Rumour that Bo'ness have signed a player from Kelty ,I hope we have as we need a stronger squad.
We've definitely signed someone

At the Bo'ness game you had a full bench, plus Black who was as a coach that day but is still a player? So thats at least 17, nlus remember being said you had a few boys out, so Dave clearly isn't far off, feasably could have confused other coaches/manager to get up to 19/20

This was a tweet from the progressive of the two Bo'ness clubs on their own improvements. The older supposed more established club will probably wish to hire it

A wee Sunday teaser for you to get you thinking. On this day in 2012 we went to St Andrews and won 6-1. The attack excelled that day but can you name the back four?
Devine, Campbell, Hunter, Snowdon?

Have to say today has to seriously raise questions on the fast tracking of refs. The boy was beyond out of his depth, very lucky no serious injuries happened with all the studs up challenges he let go.

Also have to say i enjoy having a peek in here to see your reviews CJ, always very entertaining reads!

Musselburgh travelled through to meet Bo’ness for the first floodlight match on the new 3G pitch. Both teams had good victories at the weekend and were looking to cement another win which would see either Bo’ness return to the top of league or Musselburgh move closer to a top half position.
Burgh made one change to Saturday’s line up. Michael Moffat replaced Tom Clare at right back. First 10 or so minutes were quite cagey with no real efforts on target. The first goal came in 14 minutes, Bo’ness had a free kick in their own half. Ball was aimed at Hunter, but instead of heading towards the Burgh box, Hunter headed sideways towards Jackie Myles, who unfortunately lost control of the ball. The Bo’ness right back, Jacobs then produced a powerful shot from 25 yards which went over Paul Grant and Bo’ness were 1-0 up. Certainly a contender for goal of season, if there was such an award!
The lead lasted three minutes. Following a throw in by Michael Moffat, the ball was cleared back into the Musselburgh half. John Williams then played ball to Jackie Myles. Depending on who you talked to, either Jackie Myles scuffed the ball into the box, or played a delightful top spin pass. Either way, the ball came to Nathan Evans whose shot made it 1-1.
Bo’ness should have went 2-1 up on 22 minutes. A free kick into the Burgh box was half cleared and the Bo’ness number 4, Campbell shot wide, when he should at least have hit the target. Four minutes later, Michael Moffat broke up a Bo’ness attack with a long ball which landed in the path of Nathan Evans. The Burgh forward ran between Campbell and Hunter, then placed the ball to the right of the out-coming Bo’ness keeper. Musselburgh now 2-1 up.
On 33 minutes there was a loud scream as the Bo’ness no.10 Morgan was fouled. The tackle did not look that bad, but a yellow card was given to a bemused Declan O’Kane. Morgan got up, limped for a mandatory six steps, then after the free kick was taken, Morgan suddenly forgot the limp as he raced to the ball.
Nathan Evans should have got his hat-trick on 36 minutes. Following a pass by Jackie Myles, the forward nearly lost the ball but then managed to control it. But, instead of hitting the ball between the posts, Nathan Evans somehow hit the side net.
The equaliser came in 43 minutes; the 2nd match in a row that Burgh conceded a goal close to half time. A long throw in, was headed into the Burgh net by an unchallenged Hunter.
Half time: Bo’ness 2-2 Musselburgh Athletic
Blink and you just about missed the first goal of the second half. Only 38 seconds on the clock when a cross to the far post, was knocked back by Nathan Evans. Waiting on the goal line was Darren Downie to hit the ball into the net and Burgh led 3-2.
Three minutes in and Morgan looked to get the equaliser but his shot went straight to Paul Grant. However, on his knees and his hands in the air, Morgan tried to claim for a penalty but was unrewarded for his efforts.
On 50 minutes, Nathan Evans nearly made it 4-2 for the away side. Good link up play between Bradley Whyte and Daniel McBay and ball was played to the Burgh forward. With his back to goals, Nathan Evans quickly turned but his shot went straight to the Bo’ness keeper, Murphy.
Morgan was booked for a rash foul on Michael Moffat on 57 minutes. Tempered were raised as the match progressed with the Bo’ness bench particularly unhappy at a couple of decisions made against their players. The assistant manager Black seemed very perplexed, shouting and speaking to himself, then he charged up the steps towards the changing room. He appeared to hide amongst Bo’ness fans by standing against the building wall. At this point the linesman called the referee over. Bizarrely the referee showed the manager, Max Christie the red card. Christie stood there in bewilderment and at that point, Black came back to the dugout. Another conflab between officials and Black was instead shown the red card. Black moved away from the dugout, while Christie stayed where he was. You just could not make this up. But, instead of going further up the enclosure, Black stood behind the dugout, making a mockery of the sending off.
Soon after, Morgan received his second yellow/red for an apparent hand ball, when Morgan thought he had been fouled. Morgan had to be told to go to the dressing room as he tried to stand beside his assistant manager. With 13 minutes left, Bo’ness were 3-2 down and only 10 players on the park.
This did not have an initial impact on the home side, as two minutes later the match was all square. The ball was played to the right hand side of the Burgh goal area. The left winger, Henderson (?) played the ball into the goal area and the unmarked substitute, Keast levelled the score at 3-3, with eleven minutes left.
Into the last nine minutes, Jackie Myles had a chance but his effort went over the bar. Soon after, Bradley Whyte was booked for a foul when Bo’ness were on the attack. The winner came in 88 minutes. Bo’ness had a corner and Hunter ran in and again unchallenged, headed his 2nd of the match.
Full-time: Bo’ness 4-3 Musselburgh Athletic.
The home side and fans were jubilant with the win, whilst Musselburgh will have regrets about not taking at least a point rom the match.
Absolutely nothing that could be done with the goal scored by Jacobs, but the other three all went in with no challenge on the goalscorer. That is something which needs addressed.
The positives for Musselburgh are that in the last two matches, Darren Downie and Nathan Evans have scored seven goals between them.
While Bo’ness returned to the top of the Musselburgh slipped a place; so a win on Saturday, away to Blackburn, takes on added importance.If we didnt have the "never say die" attitude that Max has instilled in the players Mussey would have had the three points. I think coming away with a loss is really harsh on you guys, but thats football for you, as you said don't defend, don't be shocked when the opponent takes advantage of the space. Sure you guys will be moving up the table in no time, number 20 (nathan?) was some player, lot of pace and tricky footwork, just a shame about his needless high tackle that the ref wanted to ignore until the bo'ness player pointed out the blood coming out his thigh!

What about the strike from Dev for the first goal. Better than the one at the nitten?
Far better, instead of running onto a pass he had to first win it, then place his shot from a standing position. Absolutely mad that the top two goal of the season contenders so far are from Dev, wouldnt have believed you if you'd said it at the start of the season.

Big congrats to Andy Murphy on his 100th start, may have conceded 3 but couldn't say he was at fault for any of them and did well to marshall his area between the equaliser and full time. Hes some keeper and we're lucky to have him!

Another historic chapter in BU history tonight, hopefully the previous result at olivebank is in the boys' minds and has a positive impact. Another fighting performance like Saturday and anything is possible!

As if things weren't bad enough for Mark and Paul it looks like theyve been merged into a single person as a result of this sacking!

At least the posts last night could have been explained away by a heavy night of drink to drown their sorrows but for it to continue into a 2nd day? This is honestly the most impressive meltdown I've seen since the sats when we were in the junior forum

Moving swiftly on seeing as this has basically ran its course and is becoming cyclical. Looking g forward to wednesday night, another historical occasion for the BU our first game under the lights and against no less than against the only team we have lost against this season. Expect this will be a good match with mussey right up for it with their excellent win yesterday. Another game that could be very hard to predict!

Cant say I noticed the individual you seem obsessed with
No as anxious as me with big creepy drawers with nae top on singing bouncy bouncy. Put the fear in me. Funny how none of u acknowledge that supporter? Only 2 young supporters giving the rest a bad name and u are in meltdown with them.
Ian black was put down as a coach that’s how he was in the dugout0 -
Yeah really should have caveated this to ask why folk who are deliberately antagonistic do so
I think it’s absolutely fine and much prefer it when fans of both sides are free to mingle at Newtown and all other grounds.
Tranent need contained in a big fucking shatterproof and soundproof dome though.0 -
I think part of it is in my mind from when I first started going to boness games and we had a similar element which meant segregation was often required at bigger matches leading to that area being a de factor official away area in my mind
Looking out from the enclosure, to the right of the dressing rooms. Obviously there isnt segregation, just makes sense from a geographic standpoint as that area provides just as good a view without any chance of issues erupting from fans. After yesterday's antics I would hope that segregation was encouraged for any further visits by tranent, the agresuon being shown to pensioners for daring to celebrate their teams win was disgusting0 -

Genuine question Wullie - where is the away section.
I have never been at any ground in the East Juniors league, (except Fauldhouse) and now EoS where I thought that there was segregation. Most times I have been at Bo’ness in last 15 years, I had stood opposite the dug out and when going to get a pie, stood behind the goals, or just outside the enclosure at main stand.
There has always been a mix of home/away support as there should be at all matches! Never felt threatened and any of the grounds.

Also have to question why at one of the few grounds at this level to have a clear area for away fans tranent are the only team who insist coming into the enclosure? Would have been understandable had it been raining but beyond that I see no other reason than to be antagonistic?

I'm specifically not going to any away games at tranent and was actually quite anxious about attending yesterday because of previous experiences with your fans. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way also
I don’t think I’ve read so many lies in one post.. if it was that bad u wouldn’t come to Tranent..try not to exaggerate coz ur just making yourself sound silly.. I witnessed a few of ur own fans acting like utter imbeciles yesterday so nothing to be proud of from ur end !! Scaring young girls is seemingly what make some of your ‘fans’ look like hard men !
