Blowin In the Wind Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 What a great day for Broxburn yesterday and roll on the big cup draw today. Started off in whirlwind fashion with two early goals and looked like the contest would be over after 20 minutes. Very cool finish by Zander Miller for the first and a clinical finish for the penalty. The penalty was a bit soft but definitely contact and the correct decision. Credit to the Shire for not folding and working their way back into the game. Deserved to pull a goal back before halftime. Great free kick from their MoTM (No.8) who was excellent all match. Second half was a bit backs to the wall as Shire pressed forward. Some good defending and a wee bit of luck kept Broxburn in front until the last few minutes when the Shire grabbed a well deserved equaliser. Great credit to Broxburn and in particular to MoTM Zander for not giving up and getting the winner in added time. So pleased for the lad who has struggled for goals since last November but never gives up and always gives 100% for his teammates. What a day to come good. Great entertainment for £6 and would love to see more crowds like yesterday. Probably helped by the weather and Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Rangers all playing Sunday. Can say what you like about the pitch but in the last 4 big games at the Albyn (Lithgae, Jeanfield, Bonnyrigg and the Shire) have produced 22 goals and 3 very late winners. Hoping for a nice wee trip to the Highlands before Winter sets in but suspect the Team and Committee would love a home draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 What was great about yesterday was the massive Broxburn support seen the side win. Too many times in the past we set ourselves up in a big game and don't do well. Hopefully the crowd can keep growing. It felt like we won the Scottish Cup at the end lol. Well done Zander on motm and well done all the team, staff and committee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimmo's Notes Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Looked like a great crowd yesterday and a fantastic spectacle for any neutral, of which there were a few. Shire should probably have settled for the draw but went all or nothing at the end. Rodgers looked to be wrongly judged offside when bundling the ball over the line, then it was his blocked shot which resulted in the break upfield, leading to the winner. That's Cup tie fitba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also at Albyn Park for a match v Carnoustie which finished 3 apiece. My only other visit was v Camelon last season and finsihed 0-1 - felt short changed that day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always look at the defenders reaction in these cases and he didn’t complain. Thought it was a good save rather than a poor penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 i wasn't at the game tonight, glad to see if finished Dunbar 1 Broxburn 3. Apparently we where 1-0 down at half-time. Always tough at Dunbar, I could see us slipping up here with the travelling midweek and the M8 being shut at the bypass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game changed on a straight red card for Dunbar on about 40 mins. Dunbar were, up till that point, the better side on the night. Absolute stupidity as it looked like handbags no more but the lad raised his hands. Referee had no option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip fair summary-Broxburn really struggled up to that point. Hey-ho a win is a win and 3 useful points. Onto a tough game against HoB on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albynpark Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Dunbar 1 Broxburn 2. Never seen the other midweek Dunbar game, but we where definitely the better team. Should of been a few more Broxburn goals. Cammie was the star of the show for me. Bring on Cowdenbeath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on Cowdenbeath Yes the game yesterday was a lot more comfortable. Should have been 3/4 up before Dunbar pulled one back. I can see why Dunbar struggle with results due to indiscipline. Another player sent off just after getting back into it. Its a pity because they are a very decent team but they will need to keep 11 on the park to get results in the EOS Premier as there are no easy games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxburn superior on the day and 2-1 probably flattered Dunbar. I agree with the discipline part. Always difficult going down to ten, especially against top opposition. However, I thought both yellows were harsh! Second challenge I felt he won the ball. Would it have made much difference? Who knows?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have made much difference? Who knows?! I was too far away from it to see what happened clearly so can’t really argue either way. What I will say is that these days if you follow through with a tackle you are likely to pick up a booking even if you get some of the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hopefully a decent away following will head for Cowdenbeath on Saturday? Historic moment for the club visiting SPFL opposition in Scottish Cup R2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect at least 200? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kinds of rumours about number of coaches (have heard as many as 5 including the team coach) but I’d expect around 250 to travel if the weather is half decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
