At a guess I've about a dozen signed shirts, 4 or 5 matchworn FL shirts and too many signed balls to be bothered to count!

The DMPL Champions signed shirt is on the landing, a present from my Best Man, its a great item save for some fat twat scrawling across the middle and spoiling it........

Sorry but I'm getting a bad feeling about next season........

Another 'lazy' signing IMO, I'm worried we're going to be filled up with cast offs from Forest's and County's academies. At least the lads who H&S brought in were proven in a very good Ilkeston side, it strikes me this kid is not in the same class.

Prove me wrong please

Crikey, there I was thinking we had moved on from the automatic negative thoughts!

Tell you what, prove me right please.

When I see something that makes me think we've made a signing that will enhance what we have already I'll be the first to praise for sure.....

Sadly I think we'll be waiting a long time.

Okay. So why pronounce this 'I must me proved right' nonsense? Sadly, I think we'll be waiting a long time for you to change the same old attitude. noughtyforties talk to me!

Funny really, there's 3 or 4 other posters who express reservations but its only me taken to task........

While I'm a paying customer I'll express my opinion as I see fit. I think we, as the supporters who pay more than anyone in this league deserve better than the signings we've seen so far. I personally don't think its unreasonable to expect a play off spot as a minimum requirement given the recent record.

You've got a good memory!

I remember that, I can just imagine his tame lackey putting any old scribble on the ball in the Sports Bar Bogs before the auction!!!!

utter shite!

Its a photocopy like all his items, I can't believe people are gullible enough to buy that kind of tat!!!

I think my favourite bit of BUFC signed stuff is a team picture of the side who played at Wembley signed by all on it. Cookie of the Chris variety has the other one as I gave it him to either put in an auction or keep himself a few years ago. The last one I got to sign it was John McPherson who was an FC stalwart for years; one Saturday I was down there and he turned up from his West Country home so I flew back home, got the pictures and he obliged! Sad I know but.........

Best header of a ball eh?

Bit unfair on Pearson surely?

Yeah they do and they are entitled to them, but by the same token we deserve better than a has been and someone who was never anything more than a squad player, don't you think?

Lets not forget we pay the highest admission prices in this league, couple that with the 2nd highest average gate and to my mind we should be looking at getting in quality, not proven mediocrity.

Steady on mate, judging by some of the recruits some on here will think he'll do a job for us next season.......!!!!!

 

Good old Tex, he'd probably always get into my all time Pilgrims XI, not the greatest player in his position but for 100% effort to the cause and loyalty he'd get my vote everytime.

I remember under Morris he had a sabbatical at Matlock but came back a few months later because 'Boston are a proper club'.

scottbufc & pride of lincolnshire have you not forgotten the rules?

criticism is frowned upon, we should all just be grateful we've got a club and be happy we're in a position to sign new players at all........tsk!

I have to say I'm completely underwhelmed so far by our incomings; the lads leaving in not at all surprised about and good luck to those who've moved for football reasons or geographical reasons, but these smack of very lazy signings and I hope the 'don't panic' cry issued last week is correct, because all I can see is down trading at the moment.

And third (ed)!

Signing Suarez is a backward step imho, JJ as good as he was is not what we need and would be anothermistake.

Disappointed about the programme of the year :/

Quite.....

I stopped buying away programmes after we left the Football League and with good reason; most seem to have been put together on a Friday night before the game with no real thought for quality and content other than to cram as many adverts in as possible.

Ours isn't perfect but its pretty good given the resources on offer, certainly its head and shoulders above the ones I have seen in the last 2 or 3 years from other clubs. At least our contributors try and be original.

BTW, whats the Old Fox got up his sleeve for next season?
