Deanburn Dave Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Chris "Dougie" Donnelly is leaving the mighty BU's after 12 years. Journal story says Dougie (34) and Max had spoken and Dougie wasn't getting guaranteed a game next season. Dougie wants and needs to play every week so he is leaving and talking to other clubs. A great servant to the club. Always gave 100% whichever position he was playing. Never saw him lose a 50/50. Never saw him pushed off a ball irrespective of how big his opponent was. Pound for pound the strongest player in the league in my opinion.Thanks Dougie and all the best.DDp.s. sign for Lithgae and you're dead to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only echo this. 12 years is an incredible number of years at one club for a player these days. Been a massive part of the BU and wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 On the EoSFL thread there's a list of pre-season friendlies. As well as the Sauchie game there's a game listed Musselburgh v the BU's on Tuesday 29 June. Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere official but maybe I missed it.Edited to Sauchie, for some daft reason I had typed Penicuik !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not been on. lately, compiling our history is taking time!. However, two (IMO) bad things have happened lately. Firstly, the decision to invite, then allow, Rangers and Celtic, to enter teams in the LL. It's a kick in the teeth to all those clubs in the EOSL that switched over from junior with us. If they can fit in two more places, i'd rather they let in Lithgae and Tranent, which shows how much I am against this decision! At least we can be proud of our club, standing up and doing the right thing. The second bad thing is the acceptance of Bo'ness Athletic into the EOSL. When they were piggy-backing on our name, they made assurances at a meeting that they had no intention of ever being a challenge to us and were just filling the junior void. Promises of them being a feeder club to us for promising youngsters was not kept and now they are going to be competing against us. Maybe not on the field but certainly for sponsorship, fund-raising etc. I would urge all BU's fans not to part with a penny by attending their games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
