If the current Bo’ness United committee have allowed Christie to be unsackable then that is very concerning. I have spent today with a dose of the shits and its still preferable to watching Christie’s team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still live in the same area and Max runs a financial adviser firm about 5 minutes walk from my house. For a negotiated price I would be willing to be a proxy for BU fans and demonstrate with placards outside his place of business. For an additional fee I will periodically open the door to his firm and loudly boo and whistle at Max. That's very kind of you. Or you could open the door and offer him another job. He's done Midlothian (Bonnyrigg), West Lothian (Broxburn), East Lothian (Tranent) and us. He may still have Fife on his bucket list! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolly Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I’ve had a go in the past about people posting negative comments about the club but I’m now joining them. That East Kilbride side yesterday have been struggling of late but they turned us over. We had outstanding performances from Musa and McArthur which kept the score down, it could have easily finished 5 or 6. We were ok the 1st half but completely overrun in the 2nd. Not only can we not score goals but the midfield never laid glove on them, not a tackle, never won a second ball and were totally outplayed by the two slightly overweight EK centre mids. If we can’t win the ball, how do we create and actually score some goals. Locke roasted and wasted at right back, Jacobs out on loan, Gemmell warming the bench for 90 minutes contributed to a performance more suited to relegation rather than climbing the league. If the manager is still in charge and puts out yesterday’s formation and tactics against the Rose, we are in for a pumping. Awful !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seenitall Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Interesting stats when you look at league , Rangers B top having conceded more goals than BU and Celtic B only conceded one less . That tells us the problem isn’t so much with the defence even though we have sold quite a few goals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then though the win rate has reduced and although sacking the manager and getting rid of all the players is not a practical solution there clearly needs to be some sort of change to improve the situation on the park.

Deanburn Dave Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Jamie Penker. Should the BU's try and secure a longer stay ? He hasn't shown much....but then he has hardly had the ball played to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger problems to sort out Dave,but Penker has proved he can score goals in the Lowland League.Would think Spartans FC will want to keep hold of him.

Yes he managed to get a tune out of the old squad but majority of replacements have been pretty poor. Some players signed looked good but for some reason he got rid of them, Carstairs and Watt for example and the continual changes from game to game is hard to understand. Time for a freshening up in management. The players are not all bad, just need better guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
