HibeeJibee Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Lothian Thistle HV 2-2 Musselburgh Athletic Glorious evening in deepest Pilton. Both sides deserved to leave with a share of the spoils IMO - but in their own way each will think they should have taken all 3pts. Goals have been posted above so no need to describe them. LTHV were better early-on, then 'Burgh took control (aided by their opponents fragility defending corners), but went down to 10-men around 30mins and then 9-men with perhaps 15-mins left. 'Man of the Match' for me was #14 for Musselburgh. He almost physically beat and dragged his defence through to that 1pt. Extremely erratic performance from the referee and standside linesman. That said the penalty was correct and if any yellows were for dissent no argument. Visitors will regret going down to 9-men to begin with. Hosts will regret being unable to break 9-men down. For us neutrals no regret at decent entertainment. Edited July 16, 2021 by HibeeJibee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it reasonable to expect the couple of guys on their committee who seem to be driving to keep digging on their own? I hope Kevin Haynes has the work ethic of Mr Jones. It’s a tough battle getting players to go to Dunbar even with the draw of the Premier League and the Scottish No won is putting money in to the club. Interesting to note that the chair thinks by building a new stand,it will attract players to the club. Don't quite get that cos despite having excellent facilities,it is what you give players in the wee brown envelope that gets them on board,anyway the board are doing some good things and some not so good things,but they at least trying and maybe a bit naive in some areas. As I say we might not be entirely happy at how this has been handled, but,time to get behind the manager and the team and hope they get a good start as we don't want a similar start as last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Despite the scoreline not much between Broxburn and Penicuik today. Two very late goals put the shine on it for Cuikie. First half not much in it, a good save from a free kick by the Penicuik keeper and a goal bound shot headed over were Broxburn’s best effort’s and a smart breakaway goal had Cuikie leading 1-0 and halftime. Second half Broxburn probably the better side early on missed a couple of really good chances and scored a freak goal (sure it was meant as a cross) to level. Penicuik then scored against the run of play with about 15-20 to play. They cruised it from there and added two late goals to seal an excellent opening day win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I think a few things a little naive. Everyone seems to be behind Kevin Haynes. The chair , as I understand, is only there as nobody else wanted to take it on. Not really a football man, clearly a smart guy who has made a lot of money but as you say sometimes a little naive on what will attract good players to the club. They have done well do bring in Kevin Haynes who has been successful everywhere he has been. The challenge will be bringing good players to the club, they have a good base to build from … Edited July 17, 2021 by RedLichty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young and learning granted, but I never saw him make a decision all night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally Ifind the offside rule changes a bit frustrating - - - waiting until the ball is out of action. Why?? If its clearly offside, stop the play. I'm struggling to find any benefits, but lots of issues associated to this rule change. Edited July 18, 2021 by YoungSouthcroft . -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
