Musselburgh Athletic F.C 2018/19


Recommended Posts

League match 19 for Musselburgh and the second last home game at Olivebank in 2018-19; unless a 2nd home cup tie comes our way. In October 18, Burgh beat Easthouses 3-1 away, so, were hoping for a league double over their Midlothian rivals. Lily were looking for a win to keep their hopes of a top five position come the end of the season.
Musselburgh fielded the same starting line up for the second weekend running. To quote a few fans and one from a player, the first half was dull. Little goalmouth action at either end  in the first 30 minutes.
The only notes worth taking started in 31 minutes, when Bradley Whyte received a yellow card for a foul on an Easthouses player. It was a robust tackle at most and surprised a number of supporters when the referee blew his whistle in the first place. Matters started to warm up on 39 minutes, when Conor Thomson nearly scored directly from a corner. Lily keeper, Hay, saved on the line. The ball came out to Connor and his next attempt, from the edge of the box, came off the bar.
Half time 0-0.
Within two minutes of the re-start, Mathu King had the ball in the net, but linesman flagged for offside. The first goal came in 53 minutes. Michael Deland made a run to the bye-line and crossed towards the goal. Ball was cleared only as far as the Burgh’s top goal scorer. Three touches later and Mathu made it 1-0.
The shackles on the match were well and truly off. In 55 minutes a nice one-two between Mathu and Nathan Evans, saw a shot from Mathu, come crashing off the bar. Michael D hit the rebound which went wide of post.
The Lily captain, Arthur received a yellow, following a foul given to Musselburgh. Too much chatting back to the ref earned him the card. Then, in the space of three minutes, Hay made good saves, twice from Mathu and from Jack Gillan. Just after the hour mark, Easthouses had a rare chance to score. From a free kick Barrie’s shot was parried out by Ally Adams. Then, the centre forward, Shearer shot from 25 yards and Ally had to touch save the ball onto the bar, when an equaliser looked inevitable.
Just before 65 minutes, subs from either side, saw Bradley replaced by Gary Cherrie. For the away side, Anderson came on for Young. Almost immediately the second goal came. Two corners from Conor, saw Mathu’s effort cleared off the line by Barrie. Then Mathu saw another shot cleared, but this time Nathan scored with his second attempt on goal. Score now 2-0 to Musselburgh.
Easthouses came close on 67 minutes, when the sub Anderson’s shot was saved by Ally and out for a corner. Shortly after, Gary and Jonno McManus received yellow cards; Jack G was replaced by Jackie Myles and for Lily, Crutcher replaced Beattie.
Musselburgh went 3-0 up on 74 minutes. Gary won the ball in the middle of the park and passed ball out to right wing. Nathan then ran into box and scored from a tight angle. Prior to the goal going in, Barrie was injured and after treatment was subbed with Mcivor coming on.
On 77 minutes, Nathan had a golden chance to get his hat trick but his shot was just wide of the post. Two minutes later, from a long ball out from Ally, Nathan made a good run and collected ball on 18 yard line and guided ball past Hay for Burgh’s fourth goal.
With 10 minutes remaining, Ewan Ralton came on for Liam Gregory. A couple of minutes later, Mciver received a yellow card for trying to hold onto and steal Conor’s shorts. Maybe he wanted something from the game! Last goal of the match came in 84 minutes and it was the best of the bunch. Hay played ball to Lily’s Taylor, but Jackie tackled him and from 25 yards, chipped the ball over the keeper and into the net.
Match ended 5-0 to Musselburgh. Man of match was hat trick hero Nathan Evans. Best for Easthouses was the keeper, Hay.
The win saw Musselburgh move into second in the league; three point ahead of Hill of Beath; though the Fife team have three games in hand. In the last four matches, Musselburgh has scored five goals or more in each match and for the second week in a row, Burgh did not concede a goal.

Regarding the wind up whitepele - are you referring to me or you? I cant quite make this out?

The tackle in the first half where Bradley got booked happened in 31 minutes. Can't recall the studs being that high to be truthful with you! Correct me if I am wrong - but no Easthouses player was subbed at that time.

According to the notes;

1.  around 65 minutes, No.11 (Young) was replaced by No. 15 - Anderson; then

2. around 70 minutes No. 8 (Beattie) was replaced by No. 16 - Crutcher; finally

3. around 72 minutes (just before a Musselburgh goal) No. 7 (Barrie) went down injured. After the goal, Barrie was treated and then replaced by No.17 - McIver

So, the first sub for Easthouses was around 50 minutes (including halt-time) after the tackle that saw Bradley booked. If it was that bad a tackle, how did the player not go off at the time?

If the report is wrong, please do let me know and I will put in an amendment.

Cheers CJ

Didn’t realise you were the player involved! Sorry that you are out for rest of the season. I hope the injury heals, so you are fit and ready for pre-season training! All best!

A break from the league campaign, saw Musselburgh meet Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale in the 2nd Round of the King Cup. This was Burgh’s tenth cup match in 2018-19 and unbelievably, their ninth away tie. The only home cup tie was back in September 18, with a win against Dunipace.

The gates opened at 2:00pm. An unusual sight of two shutters side by side opened up, with two rather pleasant committee members greeting the fans on entry to ground, with the cheapest match ticket this season of £5.

Luckily, a new enclosure, built earlier this season, meant that those who wished some rest bite from the bitterly cold wind could huddle together.

First chance of the match came in the fifth minute. From a corner there was a bit of a scramble in the LTHV penalty area with Mathu King and Michael Deland both having chances to score, but the keeper eventually managed to hold onto the ball.

On 8 minutes, Nathan Evans pounced on a mistake from a Lothian Thistle defender. He passed the ball to Mathu, but the centre half got to ball first to send it out for a corner. LTHV’s first real chance came in 10 minutes. From a throw in, ball came to the edge of the box but the shot skied high above the bar, by their no.6; certainly not helped by the strong winds.

First booking of match came in 18 minutes, with Michael Moffat punished for a rash tackle on a home side player. On 27 minutes another forward move by Lothian Thistle saw the ball put into the Burgh box. A couple of Thistle players shouted for a penalty but play was waived on.

The first goal came in 42 minutes. Ball was played up the wing and fell to Conor Thomson on the right hand side of the box. He shot with power, but the ball seemed to be travelling away from goals. However, Nathan managed to get a touch and steered the ball into the net. Mathu had another chance just before half time, but his shot went wide. Players went inside with Burgh up 1-0.

In the first minute of the second half, LTHV’s left winger received the ball in the box. His shot was saved by Ally Adams.

Three players were booked in quick succession. On 51 minutes, Jack Gillan received a yellow for his challenge on the home side’s right back. Then Gary Cherrie was booked for a heavy challenge on Thistle’s no.8, who lay motionless until the ref blew for the physio to come on. There was a shout from a Musselburgh fan that the player was feigning injury, which certainly did not seem the case. The Thistle left wing remonstrated with the fan and received a yellow for his actions! After about three minutes, the player hobbled off the park. It looked like his match was over, but he was able to continue.

Jackie Myles was next to have a shot on goal on 58 minutes. He received a pass from Michael M, but the keeper saved the attempt. Five minutes later Gary played a good ball through to Nathan, who was in the clear with only the keeper to beat. He seemed to have too much time on his hand as his shot went woefully wide of the goals. However, another supporter said that the bobbly pitch did not help!

First substitution came on 65 minutes. Michael M was stretching for the ball and he immediately lay on the ground shouting for mercy! As soon as the Burgh physio came on, he signalled the end of the match for Michael, who had a reoccurrence of a pulled hamstring. The last time this happened was last season up at Dundee when Burgh met Downfield, putting on the sidelines for a few weeks! Michael was helped off the field with Jack going to right back and Ewan Ralton came on.

With 70 minutes on the clock, LTHV’s left winger played the ball into the no.8. His blast from outside the box had to be tipped over the bar by Ally. Just after, the home side no.7 was subbed with no.15 coming on. LTHV had another chance on 79 minutes. A good move between the left winger and centre forward saw a pass to the no.10. His shot was parried clear by Ally. The same player then took a corner which the no.6 headed just over the bar.

The second goal of the match came with 5 minutes remaining. On the right hand side of the pitch, ball was played into the box and Ralts was there to collect. He had his back to the goals, looked around and squared ball to Nathan. His shot from close range to put Burgh 2-0 up and this was final score!

This was Burgh’s third clean sheet of the day. In an untidy match, certainly hampered by the wind and the bobbly pitch, (in need of being levelled), best players were Jonno McManus and Greig Callaghan, the two centre halves. The supporters player of the match was awarded to Greig. For the home side, the no.6 was their best player and would have challenged Greig for overall best player!

The reward for Musselburgh is an unusual home cup tie against Camelon. Crowd for the day was 63. I think there were less than 10 home fans at the match!

  • 2 weeks later...

Two weeks ago, Musselburgh played away to LTHV in the 2nd round of the King Cup and came away with a 2-0 win. The reward was a home tie in the 3rd round with Camelon Juniors the visitors to Olivebank.

The away side are 4th in Conference C with 43 points from 19 league matches. Musselburgh sit in 3rd place in Conference A; with 47 points from 20 matches. The last time the sides met was in season 2016-17. Both league matches ended in 1-1 draws.

So, it was inevitable fans were speaking of another close match in prospect. Due to an injury picked up by Greig Callaghan, there was one change to last week’s line up for the home side, with Liam Reid coming back into the defence set-up. Nathan Evans, who scored both goals in the 2nd round found himself on the bench.

A good crowd gathered to watch the cup tie and an early chance fell to Camelon. The centre forward, Docherty ran into the box, shot past Ally Adams, but the ball went wide of the post.

Musselburgh also a chance a couple of minutes later, but a free kick, floated into the Camelon box, resulted in a soft header by Liam R which the goalkeeper, Shaw, safely collected.

The first goal of the tie came in 12 minutes. A long ball from defence landed in the Burgh half, with Keiron Anderson, lead scorer in the East of Scotland, running clear of the defence. Ally came to the 18 yard box, then suddenly started to run back, when challenging for the ball may have been the best option. Anderson got to the ball and with Ally’s angles all wrong, it was an easy goal to score for the Camelon striker.

Second goal came seven minute later. McMullan had the ball on right hand side of park. He played it over to the other side and Anderson shot from outside the box. Ally seemed to be transfixed as he never moved and the ball landed in the corner of the net for Camelon to move 2-0 ahead.

At this time, Camelon were all over Musselburgh who were finding playing against such a good team a struggle. On a rare move forward, Ewan Ralton had a chance to reduce the deficit, but his shot brought a good save from Shaw. On 32 minutes, Jackie Myles fouled outside the box. From the free kick, Anderson attempted to get his hat trick but Ally tipped the free kick over the bar.

With five minutes till have time, Musselburgh made their first substitution. After a kick in the knee, Gary Cherry was replaced by Liam Gregory.

Many of the fans were wondering how the score was only 2-0 at half time.Musselburgh had been completely outplayed. It would need a transformation for the match to change. Lots of Camelon forward runs came up from their left wing and Burgh had to tighten up on this side of the park.

At start of the second half Ewan was replaced by Nathan Evans. Almost straight away you could see more urgency from the home side. Whatever Kevin McDonald, (announced as permanent manager of Musselburgh during midweek), said in the dressing room; it seemed to have struck an accord.

Ten minutes into the half and Musselburgh were thrown a lifeline as the ref blew for a penalty after a challenge. From the spot, Conor Thomson hit the ball into the corner and Camelon were pegged back with the score now 2-1. Following the penalty, the left back, McGroary must have said something as he was booked. Jack Gillan was next in the book for a late challenge.

In 64 minutes, Herron had a chance to increase the away side’s lead, but his header just fell wide of the post. Up the other end, Nathan ran the ball into the corner, turned and played a great cross into the box, which McGroary cleared away from the goal line. Then Liam G played another great pass into the box. Nathan’s shot was cleared for a corner.

Anderson received a needless yellow card on 72 minutes. Camelon were on the attack, when the linesman put his flag up for offside. The attacker hammered the ball past the goal line and the ref brought out his card. This was followed by a flurry of cards issued by the referee. The centre half, Skinner was booked for speaking back to the ref. Then, Kevin McDonald, who had remonstrated before the previous attack, was called over and the result was that he was sent off. A couple of minutes later, Jackie was then booked for a tackle.

On 78 minutes, no.7 McMullan was subbed with his brother replacing him. A golden opportunity came in 83 minutes for Camelon to close end the contest. From the left wing, a ball came into the Musselburgh box. The centre forward connected with it, in the six yard box, but Michael Deland was there to block.

Final throw of the dice for the home side with five minutes left saw forward Scott Moffat replace defender Jack Gillan. With fans already leaving Olivebank, a move they would regret, Ally punted the ball up the field. Mathu King headed down to Liam G, then continued to run forward. Liam moved forward, looked up then floated a ball into the box. Who else, but Mathu is there to head the ball into the net and with three minutes left the match was level at 2-2 and heading into extra time.

However, with the match in the final minute, Camelon were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty box. From this, Ally managed to save a header from point blank save, then straight away, had to block another shot and the danger was saved. So from villain, in the first half, to hero at the end of the second half. This match had so many talking points and it wasn’t the end of these, as in the 3rd minute of injury time Musselburgh were awarded a penalty kick following a challenge on left hand side of the box.

From being hammered 2-0 in the first half, it looked like Musselburgh were going to be involved in a remake of the great escape with the chance of making it 3-2. However, the referee ran across the pitch for a confab with his linesman. The result of this was the decision was changed for offside!

A minute later, with Camelon on the attack, Jonno McManus was booked for a high tackle. From the free kick, Camelon had another chance to win the match, but Ally saved from Anderson.

Full time; 2-2 and the match moved into extra time.

Nothing of substance happened in the first period, but it was evident that the fast moving play of Camelon was nowhere to be seen and a number of players seemed to be tired on their feet.

In 2nd period, Camelon had the first chance to score again, with Anderson hitting a low free kick underneath the Burgh wall. Ally was there to save the ball. In 109 minutes, McGroary cleared the ball from the Camelon defence into the Musselburgh half. Liam Reid rose to head the ball, which came to Michael D, on the half way line.

As Michael ran down the left wing, he went by two Camelon players - check the video for yourself, but he may have nutmegged one of the defenders. Michael ran to the by-line. He cut back into the box, hit a neat ball into the six yard box and Scott Moffat was there to glance a header into the net and Burgh were in the lead for the first time in match.

Three minutes later; Skinner received his second yellow for a tackle on Scott. The Camelon defender was none to happy with the decision and he went off, talking out to a few as he went towards the dressing room. Then with around three minutes left, there was a stoppage with a bit of confusion with what was going on.

It looked like the referee sustained a calf injury and had to go off. One of the linesman took the whistle and a Musselburgh committee member took the line for the remaining minutes.

Into injury time and with an open goal, one of the Camelon attackers looked to have squared the match. But, somehow he managed to hit the post. Then a couple of minutes later, Camelon had the ball into the net, and the Away support were jumping for joy as penalties beckoned.

This was short-lived, though, as the referee blew for offside. A lot of the supporters then changed their mood; calling the Burgh linesman all the names under the sun. But they were blaming the wrong guy, as the referee had made his own mind up about the offside decision.

In the seconds after, Anderson received his second yellow and Camelon were down to nine men, (for the second time in two matches). Then the linesman called the referee over and the Burgh captain received a straight red card. This was for celebrating that the Camelon goal had been chalked off - a poor decision as this was done in the perimeters of the pitch!

Final score of this miraculous match was 3-2 to Musselburgh, after extra time. Even the finest of gamblers would not have handed over a penny at half time, hoping to make any profit, with Musselburgh making such a turnaround in the match.

Nevertheless, whilst the Camelon fans will have left Olivebank thinking, that was a cup tie they should of won, the Burgh fans left in jubilant fashion speaking amongst themselves about what the hell happened. And that is why, as said elsewhere, fans love football!!

The reward of this is a quarter final tie at home to either Penicuik or Linlithgow.

At least your biased lol. Good luck in next round

If it's a straight red card then presumably it's for using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures and therefore it doesn't matter if it was on the pitch or not. Was it the Musselburgh committee man that reported the captain to the referee?

Think it was for a fist pump. Not sure that warrants a red. When teams miss a penalty; you see players run up to celebrate with the keeper. I cant see any difference, and nothing happens in these situations?!

It was the official linesman who called the ref over to him.

According to the rules it is. We had a it sent off for that in junior cup semi.

 

I was talking about you saying your guy did nothing wrong and your linesman did nothing wrong. A neutral fan said it was a disgrace but these things go for you some against you. Good luck in next round

Fans can watch the same football match and come away with different opinions - some which you will agree with, some you won’t. This is true whether you speak to your own set of fans or supporters of the away team.

The Supporters club man of the match award on Saturday went to the keeper Ally Adams. My first thought was too much alcohol talking for that decision to be reached! Both Camelon goals came as a result of defensive errors, but a lot of fans, including me, laid the blame at Ally’s door. He got the angles all wrong for the first goal and appeared to make no attempt to go for the second. So why pick him?

I read the report last night for any errors and when reading it back, you can see Ally making a number of saves from the 2nd half onwards. He also had a part in Burgh’s second goal with his kick out which went to Mathu.

So after some reflection, maybe the supporters club decision was right enough.

It was the official linesman who called the ref over to him.

Man of the Match...Casey Jones.

Anyone who can even attempt to describe the 'entertainment' witnessed on Saturday deserves that accolade. 

I was slightly disappointed with the change of style in the last 7 or 8 games  from the last 25 years of being an attacking pass and running team to what we have now which can politely be described as...long ball but difficult to argue with the results even against very limited teams.

Massive surprise to see so many leaving before the end but their loss.

Still a chance for the league, guaranteed promotion and with a favourable draw could win a cup. All to play for.

You need to let this go Alan!  The (our) linesman had nothing to do with your goal being disallowed for offside!

Yip, the committee member raises his flag - but the referee makes the decision for himself.  If you think otherwise you are being a tad disingenuous with your comments, and makes your earlier comments of "Good luck in next round" less sincere!

Our linesman put his flag up in a previous game (when we had no officials) - the ref came over and told our linesman that his only role was to raise his flag for a throw in. The raising of the flag at any other time would be ignores!

The referee on Saturday would have had the same thoughts! Don't kid yourself if you believe otherwise.

Camelon guy in front of me was calling all the officials 'homers'! If that was the case; then, when we got the penalty in the last minute of the 90 minutes, the ref would have let it stood. If we score, we win 3-2 without extra time.

Instead, he ran over to the official linesman, heard what he had to say, and changed his mind and gave an offside decision against Musselburgh.

Camelon got beat fair and square. If your players had done their job properly, the match could have been finished after 45 minutes as you were absolutely pummelling us. But, going in only 2-0 must have given Musselburgh lots of confidence - so much that we beat you.

Wouldn't have said any of this, but you continue with your wee snide remarks; lol (as you like to quote).

Your arse mate the human physchy makes him think hes made a mistake so because your dick of a linesman put his flag up it throws doubt in his mind. From my understanding their was guys on the line when it was hit. YEs we should have been home and hosed. Even from the photos the penalty to bring it back shows it was dodgy all reports seem to suggest that.


if we get you in the league cup we will see what happens.

Wee trip down to the Borders today for a match against a team we have yet to play in the league. Four games left, two of which are away/home to Coldstream.  Musselburgh assured of a place in the top EoS league next season. Coldstream still have a chance to join us, albeit as a top 6 team.
