Easthouses 3 - 0 HawickRA

No team really started but easthouses took the lead just before half time when a corner was swung in which came of the face of a hawick midfielder.

Half time ( 1-0 )

into the second half easthouses doubled their lead when a shot was saved by the hawick keeper but an easthouses striker was soon too follow up too slot in the corner. Hawick struggled to get into the second half but created some good chances but couldnt find the back of the net. With 5 minutes too go a ball was swung in from the left which found the head of an easthouses player and found the back of the net to put the icing on the cake. Hawick played some good football and are improving,a few new trailists played which showed up well for the manager.

Full time ( 3 - 0)

Were any of the trialists from Hawick?

Eyemouth vs Kelso lasted about ten minutes

Kelso lad fell after a challenge and looked to have dislocated his shoulder, it was only a few yards from the side of the pitch but for some reason he was left in that position until the ambulance came 20 or so minutes later. think the ref must've been worried that it would get dark by the end of the game so it was abandoned.

It was made quite obvious and was clear to all that Kelso didn't want the match to continue! The young lad should have been moved off the pitch and into the warmth, ridiculous having a game abandoned due to such a trivial injury, I think most of the Kelso team thought they were still at the bowling club and didn't want to risk injury to their ageing backs by moving the lad! The whole club should be embarrassed......bloody ludicrous!

I wouldn't say they tired. Both teams were going at it for 90+ minutes. A mixture of poor refereeing and bad luck cost them the game.

The park slowed the game down and the wind didn't help.

Cleen sheet you have made my morning mate, just one wee question though, why would Kelso utd want the game called off after6 mins with the score 0-0 ? U might have had an argument if Kelso were 1 or 2 nill down but not with the score at 0-0, it was the refs call to abandon the game, Eyemouth are no superstars so stop kidding yourself on, Cheers though for the giggle this morning.

[jeckwithesneck]

Glad you've stated this bellend. Something that's really puggled me was why would a team want the game abandoned at 0-0 ?? Can u answer this clean shit ??? What made it so obvious ?? Unless u come back saying the Kelso players management comittee (who am even surprised bothered to turn up over there obvious fear of a team they beat 8-0 last season) ran up to the ref and demanded it cancelled I fear your living in cloud cuckoo land

The lad needed an ambulance for christ sake. Do you know how bad the injury was? You can't just drag him to the side of the park and continue playing!!
Your comment is embarrassing tbh.

Wasn't at the game, but do referees not roughly follow a 30 minute rule? That is to say, if the game is held up for more than half an hour due to a players injury, then it's abandoned? Obviously common sense is applied and with the danger of failing light, the referee was probably right to call a halt. And thank you Dr Clean Sheet for your diagnosis that it was a 'trivial injury'. The safety of an injured player must be paramount and finishing a game of football pales into insignificance when someone is seriously hurt. Attempting to move the player off the pitch could have caused further damage, so Kelso have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Bad luck ?? What was bad luck !
I agree about penalty, lothian's second goal was good cross, good finish ! The 3rd good corner, good header come handball !
Both teams had to play with the wind and sun but Lothian handled it better.

The penalty decision and the 3rd goal if it came of the boys hand was bad luck on Whitehill's part. He even discussed it with his linesman/boy and still gave the penalty even though it clearly struck a Lothian player. This gave Lothian a bit of belief and they done well and from then on it was a battle on a very heavy park on a very windy day.

Game kicked off at 2pm and was called to a halt when the player went down at 2:06 once the ref heard that a ambulance had to be called he said to both dug outs that he would give it until 2:30 or the game would be called off, the ambulance turned up at 2:25 and the player wasn't moved untill after 2:30, the ref done the right thing in this case.

I was at the game and may I start by saying that the Kelso boy took a fall and landed on a straight arm which can often dislocate a shoulder or break a collar bone, it was immediately obvious that he had done something very painful as he was rolling about waving his arm to get attention. The lad was immediately seen to by coaching staff who made him lie still whilst they administered first aid. However...

1. The lad was clearly moving both legs, arms and feet quite freely.

2. He tried on two occasions I saw to sit up and was told to stay lying down by coaches.

3. Coaches lifted his head up to put a pillow under it.

The three facts above, especially number 3, quite clearly show that the coaching staff had no worries about the lad's neck.

In view of this there was no reason that the player could not have been moved to a seat in the warmth of either dressing room or dugout to allow the game to continue. Indeed the first thing the ambulance guy said when they arrived was "What is he doing still lying here, he will freeze"

No one is suggesting a faked injury.

No one is questioning the referee calling off the game because his hands are tied, he cannot order a player to be moved and he made it clear that he would give it untill 2.30 due to the light conditions, which he did, and at 4.00 that afternoon playing football would have been inadvisable without floodlights.

The question only revolves around the Kelso coaching staff insisting on leaving the lad on the pitch and indeed whether he actually required an ambulance or whether a lift to the BGH would have sufficed. I was told the lad has a history of dislocating that shoulder and as I said he tried to get up twice!

Can we assume that as a gesture of goodwill, Kelso will leave their top scorer who was unavailable on Saturday out of the squad for the re-arranged fixture? This would remove any lingering doubt as to whether Kelso were 'at it' on Saturday.

What a ridiculous post this is, at the end of the day the lad will now be off work for a period off time because hes dislocated his shoulder playing football !! To suggest Kelso might have been "at it "beggars belief in my opinion, Nobody could be certain what the lad had done for certain and yes maybe putting a pillow under his head was the wrong thing to do but come on we're all amateurs trying to play a game on a Saturday and if your living comes under threat because of injury then thats the real issue NOT a game having to be replayed.

its you that should be embaresed wi a post like that ya nugget,we tried to move the lad after the incident but he couldn move his arm or shoulder so ambulance was called an we were informed not to move him until ambulance arrived,ref gave it till 2,30 to get game on again but that passed so game was called off so dont see out of that how kelso didnt want match to continue after all we now have to go back to eyemouth again.
