Deanburn Dave Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 BU Twitter from 2 hours ago says there has been another act of vandalism at Newtown Park and "extensive damage to the pie hut". Hopefully they are tracked down, convicted and punished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is never any witness's around and by the time the Police get to the scene there probably won't be any evidence. However, if caught these scroats will get a slap on the wrist end off and the Club are out of pocket. The biggest problem is no local Policing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is, stationed usually at the doughnut counter in Tesco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 A traffic enforcement van on the Dean Road is the closest we get to a police presence in Bo'ness. You have to be extremely dim or unlucky to get arrested these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 What I don't get is the motivation of these idiots - I'm assuming they are youths from Bo'ness, why would you want to make your own community worse off? This is where you stay and you want to destroy it?F**cking madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I suppose at root the motivation will be the same as it's always been for kids (or as we're supposed to call them "young adults" as they may well fall into the bracket) to commit vandalism... the thrill of doing something 'wrong' and 'risky' without there being much risk of actually being caught; the sense of rebelliousness; the chance to show off in front of your mates about how tough and bold you are. In some cases, no doubt, also a relish and sense of power in damaging something others enjoy with impunity. Difference nowadays is a reduced chance of being caught or even the fear of the possibility of being caught (fewer police about); the reduced consequences of being caught (little punishment from the courts, if even charged and convicted - and less ostracising in society); and a reduced sense of community meaning fewer and fewer places these vandals would balk at the thought of attacking out of a sense of "right 'n wrong". You also wonder if the parents have a clue where their children are and what they're doing. In the past the tailend of the summer holidays would see vandalism and arson committed on abandoned buildings and suchlike but it seems nowadays anything is 'fair game' all year. It's often put down to kids being bored and "not having anything to do". In reality the facilities they attack are often providing exactly such outlets.

Deanburn Dave Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I see on the BU Twitter that Linlithgow Rose have pulled out of the game v the BU's on the 29th due to injuries, work committments etc, etc. Sorry to read that as I was looking forward to watching that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 We were poor, certainly. we can only hope that the players will be keen to end the year on a high. It's not going to be easy without our main playmaker though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep reading how use continually out play teams and don't get your rewards maybe it will level out through the season. Gutted the friendly is cancelled, was looking forward to putting the last game (defeat) to the right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
