cookieboy Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 4 hours ago, NL Observer said: Not at all. I`m pretty sure you get my point however continue to pick holes in what i am trying to put across. Expectations from committees/ boards/ supporters are set at the start of the season and in my opinion are primarily based on budgets available to the manager. You cant expect Hearts and Hibs to go toe to toe with the Old Firm as they simply cant compete financially. I personally feel it would be unreasonable to have that expectation. Not one person would have expected Newtongrange to win the league this year. The reason being they simply wouldn't have the budget for it, not because of the management team they had. Surely the seasons goal for Newtongrange would be survival, and if they exceed that they could compete within the mid-top end of the table. With all this in mind Newtongrange are effectively on par with where they should have been expected to be. I do get your point but I do not have a clue what my teams budget is or any of the other teams in the league and I’m almost certain neither does anyone that is my point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 EoS Premier Division Blackburn United 1-4 Newtongrange Star Camelon Juniors 3-1 Sauchie Juniors Crosgates Primrose 2-2 Dunbar United Dundonald Bluebell P-P Jeanfield Swifts Hill of Beath Hawthorn 1-2 Bo'ness United Whitehill Welfare 0-1 Tranent Juniors Bo'ness were trailing 1-0 until equalising at 79 mins. Then grabbed the win with a second goal at 88 mins. Potentially vital 3 points denying HoB points and keeping some distance from Camelon and Tranent who won today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Rejigged defence due to injury was exploited by Star today. Had two U20's who played the full 90 last night come off the bench with another unused due to lack of personnel compared to last week, that said Star deserved the win and took full advantage. A disappointingly dreich day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wi nearing end of November and big black skies throughout the day I'd imagine many non floodlit games were struggling towards a 3.40 ish finish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I would imagine that the usual Dunbar posters are too upset to post this but it has been confirmed on the club's Twitter feed. Club secretary Malcolm Jones was taken ill at yesterday's game and unfortunately has passed away. I knew Malcolm for a number of years. He was very hardworking for the club, from doing the administration work behind the scenes to helping sweep out dressing rooms (both at home and away) after the match. He was always generous whenever I attended Dunbar matches, you never really saw him get rattled by adverse results or decisions and of the tributes I've seen from other clubs so far he was very well liked. He will certainly be missed very much at New Countess Park. RIP Malcolm and thank you for everything 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belter1 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Really nice guy and something that always stuck with me was he paid into games at Tranent when clearly he didn’t need to being on the committee. Was always pleasant when visiting Dunbar aswell. Thoughts are with his family 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be 1.45 back when City played in the EOS at grounds with no lights- meant you were in the pub early on a Saturday afternoon or if the game was off you could get to Tynie or Easter Road instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali_Wee_Jag Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Heard Whitehill v Tranent finished in the dark? Anyone there?!? How were the other 2KO non floodlit games?Given the circumstances at Humbug Park, I can confirm it was dull, drizzly, wet and getting darkish by the time the ref blew the final whistle. But by then, no-one was paying much attention. I was up on main road awaiting the ambulances. Sad day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
