Personally Ifind the offside rule changes a bit frustrating - - - waiting until the ball is out of action. Why?? If its clearly offside, stopo the play. I'm struggling to find and benefits, but lots of issues associated to this rule change.

That (not waiting to belatedly flag) does still happen regularly from what I’ve seen.

Not sure what rule change you are on about, certainly no changes at this level. Only when there is VAR in use does an assistant delay their flag if it's a tight decision and the attacker is going towards goal, so that if there is a goal scored the offside decision can be checked. Nothing worse than onside goal being flagged offside when there's VAR available to check it...

As for the decision in this game, it does look like the player is offside - however the camera is about 5m ahead of the last defender and as we've seen in the age of VAR and hawkeye, camera angles can be deceiving so it's maybe not as far offside as it looks. The assistant seems to be in line with the last defender at least.

Not quite sure in the thinking of having Haws, Swift’s, Crossgates and even Dundonald all playing away at same time. Would have popped along to one of them tonight if at home. Rosyth it is then.

Same could be said about all the Lothian teams being at home tonight?

Dunbar, Tranent, Musselburgh, Newtongrange, Whitehill and Penicuik.

We are a week into the season and yer having a go at the fixtures secretary already. Wow.

Just be thankful there's games taking place and there's a full list (hopefully) to look forward to right through to May.

And dont forget there will presumably be the reverse fixtures taking place at some point in the season.

I am thankful that these games are on Kenny McLean does a wonderful job getting the fixtures. Although this card tonight has teams all over the place. I can understand not wanting the most local game but we are having to battle through rush hour traffic to come to Whitehill. Same for Sauchie going to musselburgh and Broxburn to Dunbar

Dunbar United 2-1 Broxburn Athletic

Sunny if breezy night in East Lothian, and a good crowd - about 180 by my reckoning - turned out.

They saw the hosts race into a deserved 2-0 lead. Firstly the right back missed clearing a 2nd ball and it was swept home off the post... then a good burst down the left wasn't repelled and their nippy attacker #7 got there before veteran Townsley, whose creaking limbs couldn't carry himself back across quick enough.

West Lothian men injected subs and new pace after the break, halving the deficit from a direct freekick, disputing an equaliser off a flick ruled out for offside, and frankly were basically camped around the Seasiders box by the end. However no equaliser materialised and they return westward with 0pts as Dunbar sit pretty on 6pts.

Victors played well throughout - especially 1st half - and will be delighted with their exciting start to 2021-22.

Halftime analysis among the schoolboys behind the goal decided the visitors were "Broxburn Pathetic" and "as bad as Rotherham". That certainly would have felt unfair after FT - but they undeniably have room for improvement.
