Good quality match in terrible conditions at times but adds to the atmosphere in enclosure . Thought CSS we’re a good young side who played well with no malice in their play , good to watch , credit to them . Good display by officials too. Heard a ground hopper say at end that he “ thoroughly enjoyed that and would like to come back “. Also said “ What a lovely little ground “ so credit to NPA too , all good to hear . All positives last night and Dev back as well . Onwards and upwards . ps , What a goal from Nick . The ground hoppers like the traditional grounds. Newtown even though has the astro down still has the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Jamie Allan had chances to impress at the BU's but never really delivered. He is athletic and has a burst of speed but I thought his passing, positioning and awareness were all poor. He is young enough to improve though and maybe a move to the wee rose will see him improve his game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst loan players are ok as a stop gap we need a couple of signings to add to the squad with Zander out long term and no news of Tom Grants recovery on the horizon that’s the priority IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even aware we had released him. As far as I was aware he was struggling for fitness and has barely featured the last two months or so (I'm not even sure he played a full 90 mins for us), then he started for our U20's a week ago and got red carded after 10 mins for swearing at the ref. I guess that was the final straw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Kyle Johnston listed as a sub tonight. A reliable source tells me he is a goalkeeper.Gribben a trialist.Edit:- reliable source was Feckin useless (he should hang his head in shame) . Vernon has informed the BU faithful that Kyle Johnston is a 20 year old midfielder from Stirling Albion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 35 mins. Kieran Anderson curls in a free kick from 19 yards. 1-0.3 mins earlier and Andy Murphy pulls off a brilliant save. Touched it on to the post . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 1-0 at halftime. A tad fortunate scoreline for the BU as the opponents have had plenty of chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Murphy brilliant save at the death means the BU hold on for a 1-0 victory. Great 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 The last few weeks have taken their toll and we looked very tired all over the pitch. The opponents had the bulk of the attacks and only last ditch defending and two brilliant saves kept a clean sheet for the BU's. Credit to Max Christie for shifting Stevenson to right back to counter the opposition. Allowed wee Devon to fight like a wee terrier in midfield. Going to do a SKY TV and name Kieran Anderson and Andy Murphy as joint MOTM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
