Club have annouched that the Boston Lincs Cup game will be a 'youthful' team as the first team won't be getting back from Devon until late Friday night.

Might make a few peoples minds up on whether there attending

That's a shame, I wanted to see some of the new players, I'll still be going though, see you all there.

Resting players and playing a youth side for a cup game!? Wait until Shaun Harvey finds out that we are risking the future of the England first team for the sake of a trip to Devon! 😂

I watched a youthful team beat Brigg last night and it was a thoroughly entertaining game, I'll be at Boston saturday supporting the lads that are representing GTFC.  UTM.

And people whinge about other clubs fielding weakened sides in other cup competitions.
Some might say "That's different" but I don't see it that way.

Seems like a guaranteed way of ensuring we don't reach the final (yet another meaningless fixture!)....I assume Lincoln and Scunthorpe took a similar decision by fielding junior teams at Gainsborough and BP, respectively. This competition is long past it's sell-by date IMO.

Anyone any idea on the other semi finalists? The Lincs FA Website doesn't seem to have upto date results!

Gainsborough are one, our kids played them and lost 4-0 Saturday whilst the first team were out in Portugal. Don't know the other team involved.

Gainsborough play Grantham in the other semi-final, so although it probably won't be us if we're sending the kids to Boston, at least there will be a GTFC in the final. :-)

First team in Portugal! Spending the season ticket money already?

No, I think the costs were all met by sponsors.  There's seems to have been a hell of a lot of clubs doing similar and training in Portugal too.

You would not have posted re this if your lads had gone to Rhyl or something similar.

Seems like a dose of smug tablets where being given out free with Gimps season tickets this year.

As I said, the team went to Portugal paid by the sponsors. I wasn't responding to sound smug, haven't gone on about ST sales, signings or anything else. I just like to post about crap that's spouted about my club. We have done the army camp stuff the Rhyls, Devon and similar stuff many times, no doubt we will probably be doing something like that next year when I will hopefully still be around.

No I meant that your lads where going to Rhyl to ride on a donkey, providing fat Matt Rhead was included in the trip of course

Matt Rhead is looking lean and fit actually. Scorer of 38 in about 90 appearances for us and god knows how many assists so not bad for a not fat donkey.

Why are you on our forum Impish2? No don't bother answering that, I'm not interested in you or your club........

I will reply thanks. On here like Helgy because it's nice to be able to put right some of the crap posted about us. It's no different to some of the crap posted on our boards.

I also thought that fans from other clubs were supposedly welcomed on here?

And the connection with 'Boston-Saturday' is......

i don't look at your forum, you obviously have to much time on your hands to be looking at ours.

I think some people on here should grow up,

If a fan of another club comes on here to take the pi ss then yes have a go at them,

BUT

That is not the case this time.

Stop being a parochial numpty, if someone who supports another side wants to come on here they are welcome.

If they act a prat they will likely receive stick but Impish2 hasn't.

Impish2.....every forum has folk who snipe, and we're no different. Like your posts, but hope you get stuffed at least twice this season home and away.

No Akeem Rose, what's happened is he injured?

Yes

Where does number 7's christian name end and his surname start?

Not the hosts fault I now but £10 for what is now in terms of GTFC a Youth game :-/

Your on here just like the other Lincolnshire club who had a run of good fortune and will disappear just as quick when the bubble bursts. You have every right to be gloating with over 5,000 season ticket holders, that will drop to your usual 1700 when the bubble bursts, enjoy it while you can.

I see you haven't denied that Lincoln has the ugliest fans, so ugly in fact that one of your fans got a sex change to get some action, I'm sorry Ms Jackson, wahooooo.

Why shouldn't he be, there's no rules that he's breaking as far as I'm aware.
Obviously you're annoyed by an internet forum-may be best to log off for a while. ;)

The GET says Mills looking forward to reunion what in Devon lol

Shame we didn't put the penalty away first half to take the lead, maybe we could've made a game of it.

Bloody hell, out of the cup, will have to concentrate on the league now!!

I'm not fat so maybe they call me donkey 'cos' I like carrots ----sorry-got mixed up it was an hass

Ive met rheady . Not an ounce of fat on the bloke . Great player at LG 2 level imo

Men against young men today
We did better in phases of the first half but petered out as the game progressed
Keeble ( I think) did well and we kept going till the end
Some of the Boston players seemed to be taking it way to seriously IMO

It was clear that it was men against boys but we did give a good account of ourselves. Number 12 for Boston looks one worth keeping an eye on though.

Good experience for the up and coming players and underlines how average the senior non league pyramid is.  

Thought the academy lads acquitted themselves very well, particularly in the first half when they were much the better side. There are some there with blistering pace and they obviously tired second half in really testing conditions-a tempest blew through in the last half hour! Three Boston players were cautioned and they and some others came across as 'snarling lumps' in contrast to the silky skills of some of the town players. Given a year or two, we may have some real gems emerging.

Really? Taking a cup game too seriously?

Tbf a small club like Boston this is their only hope of cup success so they had to do everything possible to win and that included grown men hacking and kicking at boys who's just left school

Just wondered what our hopes of cup success are and in which competition?
