Bo'ness United 2019-2020


Recommended Posts

0-1 to Blackburn at halftime. Thought the BU's started well and were the better side. Then goalie Andy Murphy waited for a slow ball to reach his box, realised too late it wasn't happening and then tried to dribble a ball back into the box. Lost the ball and it's 0-1. After that Blackburn went into time wasting mode at every opportunity. Almost zero Fitbaw after that. Big second half. Hopefully we see Morgan come on to add some energy.

The BU's undefeated run in the league ended with a whimper. Goalie Andy Murphy the villain again. Why oh why do goalies think they can play football. Just punt it away, the fans don't expect any more.

Once that goal went in Blackburn settled in to "game management mode" and broke the game up at every opportunity. Blatant time wasting by Blackburn was with one exception consistently overlooked by the referee. Blackburn fans probably enjoyed watching it but as a BU fan it was increasingly frustrating. Just as annoying was the performance of the BU's today. Several of the players today we're below par and for an hour it looked like we were playing panic Fitbaw.

Blackburn in the last 15 should have scored at least 2 more on the break and IMO deserved their victory.

Fair do's but the referee did add 6 minutes by my watch in the second half. Not sure what he added in the first

Referee could have added 26 minutes and we still wouldn't have scored.

Would have given you more time to fetch the balls back from the Forth though 😉

Bizarrely Blackburn have beaten Bo'ness and Camelon and drawn with Hill o Beath. Much as the 3 points is very welcome it would have been even more valuable to have swapped it for a win over Whitehill Welfare last time out.

Anyway all the best, hope Keastie isn't out injuered again

He added approx. 2. Second half was a wee bit late in starting and by my timing added 5. The penalty incident and the theatrics by the Blackburn player near the end. What Dave says is probably true.
