Who's going? Who's staying ? Where do we need replacements ? Who would we like ? It's the Johnny Nash thing - more questions than answers.

Oh! Boness4life none of this let's get rid of the management. This is a post that's meant to constructive not destructive.

IMO. we need a Left-back, Possibly 2 mid-fielders and 2 strikers. Baillie had a howler with the Rose's first goal but overall he's been ok. Graeme Guy has looked ok and might be a good addition with a pre-season under his belt. Jonathan Cooper hasn't had a run of games but doesn't look like he has anything to offer. Likewise Martin Ure, John Fraser looked good early season but tapered off towards the end possibly due to working down south. We need players who are capable of changing games for us.

Who are the players we need?

wee martin hasn't really had much game time and i think that he will come good the short time he has come on as a sub he has always managed a couple of shots on goal i agree with the rest though

it does not say "tommy coyne to boness" it says their set to make an offer and test the Rose resolve

it has been proven on amny occasions that the lazy daily record journos just rip stuff from here for
snippets and rumours to fill the paper

I just can't see Coyne coming to Bo'ness. He is under contract at Linlithgow and I saw nothing on Thursday that would indicate he wants to leave. Indeed he did the kiss badge thing that obviously means he is happy where he is

thats what i heard last year he wont go to bo'ness. erm bo'ness's ridiculous offer wouldn't even warrent a discussion. so there has been an offer has there?

From what I heard they offered £5000

maybe if you double it and then add a bit more and then a bit more again
and maybe throw in a couple of post office franchises it may even get a thought

I certainly think 5000 is a good offer (allegedly) from a junior club to a junior club.

But i must say there is no chance of this guy going to Boness, i have seen him 3 times this season against us and 3 times he has kissed the badge and certainly didnt look like a player that would swap!!!

But in terms of the offer, if true, i think its a fair one

i think 5000 is a bit low when you consider we paid 3 grand for mclaren, though its all academic as there is no way he coming to bo'ness ......... will probably be proved wrong again

[aidan-bufc]

since were talking about strikers, what do you think would be the chances of landing Craig Feroz from Rob Roy? ...he seems like a consistently striker that has proved he can find the back of the net ...

i would think a big offer would be needed if it was possible though

kenny miller kissed the rangers badge and ended up at celtic where he kissed the celtic badge and ended up back at rangers then kissed the rangers badge and ended at bursaspor in green and white hoops. my point is kissing a badge means feck all. i cant see coyne coming to bo'ness either we may have won the league two years running but we are no where near as successful as the team he is at

I think there is a few strikers we could look at, i thought the big guy up front from penicuik was a good player, strong and had a good touch, the boy bathgate form HOB, the boy johnstone from Bathgate, the boy renton from musselburgh just to name a few i have seen this season. Strong links with andy rodgers from ayr united but so are several other senior teams, but i think the management will have their ideas and i have complete faith in them both.

[Jambo'ness]

I may be in the minority but I don't want Coyne anywhere near Bo'ness. His theatrics get results at Lithgae but I don't see the refs being so kind if he was wearing a Bo'ness jersey. But that's immaterial, I just wouldn't want the lazy cheating bassa disgracing our top.

Anyway, rant over. As for suggestions of who to sign, I'm sure there will be plenty to choose from in the summer as more and more players drop out of the senior game for economic reasons.
Remember, Martin Ure was injured at the tail end of the season and shouldn't have been playing but did so for the team. A fit Ure at the start of the season will see a great improvement. I think we still have Blair Young to come back from Bathgate, don't we? He should be bigger and stronger a year down the line, so maybe some good back up there.

I think a lot hinges n our loan signings. Will Hay be with us as he is bound to be freed at Alloa. Lot of talk about Grant wanting to stay, which would be great. Also McQueen will be in limbo after the Accies went down.

It's not a good offer - it's derisory. Not worth acknowledging far less giving a formal response.

That's lucky then (and good)!!

[aidan-bufc]

the management team will probably have their ideas, and will firstly be looking at the players that are being dropped from the senior level no doubt.

thought mr roy had retired. could coyne go senior i thought he could easily but looking at him on thursday he gets ball passed to his feet he's good but he wont run for it, heard manson a couple of times calling him a lazy b*****d

He may have given up the job as secretary, but the reins I doubt it.

[aidan-bufc]

who do you think will get the player of the year awards? it could be tight between a few players

Although he wasn't here at the start of the season, I think it has to be big Stuart Hunter. His never-say-die attitude and solid defending (not to mention the odd goal or two), drove Bo'ness on in many games.

Will would have been close if it wasn't for his inability to zip it during games.
Young player award would have to go to Brian McQueen. The Accies lad was cool at the back, with both skill and pace

[monkeyblair]

Looking for a striker next season?

I think I have just the very man......

After my performance at the Over 30's tournament on Saturday I think could still do a pretty good job

I had one superb strike against the incomers and guess who got down to save it - Ronnie McPherson - still breaking BU's hearts.....

aw nobody can argue with Brian McQueen being young player of the year, but still the big one is hard for me to decide

I am with you.I 100 % don't want Tommy Coyne at Bo'ness Utd.

Bathgate From HOB be would be my 1st signing.

Anyone else heard that Bo'ness have 2 mystery backers putting money into club?

Why would you not want the best striker in the league at Boness?

Bathgate & Coyne would do me!

The 2 mystery backers are.........................Fictional.

Not fussed one way or the other about Coyne. Certainly wouldn't be paying over the odds.

Bathgate is another who dives and cheats. No thanks.

You won't get an answer to that until Wednesday. That's when the dark side of the Flints sober up from their minor celebrations. No doubt giving us the benefit of their wind and pish.
