Despite being no spring chicken he’d be a great signing for most Lowland League teams and definitely any EOS side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I don't know what's happened between Michael and the manager but Max has been with the BUs for two and a half years and Michael has played in the vast majority of the games where he has been available. The 19/20 season he missed a spell but I can't remember if he had an injury or what. Last season Michael played in all 13 games. Whatever's going on it's sad to lose such a great player for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for everyone to settle down. No player or manager is bigger than the club. This situation along with many others has happened countless times over the years and is soon forgotten, lets move on and get behind the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true? So far, all we have is rumours and hearsay. Might be true, I don't know. If it is true, time to look forward and we have a player at the club who has shown for the last two years that he can play in Michael's position and add something to the role and that is Craig Comrie. He has been showing great form and even has a goal or two in him, which I am sure Michael would agree was not his strong suit. Michael has been a great servant and I hope his connection with the club isn't ending on a sour note but if so, the King is dead, long live the King! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it was always going to happen, but I think most of us feel Michael still had plenty in the tank and plenty to offer the team. A master of “the dark arts” and a guy who just makes others around him play better. 10 hours ago, Pennelton Percy said: Needs sorted. Christie appears to be treating Stevenson the same way. Completely disagree. Stevenson is a real opinion divider amongst BU supporters but for me he has never played consistently well, nailed down a position and made himself a certain starter. I also certainly don’t think Max has any agenda other than to make Bo’ness a winning side. As much as we’re a team in a period of transition, until such time that we are absolutely terrible or getting cuffed every week, I am fully behind Max.

Denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity is supposed to be the yardstick on that. That's most likely to apply in or around the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 It wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity and therefore shouldn't have been a red card IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Apparently the red was because the ref deemed it a challenge using excessive force. If anything Jamie McC came in at the same time and his challenge was more severe. It wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity and therefore shouldn't have been a red card IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Excessive force ? my erse. The Celtic B player who screamed when tackled was up and running within seconds of the red card. Referee was conned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 I didn't realise unil that post that Chris Graham was the referee on Saturday. He was the stupid cnut who was at fault in the infamous BU v Blantyre Vics game. He probably was desperate to give a BU player a red card on Saturday as payback for the rightful criticism he received for his handling of that debacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
