I’m not sure you can say they weren’t good enough That was hilarious though. Not true. It may have cost them promotion, it didn't cost them the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basile Boli Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 They’ll probably still do well next year, you’d imagine looking to win the league. But it’s a case of how do they replace a 70 goal striker and I’m assuming the lad Paterson will be away back to Arbroath too? Surely his development will be massively hindered by spending another year at that level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different story this year but how will they fair next season with 2 of the front 3 moving on ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a team going places Hopefully Armadale can follow them as their improvements off the park over the last year or so have been nothing short of spectacular and have managed to keep a very loyal and supportive (most of the time!) crowd which the others around them seems to have lost recently Some set up at volunteer park The club and all involved should be proud of the spectacular improvements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Are Armadale promoted now with 3 going up and Edinburgh College and West Calder still having to play each other? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Yes, given there are 36 games, and Edinburgh College and West Calder can't both reach 66 points due to playing each other in one of the remaining fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with tonight's scoreline West Calder's biggest headache may be Goal Difference.

It's difficult to suddenly start scoring extra goals. We have seen that down here in SOS where Creetown weren't scoring freely and Vale were. Although it didn't count in the end it would have been a factor in Creetown's psyche. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi1977 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Took in tonight's West Calder v Bathgate match... what a thoroughly enjoyable match it was. 2-1 win in the end for West Calder, but Bathgate were unlucky not to get anything from the game... outstanding performance by them considering they have nothing left to play for, so full marks for the attitude shown. Tremendous entertainment and value for money... both sides hit the woodwork, both sides missed glorious chances and both keepers each made a couple of great saves... all for £3! Was a nice night too with wide skies, which makes it a nice, scenic wee ground... perfect wee set up for the level the side are at! Only gripe is... the people of West Calder... where were they? Almost everyone at the match was from Bathgate. West Calder are a very decent side and deserve much more interest from the locals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they managed it today, with added bonus of the scholars losing... which makes next week v Bo'ness Athletic more of a free hit than a damage limitation exercise (EDIT: since if do enter last day tied on 60pts then West Calder will have to win... College bound to have better GD).
