skinnybob72 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I took in the Musselburgh vs Linlithgow Rose game on Saturday afternoon - it was 4th vs 3rd in the table so was expecting a close game. Rose won 6-0! Ex Heart youngster Daniel Baur was playing CH for Rose but was subbed at HT, assume it was a slight niggle as they were 3-0 so he was hardly struggling. Penicuik and Tranent looked to be running away with top 2 after about 12 games but Rose have caught up and I think Saturday was their 14th consecutive win!

Darvel are backed by the guy who has Brownings Bakers I think, they have a big budget and have also spent a lot of money on things like the pitch and changing rooms. Tough to get promoted though with teams like Auchinleck and Pollok being so strong, it’s a pity a max of one team can get promoted from the West into the Lowland as some of the teams in the West being promoted will make it a really strong competition.

I was also at the Musselburgh v Linlithgow Rose game. Linlithgow are much improved from the start of the season, while Musselburgh had one of their off days. A friend of mine who watches Musselburgh regularly said that it was their worst performance of the season. I think that Baur was subbed because he had first been spoken to by the ref about dissent, then shown a yellow card for dissent just after the 3rd goal went in. Penicuik have a game tonight at home to Newtongrange, while Musselburgh is at home to Tranent on Wednesday evening. If the weather is fine I may go along to both games.

Their highest attendance was against Rangers B at 942, but they have had 557 against VoL on a weekday evening and 668 v Gala FR is recent weeks.

Footballfirst Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Bonnyrigg stretch their lead at the top after today's stoppage time winner over Caledonian Braves. They were ultimately very fortunate to get the win after dominating much of the game, having a two or three cleared off the line, an "own goal" chalked off for offside (wtf!), 20 plus corners. Braves could have stolen the points as they created a couple of chances on the break, late on, but perseverance paid off when McGachie finally got a clean header to a Currie corner in the 91st minute.. Rose's first choice XI is decent, but once they start using their fringe players the quality just isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game, Gala scored directly from a corner for the opener and scored again after more poor Berwick defending from another corner to go 2-0 up. Berwick got one back before half time and then scored just after HT to make it 2-2. Gala keeper took down a Berwick player who was clean through and was yellow carded before Berwick scored the penalty to go 3-2 ahead. They scored a 4th with the aid of a deflection and that finished the scoring at 4-2. Decent game in awful conditions as it was wet and windy most of the game. Tam Scobbie who played over 100 games for both Falkirk and St Johnstone was playing for Berwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One from the bottom of the Lowland League Gretna 2-1 Dalbeattie Star Big 3 points for Gretna. A win for Vale of Leithen a few weeks back had put them within touching distance of Gretna to avoid relegation at the bottom of the Lowland League, however unlikely that seemed. This win for Gretna surely puts them out of sight. If and when Vale of Leithen get relegated has a knock on effect for relegation lower down the pyramid too in the East of Scotland.

Footballfirst Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 I don't know who did the fixture scheduling in the EOS Premier League, but it could end up with a quite a climax. Linlithgow Rose is the form side at the moment and has moved ahead of Tranent into 2nd place in past last week. (I watched them beat Broxburn on Thursday). However, Penicuik is still a single point ahead, with a game in hand. Linlithgow's last two games of the season are Tranent at home, then Penicuik away. Lets hope that the title is still up for grabs by that stage. Re the Broxburn v Linlithgow game, Daniel Baur was an unused sub for Linlithgow, but 16 year old Hearts youth Michael Beagley came on as a sub for Broxburn. I assume that Michael has been released by Hearts, as it is unlikely that he is there on loan given that he doesn't have a FT contract.

BM1874 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Went to Stirling Uni v Edin Uni at Ainslie Park on NYD. 3rd time I’ve seen Stirling and 4th seeing Edin can see why Stirling have moved a few players into league sides down the last couple of seasons, play well and each time I’ve seen them has belied their league position, Edin we’re awful first half and 3-0 down but came back into it the second half (actually missed their 1st goal as the wee man wanted to play football on the training pitch next to the main one) it’s absolutely crazy to think that Edin Uni haven’t had a win in years against Stirling (not sure of exact length) but the “home” team are rather proud. I live near Peffermill and have seen both games between the two this years and seen 13 goals (4-4 draw earlier this season) game played at Ainslie park due to floodlight issues at Forthbank where Stirling normally play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
