Ayr very fortunate to get a replay. Afternoon kickoff on the tuesday before christmas and the streetlights were on for the last 15 minutes. The video below doesn't do it justice (I had the camera gain and brightness cranked all the way up!) I think it was the 6th attempt to get the game played on Lochee's bowling green. (Not to criticise Lochee as thet were fun hosts!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harthill are essentially promoted: allowing for GD they just need 1pt v West Calder or lowly Livingston Utd, even if Stoneyburn were to restore winning streak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Absolute Imposter Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Was has happened at Livingston; since the Goidwillie debacle and the subsequent resignations of that coaching team, they have won approx 1 game in a year and a half. If memory serves they were 3rd and unbeaten in League till then. Now they are the whipping boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Stoneyburn 4 Linton 0 Paid my first visit to Beechwood Park and received a very warm welcome. It was good to hear about the improvements that have been made on and off the pitch and to see the work that is ongoing at the ground. Stoneyburn dominated the first half and should have scored more. They played some really good football. With Linton going in at half time a man down(should have been two) I feared the worst. However they were on top for the first twenty minutes but couldn’t score and eventually Stoneyburn put the game to bed. A very enjoyable evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 You really just can't beat the scenery you get at some of these smaller grounds. So picturesque. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The real winner may have been the fog... but Fauldhouse and Hawick served up a pretty decent end of season game tonight. Finished a 2-1 win for Fauldhouse, with both sides scoring 1 incredible goal each. Fauldhouse were just about on top throughout the game, so deserved the win, but a couple of dodgy offside calls and one "how did he not score" kept the score tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi QP here, Saw them a few months ago and I didn't think they were as bad as their league performance conveys. Seemed to lack belief though and heads dropped easily. I think maybe a little bit of quality would go a long way it could break the losing habit and get a bit of belief and positivity back.

I watched them quite a bit in their first season in EOSFL, started well some remember a game at Armadale 3 up and cruising then keeper sent off but held on for 3-2. A well disciplined team that defied the odds a bit that season finished 5th I think behind the money teams. Last season again started well, although was not able to attend any games, but after the Goodwillie debacle and Stuart leaving the club not been able to get a result anywhere. Sad to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlogtastic Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I’ve only just started going around the Scottish teams now as I’m an ex junior player. visiting some old and new grounds. this season has been a good one for twists and turns. West calder, Bathgate and harthill have been great to watch and deservedly going up. hawick, fauldhouse and Pumpherston have also been good for the highs and lows to of football. stoneyburn been very entertaining to watch with a great bunch of young players. lochgelly Albert have been the big improvers for me, they’ve took time at the start of the season to adapt to life in the third division but got going now. Will be a team to watch next year. Edinburgh community have struggled since the departure of their manager and I hope they can bounce back while rebuilding. linton the new kid on the block are finding their feet still. Chris will be looking to use his knowledge around the game to help them continue to build on what they’ve started and big game tomorrow with a bottom of the barrel clash with Livingston. (game of the weekend which I’ll attend) livingston haven’t had a great season, especially having not won a game until the new manager Colin has come in. was at their game last night against harthill. they’ve brought in a lot of young players and are rebuilding as much as they can having picked up 4 points with 2 games to go and should have beaten harthill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlogtastic Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Stoneyburn 3-0 Fauldhouse Great local derby game to take in on a Monday night. old school tackles, little bits off the ball and 2 good goals from the stoneyburn centre half!! 2 free kicks, one from distance high into the top corner. fauldhouse had chances but just couldn’t capitalise, (all about goals this game) Well done to both teams this season, hope to see a few more derbies like that next season. man of the match was the stoneyburn centre half for me with his fantastic free kick. stoneyburn have 1 game remaining and it’s the last game in the third division this season as they look for another bumper crowd against Livingston utd who have 4 points in their last two games, stoneyburn having 6 points in their last two games. seems to be a good relationship between the two teams going off stoneyburns social media posts regarding the last time to two teams met at station park when stoneyburn ran out 4-1 winners.
