Keeper looking a bit suspect for the goal. Not seen anything from him this season that has justified his position as number 1 at the club. You could have so much better
It was a tight game between two very well matched sides - I was racking my brains as to the last time there was a manager in the away dug out who had won a national cup competition as a manager.
I thought Clyde changed things and got a bit of momentum, giving them an edge as the game went on. I thought we matched and possibly bettered them for the first 60 minutes, and if one of the chances had gone it, well who knows, but that's cup football. Ultimately the team that scores the most goals wins, and everything else is just chatter.
Alan Horne was the outstanding player on the park. I don't think the goalie did much wrong, but I think overall the team didn't do much wrong either. Very disciplined performance in front of a crowd bigger than 6 of the other 15 cup ties. The club has come a long way, and there is so much potential to continue on their journey.
Exciting times.

Value for money if you turned up after an hour, the first half and the next 10 minutes or so were sleep inducing. The entertainment value of the last half hour was up there though.
It's one of the biggest games in the league, very tight between two evenly matched sides. I thought it was compelling viewing.

Baur singed on until the end of the season. Happy with that.

Will be interested to see latest odds, shifted Bonnyriggs way but we still have tough games at home V Spartans and Strollers before we even get to Kelly and ES again.

I'd echo the comments above about the game and the 2nd half in particular.
If I heard the announcement correctly, there were 339 at tonight's game, BSC's biggest crowd of the season by some distance.
Bit of a travesty that BSC don't get more support - they've a very good team, and seem to have the infrastructure in place to move forward.
The ref was, well, inconsistent. Five minutes injury time was a piss take.
Bonnyrigg are a bit light on bodies, and it was very welcome to see Johnny Stewart back. Onwards and upwards. I still think BSC will have a role to play in where the title ends up. Lets hope East Stirlingshire do tomorrow n all.

Nice ground. Horrible day. Massive three points.

Any odds on the lowland league just now?

Well he’s got till January to compete with the rest of a strong squad for a place. It’s a short term deal for both parties to see how it goes.
He lives in the North West of England I believe. The Kelty squad is already extremely strong and robust for this level, although possibly a bit light on more experienced players (not that its shown in results this season) so perhaps that is the thinking behind it?
But I'd be surprised if he's there past January.

He cant run now. Was run riot at EK against us and came on at right back to 'stop' dishington. He was rotten and at fault for 2 goals
He was done at Hibs three years ago, and he's previously retired due to injuries, so unless something radical has happened to him I doubt he'll get a game for Kelty.
Contrary to popular belief elsewhere in football, the lowland league is a very decent league with very fit players. Certainly not a league for past it passengers.

By my reckoning current maximums are:
Kelty 87
Bonnyrigg 85
BSC 83
East Stirling 76
The Spartans 75
Civil 71
East Kilbride and Cumbernauld 68
The likelihood of anyone putting even 10 points into Kelty in 15 games is very small, and even if they did they would also have to put 8 points into Bonnyrigg and 6 into BSC.
So barring snookers its between Kelty, Bonnyrigg and BSC now.
The head to heads are going to be crucial, and wins away from home will be a big advantage - which BSC have already done at Bonnyrigg so I wouldn't be surprised if they are top come the end of the season.

Horrible fans supporting a horrible club.
I'd be ashamed if that was my club.
C'mon the ShireI don't get why you hate us so much. We're pretty ambivalent towards you, it would have been nice to have come up against you when you were a big team.

Cmon the ShireI think you'll find the regulars have never been happier with the way the club is being run.

Something we'll never find out but whilst your crowds are very impressive what's the max you think yer average (not die hard) fan would be willing to pay ?
On saying that isnt £15 on a par wi League 1 prices and BOTH clubs need to agree a price ?
I think it tops out for a one off game at around £20 for us.
But, I'm not sure that will be the same every season?

Cmon the ShireYou’re not stupid you understand supply and demand. We could have charged more and still sold out.

Same reason why many things round here are bollocks - West Lothian Council couldn't run a tuck shop.
You could have very comfortably added 600 to Linlithgow's capacity - that would have brought the crowd up to the numbers we had against Forfar and Raith Rovers, both of which passed off without the tiniest concern.
Isn't the capacity linked to the numbers of exits? Bonnyrigg could have sold more tickets, but the club themselves always had a limit in mind much lower than the theoretical capacity.

What's your point caller?
I wonder what league 1 and league 2 grounds look like with 2000 crowds? There’s a lot of constructive points about our ground, and I’m sure the club will take on the feedback from our visitors today.
personally I’d like safe standing and a covered terrace!

Not good enough today. OK some lads need pitch time but that needs to happen in bounce games not potential money spinning games like at Bonnyrigg. Not fair on the travelling fans today.
As an aside and no disrespect meant to Bonnyrigg but if that ground is not fit for SPFL football so if they aspire to that they need to get cracking with the facilities. Good luck to the lads in their team in the next round though. I've been to several groundsl in both Lowland and Highland leagues and which are of a similar poor standard so in a pyramid system that pyramid looks to be a small one. OK some grounds might be OK but a heck of a lot aren't. Yes, I'm in the minority, I don't think the pyramid system in Scotland is good. I'd still enlarge the SPFL to let in a few more progressine HL and LL clubs who have facilities to match their aspirations.
The rain makes it much worse I think

Discipline was great after going down to 10. Pitch and surrounding area took a hammering with the weather.

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme choise.
The only way out of the impasse is for one major west region club to make a move happen, and I suspect others would follow.
strange that only dunipace have done anything, and Clydebank haven’t followed up.
