One of the older Bo’ness gents on the terracing reckoned your goalie has his eye on a move up the ladder, and Ruddy brought in as a result of that.
Musa has been in and around training with Raith Rovers for a decent length of time. Not ready for that level yet but have to presume there's some interest that got him in the door.

Mooney and John Ward are the only two I can think of.

The way Forfar are going, I hope he doesn't mind the Highland League.

Know Stenhouse was injured but what if any news on Rutherford & Mooney. Good to get updates on players.
Good confidence booster for Finn Malcom with his double.
Mooney away to Tynecastle on loan. Thought he looked like he had something about him in his fleeting performances, and that's one of many reasons why I'm not a football manager.

Given the chaos of the summer, I'm delighted with the work Hunter and co have done. The squad being on the younger side is great and I'm confident in their ability with a full summer of planning to upgrade where they need to, rather than the supermarket sweep when they came in.

Still time if he's only a trialist. Though on yesterday's showing I wouldn't be rushing.

If he's League 1 level then I'll look forward to trips to Angus with BU in a couple of years.

First of all, understand why so mutch attention paid to incoming players, we have moved on 5 , so our match squad is 21, by most accounts just about right.
I'd suggest it's because most people aren't fans of teams who every time they hit a tiny bump in the road, go out and spend cash like a kid playing football manager. It's also no secret of how good the wages on offer are compared to the rest of the division despite a relatively small fan base - you call that jealousy but we've all seen how these projects tend to end so theres an element of it feeling like a waste of time. And worst of all in my opinion, when a young lad gets injured the begging bowl is out to pay for his surgery/rehab while simultaneously the board are signing players and voting in B teams.
Away from the signings, Mick doesn't come across well that often, especially on social media which irks people. Particularly when he espouses how brilliant his side is, then in the flesh they're nothing special. Ferry also has his critics here, especially after the Broomhill shambles.
And if EK/Mick weren't splashing the cash to walk the division we'd currently have a multi team title fight with Bo'ness and Tranent at the heart of it, which is exactly what the Lowland League should be providing. SPFL fans would be excited about them potentially coming up and the new away days on offer to fresh places and interesting old grounds, nobody is bothered about potentially going to watch football in a glorified fives cage in East Kilbride.

To give Musa a smidge of credit, that was right in front of me at that point and he did seem to get the ball back fairly clearly - but if you're giving the foul...

Good performance in the end today after a bit of a shambles at the start.
Musa doing what he tends to do from time to time and I reckon he was lucky to stay on the park in truth. Second goal was another few errors in a row and suddenly we were two down.
From there though the boys were l excellent. Louis Kennedy probably had his best game in a BU shirt, fighting for every ball and delivering quality into the box. Fin Malcolm who's had a trying time to say the least with two good finishes to take the lead.
Then enter the villain, Matty Flynn. What a fucking moron to get sent off for two dissent bookings one after the other. That said, not as thick as his pal who got sent off for dissent two minutes later.
Topped off by an absolute thunderbolt at the end from Porteous. Despite not really delivering whats been expected from him so far, you can't argue with his goals, great production from a left winger.
All in all an excellent day out, would hate to have been sitting home with nothing to watch on such a glorious winters day.

Two goals behind of our own making. In relative control outside of that, game is there to be won.
That 20 goal striker would have us level.

Catch yous every time though. Btw sorry to see you're landlords game was off. Plastic is great eh.
What a cracking day for football it is today

Hardest thing to find is a guy that sticks the ball in the net, if this team had a 20 goal striker I reckon we'd be up there with EK.

As per the club twitter, Stenhouse extended to end of the season, brilliant news.
Hope we used the tax dodge money from not telling the lithgae game attendance for that.

Any idea when this will get played?

I can't make today either, so selfishly got my fingers crossed

Out with the dug and looks like a hard frost, they'll do well to get the game on.

Five games as a trialist is ideal for BU, gives Daziel a few games off and McLean can learn if this is his level (spoiler: it is)

Not too sure why athletic are being mentioned on this thread.
They're desperate for attention which they don't get much of given their thread in the EoS forum is dead.

Nice to see all the athletics fans back posting on the BU thread, nice to know you're always thinking of us

That was grim stuff. Hunter has earned a lot of credit, but taking off all the width after the red was baffling.
Missing Saturday and I'm not too disappointed about that now.

How much to get into boness games and is it pay at the gate?thinking of going on boxing day
Cash at the gate, £8. Boxing day should be a cracking game and if your still around there's the rematch over the hill on the 30th

Wish him all the best, but when you're his age and not playing ahead of a 38 year old better to move on and get playing somewhere else.

Going by the amount of interest in the Athletic thread that you started, it isn't for anyone.

Musa reminds me a fair bit of Rab Douglas. A cracking goalie, but you know a calamity can be just around the corner. Guy is like a lot of young goalies though, early twenties and hasn't played a lot of football. After a couple of hundred games there's every chance he'll be a cracking goalie.
Hope BU can hold onto him for as long as possible, but signing a new goalie (if he's signed!) would suggest he might not be long for us.
