heedthebaa Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Absolutely brilliant today from Penicuik and Broxburn. I’ve watched the Eos during its best and recent worse times, great to see it making headlines for the right reasons again. There can’t be many ex junior supporters left that think the decisions made by their club were wrong now surely 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Absolutely more ammunition to try and get the LL to open up some more. Clear out the self serving deadwood asap for these far superior EOS teams who are still chasing only 1 promotion slot. I wouldn't say so. One off cup wins are fantastic for all involved, and hats off to both, but they can't and shouldn't be used as a measurement tool.The LL will, in time, have up to 3 relegation spots but it would be silly to use a couple if fantastic cup wins as a catalyst for that decision to be taken now.Well done to both clubs today, really pleased for them. Both have worked tirelessly hard to get where they are and deserve their moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just realised, out of the 3 EoS ties mentioned there, Broxburn must have the biggest chance of getting to the next round! Patrick Thistle and Falkirk are glamour ties for our teams. Let's hope all 3 make it through, that would be amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb advert for the EOSFL and congratulations to both Broxburn and Penicuik today (let's no forget Lithgow either) but ffs dinny turn this into another pyramid thread!! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendances: 1,289 Penicuik v Stenhousemuir 1,059 Broxburn v Cowdenbeath Penicuik Athletic 3-0 Stenhousemuir Seldom can a league side have been so ardently obliterated by opposition 29 places below in the league system. (That said perhaps it happened twice today given the Broxburn score). First half Penicuik could have gone in 4 or 5 up... both strikers missed an absolute sitter from a squared ball off the counter-attack, they totalled messed up another superb break, blazed an opportunity just wide of the left post and put a free-kick narrowly wide. Visitors forced 1 flapped save for a corner. You thought "will there be a sucker punch" but in reality a rebounded penalty, header at corner, and bursting run from right wing put the hosts 3-0 up... and they still missed a couple more gilt-edged chances. I can't recall another Stenny attempt on target. By the end of the game not only were chants of "OOOOH ROOKIE COOKIE" ringing round the ground but "EASY! EASY!" and "CAN WE PLAY YOU EVERY WEEK?". This from supporters of a side sat mid-table in tier 6, against an opponent occupying the playoff places in tier 4. In other circumstances the Stenny management should have been offering their resignation after FT... such was the humiliation meted-out in Midlothian. It brought back memories of Hawick beating us 3-2 at Shielfield. If I heard it right, a little boy in the enclosure was asking his parents why a team like that are "allowed" to play 2 levels above Penicuik when "they are so bad". Remarkable scenes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Broxburn game in some ways against a team lying second in SPFL2. For those saying it was a one off tie. Broxburn have twice outplayed Cowdenbeath and also beaten two LL teams this season. The EOS Premier have a lot of decent sides at the moment and any one of 5/6 teams could come up this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its more coming to the defence of LL clubs than knocking Broxburn or any of the other non-SPFL sides achievements. The LL, especially at the bottom, gets the brunt of negative commentary. People point to the likes of Hawick RAU and Preston Athletic falling away. Yet its not like East Stirlingshire or Berwick Rangers have exactly excelled either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'e going to see Broxburn in a cup draw with the biggest clubs in Scotland. Really pleased for you all, Broxburn have earned everything they've got. Although I was disappointed when we lost 4-3 at Albyn Park last season - a match that effectively cost us a shot at promotion - there was no shame in losing to such a hard-working, well-organised and united team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 For those of historical bent - this is the best performance by the East of Scotland League in the Scottish Cup since 2008-09 when Dalbeattie, Edinburgh City, Spartans and Vale of Leithen reached R3. Spartans actually went on to make R4. (Of course this was pre-LL). Other occasions when 3 or more EOSL clubs have reached round before Last 32 are: 1927-28 ... Berwick, Civil Service, Leith Ams 1928-29 ... Berwick, Civil Service Edinburgh City, Murrayfield 1929-30 ... Bathgate, Civil Service, Leith Ams, Murrayfield, Vale of Leithen 1930-31 ... Bathgate, Peebles, Vale of Leithen 1934-35 ... Berwick, Chirnside, Peebles 1935-36 ... Berwick, Chirnside, Peebles 1936-37 ... Duns, Murrayfield, Peebles 1937-38 ... Chirnside, Penicuik, Vale of Leithen 1938-39 ... Berwick, Bo'ness, Duns, Penicuik 1951-52 ... Duns, Eyemouth, Peebles 1953-54 ... Coldstream, Duns, Peebles 1957-58 ... Chirnside, Eyemouth, Peebles, Vale of Leithen 1958-59 ... Coldstream, Eyemouth, Peebles 1960-61 ... Duns, Gala, Peebles 1961-62 ... Eyemouth, Gala, Vale of Leithen 1962-63 ...

Blowin In the Wind Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Good luck to all three EoSFL teams in the big Scottish this weekend. Hopefully at least one can pull off a “surprise” result and draw one of the big boys from the SPFL in the 4th round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
