    Haha shots fired. Or even better… relegate all the yes voters of the B teams. 
     

    Changing the subject, some big crowds in the west yesterday with Pollok and the Clydebank games. 
     

    Clydebank currently top of the league, be great to see them come up. Replacing them with either Edinburgh uni or Gretna. Or hopefully both

    Think most clubs would want Bankies up as they would bring a decent away support same with the Lok.

    Hmm... You're probably right but those released players hadn't exactly got us top of the league, most have got gigs elsewhere, I could quote you plenty of examples of other clubs over the last 30 years doing the same thing and we're still bottom.

    Haven't most of the released players signed by new clubs most of them will still be getting decent wages, had to be done better than the club going bust.

    It’s still a bit weird subbing the goalie at half time, even if he had a brain fart. Same old story though, goalie makes a mistake it’s a calamity, defender makes a howler (eg first Bo’ness goal today) it’s quickly forgotten but the consequence was the same.

    You can’t tell I’m the Dad of a goalkeeper can you? I do get a bit protective about them. 😀

    To be fair he was one of three or four players who got hooked at the break that day.

    Haven't seen that but when Spartans were up for it in the summer the prize for them was our league place. We'd have had to 'take over' them to make it work. Therefore the plan Tom Tracy posted about on LinkedIn.

     

    It was appalling and ludicrous back then, it's the same now but additionally doesn't make any sense at all, on any level.

    They were an SPFL club in the summer.

    Jack Ruddy was at Cowdenbeath for the first half of last season, thought he was very decent.

    Played a dozen or so games but Maurice Ross seemed to change his mind quite often between him and Dan Farrell. I seem to remember Jack got rather bizarrely subbed (not injury related) at half time in an away game and he left quite soon after.

    One of the older Bo’ness gents on the terracing reckoned your goalie has his eye on a move up the ladder, and Ruddy brought in as a result of that.

    He got subbed at Gretna had a complete howler for their goal so I wouldn't have minded Maurice saying something to him about it. I actually thought Danny Farrell was the best of the 2 last season.

    For me Ruddy has spent too much of his career on the bench the latest club being Dulwich I would rate the regular BU keeper higher.

    Mild as in temperature above 0 with a wind so cold that it will cut you in half but thankfully won’t freeze the ground.

    A balmy 5 degrees tomorrow at kick off tho !

    Frost starting to form where I live on both pavements and cars.

    Shambles. Surely the SPFL should have found checked the fixtures knowing that another club uses it as their home ground? 

    Albion fixtures will always take priority normally when there's an over lap the Uni play on a Sunday this may happen with our cup game.

    That’s a shame the games off. I was looking forward to visiting for the first time. Hopefully I can make it on the rearranged date. 

    2 weeks in a row the joys of winter.

    There is a very good reason why there are current vacancies, who would want to be associated with a board who makes these types of farcical decisions. It needs cleared out from top to bottom.

    Easier to change things from the inside.

    There were vacancies on the LL committee weren't there?

    No matter how poorly the league is run if the clubs cared enough these vacancies would be filled. It's a poor show even by anti B team clubs. They need to get their people on-board - yesterday. No use moaning if they don't.

    The league need new blood running it asap.

    There are 2 vacant places all the clubs can put people forward, a lot moan on social media to be popular but don't put anyone forward if you want to improve things put someone forward.
