FairWeatherFan Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 EoS First Division Conference A Heriot-Watt University 3-0 St Andrews United Lothian Thistle HV 3-1 Leith Athletic Oakley United 3-2 Burntisland Shipyard EoS First Division Inter-Conference: Conf A v. Conf B Haddington Athletic 5-0 Preston Athletic Peebles Rovers 0-3 Coldstream EoS First Division Inter-Conference: Conf B v. Conf A Stirling University (EoS) 0-1 Kinnoull LTHV do themselves, and near enough of half of the league, a favour with their win over Conference leaders Leith. Having had so many games in hand over their rivals Kinnoull lie in wait in 7th and only miss out on 6th place just now on goal difference. Could they end up topping the table in 2020 or will it be too much for them I wonder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Massive month for them now... St Andrews (A), Heriot-Watt Uni (H), Edinburgh Utd (H), Inverkeithing (A), plus a cup-tie v Penicuik. Decent haul of points and they're definite contenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well deserved win today for LTHV against Leith who had a man sent off first half that ultimately may have been their undoing. The league is well up for grabs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attended Tynie game... far better side just couldn’t take their chances. LTHV physical side without any real stand outs. If they win league will be the worst side to do so in a long time. Wide open though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended game too and LTHV at least matched Tynie 1st half, are down to the bare bones in personnel and kept going for 90+ mins on a huge pitch. They are a young side with a few loan signings and their coaches deserve a lot of credit - one defeat in over 10 competitive games. I thought their keeper was excellent, the 2 centre backs marshalled Smith, the prolific goalscorer, well until the last 20 minutes when he came alive via a penalty. The c/f led the line well and the midfield at least matched Tynie. On being physical, Tynie could have 2 players sent off on another day, including their goalkeeper. I don't recollect a dirty LTHV challenge. Opinions, eh. FWIW, I was disappointed in Tynie considering they're steamrolling everyone and would suggest Conference A has a much better group of teams.

Hadn’t seen much of Tynie due to work commitments this year and had only gone by results and league table, but I thought they played LTHV off the park and as you say they’re goalkeeper had an excellent game. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTHV keeper didn't have a save to make the whole first half. TFC could of had 3 sent off, the goalie definitely should have had a straight red. That and LTHV almost scored straight from the kickoff when Cummings rounded the TFC keeper. Not sure we were watching the same game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynie battered them from start to finish but just couldn’t take their chances. I’m sure both clubs recorded the game also, I look forward to hearing from you after viewing highlights of what was a one sided contest but fair play to LTHV for grinding it out and stealing a draw! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there as a neutral. You are talking nonsense. I think if most were asked leaving the ground who they thought deserved to win they may have said Tynie, but they'd give LTHV a huge amount of credit for their never say die attitude, going 3 at the back with 7 minutes to go and sending a C/H upfront. A "battering" is a ridiculous assessment. I've given multiple reasons why a draw was a fair result, yet you've suggested nothing to make me reconsider. I think all can see who's wearing the "tinted specks" -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Part of the reason that Tynecastle were able to put together such a good run was who they have played so far. 10 of the 14 Conference B games have come against the bottom half clubs. x2 Arniston Rangers (12th), Easthouses Lily MW (11th), x2 Tweedmouth Rangers (10th). Hawick Royal Albert United (9th), x2 Stirling University EoS (8th), x2 Coldstream (7th). So it is only going to get harder for them within their own Conference. Saturday should be a game to watch as it's Leith Athletic v. Tynecastle. I'm sure a lot of Conference A clubs will be hoping that Tynecastle bounce back and win that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
