Casey Jones Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Great result on Saturday, getting Burgh into next month’s Alex Jack cup final! About time we put our cup form, into our league matches. Saturday is a huge match for Musselburgh with Jeanfield Swifts visiting Olivebank. Hope we get another big crowd through the gates to cheer the team on! MTB! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Jones Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Beat Jeanfield today and we could move up 3 positions in the league. Lose and we will probably be in the bottom three! All matches currently feel like cup finals! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Well beat today but Jeanfield were pretty shameless. No point in getting upset about the result because we were well beat but when you're still trying to get players sent off when you've got the game won.... Bad crack.

We were beaten by a much better side today, but the guy who went down pole-axed when Nathan received a straight red deserved a smack in the goolies!! He stayed down for a minute; then the ref calls on their physio. Just as he approaches, the guy gets up and walks away, you can see there was hee-haw wrong with him! A yellow card, at minimum, should be awarded to these charlatans!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took in this match today as I was in the area. Curious to know exactly what you mean by your comments as from what I saw there was no dubiety over the Musselburgh red cards. I would have sent off the Jeanfield player involved in the second Musselburgh red card but other than that I’m not sure we were at the same game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the Jeanfield player made the most of it but a tackle where your foot is rib high should be considered out of control and worthy of a red card. Musselburgh were dreadful in defence and going forward were a force until the red cards. Myles was also lucky to only get a yellow card for a poor challenge. Only my views though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbo Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 From my position behind the goal it did look a bad challenge for the first red but all depends on refs decision. Second decision was too far away as I just saw our player on the ground. Musselburgh were actually the better team after the red cards Ref didn't have best of games missing a stone wall penalty for Swifts just after the opening goal. Good win for us. Been threatening for a few games to score a lot of goals but not been getting the breaks. Hopefully kick on from now. I took in this match today as I was in the area.

RobM Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) The boys reaction after Jackie Myles challege was laughable, Jackie was booked for it but the Jeanfield guy's histrionics were ludicrous, physio was laughing after he'd been on to treat him amidst a fair old bit of rolling around and holding his shin, Jeanfield wanted to dish it but were happy to play the victims when it went the other way, cynical stuff.

OliveBankie Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Surely McDonald’s position must be in question. 7 defeats from 9 league games is a dismal record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 And a cup final and a lower budget at the moment than most. Name anybody better? He's still the right man for the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was side on to the challenge and whilst it maybe didn’t comment it was wild and out of control. Second red from my point of view was justified but only responding to Jeanfield players kick. Your 23 was man of the match for me - only denied a hat trick by the teams chosen penalty taker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending off was as it was. My grumble is guys feigning injury and lying on ground when there is nothing wrong with them. It is cheating and doesn’t look good from that point of view. I agree with you today - Musselburgh’s defence was awful. My main grumble is that we had no fight. If everyone played like Jackie who didn’t have a great game - but he shows he cares about the team) we might not have got beat 6-3. My view - Jackie’s tackle was worse than Nathan’s. We got beat by a better team - simple. Getting 3 goals - and we could have got more; usually will win you a match. Sadly, not the way we are playing today. Jeanfield are best side we have faced this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the no. 10 was man of match. Laid on goals and controlled midfield. On that performance, regardless how good/bad Musselburgh were, I am surprised Jeanfield were so far down league before start of this match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy Myles hit rolled over about twenty times - poor form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
