Broxburn keeper could've brought a rug and a picnic basket was hardly tested at all. Early days midweek trip to Perth next. Who knows ,a league that produces the odd shock scoreline one win might just spur the lads on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnae make it yesterday as I had to deliver the missus across to Fife but would have been interested to see how they followed up. This is what happened last season, all the pointless teams slowly got points and pulled away. Jeanfield are always decent at home.

Wi 5 possibly going down it's a gonnae take a massive effort to stay up. Early days yet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that..ive been thinking for a while that we were a team that didn't know how to lose to one that doesn't know how to win, a long period between them but thats just what we are now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was quite an epic turn around / or an epic throw away depending on your persuasion. Great game for a neutral visitor today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think ww wi 11 players wouldve held on for the win? Seem to be lacking a wee bit discipline here or is it experience as another game goes by without the full 11 on the park? Massive game against fellow strugglers LTHV next week,if we want to kick start the season that's a must win game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson has plenty of experience and few have more than Wayne and the Manager who was on the pitch. Throwing away leads, losing to 10 men, pumpings ... the result ends up the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams at the bottom simply lose the winning habit. Blackburn went into the game against Sauchie midweek as "favourites" with points on the board and they were poor. Sauchie, even with 10 men, looked like holding on to their win. Blackburn went into the game again as "favourites" but Whitehill dominated the first half. Two similar looking goals, clever work from the striker, Blackburn not at the races and Whitehill looking very good value for their lead. Second half Blackburn start a wee bit better and doubt starts to show in Whitehill's play. They had a huge chance of a 3rd with a near repeat of the move that saw the first two goals but blew it. It wasn't a dirty game but fouls creeping into Whitehill's game and some loss of discipline with a lot of dissent towards the officials. The red card was for a second yellow, looked a foul but maybe the ref had seen the boy foul a few times. Whitehill decide to hold on to their lead and drop deep and 87th minute Blackburn have a free kick and in front of the ref the full back hauls down the Blackburn centre half. The equaliser and winner were both very fine strikes from outside the area (I think!) giving the goalie no chance. A bit unreal but just had a sense of something could still happen even at 85 minutes and 2 down. Whitehill looked really decent the first half but FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) in the second, Blackburn with the brakes off at the end looked dangerous with waves of attacks. Some win for Blackburn and a very sore one for Whitehill to get over. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some win for Blackburn and a very sore one for Whitehill to get over. A good summary Pasty. We were rotten first half, poorest performance of the season and McIntosh continually caused us problems at the back. Second half we dominated more although only a great block kept us in it and stopped McIntosh getting a hattrick. Welfare gradually fell deeper and deeper and I commented that a goal would see them panic, then a sending off for a second yellow and a penalty with three minutes to go gave us that chance. Blackburn battered Welfare for the remaining minutes and two fantastic strikes gave us the three points that nobody expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has had more Managers than wins in recent seasons hopefully Kiddo can turn it around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some win for Blackburn and a very sore one for Whitehill to get over.Given the balance of play over the 90 (plus!) minutes I think a draw would have been a fair result had it finished 2-2 - the visitors held the whip hand for much of the first half while the hosts dominated proceedings after the break without creating too much in the way of clear cut chances until, of course, they created and took the ones they did, but even then they weren’t of the clear cut variety…..a penalty and two absolute belters from outside the area. The winner was worth the admission money alone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys work hard to keep things going and have kept churning away during COVID - new lights, ground improvements, sponsorship etc. Looks like the effort has taken its toll. Hopefully they'll get the support the club needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I suppose you can only have so much success before you need a new challenge. Hopefully people can step forward and save the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people can step forward and save the club. When a grumpy old man devoted his time morning noon and night to the club for nearly 60 years albeit his way or no way it just shows the amount of work he actually done for the club that went unnoticed. Must've been the manpower of half a dozen folk. A massive loss for the club. Hopefully get back on track when the club has its agm next month. There were at least some shoots of recovery on the park last week before collapsing in a 5 minute spell near the end. Onto today and a run of 3 home games. If can keep discipline hopefully a vital 3 points can be had against fellow strugglers LTHV to kick start the season. Mon the Welfare!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
