8MileBU Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 McKinley is a clown of a man. If he was half as good as he thinks he is we'd have some player. Spends too much time blaming others and shouting at refs when he should be taking responsibility.Both teams were pretty poor only in patches did either team show any ability. Stand out player on the park was Bonnyrigg no 10, Alan Horne? Classy. Alan Horne was the Bonnyrigg 10, and indeed a classy player. His close control and touch was immense and looked comfortable switching play with either foot. McKinley getting a red card for mouthing really is utter stupidity, especially after Ruari had already been sent off. Bit of a shame for his partner in defence too, as I thought Gary Thom was superb tonight. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 And that might be the first and only time I'll agree with you. Gary won everything tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted early doors that McKinley would get sent off - everytime he loses the ball he pretends he's injured. If he does somehow manage not to give the ball away he will proceed to lambast anything that moves... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Fair amount of heids gone around here about £1... I've been saying all season that McKinlay's an awful defender, but I can't just blame him. Surely he's not actually allowed to wander all over the left side any time he likes, leaving Thom one-on-one? There's something really wrong there but it's hard to know what without knowing what instructions the pair of them are given. A weak central defence has been the core of all our problems this season. Tonight was one of their better nights because Thom played well, the keeper made a few good saves and Bonnyrigg didn't turn promising opportunities into goals. Four at home to Dunbar, four at Beith, five at East Stirling, three at Preston, four at Broxburn, three at home to Ormiston, two at home to Jeanfield in a match we dominated, three at Penicuik and three at Musselburgh. In among that there are really poor goals conceded to teams like Stirling Uni EOS and Inverkeithing. We're not going to win the EoS or do anything in the cups next season with that defence, simple as that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we had such a massive improvement this year we got young players in. We had 5 players over 24 in the squad. The young guys are a year older now and retained a core. We have only lost kieran anderson everyone else has resigned. You need experience but you need legs much like the guys u have left were 5-6 yrs ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
