All the best to Edinburgh Uni in the EOS next season, enjoyed my visits there

they got me good there to be fair lol

EK celebrating their league win with another signing? Farcical club. The transfer window is going to utterly wreck their season next year if they do manage to go up

BOO!

totally gutted to not be making the Hearts B game, had it in my mind as Saturday but with in on the Friday I cant make it up in time from England. In general really sad at the lack of BU games I've managed, will need to make sure to get up more often next season, cant be missing out on the Hunterbaw renaissance

Oh its absolutely not a Tranent specific issue, just stating my genuine gratitude to the fact that their officials are actually responding to instances like this in the correct manner, rather than how they did in the past.

only 6 centre backs? The hardship! Poor EK!

Even if we didnt manage a top 4 finish as a first time management team coming in after the farcial exit of Ian Little leaving us totally in the lurch, the work Hunts and Michael have done to build a trong team unit really is remarkable. They have totally rejuvenated the team to a level not seen since Max Christies first season with us in the EOS. By the nature of their budget Gary Jardine is always stiff competition for best manager with how well he does with CSS but this season Hunts and Michael have been the absolute stand outs

MK talking about Bo'ness having nothing to play for like we're not in a 4 way battle for the league cup spot. Then again when you've only ever managed at places where you can make signings willy nilly and don't need to care about finances its no surprise hes ignorant of that fact

"Never a penalty" "Bo;ness had nothing to play for" Mikey is raging

Tranent and Colts drew 2-2 as well. Massive couple results for us

That descriptor is completely accurate. Their entire existence as a "Bo'ness" team has been parasitical, weaselling their way into Newtown Park, trying to use our name when going senior, keeping an almost identical badge and totally identical kits, theres absolutely nothing genuine about them

They claimed they never had ambitions to become a senior club and that they would act as a bridge between the community club and the BUs, this was a lie. They then tried to register themselves as Bo'ness United Juniors when going senior and went to the press crying foul when Bo'ness rightly said they weren't allowed to do that. THey're a vanity project for a couple folk with money and the lack of uptake clearly shows as much. Theyre pretty much the exact same story as what Broomhill did with BSC Glasgow, the sooner they dissapear back into the ammys and over to Linlithgow again the better

Have you been reading this thread? Being in 3rd at this point of the season was never expected considering the circumstances that Hunts came in and absolutely no one thinks we should be doing better. The basically unanimous view is that we're a large non-league team who in a more financially balanced situation MIGHT be able to challenge for the league, nothing more. You're merger idea was a stupid thing to bring up when no one wants it, and you've continued digging that hole while fighting shadows. I dont think theres anyone in this thread or the club in general who is upset at how this season has gone or who has outsized expectations like you're trying to suggest here. If the parasites money man had been finding success amongst the younger generation of Bo'nessians then they wouldnt be turning up to see the BU and the parasites support would be much larger by now, that has not happened and our dip in support has everything to do with the negative football on display for an extended period before the new management came in, it will take time to rebuild that support, but with the exciting football of this season and a total overperformance, hopefully we will see that happen. The only people who seem to think that the parasites are anything more than an ego trip with some hangers on is you and the town idiot of Linlithgow

Ask him what his opinion is on Craig Napier ("referee") and if he reckons he has a grudge against hunts since he sent him off years ago in the Junior cup!

Fourth round loser compensation was £10k

It certainly seems that way, I'm sure there'll be a couple bumps in the road with Michael and Hunts being fairly new to management but the business theyve been doing since the job was thrust on them gives me a lot of confidence in both the long and short term

I think you're letting how things ended sour your view of Max's term as BU boss, he took over from a team well out of a title race under Kerrigan to a league title and the East of Scotland CUp winners, hes the reason we're in the Lowland league now and saw us through the covid years with a very old squad. In Max We Trust was a fair motto based on those years, unfortunately when it came time to replace the old heads in the squad he wasnt the man to do it and things fell apart from there, and the less said about the disgraceful behaviour of him and Little in regards to the end of last season the better.

Yet another ridiculous signing. If EK dont go up at this stage you've got to question the fairness of next campaign considering the amount theyve spent this year. I doesnt just disadvantage the rest of the LL, their resources far outstrip any HL team and whoever Team 42 turn out to be. For all of MK's chat of sporting integrity recently re: the B teams, it really is shocking how EK have conducted this campaign.

This season has seen a far lower turnover of players and less 'duds' signed than under previous managers. The smart business of getting extensions sorted early is good to see as well. Hunts and Michael have done an incredible job considering the position they came to the job from . Based on the chaos in the summer my start of season expectation was anywehre from 8th to 12th and theyve certainly blown away that prediction. The fact that in January I'm still keeping an eye on EKs results tells the whole story!

Can and will blame both, farcical move from the board, deeply stupid move from the tinpots that voted for it to happen

Award Tranent a 3-0 win or the games gone

That is an incredible statistic. Would be interesting to compare to the stats under Max. In Hunterbaw we trust!
