Jambo'ness Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Back to 1954 now and an R L Rae Cup-tie at home to Bonnyrigg Rose. The BU's crushed their opponents 7-0 with this team: Ronald, Mitchell, McKeeman, Wood, Boyd, McBlain, Scott, McMahon, Donnelly, McKeown, Aitken. The great Alex Scott scored four, Andy McBlain hit a double and Hugh McMahon got the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Today also sees a match that the Journal headline reports as "United's Finest Hour". Can any of you work out what match that is and then tell me who the 'keeper was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be a game v the wee rose at prestonfield in 1976 where BU won 2-1 that ended Linlithgows long unbeaten run,and would this be the game Wullie Ferguson saves 2 penalties in the space of a minute?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 5 hours ago, boness4ever said: Ian Miller at Arthurlie? You've got it. Below is an excerpt from an article in the Journal on the game. "Bo'ness United, this was your finest hour. Forget the 9-0 victories of yesteryear, forget the cup victories of the past, beyond any question, United played a defensive game which would have done justice to the famous "iron curtain" set-up at Ibrox after the war. Facing great adversity, no regular goalkeeper, centre-forward Mitchell calling off hours before the tie, Scobie being sent off, McIntosh being carried off, Bo'ness marshaled a defence which was magnificent. Playing a major role, stop-gap 'keeper Ian Miller was tremendous, he saved one penalty and scored with another to match the same feat he performed a fortnight ago against Penicuik and a feat which I doubt has ever been performed before in Scottish football at any level. According to reports, the McQueens, McGuinness, McGeachie and Robinson played like heroes. Regarding the Scobie sending off, the decision was considered doubtful to say the least." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
