Really surprised at that result. Haddington hammered Glenrothes 7-0, ten days ago. Just shows that you cannot take any result as read. Great cup win for Glenrothes

Good post Saw Preston beat Kinnoull last week in the League Cup, the home side winning 4-2 after extra time. Thought Preston were the better team, even in 9 mins, but not much in it. Top of League1 has been very competitive in past 2 season, but Kinnoull will be very much in the mix should they go down.

Got to think that even a win for Kinnoull, they will still go down. Fair play to them if they manage to win their last 5 matches, but even then, one win in 5 for both Luncarty & Glenrothes (never mind Hillfoot and Crossgates) would see Kinnoull down anyway. Good luck to them all

Of the bottom 6 clubs, I think Luncarty are the best of them all. Said a wee while ago that I didn’t think they would get relegated. Most likely bottom 3, as is, will go down, unless Crossgates get 10 pts from last 6 matches?

On a less ramble of a post; this feed is on page 99, having only started up in June 23. Compare to Linlithgow which has 39 pages of posts. (Comparing as these two pages have always had more posts than other 'EoS' teams When pie and Bovril seems to be on a continuous slow death rate, great to see fans of a club willing to share their thoughts so much. D Dave obviously contributes a lot with match updates - also great to see

Who do you think are the other bankrolled teams in the league? I'm not so sure that a bankrolled team automatically wins the league. Yes, EK spent more (certainly brought in loads of players), but players have to gel to make a team and sometimes egos will get in the way so no guarantee on the playing/winning front. In saying that, I found it funny; comments made by some of the Tranent fans on their supporters Facebook page. Nose was certainly out of joint with EK. But, only a few weeks ago, some were saying that if they beat EK away, then they were back in the running for the league. Today, Tranent sit 24 pts behind - bit of a capitulation. I've transgressed somewhat, but in the past few years, Tranent has also spent a fair bit on their squads / management teams, bringing in loads of players / shipping out at nearly same rate. However, it took a few years before they were promoted to the Lowand League - coming back to thought that large investment in funds doesn't guarantee league success.

Haddington to join them in the quarters after Tuesday night’s cup-tie

Used to think your posts were a good read

Was probably jesting about Jeanfield, who will be favourites to advance? Hill of Beath is a good shout, given their recent results All subjective, but I can hope!!

So a semi final quartet of; Sauchie v Broxburn; and Whitburn v Haddington Thaughts

Apologies Fuzzy. Got it wrong so have deleted my post.

I know!!

On behalf of The Faceman, Lowland League Attendances, at 1 April 2024, now attached. For any Bo'ness United 'posters' who see this, would be great if you/the Club can see if the missing 9 attendance figures can be provided. Thank you.

Wonder why the 4th round and semi final draws were to take place but not the quarter final draw? So strange!

Quite simple; Spyro - guy doesn’t get your humour! Sad, but (allegedly) true! New one on me though, that you belong to Falkirk

Tuesday 23 April 24 is the selected date for the 3rd round League cup tie between Haddington and Dunbar, taking place at Millfield. Dunbar has won both league matches, this season; (2-1 home) and (1-0 away). In the first match, Haddington should have been out of sight after the first 45 minutes,, but hardly won a ball in the 2nd half. The 2nd was a close affair, only split by a 1st half penalty for the away side. Both teams will be confident of progressing, so an eagerly anticipated match in prospect.

Near enough guarantee that practically all the EoS grass pitches in Fife will be off. It’s rained less in previous weeks for this to be the case. Can’t quite remember such a sustained level of rain these past few weeks, in many a year.

Can’t agree with you more

If you use Facebook, check Tranent F.C. Supporters Page where details are included in the comments underneath the statement shown earlier on this page.

I like you as a poster, same with D Dave. But, this is not just a Tranent issue, albeit it appears this has gone a step to far! Linlithgow has already restricted their own 'ultras' as the wee knows are already causing trouble in the town centre. If clubs at this level, including East of Scotland clubs don't control their 'young teams' better, then this scene may get out of control. I know not all clubs are affected by this kind of issue, but taunting by a few 'young teams' appears to be getting out of hand.

Big club status in East Lothian changes on a regular basis. At moment, my team isn’t the biggest, perhaps just be the best. I can see where the original poster is coming from and what is said is certainly mirrored, in most, to the Edinburgh Evening News. But my point regarding the coverage of football related issues in East Lothian stands. Also, as far as I am aware, (ALLEGEDLY - in case I am wrong) coverage of the 6 teams mentioned is not even dealt with by a full time journalism; but rather someone who is totally into football at this level.

Hold the bus! Have not read the West Lothian Courier so can’t comment. However, the reference of ‘dismal quality of local papers’ certainly Does Not fit the script where the East Lothian Courier is concerned. Always a great coverage of the 5 EoS teams and one Lowland league team each week. May be we are unique, as a region, but don’t put blame where it’s not merited.

And there-in lies the problem (allegedly) for Tranent. The number of managers that come and go, seems to be far too many. Each new manager wants their own type of player, so turnover of players also appears non-concussive for a settled team. Guys like Sean Murphy (great player) and Ben Murphy have been at club for a long period and served their club well. But there are a number of players who come and go so quickly and it’s hard to keep up and think what their best 11 is.

I like your honesty Omni Just a few weeks ago some Belters fans thought a win away to East Kilbride and Tranent were back in the title race, or certainly finish 2nd. Now, there is a chance they might not finish in top 6. Hopefully they can steady the ship, then prepare for 2024-25.

So it’s a shootout between Dunipace and Newtongrange for top spot? Good to see the Midlothian team back in the Premier League next season.
