    Bo'ness United 2023/24

    Cannot think of any Athletic players who have signed for the BU's.   Interest was shown by the BU's in one of their players but Athletic were wanting silly money for him so it didn't happen.

    Going the other way -  a very young Tiwi Daramola had a brief time at BU's and later signed for Athletic.

    Are you sitting comfortably, good then I will begin,

    Once upon a time there was a Junior team and their name was Bo'ness United.   They played at Newtown Park which is not owned by the club but run by the NPA (that's another long story).

    Over the hill there was a village amateur team called Linlithgow Thistle.  

    Some wealthy guys decided to pump some money into Linlithgow Thistle but where would they play.

    Newtown Park was Thistles  preferred venue but using the "Bo'ness" ID was a concern for tge BU's so Thistle had a meeting with the BU's and there was agreement/understanding that Linlithgow Thistle would become a new team "Boness Athletic" and would operate lower down the leagues and be a feeder club for the BU's.

    It soon became apparent that once "Athletic" had a foot in the door they had no interest in being a feeder club. Promises were broken and many of the BU committee HATE the Athletic committee.

    There is no "history" between the 2 teams on the pitch.  

    Bo'ness Athletic is a pop up plaything for a few minted chancers, no more, no less.  

    Some call Athletic "parasites" but that's unfair......to parasites !!

    Mon the BU's !!!

    Can anyone explain why there was extra time today when the LL clubs voted against it?

    This was the last time.  There is no extra time in the club 42 playoff from now on.

    Eagerly anticipating the LL fan boy conspiracy theorists telling us that it's an SPFL plot to keep them down.

    Was there anything to suggest that it wasn't a fair outcome ?  I was just following the games on the two clubs Twitter feeds and both teams had plenty of chances with the officials having very little influence on the outcome.

    I like the Lowland League .....but I dislike EK.

    There was talk from a reliable source at our final game that 2 players had agreed to join the BU's. One of the two was a central defender.  Think the other is a midfielder.

    Like most other clubs no names will be announced until early June when papers are processed by the SFA.

    Musa, Daziel and McArthur confirmed away. Will follow Musa's career with interest going forward.

    Sorry to see Musa leave. Hope he signs for a club higher up the pyramid.

    Dalziel loved playing on a Saturday but at 39 his legs are gone.

    McArthur a decent player but not going to be a big loss.
