A Believer Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I wonder if it's too much to expect that a thread entitled BSC would be more for discussion between BSC fans than, as it seems, attracting a vast predominance of ranting haters. All views welcome of course (to a point), but might the typical social media trend of trolling bile from the 'we're all entitled to our opinion' brigade perhaps put folks off looking for genuine discussion of THEIR teams affairs. Berwick thread's the same. Bo'ness thread has good chat; but no doubt it'll become fair game at some point for the f**ckwiteratti, largely not even supporters of SLFL clubs who's views wouldn't be missed. -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benidorm Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Westerton are a Bearsden team and have been around for years. I played against them as a kid back in the late 90s at Boclair Academy. Naewhere wants BSC lets be honest. Genuinely more value in having a weans team with a community ethos like a Westerton over this lot nevermind a genuine professional football team with a fanbase and a stadium. Dare I say when Georgie boy works his meal ticket to somewhere else will any c**t even be arsed about taking over from him to run a club with no value? Who is bankrolling this shambles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An open forum doesn't seem to be the place for you. There's clear implications for the structure and Governance of non-league football in the split between the two BSC clubs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 ...and you need to actually have some fans in the first place to be able to sustain a thread like the Bo'ness United one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of the LL cartel react that way when any "outsider" posts in this bit of the forum. They seem to think it's a closed WhatsApp group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of what exactly? No ground, no fixed catchment area, barely a club, much of the squad just hitched up and lifted wholesale to Stenhousemuir. Special K has got more of a diehard following than this joke outfit. Other than the fat loser who tried to grass Morton to the SFA for holding a friendly while his own stupid outfit couldn't play, I can't think of anyone who would be perturbed if this mob folded or were expelled from the league system tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i was posting in the BSC Glasgow thread, not the BSC Glasgow thread. I'd thought Vale of Leven and Vale of Leithen could be tricky, but at least when written down there's no confusion. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton organised a friendly between our jobber players on the fringes of the squad against some non-league outfit back in February/March time. Some fat BSC loser then went squealing all over Twitter about the injustice of his beloved franchise not being allowed to play, while The Famous were organising bounce matches against similar opposition. It just so happened that the SFA then charged the club with holding an unauthorised fixture, without any link at all of course. Outcome: the SFA gave the establishment club of Scottish football a slap on the wrist instead of the hammering by the beaks!!11!! that Keith Jackson boldly predicted, and now BSC are being rightly punished with complete Implosion.

Craig Mulholland, Stewart Robertson, the 3rd Rangers guy and the celtic ones where their names escape me. They were over the moon BSC were around to invite their kids to the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 If the actual BSC Glasgow sports club is no longer attached to the Alloa Nomads, does that have any implications for the latter's SFA license (and by extension their place in the Lowland League)? Do they still meet all of the governance criteria if they no longer have a connection to the youth system etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given there’s seems frustration about the lack of link between the boys teams and the first teams I doubt the Alloa club used coaches etc from the youth side to meet other requirements . The rat will find a way of making sure they still comply, with possible a few bits of paperwork needing minimal effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Again - how are they funded ? It must be reliant on one Or a group of individuals bank rolling them. They literally have no income stream apart from the standard SFA hand out and occasional away support.Now with no attachment to the youth club I just cannot see how they are going to be sustainable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be there anymore but when travelling into Glasgow from Singer when I lived in Clydebank, there was a Car Showroom that sat to the left of the station. No idea why it popped into my head but it was bugging me what it was as it was so unusual to see a Dealership for that brand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone now - if I'm remembering right I think where it previously stood is now an old folks' home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
