Bo'ness United 2019-2020


Recommended Posts

Black Dug,

The Morgan sending off was a second yellow.       I got the impression that Morgan thought he had been fouled and as he fell on the ground he grabbed the ball expecting the award of a freekick in his favour.   You see that presumption being made by players every week on the TV.     The ref didn't see anything wrong with the initial challenge and didn't blow for the foul so it was adjudged to be a hand ball.    I thought it was a clear foul on Morgan and he was unlucky.

To win games like that when you’re not playing well is a good sign, the tenacity shown by Bo’ness was excellent, however the play at times was poor, Dev MOTM for me, you have to give Hunter a mention for his 2 goals and Keasty made an impact when he came on. First half the passing was slack and it cost Bo’ness, but the tenacity in the last 20 minutes paid off.

Big congrats to Andy Murphy on his 100th start, may have conceded 3 but couldn't say he was at fault for any of them and did well to marshall his area between the equaliser and full time. Hes some keeper and we're lucky to have him!

 

Well said. Hope he’s our goalie for many years to come.

 

 

The ref didn't see anything wrong

 

Don’t think he seen much right either! Seen far worse refs but as per usual there were quite a few poor decisions. Probably didn’t help much with the enclosure side linesman being unable to keep up in-line with play the whole game so can understand the ref making the decisions for him. At the same time though, I often wonder what level/league clubs need to get to to play in games where the linesman are trusted and don’t have most of their calls made by or overruled by the ref.

What about the strike from  Dev for the first goal. Better than the one at the nitten? 

Dev said it was, when in the United Club afterwards.

What a game!  Any neutral would have lapped that up with relish.  Mussy will wonder how they came to lose that game but once again the team spirit and the never say die attitude shone through.  Apart from his goal Dev was superb for 90 minutes and Ryan had a good game when switched to wing back.  Hunter was great up front, less so at back and a big shout to the 3 subs who all made a big difference.

On the sending-off of Morgan, that 2nd yellow was a joke but the ref, his cousin, couldn't get the card out quick enough.  Perhaps we can thank the ref.  His incompetence galvanised the team for the finish!

So that is how the ref gave you three goals that VAR would have disallowed!!

Two by big game ( what a head he must have) Hunter for being TOO tall!! Then the third goal cause that drew you level with us!!

surely you can see that was favouritism by the ref!!

Thought we deserved something from the match, but no denying that when Bo’ness go down to 10 or 9 men, your team battle right to the end!

Not impressed by your asst manager and his antics! Looks an okay guy but he needs some kind of ‘calming’ medicine before a match, or else his head and flapping arms are going to explode!

You cannot help yourself Alan!! Still bitter about getting beat in two cups last year, the first of which your team blew-it as you were so much in control!

Most of the above is a joke, but maybe humour is not allowed in Camelon? 

The comment about the asst manager, who is there in an official capacity for Bo’ness, was not a joke and he should be embarrassed by his actions last night.

Hopefully we will have paid linesmen at our matches this season, but if not, as team linesmen are volunteers, I will get our announcer to get you to come and ‘vet’ our guy next time to ensure he/she meets your approval!

Far better, instead of running onto a pass he had to first win it, then place his shot from a standing position. Absolutely mad that the top two goal of the season contenders so far are from Dev, wouldnt have believed you if you'd said it at the start of the season.

Thank God for that. I'll bring my breathalyser lol

Absolutely mad that other BU players don’t shoot on sight like that more often!
