Nittenrab Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Whitburn 4 v 0 Edinburgh College A much better E.C performance against Whitburn compared to the first meeting, especially the 1st half 0 v 0. With E.C already 6 men out & including a few U20's and not including the 2 guys involved in an car accident on the M8 rushing thru for a 7.15pm kick off. Best to write this one off and move onto Saturday's Bathgate game and continue with their vast improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Tuesday 10th August 2021 Whitburn 4-0 Edinburgh College Whitburn now breathing down leaders necks. Saturday 14th August 2021 Bathgate Thistle v Edinburgh College Fauldhouse United v West Calder United Pumpherston v Bo'ness Athletic Syngenta v Armadale Thistle Whitburn v Stoneyburn Syngenta v Armadale is tomorrow's big ticket item in Conference X. Bo'ness will be keen for points away to Pumpherston while at the bottom Bathgate and Edinburgh College seek another win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Saturday 14th August 2021 Bathgate Thistle 3-1 Edinburgh College Fauldhouse United 3-4 West Calder United Pumpherston 2-7 Bo'ness Athletic Syngenta 2-0 Armadale Thistle Whitburn 3-2 Stoneyburn Syngenta, Bo'ness Athletic and Whitburn all won again. West Calder followed suit as did Bathgate who vault up the table. Stoneyburn are still searching for their first victory. Various people were telling me before the season began that Fauldhouse was among the favourites to win this conference but their difficult start continues and they have 5pts from possible 18 and sit 3rd-bottom above Edinburgh College and Stoneyburn. Indeed they haven't won since opening day. Wheels come off or was that always an exaggeration? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Money talks. Bo'ness Athletic and Syngenta appear to have spent wisely.The Hoose must regret their decision not to leave the Juniors earlier with the BU's, Linlithgow Rose etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously fairly concrete hopes along those lines are harboured. Tbf still got 80% of league season to come, so not like 10pt deficit is insurmountable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syngenta unbeaten look like favourites but can you discount Bo'ness after losing the opening game they've taken 7 goals of fauldhouse, Whitburn and Pumpherston plus 9 off St.Andrews. Looks like their biggest problem will be keeping hold of their strikers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager was very bullish pre season, all his signings were ex SPFL stars from the West. For me Syngenta are the surprise package, Bo'ness Ath already looked to have potentiial last season. I thought Whitburn, Armadale and West Calder would be tough nuts to crack too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having played both , Syngenta spray the ball about really well from back to front, Boness have the better strike power the boy Sinclair having scored 16 already constantly scoring hatricks so i reckon Boness will shade it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) On 09/08/2021 at 16:39, Ginaro said: To answer my own question, Fauldhouse and Livi have been moved to the following Saturday and West Calder's cup game to midweek. Bathgate still down as playing on the Friday night, next day they are at home to Vale of Leven in the Junior Cup... Final update to my own question - it would seem that Bathgate have withdrawn from the Junior Cup as they are still down to play Bo'ness on Friday and Vale of Leven's website has it listed as a walkover.

Rossi1990 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Entertaining game at Pumphy tonight. Finished 2-2. Thought Pumphy deserved the 3 points but good game to watch. Ref lost the plot 2nd half by sending off fauldhouse player. Not got a clue why. 2 more seemingly followed after final whistle. Seen the ref at a few games and he’s been hopeless at everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them a few times now. Always find it weird they sub their captain no 8 Mikey? every game even though he’s their best player most games when he’s playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
