LongTimeLurker Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hope the unwelcome lodgers fold soon but it is mildly amusing that the Real BUs vs Atletico BUs patter on here appears to have helped inspire their name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their purse even announced their name by posting it with a DiCaprio meme like it was some kind of achievement.

Aye, well done mate! Looking forward to a Bo'ness derby one day. Maybe in the South Challenge cup or EOS cup.

ETA: For avoidance of doubt I have absolutely no problem with anyone who might be a fan of that club and I’m too mature and too old for that sort of behaviour.

Legless Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Gemmell and Hunts a big miss for passion and the team spirit of the last couple of seasons. Missing Campbell, Dev, etc! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Dalbeattie Star were fitter, quicker, better organized and more physical. Tallest 5 outfield players were all Dalbeattie guys and the BU struggled at set pieces at both ends. Dalbeattie were far more direct and threatening than the BU powderpuff attack. We were very lucky that we only lost that by a goal. No doubt the BU line will be we could have snatched an equaliser but the reality today was we should have been dead and buried in the first hour. A beautiful day spoiled by the Fitbaw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Have LL standards gone up ?Just if you had drawn Gala or Dalbeattie in the Scottish cup 3 or 4 years ago you would have been a near cert to beat them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolly Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 You are correct Legless, where is the team spirit of the last few seasons? Campbell, Dev retired too early, Hunts hit with the virus and Gemmell?? Was he injured today?The excuse of new players has limited mileage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Dalbeattie and Gala have always been pretty good at picking up random points when written off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo'ness were very good in the juniors under McGonigal in his first spell, also Baikie pulled together a very good squad that could have gone all the way. But there's been no decent investment in the club in the last few seasons, points needed on the board asap so max better open his purse strings pronto 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legless Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Signed a lot of players from the league below, which those players didn’t look like getting out of. These players replaced players that were able to challenge in this league and won the league below, it’s pretty self explanatory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
