Rooster’s attempt to crock him must’ve been too feeble to achieve what he hoped. They are pathetic and Rooster is a pathetic little shitebag. Maybe his nickname should be changed to 'Roaster'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Remember, he was out of the game for four years. The first one wasn't groin but a tight hammy. This time it popped severely.You were next to me when McCormack came off in the first game and indicated to young Emma the physio that it was his groin. She was working away on it for ages !! #Chancer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts he behaved like a roaster in Fisons a night during his brief stint with Bo’ness. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Bo'ness United 2 Gala Fairydean 2. The BU's were dominant in possession but wasteful and it was a shocker to go behind not once but twice. The BU's then equalised through a mystery penalty when the referee saw something nobody else saw. After that it was harem scarem stuff for the BU's defence as they tried to get a winner while taking risks at the back. Truth be told in the last 10 minutes we were as likely to get zero points as 3 points.Disappointing result and there's plenty of room for improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance after chance missed in the first half then we go one down to poor defending. We equalise before halftime. Then settled back down to watch us win the game in the second half, what a disappointment that was. Gala went back in front but Zander scored what as you said was a mystery penalty. Our back four was posted missing several times in the last 20 minutes and only some desperate defending kept us from a defeat. Of course we created several chances but we do not have the killer touch when they arrive. To be honest there looks no shape to the back four and the midfield don’t seem to be a unit. Over to you Max, you’ve got a big job on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boness4ever Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 A fluke goal and a mystery penalty,too many wasteful moments and a defence all over the place most of the game,we need to improve big time,and our lack of a back up keeper almost bit us really hard as I thought the yellow card for Murphy was kind.

From the opposite end of the park it looked to me like a Gala player was pulling or holding a BU shirt and was spoken to. Then once play resumed, he pulled or held a BU shirt and the penalty was given. Unsure if anyone ITK on here can confirm? 40 minutes ago, boheesian said: There sure is a lot of room for improvement.

The lack of a proper pre-season certainly won’t have helped either. However, there were some promising signs.

MOTM Craig Comrie I was stood right in line with the Andy Murphy incident and even the yellow card he received was an absolute joke, as per the reaction from everyone down in the corner at the Kinneil end. Andy won the ball, clean and fair, booting it off the Gala player whose momentum caused him to collide with Andy. A crap call by the referee who would have only seen it from behind the Gala forward and a decision a linesman capable of keeping up with play could’ve helped the referee with. Been a long time since I’ve seen a linesman so consistently fail to keep up with play. The amount of times Gala got through on the BU goal due to him being miles behind play in the second half was absolutely ridiculous.

Ok the linesman was behind the play but the back four were sometimes the back two. Keep your shape at the back and you won’t have to worry about a linesman. I’ll give you the point about shortage of game time preseason and the nucleus of new players coming in but continue missing the chances we had last night could come back and bite us on the arse. There are harder games in front of us so we need to get the shape of the team right and put the scoring opportunities away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True about the back four being the back two and also about missing chances but the squad have got to be given time to gel we can't be overly critical yet. @Sure & Stedfast Did you have something you wanted to add to the discussion? I had a notification that you'd quoted one of my posts last night. Should I just presume that as you deleted it it was just some snide drivel?

Deanburn Dave Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Watched BU assistant coach Blair Munn on Facebook talking about the game. In summary:- great bunch of lads, working on their fitness and happy with the effort were the positives. Soft goals the negative . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Forgot to add to my post last night - Was told big Hunts has the ‘rona and that’s why he was missing. Wish him a speedy recovery. Missed him badly at set pieces and in defence. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flabbergasted by the negativity at this post ! the back four are all new players, these need time and games with the covid probs re preseason, players who haven’t played for over 6 months, missing a couple of really good looking signings due to injury. We played some really good stuff and should have been goals up in first half, hardly a big job on his hands ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of experience on the field but I didn’t hear a lot when things were going wrong. We will have had training sessions where defensive and midfield tactics will have been discussed surely. Yes we have kicked of the season undercooked but Max has still got to get what he wants instilled into the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Boheesian- glass half emptyBU loyal - glass half fullYou both make decent points and call it as you see it. I am convinced that this team will improve as they play more games. Once the players know how their new teammates play they will make more chances.
