Maybe one day modern architects will design a stand with a roof on it that stops the front three rows of seats getting wet...

Lets be honest here, Dunbar staying in the division was surely the objective at the start of the season.
A good run in the Scottish and a purple patch in the league earlier in the season probably heightened expectations. There was always going to be a point where we stuttered.
Great result at the weekend, which will give the staff and players confidence for the remaining games.
Hopefully we will get the points required to stay up, build on the squad for next season and look forward to a new stand at NCP.
Exactly, and very probably the same objectives as around 50% of most other clubs. Three home games, all potentially winnable and all potentially 6 pointers. Cleary it would be foolish to predict anything.

Yes agree. I have no idea how it happened but we will take it. 2-0 down 10 mins to go and Lithgy chucked it. Credit to Dunbar . A great 3 points doesn't matter how we played, all about getting points.
Personally, Id say that DUFC played ok - Linlithgow didnt look superior in any sense at all. DUFC went 1:0 down to a late first half undisputed penalty. DUFC had a few openings during that half.In the second they fell futher behind to a fairly quick goal.
Did DUFC desrve to 2:0 down at that point?
Obviously the heads went down for 10 minutes or so, But no way did Linlithgow either raise their game or look superior.
as for the final 20 minutes - thats now written into history. Deservedly so.
What this game demonstrafted is that this is a very competitive league. Theres nothing really between most of the clubs. I dont see any regular 5:0 or 6:0 scores coming in.
I think that any team playing to their full ability on the day is more than match for either of the top 3. None of hem are superstars, all have weakness that can be exploited, and they know it.
Maybe its worth refreshing your memory that the score on the abandoned fixture was 2:1 to DUFC until it was stopped around 43 minutes. I think credit where its due.
I'd also say that the bench mark club is Sauchie. They are capable of much more progress in this league. They can match anyone, however Blackburn too their points this weekend.

Newtongrange Star
Well, what a funny old game fitba really is.
Saturday became an historic day in the history of DUFC. A win in Newtongrange… an almost unheard of statement.
A very competent performance by the DUNBAR players. A result of 4:1 says it all.
A victory at New Victoria Park.

Saturday 13 Nov.
Today its New Victoria Park and a chance to reverse previous results vs Newtongrange Star.
DUFC performed well in the narrow midweek defeat to the league leaders - Penicuik Athletic.
Today has the makings of a very tense match ...... it could come down to simple mistake deciding where the points go today.
Good luck guys

There's be swearing on the pitch whether or not Swifts played there unless it was only hired out to the Church of Scotland Ministers XI or Trappist Monks United.
It makes me wonder if swearing and alcohol would be acceptable to the Dalgety Bay twats if the posts were a different shape like a big H and the ball was oval
I've been to a Swifts game. I don't remember the pitch being particularly near to houses.
Whats it got to do with Church of Scotland ministers x1??
The ones that I know have more rounded characters than a lot of contributors on here.
Cant comment on Trappist Monks, but they've certainly got a long history.

LTHV 2:1 DUFC
Certainly not the result that they majority of supporters in the ground were wanting. However DUFC tried their best under the circumstances. A little disappointing but thats the game. one minute you are up, the next your'e down.
Hope LTHV enjoy the next round as one of the representatives of the EOS Premier League.

As a matter of interest when did Dunbar United last take a bus load of supporters to an away match? Personally I am delighted at the progress being made with the club.

If anyone hasn't seen photos of the Team bus to Ainsley Park - go and check out the images on the club facebook page. Well done EVE COACHES.
Also worth checking out the supporters bus.
Both are very special.

All to play for next week.
Thought Michael Mcfarlane was absolutely immense yesterday.
Very nervy performance but the boys are itching to get started next Saturday........Potentially another home tie v Edinburgh City awaits.
I think Mikey McFarlane is outstanding most weeks.

Do you want Saturday's lottery numbers as well

Nitten have assembled a decent team , I think they'll stay up.
Whitehill have a fantastic keeper but not such a great squad so I'm tipping them to go down.
Dundonald are a team and they should have just enough to stay up.
Camelon ,again not strong enough and unless John Harvey can work wonders I'll tip them to drop as well.
Hill of Beath and either Sauchie or Blackburn will be relegated in my opinion.
Feel free to repost this at the end of the season
and your forecast for potential 5th team dropping is?

Hill of Beath Hawthorn 1-2 Newtongrange Star
Whitehill Welfare 3-2 Dundonald Bluebell
Pair of what could be very significant results at the bottom.
Newtongrange get their opening win and move to within 9pts of safety. Whitehill move above Hill of Beath to within 4pts.
With most clubs having 19 or 20 games remaining, everybody from Dunbar downward will be looking nervously over their shoulders.
My personal view is that there will be huge interest in the 50% of clubs in the lower half of the league until the final games of the season.
I agree that its going to become a very nervy time for a lot of clubs and officials and of course the supporters.

And a great initiative to provide a supporters bus to the replay at AINSLIE PARK. Details on the club web site or FB pages.

Great occasion at NCP yesterday.
Huge attendance, every available bit of barrier was taken, 2 deep in most of the ground.
Two nervy teams - I'm sure both can play a fair bit better. Dunbar hitting the crossbar twice, once from the spot.
These Scottish Cup matches certainly get the interest.

The manager clearly has options to change his setups. Ben Bathgate is also starting to make progress and appears to have recovered from that early season foot injury.
The cup game is brilliant, but the following back to back games vs Dundonald will go a very long way to set the direction that the team are taking.
Dundonald Hmmm,, I remember the stooshie that they raised last year regarding EoS policy proposals.

DEAN WHITSON
That is a very remarkable signing. A little bit unexpected to say the least. Promising times ahead?

Dunbar sign Dean Whitson from Tranent Juniors on a 2 year deal after an earlier 1 month loan deal earlier in the season.
Superb signing for Dunbar,Deano's started the last 6/7 Tranent games as well.
You may need look for a set of xxL kit

An enjoyable match played on a wet surface, with a decent crowd - taking into account the prematch conditions.
It was very good to see the Belters in action for the first time this season. They fielded a strong lineup - actually any Tranent lineup will be a stong team.! However Kevins selection produced a display that was equal to the task. The first half had near things at each end. The second TJFC goal was a wee bit unlucky on the Dunbar defence - Mikey McFarane just had too much momentum on the wet surface and the reslut was an OG that gave Daniel little chance of stopping it. These things happen ,,,,,, However another equaliser brought Dubar back into it. Close to the final whistle Fraser McLaren chased and caught out the TJFC defence, Almost the entire stadium rose as one to cheer the anticipated winner,,,,,, sadly it didnt happen.
Could Dunbar have taken 3 pints - clearly the statement above says so. Could TJFC have felt hard done by,,,, in my opinion no. Either team could have taken the 3 points.
All I'm saying is - to me there didnt seem to be a huge difference between the teams. In fact Dunbar has played much better teams than yesterdays TJFC. No doubt TJFC will be disappointed - they are the form team of the season, and it'll be a different match at Forrester Park later in the season.
What a pity the weather ruled out Tuesdays match vs Penicuik - I'm sure Dunbar could also have taken something from that game.
A lot of good performers from Dunbar yesterday....MoTM must have have been a difficult choice but it was given to Daniel.
A decent attendance had lots to keep them occupied.
Last weeks result at Crossgates was a sore one to take, yesterday the team responded very well.
If that was a normal level of performance from TJFC, then as many folks say - this league is very tight. Personally, I've seen DUFC play better and get nothing.
funny old game,,,

Blackburn United 1-4 Crossgates Primrose
Camelon 0-4 Tranent
Dunbar United 3-1 Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts
Dundonald Bluebell 1-3 Penicuik Athletic
Musselburgh Athletic 1-2 Tynecastle
Sauchie 3-2 Broxburn Athletic
Whitehill Welfare 0-2 Linlithgow Rose
I'm unclear on the actual relegation numbers. I'm sure someone has the answer for the following scenario; For arguments sake lets say PENICUIK win the EoS Premier. Vale of Leithen and Edinburgh Uni are the relegated clubs from the LL.
If Penicuik were to be unsuccessful in the round robin play off vs the Wosfl/Sosfl would that become the doomsday scenario whereby 6 clubs are then relegated from the EoS premier?

I do think that at the end of the day hard work and actually promoting games is the key to bringing fans in and match day experience is the way to keep them.
Dunbar for example despite all the stuff in pre-season have to be praised. The town knew there was a game on, a big Scottish Cup game. Posters everywhere. They were rewarded with 200 extra fans added from the previous round. Reminded me of Auchinleck Talbot the way they went about it. Credit where it is due. The test will be how many come back for Hillfield on Saturday.
I think there is a huge number of potential customers who still aren't aware of or attracted by their local clubs and a fair few clubs missing out on that income.
Regarding tonight, 284 was the crowd the last time the teams played.
Factors against an increase
Monday night (work in the morning) will put a few of the ground hoppers off.
£10 gate i think is £3 too high. (Lthv was £6 yesterday)
TV will take a few of the maybes away.
Form: Gretna have been struggling with many seeing this as a comfortable home win.
20 days since Berwicks last home game
Factors for an increase:
Competition Scottish Cup
Local promotion
Berwick get a fair number of younger supporters
Easy to get to - good parking.
Biggest game for a long time.
Anything North of 350-400 would be a fair deal
Don't know what you mean or infer 'Dunbar for example despite all the stuff in pre-season' and I know that you don't know,

Dunbar United Season 20/21
in East of Scotland Football League
Posted · Edited by Malty Guy

Statistically there's very little between these two sides tomorrow.
Dunipace have scored exactly 100% more league goals than Dunbar. On the other side of that coin, Dunipace have conceeded 50% more league goals than Dunbar.
Both teams have only had a single league defeat so far this season.
Far too tight to predict an outcome. Hope its a great game.
