There are other ways to help the Club by joining the United Club, Player sponsorship, buy an extra treasure chest ticket or two. I know the club is largely run by volunteers so I want to be clear that I'm not blaming them for this, but the club could be better at advertising this stuff and how to sign up around the town and the ground. I've been heading to games for a couple years now after moving to Bo'ness and other than the Treasure Chest in Tesco I haven't seen much - I'm not on FB so I don't know if the info is available there about things like the United Club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows we are working on a very tight budget and will cut our cloth accordingly so the negative attitude would suggest an alternative motive. The club and players have never been the problem this season. Well, other than some silly avoidable player suspensions. On 17/04/2023 at 17:37, Number seven said: What are you suggesting? I support the team but I do not believe that just because a player wears a blue jersey doesn’t mean he is any good,or beyond criticism. I have no hidden agenda or anything of the sort ,so please refrain from even suggesting such nonsense. It should not take money to win the Lowland league although I appreciate it helps.Better recruitment and coaching is surely possible even on a tight budget. As I have previously said Bo’ness United have never been awash with money.Success has previously been achieved with good players.The reality is there are not enough in the current squad and resigning most of what is there is simply asking for more under achievement next season. This happy clappy way of watching a team is simply sticking your head in the sand thinking that average players are going to improve.They won’t Just because they may be great guys to talk to etc.is not what it’s about.Give me 11 arseholes who produce better football performances than have been witnessed the past two seasons any day of the week . This is where a good man manager becomes invaluable. Again, the players have never really been the problem this season. The recruitment wasn’t even the issue. It was the constant and often needless tinkering with the team. I don’t think it’s at all wild to suggest that the lack of continuity in the starting 11 is directly linked to the lack of consistency in performances and points. 4 hours ago, Auld Heid said: The big side in Bo'ness aren't backwards at promoting themselves on social media etc. Clear which team is progressing and which one regressing.

Deanburn Dave Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 The deficiencies in the BU's team were there for all to see today. No cover for the fullbacks. No creativity in the midfield. No threat up front. First half fairly even but second half we were really poor. Don't expect to see Lenny Walker in the cup games....,.looked a bad injury.
