Boyes? Boyes??!! The guy whose feet never left the ground after February in attempts to win headers, won the Laziest Forward in the Conference award for each month of 2013 and was Alfreton's Man of the Match in our game at the Impact Arena? He didn't really impress me.
Only one of the best footballers to play for barrow in recent times.

Boyes was a lazy [SwearFilter] who Bayliss apparently got by the throat because he was bottling it. Apparently he said he'd signed for another club and didn't want to get injured.His performances towards the end he was shite and didn't he try. I'll never forgive him

He looked good when he was getting service into the box & getting paid on time.

Once that stopped, then his performances went downhill.

Hardly surprising.

Presumably he isn't getting paid at Gateshead then as he was rubbish when they came here and hasn't been good enough to play many games for them.
He wouldn't have been the only one not getting paid but some of the others did make an attempt to play-- Atherton was his shame.

I'd have Boyes back in a heartbeat.

If, as people are suggesting, he did stop trying, consider the following.

He was owed wages. He was owed bonuses. He was playing for an arsehole. He was being played out of position to accommodate Danny L Rowe.

Anyone here who can say that they haven't just gone through the motions at sometime or other when they have been [SwearFilter] off at work is either a saint, or a liar.

For the majority of his time with us he ran his guts out and put away plenty of the meagre amount of chances he was provided with.

If one was to accept that to be true, then something changed towards the end of 2012 and experience at Gateshead this season suggests that it may not have been the items you allege. (If so he would have had a point to make in our pre-season friendly. It didn't seem to be so.)

You have nothing to be sorry to me about ant. Each to his own.
I was brought up in a generation after the war to look on life that way by both teachers---instilled in us "if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well"--and my hard working parents.

As for Boyes--having travelled to the first game at Alfreton and it was called off because of fog and then travelled again, to learn of someone not attempting to play makes me hope he runs around forever without scoring a single goal wherever he is.

Even if he returned to Barrow?
