He left either at the end of that season or half way through the next. Six of of the fifteen in that squad are still with us four years on.

Footballfirst Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 The fixture was reversed and brought forward 24 hours from its original scheduled date. Rangers friendly with Spurs today probably has something to do with it. I don't know if there was an issue with their "home" pitch as Dumbarton is playing away today.

Footballfirst Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 The first two rounds of fixtures in the Lowland League have come up with a odd set of coincidences. Of the top 8 from last season (excl Bonnyrigg obviously, but with Tranent replacing them), Rangers B, Celtic B, East Kilbride, Spartans, CSS, Berwick and Tranent, all have a 1 win 1 loss record. The only exception is East Stirling who has only played one game. Hearts is obviously in a similar situation of 1 win, 1 loss. Could be a very competitive league.

RobboM Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Vale of Leithen were relegated from the Lowland League last season and dropped into the East of Scotland Premier Division. Tonight's result Linlithgow Rose 10- 0 Vale of Leithen VoL have conceded 15 in their opening 2 fixtures, they might have a division or 2 to fall yet to find their level. Other teams that have dropped down from the Lowland League have been Whitehill Welfare and Hawick Royal Albert who are now 2 and 3 tiers respectively below the Lowland League.

Footballfirst Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 I decided to skip the B Team game at Falkirk tonight and go a couple of miles further to Ochilview to watch the first of the ties in the Scottish Cup Preliminary Round between Syngenta and Threave Rovers. The home side just deserved their 1-0 win in an entertaining game. Threave has improved a bit since they moved to the WOSFL, probably by recruiting a few players from LL side Dalbeattie. Syngenta was decent and could well achieve back to back promotions in the EOSFL by winning the EOS Division 2 this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 For my third game of the day, I took in the Scottish Cup 1st round game between Musselburgh and Newtongrange. The visitors won 2-1 after extra time, but Mussy should be kicking themselves because of the manner of their defeat. After 90 minutes it was 1-1 which was a fair reflection of what was a pretty mediocre game. Things didn't improve in the first half of ET, but the final 15 minutes were eventful to say the least. First Mussy was awarded a penalty for a stonewall handball. A second yellow/red was given against the defender involved. Another Nitten player said something untoward to the ref and he was shown a straight red. 11 against 9 with a penalty to come, should have been straight forward for the home side. Not a bit of it. A poorly hit penalty went wide of the target and Nitten had at least a chance of seeing things through to penalties. Despite being two men down Nitten pushed forward and their lone striker got the better of his marker who pulled him down. The ref judged it to be denial of a goal scoring opportunity and Mussy went down to 10. Nitten pushed forward once again and managed to take advantage of the break of the ball in the six yard box to score what would prove to be the winner. Mussy came close to an equaliser a couple of times in the remaining minutes including one exceptional save from the Nitten keeper, but the final whistle came to much relief and celebration from the visiting players and fans. Well worth the £4 entrance fee (conc) for the second period of ET alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
