My eyes are dry but a few of your boys tried to blacken the Burgh boys eyes this afternoon, seriously - you carry some scum in your support. I have never seen the likes in amongst any other teams.

Get over it , as i said yous done no bad yourselfs, as for your players i thought they would have learned a lessen last year about celebrating in front of the talbot support, king did it last year No6 did it today and ended up with egg on his face, will they never learn.

[musseygreen]

I spoke to a couple of Talbot fans today who were a bit arrogant but mostly they were ok.
This season and last we've played Talbot twice, Dalry twice, Kilbirnie and Beith. None of their supporters were as bad as I thought they would be. I grew up 400 yards from Easter Road and remember (70's) supporters of the ugly sisters pissing in kids play parks and attacking anyone who wasn't wearing their colours.
By comparison supporters of Junior clubs are no bad folk.
The worst thing in Junior football is keyboard hardmen on P&B.

Your right Rob I never saw any punches thrown.
You did and I know you wouldn't make it up but all teams have idiot supporters. Some teams have more idiots than others.
Unfortunately the polis always want an easy day and there was no danger of anyone being lifted today unless things got completely out of control, which fortunately they didn't.
Onwards and upwards mate. Away to Kelty next week. Can't give them their full name as it gives me the boak.

Just prior to your team scoring their third, down from the enclosure. Two or three of your mob threw punches at a Musselburgh man, attempted to point out the last one to do so but the polis were just wanting it calmed down. You carry a lot of scum from what I seen today, nae need. Never seen it from any other junior team.

[TFW]

Have to admit I'm surprised of the allegations of punches being thrown by Talbot supporters today. I didn't see anything myself, and certainly never heard anything either.
What I did see, and what certainly didn't endear him to the Talbot fans was when you went 1-0 up and the big guy behind the goal started giving the w@nker sign to the Talbot support. It also encouraged one or two others to do similar. He also gesticulated to the Talbot support about having a "square go" Hardly surprising that he got pelters back, especially after the two late Talbot goals in the first half? I'll be honest, that's all I saw at the game today. Nothing more, or nothing less, than I see at many other Junior games....but it all seemed a bit "handbags" to me.
Thought it was a decent game, and a typical no holds barred Junior Cup tie. I was also close to where the goalie went over after colliding with Latta. We all thought he was doing a dying swan act trying to even the two sides up by getting Latta sent off. Quite why the referee booked Latta I don't know as it certainly wasn't a foul. I assume the keeper injured himself either stretching to kick the ball into touch, or landing badly? Whatever it is, hope he's better soon, nobody likes to see players out long term.
Hope we get another team from the east next round, some record against them these last two seasons!

well let me tell you something just after you scored a certain individual who i believe was the goalkeepers father stood behind the goal shouting his mouth of at good loyal talbot supporter then he attemped to confront the talbot supporters so as you say nae need so thats were the animosity started , ie home side or did you no see that

I'd have no argument about the way the game went bud and we spoke to some decent Bot fans afterwards but if we never have to host your club again then we'll not miss some of the c***s that ye brought over.

[Karl Berg]

Being a neutral at this match, I was surprised at why the 4 or 5 musselburgh foks walked right up through the talbot fans. If it was to aid the injured keeper on the side touch-line why not run up the line as happens elsewhere and stay out the crowd?

[TFW]

Taken from the non league forum, and from a neutral's point of view. No mention of any problems there either?

One half (behind one goal and halfway along each touchline) is well developed with a modern covered enclosure and 4 tiers of terracing on one side and seven tiers of terracing on the other. Behind the goal at the developed end is a large brick building housing changing rooms etc and a full hard standing with some terracing. The undeveloped half comprises steep grass banking separated from the pitch by a rope. Behind the terracing on the side opposite from the enclosure is a continuation of the grass banking and it was well-populated today. <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; "><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; ">Support for the two teams was pretty even, with Talbot fans in the main on the enclosure side. <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; "><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; ">The wind was strong, but I had parked at the quayside where it was absolutely wild, so it was a relief to find that Olivebank was fairly sheltered from the worst of it. <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; "><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; ">As for the match, Musselburgh went ahead in 20 minutes. After 32 minutes a wild attempt at a clearance in the penalty area by a Burgh defender resulted in him kicking a Talbot forward on the shoulder! The referee had no hesitation in awarding the penalty and there was little dissent from the home players. The penalty kick was well-saved by the keeper but the taker scored on the follow up. The keeper went ballistic with his defenders for not having been sharp enough to prevent the follow up. <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; "><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; background-color: rgb(217, 228, 242); font-size: small; ">Two minutes later and Talbot were ahead after a scrambled goal.

With some 15 minutes to go in a tamer second half the referee, who had been over-fussy all match gave a Burgh player a straight red card for tackle which hardly looked worthy of a red. A couple of minutes later the Burgh keeper was fouled close to the touchline and not that far from the half way line(!!) and went down as if pole axed but only a yellow was shown.
