Hi Guys, sorry to hear about today's result. Sounds like a bad day at the office. I popped along for the Musselburgh cup game. To show my respect to a lovely individual and a true gentleman. Always found time to stop and talk to you. He will be sorely missed. Ref. the game. Yeah, only one team on the pitch. They weren't the worst at the back and their midfield were not too bad either, They just had no penetration. Big Game Hunter looked immense. Ryan did what he always does.. never tires.. awesome. I had never seen the young kid Nicol before ... very impressive. Standing in the crowd, you can see the shimmy coming and the shift off to his left, but seeing it .. and stopping it, 2 different things. I enjoyed, if I may use that word, being back, chatting to the guys, just saying hello again. I just wish it was under better circumstances. Be lucky guys, Take care, Brian

All about opions Dave, and in this matter, I am pretty much with you all the way. You require so many attributes to make it as a good footballer. Dave listed them... Ryan has them, in abundance. what a brilliant asset ... and a genuine guy. Andy, has had his share of little mishaps when the ball has arrived at his feet .. but as a a guy that is solely on the pitch to stop that ball going into the net.. at this level, I do not know anybody better. Simply a fantastic keeper. I don't know Nick to talk to so as such, my thoughts of his ability were purely footballing. I thought he was a little cocky, sure of himself.. I found out why. great player, lovely skills, runs with the ball, can score goals, although maybe could look up for potential passes before he fully commits to an attempt on goal, but for me, his greatest strength: He always wants the ball. yeah, easier game .. wee mazy, always good for the CV, but in the hard, pressureised games... still asks for it... brilliant. Brave .. I love that. Tom Grant? Apart from being a really nice guy ... why is this guy playing at our level. serously, why? His wand of a left foot is just mesmirising. He walks past people, takes the hits and pops back up..and some of his goals... you don't even get those on tv. A gifted left footer that can change the game in an instant. and the clincher for me... when he tracked back 70 yards to put a big challange in and stop the guy who had intercepted his pass. awesome. What a great bunch of guys at Bo'ness. That placing this year, in the first outing of the Lowland league, was not done just by skill, by pace, by a great defence and a bit of luck ... No, it was carried out by a bunch of guys that were willing to work for each other ... for the full 90. Not just friendship .. but respect also, All earned. Great to watch .. but again ... sickened by this unforgiving pandemic. Next season is gonna be a great season for the BUs.. I feel it in my water. Be lucky guys, C'Mon the BUs

Agree entirely 8Mile, there cannot be many players in Scotland, let alone the East, that ply their trade with one club for so long. Best compliment I can give Will, he is hated by every team he ever played against. Fans only hate opposition players that hurt them ... reeeespect Will. Ref Ross: I have obviously misread the guys age. I thought some of the games from last season, he was outstanding. quick, great in the air and with Big Stuart beside him, seemed so assured. A big loss. I wish them both well. very decent chaps. very decent. Ref my Brian Leaving. Guys, he has just had his first child, wants to spend more time "in the house". Moving down a league, with the away games being more local and the village of Crossgates 5 mins from his house, will allow him to do that. Personally, my time at Newton Park is filled with great afternoons and, unfortunately, no afternoons. My only regret, I didn't get along, like you all, to watch them this season.. a right stinker. Guys, your committee are very hard working and brilliant with visiting fans. Makes for a very enjoyable afternoon for all. Reeeeespect to them. wee shout out for Jen. The fans: pure mental. the noise, the support, the sheer numbers ... home and away... brilliant guys, just brilliant. The fans really do the club proud... total reeeespect. As for you reprobates that patrol the P&B.. hahahaha. Brilliant. knowledgeable, very..very funny, have your point and you stick to it .. and for me, guys, probably your best attribute.. you never slag the team, the committee, the club. I love that. Yeah, wee moans .. only human .. but if the team gets beat.. and we all know they give their all every week ... then the better team has one. The team: one of the hardest working teams I have ever seen. never give up. finishing 7th (4 points behind Gala with 2 games in hand) in the first season in the LL. A simply fantastic achievement. Guys.. a massive round of applause to each and every one off you. I wish you all well. Lastly, The management team... guys were brilliant and Ian and Max.. great pairing who managed to get every ounce of energy from the guys on the pitch. Very astute and clever before and during the games. keep it going guys. Gents, it has been my absolute privilege and pleasure to have ... sort of .. got to know you. Next season, Cup games maybe .. I am going to seek you all out ... love to finally put some faces to the names. Gents, be safe and take care. ... C'mon the BUs

If the SFA do decide to have all the LL teams play each other only once, one would assume the fixtures' secretary would take this into account. Never going to be a perfect scenario, but it will be, for this season, the rules.

Dave, just to see another post Not necessarily about how we are going to move forward, thoughts on how best to beat the next team we play, New signings, or even that the ban has been lifted and we are allowed back in to watch the guys playing again .. none of the previous, but an update on the tributes to past players from eras obviously not forgotten. Important to keep the history of such a great club fresh in the minds of the older generation and of the younger fans starting to come to the games. Great stuff in its individual context... Thank you for that... BUT... For Me Dave, the biggest thank you has to be for: Just reading a new Bo'ness United Post. To see that bold text highlight the topic name Bo'ness United FC Lowland League 2020/21as you open the website. Brilliant Maybe a little sad, but it has made my day. Thank you. Guys, look after yourselves and hopefully, WE WILL ALL come out of this horrendous period and start enjoying our football again. Have a great weekend.

hahahaha. that caps is catching.

probable "can of worms" here, but nothing much going on so I'll go for it: Lack of balance? what's the story?

Do we think the league will get finished.. A resolution as to the winner?

Talk about ghost town, Bad enough not getting to see our team play, but now we are deprived of our "inter-team" banter. It is most definitely a sad little world we are all in at this moment in time. stay safe people.

Sorry Selfie ... but this was up there also.. lol.

Touche, consider our wrists slapped. have a good day Selfie.

Thanks for the shout guys. doesn't even shock anymore. not good, getting used to games being off.

The last half dozen posts have been horrible to read. Reality is a right beeeatch. Ref. the Vaccine - It has to be our only hope. Stay safe gents. C'Mon the BUs

just one big sheet of ice over here, in Dunfermline. Bo'ness about the same? too dangerous to ask the guys to play in these conditions.

just watched the highlights of yesterday's game. not very inspiring. We will be better the next game. C'Mon the BUs
