Lack of praise here for big Scott "Rhino" Richie, that penalty shoot out at Dalkeith certainly shut up a lot of doubters ourselves included!I remember Chic as being decent when he joined us. He was our 4th keeper to play that season and it was only the start of October! He played in the infamous Blantyre Junior Cup penalty farce.
Andy Murphy succeeded him and has been, for the most part, top drawer. Prone to occasional lapses but against that has saved so many points on his own. We also got the best out of Scott Christie.
Also, one 'keeper with a 100% shutout rate deserves a mention...…..Robert Sloan [emoji122][emoji3]
Poorest? Lucas Birstingl anyone?
Wil never forgive Mark Peat for some of the clangers he had, none more so than the Arbroath game in the Scottish Cup when he was standing in direct sunlight cupping his eyes while a shot came in.0 -
More and contract extended "despite significant interest"
I assume we're posting here till we know what league we're in next season.?
If so looks like some signing news this afternoon [emoji102][emoji102]0 -

Hopefully the discussion LL clubs had about expanding the league as per this part of Bonnyriggs statementThe contingency plan bit sounds mildly promising from a Bo'ness standpoint.

Surely in this case it's the same with the situation in the EoS premier as even if HoB were to win all their games in hand they would still have been behind
Bonnyrigg were never in control of their own destiny. Even if we were able to play all league games. They will certainly be disappointed but don't think they can complain too much.0 -
From Bonnyriggs statement looks like expansion of the LL was discussed

Simplest solution to the playoff issue at this stage is to.relegate both VoL and Dalbeattie with one going EoS and the other SoS that is if the SoSs decided champion is a licensee

LL have ended season and awarded Kelty the trophy, considering how close things were between Kelty and Bonnyrigg, I would suggest that this should set a precedent for the EOS leagues. No reason now why teams at top shouldn't be awarded title like in every other Scottish league (if Dundee FC stop blocking the SPFL motion that is)

According to the EOS website both HOB & Dundonald have scored more goals than Boness .
I defer to someone better in the know, maybe going off a couple weeks back in my mind like an eejit

Championship form. Small margins make all the difference in football.
Only failed to score in one game so far this season in the league (Blackburn at home 1-0 to them) and on top of that still the team with the most goals scored in the league. All these 1 or 2 goal wins add up as a season goes on

Moving away from the circular nonsense about Juniors joining at tier 5/6 or whatever theres also serious discussions still to be had about the farce that is promotion to the LL and the relegation/promotion situation between tier 4 and 5. I think Max Christie is totally spot on here.

Should be focusing on your team's relegation battle, how did you enjoy barely beating nitten at home last night?

Midfielder again
Sauchie again
One of the places our early season injury crisis was hit hardest by, plus the guy can play full back as well? When Sauchie visited they had a couple of decent looking players who for whatever reason just didnt gel with one another, cant write people off before they've even had a chance to play.

Mark Cowan
Robbie Feeney
Darren Downie
no place for Declan McAvoy or Chris Mackie in this duds 11? Inclusion of Mark Cowan is more than a bit unfair as he actuallu did contribute some goals for us in the time he wasn't injured. Also harsh on Mark Peat when Connor Wallace was around this decade

It was a foul and Don should be booked wasn't disgusting though as you are putting it but it was a foul and should have been a booking.
Yeah exactly your team did their job thats what I said.
Nothing disgusting about a studs up challenge that saw a young player having to be helped off the pitch? Someone really is seething tonight huh?

Guess this thread is probably the best place to put this question, who makes your Team of the Decade? Had a good chat about this today with Jambo and Dave and we came up with a
4-3-3 of
Murphy/Jamieson
Snowdon Duffin McQueen Hunter
Shirra Gemmell Sloan
Walker Hislop Gribben
Never decided on a bench, but personally I would have one of the two keepers above plus, Stevenson, Campbell, Wright, Keast.

Yes but it was game management from boness towards the end when we had the ball on the deck we were a threat. Getting it up in the air just killed us.
Keeper made a worldly aswell for boness. As I said to ur gateman before the game the way you won against hob is what wins titles wins like that and today win yousnleagues
Almost like we had an understanding of your tactics and knew how to nullify them. Btw Alan whats your thoughts on that disgusting tackle on McKenzie seeing as you're deflecting about the lino laughing about it?

2016 and a low point in the relationship with the SJFA. The setting was a Junior Cup 3rd Round replay at home to Blantyre Victoria. The match itself finished 2-2 after goals by Ross Campbell & Fraser Keast. It was then that the farce started. The referee, despite being urged otherwise to go straight to penalties, as per the rules, decided to play extra-time. After the first 15 mins and darkness descending, he then chose to go to penalties. The BU's lost 4-3 but most fans expected the result to be nullified due to the error made by the ref. An appeal was made but amazingly dismissed.
The team was: Clark, Gemmell, Devine (Snowdon), Campbell, Hunter, Ru McLennan (Wright), Strickland, Philp, Keast, Simpson, Rod McLennan (Sloan)
That should have been the end of our relationship with Junior football, from that moment on any credibility in staying junior was gone for me personally

Superb by Penicuik and Broxburn today, doing the EOS proud!

Perfectly happy with us winning ugly if necessary, better than playing beautifully and losing, another clean sheet today as well which is a plus defense dealt with HoB well

Are the BU's taking steps to get licenced this year ?
With the ground improvements and the start to the season we have had you would certainly be hoping so
