number4 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 fare enough no team are certs but from what I gather it is any 2 from 3 with Dunbar the unlikliest candidates to slip up in the runin every one I speak to from fife clubs who have seen Blackburn have said they have been fortunate to take all 3 points against them this season and have been surprised by pumphy Am sure Oakley wouldn't have said that about Blackburn [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossgstes17 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Will be very tight and obv depend on how they perform against each other but having it as tight as it is makes for a good competitive league and as previously commented will probably go to the wire pumphy and Dunbar to go up in my opinion [emoji41] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor 46 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I dont think anyone should right off Blackburn here, they have strengthened their squad bringing in the likes of Craig Young and a few others to give them a push on for the rest of the season. Im sure Mark and Jamie will have them fired up especially as they ve been the nearly men a couple of times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 We should have a fully fit squad today [apart from Darren Mitchell in goals] for almost the first time this season, Danny Campbell will be back today, he's been out since the defeat at Rosyth in September, plus Fraser Cormack is back, he has been out since, I think, the away win over Easthouses in October. A few others will have shaken off niggles they've had at various points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been at the top for a long time and have beaten both Pumphy and Dunbar and as you say, they have strengthened their squad,something Dunbar havent done .

Well, Dunbar leaked a few today and Pumphy have now scored 72 goals in in 16 league games ,a brilliant effort and they and Blackburn have now started to pull away from the rest.

You still have the two games in hand that puts you a point behind behind Pumphy and two behind Blackburn if you win them of course.And you still have us and Blackburn at NCP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumphy's goal scoring has been quite astonishing. It certainly sets up the game with Blackburn in a fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number4 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Oakley 5 craigroyston 0,First half could have went either way with us missing a few chances and craigroyston doing the same but second half we scored 2 quick goals thru Gollan and Cele then they had there centre half sent off for a last man challenge and we scored 3 more thru cammy smith and 2 from yanni .

Burnie_man Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Blackburn United 4 Easthouses Lily 0 As comfortable as it sounds, Spence opened the scoring after half an hour and Lily almost equalised but for a great save from Gavin McQuillan. Second half Blackburn dominated and two early goals from Chris Marshall and Andy McQuillan won the game with Swan finishing off the scoring which could have been more but for a couple of great saves from the Easthouses keeper.

crossgstes17 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Lochgelly 1 Crossgates 1 Late injury time penalty for the hosts earned them a draw probably Crossgates deserved the 3 points in a keenly contested game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 Angry Men Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I dont think anyone should right off Blackburn here I think you're quite correct. Mark and Jamie appear to have slowly gone about building and improving upon a squad over the past few seasons - much as Dunbar seem to have too, and Haddington before them - and their side have therefore been the nearly men of the division more than I think they'd care to have been.It must be particularly galling to see others who have struggled at the foot of the division over the years suddenly benefit from relatively healthy investment overhaul them in several of the past seasons and it may happen to them again. Perhaps, though, this will be their year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumphy_man Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Pumpherston 3 Dunbar 0 Three first half's goals from Jack Mclaren Zander Murray and Mark Wilkins gave Pumphy a well deserved win.However keeper Connor Shaw pulled off a few fantastic saves at crucial points during the game to keep a clean sheet against a team that doesn't leak many goals.A very good performance from the Pumphy boys today.Missing in action today was top scorer Ally Mcritchie who failed a late fitness test,hopefully be available next week against Crossgates at home.

The Doctor 46 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Edinburgh Utd 3 - 6 West Calder Great result for any team coming away from here with 3 points and scoring 6 goals. Never got off to a good start after going down 1 nil to the home team but the boss made a couple of changes then we started to play. In a game that had maybe a couple of bad tackles there must have been 8 or 9 guys seen the yellow card and possible Edinburgh No 5 seeing it twice! I was sure he had his name taken in the first half and again after the break but as the ref was throwing them about like a man wi 8 arms then possibly I got it wrong. Anyway a few really good performances from West Calder on a very difficult park and 3 more points. Well done guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
