Scuzz Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hopefully we'll have supporters back in next season and these guys, and the others from that side, can present the EOS Premier Division trophy to the fans as a kind of send off. They certainly deserve one. Both fantastic players with over 600 matches played between them for us and like you say it would be good to see them back at Newtown soon. Absolutely, and won’t be easily replaced. Ross comes as a bit of a surprise as I think he probably still had a couple of years left in him. Wish both all the best though and hopefully they’ll be back at Newtown fairly often as fans. Speaking of fans; given both Will and Ross’s years of service, it’s an absolute stinker that neither are getting to see out a season and say their final farewells in front of the BU faithful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BU_Brian Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Agree entirely 8Mile, there cannot be many players in Scotland, let alone the East, that ply their trade with one club for so long. Best compliment I can give Will, he is hated by every team he ever played against. Fans only hate opposition players that hurt them ... reeeespect Will. Ref Ross: I have obviously misread the guys age. I thought some of the games from last season, he was outstanding. quick, great in the air and with Big Stuart beside him, seemed so assured. A big loss. I wish them both well. very decent chaps. very decent. Ref my Brian Leaving. Guys, he has just had his first child, wants to spend more time "in the house". Moving down a league, with the away games being more local and the village of Crossgates 5 mins from his house, will allow him to do that. Personally, my time at Newton Park is filled with great afternoons and, unfortunately, no afternoons. My only regret, I didn't get along, like you all, to watch them this season.. a right stinker. Guys, your committee are very hard working and brilliant with visiting fans. Makes for a very enjoyable afternoon for all. Reeeeespect to them. wee shout out for Jen. The fans: pure mental. the noise, the support, the sheer numbers ... home and away... brilliant guys, just brilliant. The fans really do the club proud... total reeeespect. As for you reprobates that patrol the P&B.. hahahaha. Brilliant. knowledgeable, very..very funny, have your point and you stick to it .. and for me, guys, probably your best attribute.. you never slag the team, the committee, the club. I love that. Yeah, wee moans .. only human .. but if the team gets beat.. and we all know they give their all every week ... then the better team has one. The team: one of the hardest working teams I have ever seen. never give up. finishing 7th (4 points behind Gala with 2 games in hand) in the first season in the LL. A simply fantastic achievement. Guys.. a massive round of applause to each and every one off you. I wish you all well. Lastly, The management team... guys were brilliant and Ian and Max.. great pairing who managed to get every ounce of energy from the guys on the pitch. Very astute and clever before and during the games. keep it going guys. Gents, it has been my absolute privilege and pleasure to have ... sort of .. got to know you. Next season, Cup games maybe .. I am going to seek you all out ... love to finally put some faces to the names. Gents, be safe and take care. ... C'mon the BUs 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Will Snowdon and Ross Campbell have been excellent. They gave their all. The BU's won't look (or sound) the same without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Average age of players has now certainly reduced, with Nimmo, Snowdon and Campbell going. Hope Max brings in some 'legs ' for next season, as our greatest frailty is lack of pace.Jambo, Nimmo 32, Snowdon 38, Campbell 34 all retired. Do you think big Stuart Hunter 39 and midfield mauler Michael Gemmell 34 will sign up for next season ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Went on the Transfermarket website for the ages of the players. Lists the arrivals and departures season by season. You often forget how many players the BU's have churned through. Season 2011/12 in particular was super busy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon the BUs Just tell yer laddie that you’re sorry but you’re a BU now and you’re going to keep coming to our games. He’s a big boy, he’ll be fine with it. Plus the BU thread won’t be the same without your frequent thoughts, opinions and positivity! Last of all, you have to admit - Crossgates_Brian sounds shite compared to BU_Brian! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Having read online the Journal interview with Max Christie about the signing it sounds encouraging. Article also says Max is in discussions with numerous players. #InMaxWeTrust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Ewan Moyes , centrehalf was signed from Bonnyrigg in January. I presume he will be playing next season. Moyes also an ex-Hibee..... I am sure Jamboness doesn't care. Once they don the Blue and White, Jamboness says "they're all right" . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hibs teach “being an arsehole” before they teach football. An endless production line of bellends in Leith. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boheesian Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Think it was inevitable that a number of the ‘veterans’ would be hanging up their boots. A big thanks to them all, Will, the Essex boy who loved chatting to Refs. ‘Big Hunts’ who came out of retirement in our hour of need and Ross the other half of the centre back partnership, remember his hatrick. Maybe some mileage left in Michael and Dougie’s legs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Haven't heard that Stuart's retiring. Think it was inevitable that a number of the ‘veterans’ would be hanging up their boots.

Deanburn Dave Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Haven't heard that Stuart's retiring. Big Hunter at 39 hopefully will still be at the BU next season. He is a battler and a winner. Be a sad day when he hangs up his well worn boots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
