seenitall Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Think the SFA should be bringing common sense training in for referees . Yesterday the fact that a referee was inspecting at 11 suggested that there was some doubt . To pass it knowing the forecast was bad just beggars belief . All he did was cost the club and supporters time and money . An absolute shambles . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Have to wonder if/when Broomhill knew there would be a second check and allow fans to know before arriving at the ground. To have it come out of the blue is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretna have made a decent start and appear to have made some backroom changes as well as bringing in some new players so a good game in the offing and hopefully a BU win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 A few BU fans spotted queuing at Newtown tonight for the Parasites v Kilwinning Rangers Scottish Cup preliminary round 2 game . 1-0 to Parasites after Ross Nimmo scored on 41 mins... ...Mon the Buffs !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 I saw a grounhopper in the queue. He was desperate to grab a pin badge and a copy of Athletics first ever match programme !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams play out of the same stadium, have Bo’ness in their name. I’ll leave this one there though, it’s clearly a sore point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a United fan I’d be terrified to play them. Watched the game tonight and they some really great stuff if I’m honest, they destroyed east Stirling in pre season(despite it being pre season it’s still impressive), and we’ve recently just lost a cup game to a team a league below and got blown away by every west team we faced in pre season whilst they’ve gone and knocked out two west teams from the Scottish cup comfortably.Wouldn’t be so one sided as I think some United fans would assume. Would defo be a cracker! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Looking forward to today's game, cracking weather for it and Gretna a different kettle of fish this year compared to previous. Athletic are a good side, the money they're spending you'd expect that and I've no doubt they'd be right up for the battle. Doesn't change that they have about 6 fans and no-one in Bo'ness other than the supporters club of a dead football team care about them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few bonessers see it as a home game every week I was hearing. Is there a noticeable decrease in united away support ? No supporters club ? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should give the party line response on that suggestion of "no chance"....... .BUT Athletic have a track record of improving their squad while selling on some quality players for good money. They also appear to have finances and generous sponsors, a vision of where they want to be and some hard working driven characters at the helm. Athletic have the mindset and resources to move upwards. I feel that Bo'ness United just now have decided to drift aimlessly in the middle of the Lowland League. Happy to be there, playing in the cups and surviving on Treasure Chest money. BUT the BU's can get their mojo back and that starts on the pitch. Better performances, better results and progression in the cups and up the Lowland League will see brighter days at the BU's. My gut feeling is in 5 years the BU's will still be tier 5 and Athletic will be up in tier 6. Mon the BU's !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
