Did he no always go to games with a carrier bag ??

Aye! Sure we got him a bag for life at one point. 

Remember him mercilessly heckling the Montrose full back, because he was wearing red boots, telling him if he clicked his heels together, he'd get to Kansas. 

There's a few videos of him on YouTube, if you look up "Mad Bill" (although there's also some American singer by that name). Also check out "Shire at Elgin" and "Shire on Tour".

One for @HibeeJibee to confirm, but it looks like Bonnyrigg will have a manic May if they keeping winning all their cup games. I make it 13 matches to be played after the 4th May title decider up until 1st June (26 days from the first Monday)! And that's assuming the SOS don't have a licensed champion...

However, you have seemingly omitted April, including Saturday 27th April.

:whistle Bugger, forgot they weren't playing that day. Suppose they could fit a game in on Wednesday 24th as well since they play Eyemouth on the 20th.

Its no different to the last few years to be honest. With more league games next season for the top division I presume one of the cups might be dropped, reformatted or restricted to just the Tier 7 clubs.

Good result away from home today, bench was a little sparse for various reasons with only 1 real sub.

Strong winds and a pitch that was very heavy in places meant it was never going to be a display of free flowing football but 3 points was the goal and that's what we came away with.

Interested to see the highlights as I think we may have been a little fortunate with Dundonalds second goal being disallowed

Bonnyrigg can now seal the conference title by taking something at Dunipace on Friday coming (first game on the groundhop with an 8pm kickoff).

Failing that they need to hope Bo'ness fail to win at LTHV, or else it'll go down to mid-April... first up Bonnyrigg v LTHV in midweek and failing that Bonnyrigg v Bo'ness.

I don’t want to jinx anything but how far away are Bonnyrigg from the ‘world record’ run of wins that East Kilbride caused a stir with a few years ago?

They are currently on 18 league wins, EK got 30 (26 was the 'record').

EK’s wasn’t just in the league though and I’m sure there was a penalty shoot out win in there too? Must be looking at 21/22 in all comps back to September?

We're currently on 21 consecutive wins since the defeat at Deveronvale, its 16 league games and 5 in the cup.

East Kilbride eventually 'won' 30 games running in all competitions. They allegedly surpassed Ajax's world record at 27. Since then TNS of Wales (genuinely) won 27-in-a-row which Hereford had done the season before EK. Bonnyrigg are currently on 21.

Belfast Celtic won 31 games running in all competitions in 1947-48... Tiverton Town won 30 consecutive league games across 1995-96 and 1996-97... There are bigger totals outside Europe, e.g. Glens Strikers of Rhodesia won 38 consecutive league games in 1977. It's a bit like the claim Keith McLeod of Spartans equalled the British record for scoring in consecutive games. He equalled the top-tier record: but given he was not playing in the top-tier, that's clearly comparing apples 'n pears.

Should we find Bonnyrigg win their last 4 league games, both round-robin matches, and next 4 cup-ties... then the discussion becomes interesting.

It was a great result on Saturday and the bandwagon rolls on to Dunipace on Friday night. Would be great to wrap up our conference there and give us impetus getting towards the business end of the season.

We don't have a free date until April 27th so it'll likely be that weekend, the only other alternative is that we play the game on a Monday night as all the Wednesdays are occupied until May 8th.
