8MileBU Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 As it's my birthday, I'm picking a big win for a change and co-incidentally it's against this week's opponents, Tranent. We go back to 1998 and a League game that finished 8-1 to the BU's. Paul McKinlay scored four that day, Eddie Hallford hit a double and Danny Crainie & Steven Bryce hit the others. The team was: N Binnie, Grant, Hoggan, Yates, Drew, Scott, Todd (More), Hallford, Crainie (Cullie), McKinlay, Bryce For today's promised teaser, we are going right back to 1953 and the old Brown Cup. The BU's were drawn away to Loanhead Mayflower but who can give the score? I'll give the answer later. Eddie Halford was a class player. Cracking left foot. I'd hoped someone would have had a guess. 9-3 to the BU?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks for the late responses. I was a little cheeky here. Loanhead were unable to raise a team so Bo'ness were given a walk-over into the next round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Right back to 1947 now and a Thornton Shield tie at home to Bonnyrigg Rose. The BU's were winners by 3-1.The team was: Stanners, W, Mitchell, Brash, Paton, Stewart, McKie, McGowan, Dickson, Anderson, Pryde, McLean and goals came from Jim McLean, John McGowan & Willie Pryde. Here's one for those who remember as far back as 2003. What peculiar series of events occurred during our 2-0 win at Whitburn?

Deanburn Dave Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Urn of soup ??? ......it's barely a cans worth. Barely enough for a growing boy like myself. No soup for me tomorrow as I will be leaving space for a Tranent steak and haggis bridie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 26th January, 2008 saw us entertain Rosyth Recreation in a League fixture and the BU's ran out convincing winners by 5-1. This was the team: R Burns, Morrison, McCafferty, Snowdon, Tully, Mullen, Mitchell (S Brown), Donnelly, Tweedie (Thornton), Scott, Mauchline. The goals came from Jon Mitchell, Ryan McCafferty, Scott Mauchline, Kevin Mullen and debutant David Thornton, who had signed from Arniston Rangers earlier that week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one for those who remember as far back as 2003. What peculiar series of events occurred during our 2-0 win at Whitburn? I have a blurry memory of this but think I’m on the right lines... Was this the game where a sub came on who then had to get subbed, then the sub who came on for the sub scored, but then had to get subbed for the last sub? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 The prize goes to 8 Mile. Graeme Donald was injured and replaced by Michael Dillon. He was then injured and Greig Hodge replaced him and he indeed scored the first goal. Greig was unlucky with injuries, to say the least and had to be replaced by Brian Kemp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...Nearly didn’t post as I started doubting myself that it was against Whitburn. Greig Hodge was a class player but was probably the unluckiest player we’ve had for injuries. Think he used to manage half a dozen games a season when he was with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he was with us between 1995 and 2003 and played fewer than 150 games Introduce yourself and you can have a steak and haggis pie (if any are left after Dave has had his fill). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 In 1968, on the 27th, Bathgate Thistle were in town for a League match but were sent packing 6-0. The team was: Crawford, McGuinness, McCandless, McMeechan, Thomson, McQueen, Bernard, McDonald, McGuire, J Sneddon, Watson. The goals came from Brian Watson, doubles by Benny McGuire and Joe McMeechan and one from Tony McCandless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
