Legless Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, Jambo'ness said: In the first half Comrie was outstanding, always available and showed nifty footwork when under pressure. The sending off was a deserved one and its timing couldn't have been better. With 11 men I am sure they would have piled in at the start of the 2nd half but instead had to modify their tactics. Although Murphy had little to do, a lot of that can be attributed to Skinner in the middle of the defence, whose interceptions and tackling were top notch. Anderson really set the cat amongst the pigeons with strong, direct running and our goal was overdue. A thoroughly deserved win and you always know when Gemmell is doing well when the opposition fans boo his every touch. Spot on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legless Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Highlight of the night for me were McCormack and Max taking the piss out of the angry mob of home fans that were berating Boness as they walked of for halftime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legless Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The angry mob were using every profanity they could think of to abuse Gemmell(which to be fair was very limited as the most intelligent of the mob looked like he had the IQ of a flip flop), McCormack was laughing at them and questioned the parentage of a particularly loud dense chap wearing spectacles and Max gave them his views on independence, this succeeded in offending a support who liked to dish it out but became very sensitive when it was highlighted how moronic they were! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boness4ever Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 After 15 minutes,I feared the worst,but after we settled,we were the better team,the red card made a difference, although Craig Comrie could also have seen red,all round good showing,with MOTM Danny Galbraith,but Zander looks a shadow of the player he can be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought when Anderson came on he gave something that had been missing all night, he was taking players on and going past them, he wasn’t pushed off the ball, he was putting decent balls in the box and making the keeper work and at one point showed that although carrying a bit timber he has bags of pace! Prior to him coming on Boness we’re the better side but without really threatening. All about opinions and no doubt mine will upset some sensitive souls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, his performances the last 4 games (only 1 starting) have provided a strength middle to front that Boness have been lacking since Alan MacKenzie left. In my opinion! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boheesian Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Is tomorrow’s match a local derby? It’s the closest we’re going to get one but will it give us that bit of needle you get from a BU v Rose match? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Three wins on the bounce would no doubt do nicely regardless. Would be easier for a rivalry to develop if the Shire were a well supported club their community cares passionately about. I used to watch them quite a bit back in the 1980s and Denis Healey's phrase about being savaged by a dead sheep comes to mind on that score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 East Stirlingshire are probably going to be our closest rivals for a few seasons. Don't expect to see the wee rose anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Sure that the supporters club will soon be looking to gauge numbers for the trip to Wick. It won't be cheap. Worth mentioning that the SINGLE train fare is £32. That leaves 6.20 at Linlithgow and after 2 changes gets you to Wick at 4 minutes before KO !! And there appears to be no train back....which added to Sunday train strikes means it's the bus or car that's the only option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if still the case but you had to make sure you were on the right end of the train as one half disengaged at Wick and the other half went on to Thurso without stopping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
