It looked that to me as well but I'm wondering if it's a "phase" thing. It was played by the defender last but was he offside when the Rose man played the ball before that?

Serious question - do the two Bo'ness sides have different supports or do Bo'nessers generally support both and go to see whoever is at home or has the more attractive match?

Not one but two.

And he got his Arshaven there.

One win, one draw, one loss and a goal difference of plus nine. It's just a matter of spreading the goals more evenly.

Out of interest, where do you see the fine tuning? Good luck next season, by the way.

Talking of penalties, three in the first half today. I'll have to see the video to decide on each of them - I had Arsene Wenger's view of them all. Great spirit in the team today to come back from 2 down to win 3-2. Alan Docherty's perseverence to win the ball to score the second typified the spirit of the whole team. They seem to have recaptured that winning attitude which disappeared for a vital handful of games after the amazing winning run. Looks good for next season if we keep this squad together. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed all three of the recent matches against Tranent even if we threw away leads in the other two. They were all great competitive matches. Having said that, I'm glad Tranent got promotion so we won't be up against them next season for the league

Alan Docherty and Sean Heaver deserved their goals for their efforts but let's not forget what a monumental part Lewis McMinn played in keeping Gala out when they were on top. It's a great feeling to see silverware again. Let's hope the champagne is needed again next Sunday.

Agree with Heaver and Thomson and would add Allan and Docherty as guys who put in a real shift but effort isn't everything so thanks to Stowe for yet another important goal.

Another thoroughly entertaining end to end match and a draw was a fair result but what is the cause of the Rose throwing away 2 goal leads? Is it physical or mental? That's at least 3 times recently.

You can't deny Tranent their draw tonight although a last minute penalty is a bit of a sickener. What I'd like to know about our first goal though is.... If you're rounding the keeper and get brought down for a penalty, surely it's a red card? A game changer.

I was a bit concerned the number of chances Broxburn's number 9 had. If he'd finished better it would have been a different result. Still, we took ours.

It was indeed a good watch and a good result although for a while it looked like another one of those days when it just wouldn't go in. TC comes on and our fortunes change. I'm not saying it was all due to him but his cross set up the equaliser and although his penalty was saved there was no mistake with the rebound. Was it Ogilvie? That fired up the Rose and Docherty hit a beauty into the corner from long range. I've seldom seen a match where a team had so many yellow cards without a red. Did the Shire have a rota for bookings? "One each for the team".

I said the penalty was contentious but I was at the wrong end so I'll accept the decision. I'd like to see the video though.

Talking of red cards, Ruari gave the ref two opportunities after he was on a yellow which I presume is why he was subbed.
