AlansHotBath Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well, I am very excited to attend today's big game in the 5th tier, the one everyone is talking about - East Stirlingshire vs Bo'ness United in the LL Cup semi-final. Based on the previous two I'm sure it will be a good game, although I've no idea what result to expect - Bo'ness recent good form has given me cause for concern, but Shire have routinely surprised in big moments this season and are a match for any team in the league on their day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The BU's recent good results have been a pleasant surprise. Injuries and absences have meant the team has picked itself and the 11 on the pitch have given their all. Be interesting to see if the BU manager changes things to accommodate returning players like Skinner, Galbraith and (a hopefully fit) Mitchell or sticks with the guys who have toughed it out the last few games. Mon the BU ' s !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Having Mitchell on board seemed to make the biggest difference to the overall fortunes of the team when available so suspect he's the most likely to be treated that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Huge game today. Would be so disappointing to end what has been in my book quite a decent season with a loss in a semi final. Think it’ll be really close, we’re missing a few players today and would not be shocked if it goes to penalties. Kieran Offords pace against the BUs centre half’s may well make the difference. I’ll be tuning in via bet365 live updates praying for suspended betting on Shire ‘dangerous attacks’. What a thrill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 A real game of 2 halves Craigiemack. First half was 1-0 but should have been 4 to 6 nil to The Shire such was their dominance. Shire forwards broke through the BU defence at will time after time. Second half the BU scored a 22+ yard free kick to equalise against the run if play and The Shire swagger disappeared. BU then took the lead with a brilliant dribble by Nicol setting up Mitchell to score the winner. Lots of niggle and general silliness after that with it being a derby game. Watched it through blue tinted spectacles but reckon it was an entertaining game for the neutrals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Conspiracy Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Absolutely agree Dave. Very disappointing second half for Shire after being completely in control in the first. Both Bo'ness goals were great, though, and we never really tested your keeper after going behind. Gutted that we didn't make it, but good luck in the final next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlansHotBath Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Yeah, really no way to look at the result today as anything but a disappointment. We could've had the game won in the first half and couldn't lift our performance again in the second the way Bo'ness did. I thought the game was still fairly equal in the second half, but those two goals in 5 minutes killed us, and as Bo'ness figured out a way to keep Offerd quiet we had no real attacking threat and no clear way back into the game, especially in the later sections when Bo'ness went into full game management/cheating mode (delete as appropriate depending on your club allegiance). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheating mode do explain the shire had a 12 th man in the 1st half with the linesman that failed to put his flag up when shire player was offside at least 4 times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we paid him off, in which case we should've paid him more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All season our inability to score goals and hold onto leads has been our downfall and it finally cost us big time today. A few weeks ago against berwick Offord ripped Scobbie, Balatoni and Pyper apart and I was hoping for more of the same today on the big pitch but wasn't to be. Good luck in the final, a promising end to what has no doubt been a slog of a season for you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigiemack Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 We finally build a decent team where a few good close season signings could propel us into challenger territory but that will not be the case. Gibbons the first of what I presume will be many heading for the door. Boy a know said he turned down decent money from Bo'Ness to join whatever the name of the club playing in Alloa are called now. Gibbons is a great player, it is no coincidence that our defensive record improved dramatically over the last couple of season and I wish him well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good at set pieces and got a decent strike on him when the opportunity arises. Surprised hes went as high as League 1 but good luck to him.
