Hope you’re keeping well newky.
Been along time since your team first visited kpark in what was our very first home game at this level.
No sour grapes at all pal. The ground hasn’t changed much since your first visit with the exception of the added stand behind the goal. Matchday experince could be a hell of a lot better. Problem is its deemed good enough for this level and wont change untill we move up the leagues. (If we ever manage that)I wasnt there today so never got the chance to see how yous are looking. But for old times sake, get it up yeh!!
Best of luck for the rest of the season mate.
Couldn't get behind goals today there was a minor few there right enough but the rest of your stand,as i stated views similar to Heriot Watt, Meadowbank and now i mention it Dunbar have a fine new set up. I was left by the hot dog stall wi a few others.
I'm sure you'll manage it this year yer team looked good without getting out 1st gear.
On another note we maybes were small in numbers but had a decent day at the sports hub boosting their coffers.

Hello John Auld pal .
Thank you for todays pumping (expected).
From a sour grapes of point of view I think yer ground is a mix of Heriot Watt and Meadowbank and that's been a few years for yourselves to improve.
One sides grounds won't work for your ambitions.
Best wishes by the way.

No idea why you think this adds anything to a Bo'ness United thread. Another 3-0 victory over Darvel would do nicely like in the game I remember watching what is scarily close to 50 years ago now. Maybe part of the problem with dwindling interest in the club is that you almost have to be the wrong side of 50 to properly remember even the Ballieston final. A cup run and ideally doing something like what Darvel did to Aberdeen would be just what the doctor ordered to provide some new memories up there with those games.
You've derailed loads threads
Aye can mind that Baillieston final Ibrox wi all the different coloured seats if I mind right.

Can almost predict who is going to get worked up by something like that. Perhaps worth bearing in mind that in Bo'ness United's case the past in terms of the other Scottish Cup still provides memories that are well worth savouring including a victorious final at Hampden against Darvel.
Worked up obviously got to you enough to reply though.
You are stuck in the past you've been told that by numerous posters on here but lets not get in the way of any facts.

The Scottish Gas men's Scottish Cup to give it its proper title !!
Indeed was nae having a go at you personally just calling it big Scottish does seem a term of the past.

A good run in the Big Scottish brings in some much needed cash. A home tie is good but I would have preferred avoiding Darvel.
I thought ye were past all that why do folk persist on calling it the big Scottish it is simply THE Scottish Cup.

The Whitehill boys left at 9.15 in the team bus and understandably drink was taken, i.e. a good few were pished.
Harsh the vociferous support was appreciated by the welcoming hosts and was proved by the players appreciation on the journey back.

A problem I see, fully expect to get slaughtered for this, is a number of games I've seen Creetown at in the league this season have not been competitive. Almost like training matches; defence v attack, so when they need to be competitive in a match like yesterday they can struggle to find the extra levels needed to bee able to hold onto a lead in a circumstance they found themselves in at half time. I've said a few times the gap between top and bottom in SOSFL is very noticeable and increasing. What is the path forward for our South clubs at all their levels.
Anyway heard you all had a good time at Lochar Inn.
Yes a place I'd recommend excellent soup and sandwiches

How many times have you looked back on a game and thought if only things had happened this way instead of that it could have been different.
See Creetown a good bit and for me they are invested in the pyramid and all it offers. A club on the up!
I expected a more difficult game yesterday though. After a stuttering start WW were by far superior in the end and could've won by more.

Morning after the night before as they say.
6 SOSFL teams entered the Scottish this season and after 2 Preliminary Rounds we are left with one representative.
NS and Creetown are waking up this morning with that feeling of what might have been. Have witnessed both teams improvement from preseason into the actual season. Use that disappointment and feeling of possible injustice from yesterday to drive on for the rest of this season and being ready to show their worth in next season's Scottish.
Is this the level we in the SOSFL are happy for our clubs to be at. I'm more impressed by the reaction from NS and Creetown, hopefully they will use the 'anger' from yesterday to better themselves.
I realise I am not a traditional south fan, but believe me I want to see the south clubs flourish and be a positive contributor in the pyramid.
Injustice for Creetown!
Great wee hospitable welcoming club.
In the end they were outclassed by a team supposed to be a tier below.
However its not their fault the pyramid system in Scotland is so lop sided.

Creetown result baffles me.
Why ?
The difference in quality was there yet they're (supposed) to be a tier above EoSFL 1st division.
It's not their fault the pyramid is so lopsided and that includes the Highlands.
Back on topic and looking forward to the draw tonight for the 1st time in years.

Creetown were making history yesterday in their biggest ever game in gaining a licence for the Scottish Cup so was always going to be a difficult tie.
Was a game of 2 halves as much as the 1st half was fairly tight it was Creetown who went in at the break 1-0 up through a debatable penalty decision. WW came through the 2nd half in convincing style to finish the game off at 3-1.
Credit to the Creetown committee who made us feel more than welcome and were very hospitable.

Sold oot so a good wee earner for the club considering how difficult it is for clubs to get revenue nowadays.

You're the Whitehill chairman you should be even more embarrassed
Talking of embarrassments have Penicuik ever lost 9 0 before in their history ?
15 goals conceded in 2 games isn't good reading either.
What is going on ?

So was presented to Gala from WW?
Nothing to do with WW then.
The red and black one is through the back of the social club.

Nae pleasing some folk, nae wonder eh?
Aye it's a guid idea to send a team on a 160 mile round trip midweek.
If only there was another option, oh wait there is, plenty of teams closer to Sanquhar than Newton, but we'll just ignore that fact.
Have a wee look at the West midweek fixtures, at least the bloke tries to keep it as local as possible for the teams.
I was a bit like you on this,maybe years ago e.g ww to Kinnoull there would be a case but not now.
Scottish non league fitba has become more professional the past few years.
