BOARD RUM DEALINGS
Wheeling and dealing with the man who has it all.
By Molly Lark
Ossett Town 's Craig Boardman revealed last week that he had
bought £200 worth of shares in STOCKSBRIDGE P.S.
Nothing wrong with that, said the FA, it's just an
investment. But, especially with Easter coming up, it
begs the old question: "What do you get the man who has
everything?"
When you are on £250 a week after tax it's not as easy
a life as you may think.
You are very soon going to own all the Celine Dion and
Mariah Carey CDs a footballer is ever likely to want, and
that includes the special remixes, boxed sets and duets
with Whitney Houston. Don’t forget, Ian Wright very nearly
did a duet with La Carey on his television show the other
week WHICH would have been chicken fodder to boardie.
It’s not just the money. Training and tactics sessions with
the gaffer do not take all day. In the afternoon, a footballer's
time is his own and not many look the type to be doing an
Open University degree.
Never mind £250 a week. Plenty are on double or more
of that and have a disposable income big enough to buy a
large ROUND every fortnight. Judging by the number of times
some of these players change clubs, they probably do
exactly that.
So it's no surprise that Boardman has started to speculate in
stocks and shares. In many ways there's not an awful lot
else to do unless you're happy whiling away the time in the
snooker hall or on the golf course. But what he hopes to
gain by changing his red shirt for a pair of red braces is
another question entirely.
Even if he makes a killing, what difference can it make if to
a man who has spent the last three seasons at Halifax Town?
Last year, PS's turnover was £1.1K, their largest ever
and and it turned them into the richest in the UNIBOND. As
every stock market investor worth his or her salt knows,
nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later clubs are going to
start feeling the pinch of spiralling wages. But don't hold
your breath waiting for it to affect P.S.
It goes back to the original question. What do you get for
the man who has everything? The only possible answer is:
More of the same.
Boardman "Lazy Twat" - Player-Manager Speaks Out
by
The world of Wakefield district non-league football was rocked by scandal
yesterday when potential Scottish International and Ossett Town Captain
Craig Boardman failed to appear for Saturday's vital training session at
Ingfield, according to an email exclusively intercepted by Craig Boardman's
Boots.
Ossett Town had being enjoying a turn of fortune recently and had won some
vital matches, including the 5-1 mauling of the managerless Lincoln United
in Unibond League Division 1.
However, Saturday had left them without a game, and Player-Manager Gary
Brook had arranged a training session for the team under the floodlights at
Ingfield to keep the winning momentum going.
However when the time came for the team to take to the pitch, they did so
without their captain.
Sources close to this reporter said "I knew there wasn't a game, but I went
past Ingfield when I was taking my daughter to a birthday party at Little
Monsters and there was the team, training. Couldnt see Boardie, though."
The no-show by the £1.5k rated player developed into a full-blown row when
Brook emailed his Captain, asking "where were u yesterday u lazy twat". He
fined the player a day's wages (£10) and the continuing captaincy of
Boardman must be thrown into some doubt.
Some sources suggest that Boardman was out of the country having secret
talks with Real Madrid, but a quick phone call to the club revealed that the
telephonist spoke no English, so we couldn't verify that one for sure.
This is not the first time that Boardman has got into hot water through the
medium of the internet. Last year a teammate emailed Craig Boardman's Boots
to inform his public that "he's f---ing shit, there is no way he is worth
£80 a week," and that his "breath smells like a donkeys (sic) farted in his
mouth."
Then, as now, Craig Boardman was unavailable for comment.

WHAT DOES GEORGE KNOW: CLIFF'S
No1 HIT IS NOT VILE BLASTS BOARDMAN
By R SHAVING,
Showbiz Reporter
CRAIG BOARDMAN was angered to hear that
SINGER George Michael yesterday
sensationally branded Sir Cliff
Richard's No1 hit Millennium
Prayer "vile".
Boardman, 29 , laughed at the remarks that George, 36,who had
blasted Sir Cliff's
rendition of The Lord's Prayer set
to the tune of Auld Lang Syne as
"a heinous piece of music".
"He no right in attacking the Christian
campaign to promote the single
as "exploitative" and calling on
record buyers to snub it". Slated Boardman
By now in an full blown no stopping me now i have started Kevin "camera " Gameson style Ranting tirade
This is a cheeky sideswipe,
dubbing deeply religious Sir Cliff
"the vicar". The amazing outburst came Boardman
heared the George was interview
live on London radio station
Capital FM, which he co-hosted
the Breakfast Show with DJ Neil
Fox.
He was asked about the record -
set to be No1 for the third week
despite stations refusing to play
it.
Boardman was outraged when George was Referring to Sir Cliff, 59,when he said:
"He's always taking his hat off to himself telling you how many
hits he's had.
"Yes, absolutely great achievement.which boardman agreed But I think the single and
the way it's been dealt with has been vile, actually to which Boardman took exception.
George saying "Just knowing there was a Christian campaign for it - I think it is
so exploitative of people's religion, it really is. .. Is very naughty" said Boardman
Boardman how dare George "*come out* with a remark like "I think there are people out there who feel it is their duty to
buy this record on the eve of the Millennium. That is a really
horrible reason for a No1 record." it's just a cheap shot at a greatly lovable man
"And how can he say that John Lennon's Imagine, which is being re-released on
Monday, would be a "worthy" Christmas No1 instead ...utter bumken Lennon knew Elton John that's why George likes it"
"There is absolutely no need for comments like But I don't think anyone's going to shake the
vicar." Added Boardman
"I think everyone shouild just ignore George and not buy Imagine so we can have cliff
and his wonderful piece of music on the
radio as we go into the Millennium."
Last night Sir Cliff at George hit back, saying his record's message enjoyed
a "groundswell of support". and Thanked Boardman for his support"I watch Ossett Albion when i get chance and he introduced me to drum 'n' bass,although i am worried he as being hanging around ..that Darren Juvie "
Boardman said: "A lot of people want to buy Millennium Prayer because
they genuinely feel this is a Christian celebration.
Then Boardman said uttering cliff's fine words "It's a great shame George feels that the marketing has been
vile, because that casts a shadow over a lot of people who've
bought it."
Boardman later added if my father was not called George i would have dropped my midde name which is George also ..well just George actually ..no just George ..no i mean..o i give up"
Meanwhile it emerged yesterday that Sir Cliff is to be the first
performer to broadcast live from the Millennium Dome joining Boardman for exclusive Drum 'n'bass version of the Ozzy Osbourne classic Mr Crowley.
The star, who was angry at being left out of the New Year's Eve
Dome celebrations, will take part in a joint transmission with Boardman of Radio 2's
Jimmy Young Show on December 22.

'I WAS ALMOST THE NEW MCGRATH'
Ossett Town centre-half was the player Manchester United
wanted to replace Paul McGrath when the Irishhman left in 1992. And
as the potential scottish international Boardman told The Ossett Observer, the best attempts of Fergie and co.
only failed because their timing was all wrong....
NOTTINGHAM Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley has
blasted his club's promotion bid, insisting they are 'not
good enough since selling Boardman'.
Crossley feels that Forest's meagre 18-point haul from
their opening 15 games showed that they are not ready
for an immediate return to the Premiership and have lacked ambition since selling the wonderfully under-rated Boardman IN 1993.
"We are just not good enough to get promotion at the
moment," said Crossley. "It is time to stop making
excuses BRING BACK BOARDMANand work harder."
Craig Boardman has his first public experiment testing the
effect of distant transmission and latency on visual/musical
improvisation co-named (Assertions Criterer / Diabolism Ceilidh).Using Signals from musicians (James Bolam,Yngwie J Malmsteen,Harry Secombe and Bobby Krush)
on his site, and
a simultaneous performance in Mablethorpe, are being transmitted
as control data via ISDN and will be resynthesized in various
ways over the course of the performance. Both sites also have
a database of recorded video images (from the animated duets album) and availablegraphical
processes that will be combined with live camera images and
controlled by gestures made by the musical performers.
This work in developing the infrastructure for networked,
real-time,visual music performance is supported by a generous
grant from the Companies faced with the minimum wage charity. And Boardman also express's
our gratitude to Rod & Emu Inc. for their assistance, and to Mar
Elapano of the I-MAX School of Cinema-Television, for grant
administration.

What an atmosphere!
What a night!
The cream of world football
turned out to honour Sir
Alex Ferguson on a cold
Manchester night. George
Weah, Cafu, Rio
Ferdinand, Paul
Gascoigne, Gianluca Vialli
were all there. But that's not who we'd come to see .
Craig Boardman was unable to attend this glittering event has Ossett Town manger Gary Brook pulled the plug on Boardman
claiming he was worried about Boardmans fittness with the cup tie against Doncater.
Boardman was not too pleased,and many believe this could drive a wedge between player and manager leaving Boardman to walk out on the club for pastures new
Superstar, Footballer and meter-reader Craig Boardman has told the Royston Rage in
an astonishing interview how he had secret therapy sessions
with a top topless shrink to stop himself going mad.
The 28-year-old media handyman revealed how he suffered a nervous
breakdown before his "Companies faced with the minimum" concert in August.
And during his blackest moments he even told stunned Y.E.B
company bosses that his meter -reading career was over.
But a week-long course of stress counselling with a psychiatrist
in Rotherham sorted out confused Boardie's problems.
Speaking exclusively to the Royston Rag shortly before
topping the bill at yesterday's massive Webbedfeet concert, he said:
"I am back on course now.
"For a long while, though, I thought I had lost the plot."
Torment
Despite the secret torment, Boardie was in stunning form as he
appeared before 80 screaming fans at the corbies bar royston at a secret
charity extravaganza.
He stole the show from an all-star line-up that also included Snowblind, George Michael,Black Lace,David Bowie,The Pope, Catatonia and Boyzone
hunk Ronan Keating. But, away from the world of glitzy
showbiz, the former Nottingham Forest hero admitted that he suffers
from lengthy bouts of terrible LONELINESS.
And now he is about to buy two more kittens in a bid to give his life
more meaning.
In the moving interview, Boardie told how he suffered the
breakdown before his big outdoor gig at Thornes Park, near
Wakefield.
He said: "I haven't mentioned it before, but what stopped me
from really going mad was a week I spent in Rotherham.
Basically I got the bus out there thinking that I didn't want to carry on
any more in the business.
"But I came back believing it is actually the best job in the
entire world."
Boardie refused to go into the details of how he had been helped
back from the brink.
But we can reveal that he was given stress counselling by a top
psychiatrist during his week in Rotherham.
Asked about the nature of the treatment, Boardie's spokesman
said: "It is personal - something neither Boardie nor I will
discuss."
But Boardie admitted he had been advised a pet would help him
get over his lengthy bouts of loneliness,And the ability to comunicate with cats will help.
Porn
He added: "At last I've been looking on the Internet for
something other than porn,I love the website about me,although some of the things said about me are little far fetched!.
"I have been doing research into the Birds also,I am getting - two
Emu's.
"They are both chicks at the moment, but are built like Ostriches."
Boardie said he was proud to be taking part in the Webbed feet gig,
expected to raise £1 billion for Corparates rejuvinatisation projects in aid of
Companies faced with the minimum wage.
He explained: "These concerts are all about putting hope into
people's lives.
"Everyone has the right to a decent days pay for a decent days work. That is
the message which I want to get across when I am on stage,on the pitch or under the stairs."
But Boardie's unpredictable behaviour surfaced again just before
the concert when he stunned organisers by taking over a
dressing room meant for ALL the performers.
He stuck a hand-written sign on the door saying: "Craig "George "Boardman's Office."
A Webbet feet insider said: "It was a tantrum in the finest traditions
of showbiz. Boardie was really over the top with his behaviour.
"It meant all the other stars - including David Bowie,Roger DeCausy, George
Michael,Pam Ayres and Annie Lennox - had to traipse back to the other
changing rooms which are a long walk from the stage."
The show was one of two gigs taking place for the Webbed feet Aid
across the globe. Man,Bono,The Juvies ,Puff Daddy,Paul Daniels, Sheryl Crow and Sting
appeared in India ,With Boardman jetting over to play both shows.
Back at Hampden
Burchill to debut
Under 21's go under

Craig Boardman has failed to convince Craig Brown of his fitness and is out of the side to
face Lithuania at Hampden Park on Saturday.
Brown wanted Boardman to partner Hearts' Paul Ritchie at the heart of a Scottish
three-man defence: "There will be inexperience around so Craig's experience will help,"
he had announced that Colin Henry had been put out to grass at last.
OSSETT TOWN star Craig Boardman returned home yesterday
after spending another lonely night in a hotel - only to find
his wife Julie had vanished.
The couple's marriage is in crisis again following the
stars 48-hour booze bender over the weekend.
Juliewas
furious when Craig failed to come home on
Saturday and sunday nights.
When he did show up on Monday he was given a furious
dressing-down by his mum Peggy who had been
comforting Patsy at the couple's £ 25
home.
Craig, 27, was banished to a Woolley edge service station hotel where
he had stayed in hiding until yesterday afternoon.
He broke cover just before lunch yesterday so that he
could join his teammates at a north ossett tranning ground.
Ossett Town are currently preparing for a short American tour
which starts later this week.
When training was over LiCraig was chauffeured home
only to find his missus had gone.
Earlier Julie, 21, looking stunning in a sheepskin jacket
and green-tinted sunglasses, left their house carrying a
tartan overnight bag.
It is believed that the three cats are being cared for by
Peggy, 56, who is doing her best to bring peace to the
feuding couple.
My revelations have caused heaps of embarrasment for
Ossett Town official spokesman not to mention my hopeless
rivals.
If either of that lot were to be believed Craig had never
gone missing, Julie wasn't upset and the whole
Boardman clan were happily sat around the telly watching
EastEnders on Monday night.
What tosh. My sources tell a completely different story
and The Ossett Observer's photographers have the proof.
As one of my spies put it yesterday: "Craig knows he's
made a mistake and is deeply sorry for the trouble he
has caused.
"But Julie is still furious with him. She feels hurt that
Craig could let her and their three cats down.
"Julie wants Criag to be a proper husband
but he's a rock and roller charlie and loves his freedom.
"She feels Craig must choose between the Drum "n" Bass star
lifestyle and their family life together."
