The Bluebells Are Blue

Kilbirnie 1-2 Buffs ft.

Bankies played well, & battled hard against Buffs last Saturday. Could easily have left Kilwinning with a point, if it wasn't for Carlo Monti's "wonder goal", to win it for Buffs. I recon Bankies will give Cumnock a hard game! Should be a cracker, with both teams desperate to get the 3 points.

Buffs last won the Super Premier League in season 2003/2004.Manager,Chris Strain has assembled a new, young team, with a few experienced "old heads", for this season, & their league form has surprised many. Buffs have been 'grinding out wins' in the league, & sit proudly at the top, at the moment. Can Buffs win the league this year? What's your opinion?

Got to agree! A couple of elderly Pollok fans shook my hand, & congratulated us in Buffs' win. Pollok fans also applauded Sam when he was being carried off injured. Respect!!

Slight tilt to the loan side of the thread, but glad to see former Buffs striker Ross Stewart, doing so well in the SPL with Ross County. Scoring regularly, & getting County's winner at Motherwell today! Getting tipped in today's Sun, for a Scotland call up.

Cumnock 1-2 Buffs ft.

An honest summary of the match,Bill. Buffs set about their business from the kick off, & as you said, the damage was done in the 1st half. I must congratulate Bankies & Yoker on the ground's improvements, thogh! The pitch looked excellent for an 'astroturf' surface, & the stadium had a general freshness! I must also add, the cheeseburger that I had from the snack bar, was the best I've tasted for a long time! Good luck in the coming season!

Thanks for your much appreciated opinion!

Great 9 - 0 win for Buffs against Ardeer Thistle today! As the score suggests, Buffs weren't really tested, but another excellent performance from the lads, & some great goals too.... especially the 25 yard screamer from young Chris "Gowser" McGowan!

Buffs 9 - 0 Ardeer Thistle

Kilwinning Rangers 2 - 0 Dundee North End Dundee N E rarely threatened in a match totally dominated by Buffs. The players that Chris Strain has put together, to rebuild the team, are beginning to really look the part for the coming season. The pitch looked superb, & the new Buffs Park & facilities are really shaping up. Everyone should be congratulated on all their hard work!

I echo this post by tombo! Medda were better organised than Buffs, closed us down pretty quickly, and although it's a wrench admitting it, to our closest rivals, deserved their victory. Credit where it's due though,on the massive turnaround ,and great run of results! All the best for the rest of the season guys, and look forward to Buffs getting revenge next season!

Great result today, & a determined Buffs sweeping a tricky opponant aside quite easily, once we got going! Some of our players still need to "cool it" ,& not get caught up in crap from the opposition & their supporters! At least we're through to the next round! C'mon the Buffs!!

The result of tonight's vote is in. Kilwinning Rangers will LEAVE Abbey Park! History has been made for the Buffs!!!

Whichever way the vote goes tonight, I hope everyone accepts the decision, & gets behind the club! C'mon the Buffs!!

Buffs are badly missing Joe Coleman at right back,imo. Although he was another player that "couldn't hold his tongue",Joe always gave 100%, & never shirked out of a tackle! Young Ewan McLevy, has good prospects,but sometimes looks 'out of his depth' ,in the Buffs team,imo. On loan from Killie,I expected more from him,tbh.......

A massive game for both teams on Saturday,fotj! Even at this early stage in the season.

Cheers bud.

He not miss two this season ? Don't think so,bud. I'm sure he's only missed the one pen,but you might be right. Hard to keep track when he's hittin' the back of the net with so many! Gary Fleming has taken Buffs' last couple of pens,though.......

Agree with you that Tommy's discipline lets him down at times,bud,but he's better than an AVERAGE player! If you were to watch him every week, you'd see how good a player he is for Buffs! He's solid in either mid-field or in defence,if he's required to play at the back. He never shirks out of a tackle,& there's not much gets past him! From mid-field,he often 'chips in' with the odd goal or two,also. He scored a good goal against Beith,in the Scottish,& he's been excellent from the penalty spot so far this season,scoring 8 out of 9,in all competitions!

I agree that we could do with an addition to the defence. Personally,I'd like to see the big "ginger haired" centre at Largs Thistle...usually the no.5...join us! I've watched him a few times now,& the lad hardly puts a foot wrong,imo!

It did look like the lino was joinin' in with the Penicuik celebrations!
