Kilbowie's Finest Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Glad you enjoyed your visit, Billy Henderson was part of our first few seasons in Junior football, he even had a spell managing us. Were you at the Bankies first ever Junior Cup game? that was over on our old ground behind the enclosure, in 2003. No.10 was Danny Campbell and he did have a good game. Thought the first half was fairly even and uneventful, but second half we got a grip of the game and ended up deserved winners. They are a big strong team, but they seem to rely too much on big diagonal balls to their front men and long throw-ins for their giants to feed off. I wonder if Callum Elliot learned that at Hearts! Their No.14 was a giant, but in this league they'll win more than they'll lose. I was at that cup game - think Brian Smillie scored for Blackburn? Missed the 4-3 replay win for Blackburn as I was in Tenerife! [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 Angry Men Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Wasn't able to make Bankies game today so headed along to watch this one today as I live just down the road. Not a great game but Blackburn were well worth the points - Edinburgh were poor and resorted to long balls for much of the game and their midfield was virtually anonymous. Thought Blackburn's #10 had a fine game.Smashing set up at New Murrayfield Park and a fantastic match day programme - well done to all involved in its production- was nice to see my old PE teacher Billy Henderson in the team photo from 80-81! All the best to Blackburn for the rest of the season! I'd probably have to agree that it wasn't a great game but that's probably down to unrealistic expectations. I witness mostly SPFL Premier League games - but this is Junior football. South Division Junior football. The games I witness at this level aren't always great, but this was a good game. In fact, very good.....and pleasingly the best team won.Like you, I live pretty close by and although I dip my toe only sporadically in the Junior pond, when I do it's mostly for a Blackburn game. With great facilities that some (most?) teams in the Region could only dream about, walking into New Murrayfield Park (Dem-master Community Stadium according to their sign?) gives a nod to the professionalism this grade should aim for but most forgo in preference to lining players pockets. It's undoubtedly a place I would happily take my kids to watch a game - and, in fact, I did with one of them on this occasion.For a period of 20 minutes or more in the second half Blackburn were better by far than anything I've seen at this level for quite some time. Can they keep it up? Well, there's the million dollar question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the 4-3 replay win for Blackburn as I was in Tenerife! It was indeed, (Brian is a big part of the Community club coaching set-up now) and the replay at Yoker I think was 2-2 going into extra time with 10 men, but we went 4-2 up with Bankies getting a third with the last kick of the ball. That was in the days we had a local radio station River FM who reported live from the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
