In 1968, on the 27th,  Bathgate Thistle were in town for a League match but were sent packing 6-0.  The team was:  Crawford, McGuinness, McCandless, McMeechan, Thomson, McQueen, Bernard, McDonald, McGuire, J Sneddon, Watson.  The goals came from Brian Watson, doubles by  Benny McGuire and Joe McMeechan and one from Tony McCandless. 

Saw Brian Watson the other day in the High Street. He was a very quick player in his day and can still walk fast as witnessed.

The first BU era I watched the team. Remember most of them

The 28th of January, 1989 saw a League visit to Bonnyrigg Rose and the BU's returned with a point in a 1-1 draw.  The team was :  Kirkwood, Dunleavie (Grant), Fisher, G McLennan, McLean, Ewing, Shields, Dalton, Cowan, Hamilton, McLaughlan.

Steve Cowan netted for the BU's.

A wee teaser from recent times.  Who scored a hat-trick on this day against Lochore Welfare in 2006?

For the 29th, I'll take you back to 1955 and a home League match against a side no longer with us.  Alva Albion Rangers took a few heavy beatings against the BU's and in a season where we won the League and they finished 2nd bottom, the 10-0 score-line wasn't a great shock. 

The team was:  Ronald, Mitchell, Blackwood, Hogg, Boyd, McBlain, Scott, McMahon, Harrower, Hunter, McKeown and the goals came from 4 doubles from McKeown, McMahon, Harrower and Scott.  One from Hunter and an own-goal.

When are the real highlights coming?

Such as:

Linlithgow winning the league at Newton Park  from 2-0 down  with 3 goals in the last 5 minutes..!!

Scottish Cup Semi at Almondvale - losing 2-0 to the Rose

Getting kicked out the Scottish

The numerous defeats in local cups to Linlithgow

Oh don't worry, there'll be special celebratory days when then actually did ever manage to beat us in a meaningful game....

What about when the rose had two players sent off (carr ots and Logan the goalie if I recall) in a Scottish tie down at Newton and still managed to win!

How about one of your fans getting off their behinds to research your club's history.  I don't see why I should be giving you any crumbs of comfort.

No, someone more obscure than that.


Stevie Ballantyne?

Would’ve been the season we beat Queens Park but lost to Buckie in the big Scottish. Trying to think who all played back then.

Why not start your own Linlithgow History thread for this pish instead of coming on polluting this one with your tedious crap?
