  1. We've been lucky.

    Rab Shieds was fantastic for us when I was younger.

    Ronnie McPherson was a great, huge part of the team that beat Bo'ness in a final over at Broxburn, performance in the final and penalties alone was brilliant.

    Ali Adams was a fantastic keeper for us but going back for him when he couldn't settle elsewhere cost us two great keepers in Kieron Renton and Dale Cornet who were fantastic but rightly went elsewhere for game time.

    Throw Scott Cantley in there as well and current No 1 Bobo is shaping up nicely as well.

    Christ even Kenny Malcolm when called upon.

    If your going to try and act the Billy Big Bawz then do a wee bit of homework. The SJFA had nothing to do with the league title it was the WSJFA who awarded it.

    WSJFA.SJFA, pretty much the same thing these days.

    You really are a child. That argument is easily shot down. We played Linlithgow at Livingston, we played Shotts at Livingston, actually having to drive past Shotts to get to it, we played Pollok in Glasgow a few miles from their ground, we played Newtongrange at Falkirk (not particularly close to them but a lot closer than Auchinleck is)

    You might have an argument about the distance Musselburgh  had to travel but to say its because the SJFA favours Talbot makes you out to be an absolute lunatic frankly and not to be taken seriouly

    That argument can easily be shot down but you have a point?  Hilarious.

    You got yer last wee favour of them mind, congratulations on the title, remember and put an asterix next to it.

    Yes you are right Talbot may find themselves on the same level  as a Stranraer. I don't see that as an insult, in fact its pretty insulting to every lower league team in the SPFL.

    Why the hatred, Still not over those  two Junior Cup Finals. 

    Nah, no issues with the results.

    The SJFA taking it up the ring to ensure both were at Rugby Park still grates a bit though.  Might be a bit of a shock for y'all when the new associations won't lube up for ye and you can't get the toon bus along to finals though.

  5. Glad it's now happening, welcome in guys.  Nothing but positive about our move to the EoSFL, and I was a doubter,  administration and representation in the league has been first class and if you get the same in the West it'll give teams a wee lift and a push on.

    Bit of luck we'll see a bit of work between the three associations to shape things above us and to work together for all of our benefits.

    Hopefully will create a great tournament in the South challenge cup as well.

    Good to have you all in.

  6. Tynecastle can count themselves unlucky last night, good side and looked a pretty tight unit.

    Did get a laugh at Callum Elliot getting booked while trying to get a Musselburgh player booked though.  Nice nostalgic moment for those of us that wondered what the hell he was doing at Tynecastle back in the day.

    Seriously though, good to see him still involved in the game, always seemed a likeable guy.  Actually checked out his Wiki today only to find he'd managed Mousehole in Cornwall fairly recently.  Credit due for taking himself all the way there but I have to say the mind boggles a bit as to how this one came about.

    Shocking post!

    Tranent have their detractors but are a cub pushing in the right direction in most areas.  RobM not coming across in a great light here at all....

    I can't begin to tell you how much of a toss I don't give. 

    Tranent have pushed in th right direction before, generally ends in tears.

    Shame on you RobM, your a sad individual who possibly needs to go and get help with that 'chip on your shoulder', why not embrace the situation that one off your local rivals has done well over the last few years with the transforming of the facility.

    Its now time for you to move on RobM, forget the bitterness towards the TJ's and concentrate on getting Olivebank the SFA licence that your hard working committee deserve.

    Love you too.

  9. Beat like a drum today and a decent manager down?  When do you think the money men will get bored?

    On the plus side last time the club got burned down, this time you've scored a set of lights, not bad for a rabble.

    So now we sit back and see who publicly declares an interest today? They wouldn't release this statement without knowing some clubs would come forward to get the ball rolling. Right? RIGHT?

    What does it matter to the Eos and SoS leagues if the West want to get the ball rolling or want to continue the petty demands for a higher placing for the West teams.

    It won't happen, no West team should automatically get a higher placing than Bo'ness, Lithgae etc. or start higher than where Bonnyrigg did,  East teams are thriving and it's of little import to them that committees and blazers in Ayrshire, Glasgow etc. are trying frantically to maintain their wee positions of power.

    Junior game's a bust flush, even a great tournnament like the Scottish is a shadow of its former self, glorified WoS cup now with the addition of Tayport and Lochee.

    Got some sympathy for the Tayside clubs but the West juniors have to  realise it's not exclusively their ball anymore.

     

  11. Pays to have been patient, well done to Geordie, Ryqn and Paddy and the players for getting it turned round, need to back them all the way to the end of the season..

    Keep our  heads above water and with qualification for the Scottish through the Alex Jack etc. I'd say the managerial staff and the players have put us ahead of any plans we might have had as a club by a whole season.

    Still a way  to go, fair bit of the season to go but it's been noticeable how much folk are putting into the club and that the atmosphere around Olivebank is positive (within the support as well).

     

  12. Didn't look great for The Burgh until it all turned around yesterday but it was a great, reallly enoyable day.

    Thinking back to  a few years ago and I always kind of had a belief that it didn't really matter if we ever played at Whitehill, they had their league and we had ours.  Big part of it being a great day yesterday was that the Welfare are a great wee club and a pleasure to visit.

    Thanks for the welcome and all the best for the rest of the season.

    Apart from when y'all come down to Olivebank!
