Highlights are up on youtube:
They are really good quality, and balanced I thought.
I'm not sure I agree with Barry's assessment that Kelty could have been 5 up at half time, mind.
I actually thought at half time that Kelty should maybe have been another goal up at half time given how well they had played, but the fact of the matter is that they weren't, obviously. Tbh some of my thinking was based on the fact that I thought that they would need another goal because Bonnyrigg are too good a team not to find a way back into the game and they came very close to getting a point out of the match. It's advantage Kelty but there's possibly a few twists and turns to come yet.

I'm backing Bonnyrigg to win and to ultimately win the league. Admittedly I haven't seen Kelty yet, but certainly from what I've heard and from what ive seen of Bonnyrigg they are miles ahead of anyone we've played in the league.
I've only seen your team once this season and that was the Friday night match against BSC and your team played very well that night, although BSC made it a tough game I thought. I've seen Kelty several times and I think if they play to their best it will be a close match.

There are multiple factors when footballers choose clubs and employees choose companies. Money is the most important factor, generally. People who pretend that's not true are kidding themselves.
I don't think anyone is denying that money is the main factor when changing jobs, I certainly wasn't. I was trying to explain that it is possible that not all of the players signed by Kelty in recent seasons has been purely for the money and nothing else, as many had been implying. Your comments above seem to agree with this, as you say that money is only "generally" the most important factor.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't excpet any of the players to come and just say "money" when they're asked why they've come to Kelty. In exactly the same way you don't walk into an interview and when they ask you why you were interested in the position, just rub your fingers together. There's an understanding though that you are only there because the salary is right and if you're interviewing at three companies and one offers a lot more money than the other two, 80-90% of the time all else being equal, candidates will choose that one.
It's more than fans on here I'm talking about. See the ridiculous attempts to say that the new signings were funded by selling of a couple of squad players off the the EoS etc.
We all know Kelty are being significantly supported financially in some form or another, you all know it, we all know you all know it but some fans seem determined to pretend that's not the case.
Don't think Kelty fans are denying that they have a backer. They have though been trying to explain that the club raises good sums of money over and above what the backer may be contributing, to the extent that the club would survive if and/or when they don't have a backer.
If "all else being equal" 80-90% would choose the best paid offer, does that mean it's not all about the money if 1or 2 people turn down the best paid job?

Lots of opinions about the reasons for players signing for Kelty, most of it surrounding money. The fact is that only the players, and perhaps some close family members, know all of the reasons for signing for the club that they choose to join. Money is obviously one of the main reasons, but not the only one in most cases. People change jobs for many reasons and footballers are no different.

Yeh jordan was a top lad. Hes in canada now
He was a good lad. I do remember him leaving work to go to Canada. I watched him play a few times and I thought that he was quite good.

Who was your workmate
It was Jordan, he played left back. One of the games I was at was the Scottish Cup replay, with Kilwinning which turned out to be disappointing as I thought you had a good chance of going through.

The 5-1 scoreline reflected the 2ne half not the whole game. We had a bad day at the office. We weren't great in first half and we were on par with hob. The goalkeeper actually injury was self inflicted noone complained but he was injured.
You forget hill of beath were awarded 3 points by sauchie mistake
I did say originally that the Haws were the better side over the 90 minutes and that included the second half. I was actually disappointed in Camelon as they've had good teams recently and I thought that it was going to be a tighter game than it actually was. An ex-workmate of mine played for you 2 or 3 seasons ago so I went over to a few of your matches hoping to see your team win. We have differing views of yesterdays match but I beat your team no I will and hope that they do well for the rest of the season.

First half was pretty even spells for.both sides early goal second half was the killer. Goalkeeper played most of 2nd half with an injury that probably he shouldn't have played on with. Didnt think the haws were that great more how bad we were. Tranent are a far better side than hob.
Camelon are a young side and havemt played well for a few weeks.after a really good run and hopefully this will kick us into gear
There's no doubt that the 5-1 score line was a fair reflection of the gap between the two sides on the day, particularly in the second half when the home team sliced through the Camelon defence on many occasions and could and should have scored more than the 4 goals that they netted. The keeper was looking a bit jittery before his injury mis-hitting clearances out of the park on a fair few occasions, saying aloud "utter garbage" after another miskick. His injury happened right in front of us and was self inflicted. It was obvious to all of us that he was exaggerating his injury to detract from his howler that led to the Haws scoring. The haws too have a young side. It seems odd so say that Tranent are far better than the Haws considering that the latter are ahead of the former in the league having played 2 games less, it may be the case that Tranent ultimately finish above the Haws at the end of the season but it's likely that it would be by a few points only.

We were absolutely rotten today and hill of beath took full advantage. Strong hardworking side. Win their games in hand can overtake boness
Thought that the Haws were the better side throughout today. Camelon's defence was poor in the second half and they found it difficult to handle Adamson who helped himself to a second half hat-trick. Keeper had a bad day too which didn't help.

I'm gutted, looks like my 48th place will be declared null and void.
I can see how that would devestate you, or any others in the top 50
You have to wonder what type of person would start off such a top 50, definitely someone who would surely be very high up in that 50.

Do you know what happened? He created a thread to "compile" the 50 worst posters but he didn't get to the end of it for whatever reason.

Two points dropped and the Kelty support is ready to crack on this thread.
Nah, just being a bit realistic, still think they can win it though.

I have always thought that Kelty would need to beat the Rose & BSC at least once a piece to take the league. It will very much come down to those games deciding where the title goes.
Agreed. I hope my prediction is wrong and Kelty succeed but I just thought that both teams on Friday looked that wee bit better than Kelty, but on their day they are capable of beating them both. Whatever happens I'm looking forward to those games.

The weekend's actions suggests that it will finish 1. Bonnyrigg. 2. BSC. 3. Kelty.
A factor that may impact on the above is the possibility of a fixture backlog due to cup ties, postponements.

Ah Selfie, glad you were able to afford the £3 entrance fee at the long queue at the gate. Bet you were gutted with the final result. A bad start to the year for you and your punditary. I enjoyed my 3 p(o)Ints when I got back to Bonnyrigg and certainly had sweet dreams when I went to sleep.
Your team could also do the League a favour today by getting something out of your match at the former junior club just off the M90 in Fife. You witnessed a team that fight and battle right to the last whistle to get a result(not for the first time this season).
We know that you are a closet Rose fan and when we meet up some day I will have a gift for you(promise).
C’mon The Rose
I am a fan of that team just off the M90, but I have to say that I was very impressed by both sides last night, it was an excellent game and both teams battled hard right to the end. Kelty will have to play very, very well to take any points off either side.

Surprised a couple of 20s were not on the bench.
Important win with BSC marching on in the chasing pack.
And that was a good win for BSC as I took in the Spartans/Gala game last week and the Spartans look like they've improved from earlier in the season, they played really well and deserved their win.

Special mention fir Philp he looks like he’s moved up to a different level under Ferguson after coming back from injury , expected him to be squad player but with his form just now must be one of the first names on that team sheet
Couldn't agree more, for me he's a contender for player of the season. He's played in a variety of positions but he just gets on with it and gives 100% every game. A class player.

The keeper actually sticks out his leg in an attempt to trip up Easton, you can just see it on the highlights if you look closely.
