Finally found their forum and all the talk is that they they will win the league and go on great cup runs....so aren't to be taken lightly.
Then I see them advertising seats on the team bus and is this man as fat as he looks? And are they the thinnest legs in football on the left?

I've just realised I don't actually know very much about this league
-
They have a good manager, but they have soms injury probs.
They will finish a good mid table.
-
I didnt know Colina was a goalkeeper as well as an excellent referee.
-
Is it Paul Bastock? The man goes on forever!
I used to give him grief when I was 14!
-
He's Fat! Lets hope he's not on the post when we take a corner ;)

Now that IS fat. He even runs me close !
-
I reckon the Boston player will easily achieve his limbo under the crossbar.......he needs to have a go at a hurdle instead
-
The fat lad is David McNiven, another one who seems to have played on forever....

He works at Vics as a bouncer in his spare time ;)

Certainly looks like him, last heard of at St Albans, so if so he's one mobile bloke.

It is Bastock but he plays for Boston, not Workington.

According to the NLP their keeper on Saturday was called Taylor.
As for the fat bloke, I don't think it's McNiven and I'm desperately hoping it's this chap (taken from our official site tonight)
Hopper, at right back, was beaten for pace on 15 minutes as Boston launched their first attack. The 35-year-old should be excused as this was his first competitive game in 13 months... Despite lacking the pace to keep up with quick wingers, Hopper’s impeccable positioning more than made up for it...
Bear in mind that his 'impeccable positioning' was deployed against Kevin Holsgrove on Saturday.
Tomorrow, you'll be marking Nicky Clee...
Shades of Joe Jakub against Terry/Sharratt?

I think Rosie is on the money Ballers & it is David McNiven.Paul Bastock in goal for Boston on Saturday....the man who kept a clean sheet for Fisher Athletic in April 1991....the night we won 22 corners & it ended 0-0!!!
-
Bastock still playing? I wasn't sure he was still alive.
I recall that we never really got close to scoring that night, very frustrating.

Boston will be bringing back Jim Kabia next....

Didn't we almost sign McNiven a few years ago, only for him to vamoose to somewhere like Scarborough at the eleventh hour?

You're correct Ballers........loads of pressure, but clear cut chances at a premium.
My last game before becoming a father!

Yes....I think it was 2005/6 season.....he played for Scarborough when we won there 2-0.

That would have made him 20 when he was playing for Fisher that night.......sounds reasonable enough.

Thank God that the standards for admission into the Catholic priesthood have been raised considerably since April 1991.

I had a conversation with Jamie a while back where I mooted that the game that ended up being quite costly that season but has always slipped under the radar was the 0-0 draw at home to Stafford in late December. We'd just started really winning games at that point (Gary Anderson and to a lesser extent Tommy Miller's influence was starting to be felt) and I get the impression (was on holdiay) that it was just natural that you can't win them all.
Which we then basically did for about 3 months. For me, whereas the Fisher game was a damage limitation exercise against an Alty team who had clearly been marked out as a danger, that 0-0 v Stafford looks rather odd in the midst of a spell where we hammered in 3,4,5,6, even 9 goals at will in games!!
Whilst we slagged off last season's rabble for not winning or even scoring (or having a shot on target) against the bottom 2 sides (until the 2nd half v Eastbourne) quite how that 90/91 side that scored about 100 goals in all comps managed to draw 0-0 twice with a Fisher side that conceded nearly 100 is one of the GMVC's all time strange anomalies

Is that not "King" Kevin Holsgrove? Who, incidentally, scored the first from the penalty spot, gave away the penalty for Workingtons equaliser (where that photo is from I think) and then scored the winner in the 90th minute.

Feel a bit nervous what with the Voice and the Cult on this thread, but wasn't it 2-1 with McNiven scoring for Scarborough?
-
Didn't we get a bizarre crowd of about 2,000 for that Fisher Athletic match due to the fact the FA Trophy semi-final tickets went on sale after the game? I remember attending the game with my Dad and being absolutely amazed that we couldn't score.

JTH,
No need at all to be timorous.....you are absolutely correct!
-
I love your vocabulary Cult.
I'm willing to bet that this is the only fans forum in the entire country that has had the word 'timorous' used on it today! :D

There won't be another that mentions Kafka either (see elsewhere) :D

I cannot believe how McNiven is still playing at that size. What a fat f***er. lokk after yourself a bit, you're a footballer.

See Club site. According to Cumbrian paper the "Times and Star" he's actually "the stocky striker". I believe this loosely translates as "obese midget".

Well played sir.....you are indeed correct.
I had forgotten about that.

I remember the 0-0 v Fisher. I was going for my first interview at Wickes the following day. One of their defenders was, for lack of a better phrase, a bald headed midget who didn't look like he belonged on a football pitch but nothing got past him.
