    Eck,
    	The only people who appreciated you comiong to boness was the
    comittee(sp)at Fisons.  (lounge and disco bar)
    
    re-2.
    
    If my memory serves me right the bu's have won the scottish junior cup
    a staggering 3 times (1954,1976,1984) and lost in the final on an other
    occasion (1977 we were going for two in a row).
    We have a wonderful all seater stadium ( a big banking ) that holds
    about 200 and is usually empty every week,we even have flood lights
    ( stolen from the pit when it shut doon ) its quite difficult to see
    the ball when it goes in the corners.The reason I know this is that
    I've been priveledged(sp) enough to play on the "Hallowed Turf".

    I think it was 1946 and not 54 that they won the "junior" for the first
    time. Bo'ness were senior before the second world war, not many junior
    teams can say that, and then going junior after. As Davie pointed out
    they have quite a young team for a junior side, about 29 8*). Still
    when they get older they can always go over the hill and play for the
    Rose 'cause they're over the hill anyway !!!!!

    Could you also put in the words of that famous Rendition

    The only one that springs to mind and is still living is Wait for it
    George McGeechie (sp) he is currently playing for Dundee,he spent
    several seasons with the Bu's,the reason that we lost him was Dundee
    came in with a tremendous offer...."Money"
    We have had numerous players capped (nee capped that Is and some with
    their arms broken)several times for junior scotland...this isnt the
    wee boys team its more off an organised "Battle" for men........
    Most of the players played senior at some time in their careers we
    once had one who was signed by Cowdenbeath on the Tuesday and was
    re-instated by the thursday( shows you the quality of players we are
    talking here) he was P#@h...............

              What league do the BU's play in and where did they finish
    last season ? Also did the BU's play the mighty Rose this season ,if
    so ,could you tell me the score ?
    
             Is it also true that that silly wee hen hut that you have over
    there for a stand was built with wood that was stolen from the hulls of 
    fishing boats plundered on the forth ??

    Sal,
    
    The bu's play in the first division,last season we finished about
    May....8>0
    We have played the sh*%$y rose this season it was a rather one sided
    affair but on reflection we did well to keep the score to only 4-1  8>)
    It was one of the most upsetting games that I've attended,we had all
    the pressure all the attempts on goal and all the pies !!! and we were 
    still three down but saying that the Heathans did score 4 really
    flooky(sp) goals.
    As for the stand --- well Ive always thought there was a strong smell
    off fish when Im sitting away up there in the grandstand but I thought
    it was the       sitting next to me.

    Steve,
    
    	  They only announce the date of the match against the "old firm"
          a couple of days before its due to be played,this is to deter the
          fans turning up at the ground without tickets....
          There was a full house the last time the two giants of junior
    	  football clashed ( I think it was number 35 just opposite the
          ground )
    
    	  BTW Lad's youse are all welcome to come and see the "dream team"
          in action in the next local derby,I've booked us the bench at the
    	  back of the stand.We are allowed to use the function suite as

    	Since you`ve invited the boys round to your box ( oooerr )
    	for the next big match. I think that we should all get into
    	mood of things, by wearing a replica of the BU`s strip that
    	you mentioned in 271.23 . The only thing I`m not sure of is
    	where to get a replica of the vintage BU`s strip that you
    	described. Do you have the number of the kit supplier, have
    	you`s got a BU`s supporters shop or should we hire a minibus
    	and all head down to Miss Selfridge ??????

        Football's a funny sort of game it makes grown men do funny things
        ( like go and watch Ayr United )
    
        After watching the "Boness dream team" for many years I decided to 
        sample some scottish senior football.I arrived at Ayr bus station

    Sal,
       I think i may have got my Masterton's mixed.It was definetely Bobby
       who played for the BU's.He went pro with the Jambo's and i thought
       he played for Ayr as well.My mistook.
    
    
    I'll be there.Beers by the telly are for pussies.(Or for those who are
    not fortunate enough to aquire tickets for the pleasure dome).
271.41Anyone want to star a Willie Temps Fan Club?KURMA::ISUTHERLANDGo'n' play up your own endMon Nov 23 1992 19:1029
    
    Whilst reminissing(sp),about the great Temps,i was wondering if anyone
    could enter facts and figures "Cunno style" about the most gifted
    player ever,to grace Newtown(Bar).
    
    Here are some career details that i can remember.
    
    Joined Celtic from school and was farmed out to the BU's(as Celtic did
    then with all their gifted players.Well they did it with Dalglish
    anyway).Rejoined Celtic after a truly marvellous season in the Junior
    ranks,which culminated in him winning the greatest honour known to
    footballers,(the Journal player of the year).
    After three seasons and many,many pints,he left Celtic to join Hibs
    where he formed an unrememberal partnership(for both of them),with the great
    Georgie Best.After Hibs he joined some Scandanavian mob,but it wasn't
    long before he was back to his beloved Newtown Park(Bar),where
    unfortunately,as many others have found,returning to a club where you

    Davros McFisty,
    
    Rumour has it that Mark Hughes will lose his place at Old Trafford to
    Eric `Frogs legs' Cantona !
    This being the case, BU's manager, Roy Rogers, is preparing a bid of
    two haggis suppers & 14p in old money for his services.
    
    Rogers says,"Mark should fit in well here at the Wet Dream Team. His
    long hair style should fit in well with all the supporters, who also
    sport long hair (and flares,Bay City Roller jumpers & Slade socks)
    
    This signing could spell the end for Bo'ness striker Hughie McGonigle.
    He's rumoured to be heading for fauldhouse along with the last decent
    thing to leave the Ness.......

    Well troops,
    
    Here is the much awaited match report..........WE WON WE WON WE WON,
    no seriously the "dream team" should have been dead and buried by half
    time,the pollock supporters were treated to some good football for a
    change (by the dream team)there left winger should've been on a
    hat-rick after about 25 mins,he was clean thru on "Big Gav" three times
    but the goalie stood his ground and thrawar thaw tha  saved well three
    times.
    Things were looking bleak at half time ( the wife in the canteen had
    forgotten to switch the oven on and the pies were cold )The second 45
    started at a furious pace with the dream team starting to edge there
    way back into the match ( they were actually kicking the ball now )
    after about 5 seconds of intricate play on the left we won a throw
    in...the crowd were starting to look interested in the game,there was
    some sort off confusion in the pollock goal mouth (otherwords there
    keeper dropped a clanger )and the ball,I only blinked for a second and
    Yes I missed the goal......being scored.
    After there this there was no looking forward, the pollock team were
    camped on our 18 yard line eating sausages and singing stupid songs.
    We managed to hold on to our slender lead until the end,when the final
    whistle went the whole team left the park with the sound of the "Boness
    Fair Song" ringing in their ears.........
    In answer to a few questions that have been raised in this topic and
    other junior football topics and I quote "I will go and watch Boness
    since there still left in the cup" here is my answer "We dont want any
    of you lithca scum bags (ayr/killie/edinburgh division) coming over

    Boness  v  Newtongrange
    
    Boness started the day in second position in the league,unfortunately
    there play in the first few minutes didnt merit this position.
    Newtongrange have been the league champions on two occasions in the
    last few years,so it was a tough game for the Bu's,we were a goal down
    after some bad defevsive play,but things were soon to change.About 10 
    mins later after some brilliant inter passing the "dream team" were
    level.Just before half-time we were awarded a penalty,our man mountain
    of a defender Andy McLean strode forward seemingly ooooozziiing in
    confidence,he placed the ball on the spot took about 236 steps back and
    begun his run towards the ball ( I went for a pie )I returned to my seat
    just as he was hitting the ball,the ball flew towards the keeper at an 
    awfy rate,the keeper stood still,stuck up his hands and stopped the
    ball.The defense cleared the ball and the keeper shouted for a pail of
    ice water to dip his hands in..( ye shouldve seen the steam )
    The second half begun quite well for the home team,they had  a few
    promising attacks ( in the dugooot ) but failed to score.The second
    goal was a peach from "Dode" Allison,he sold the defender a shimmy
    shammy aboot 20 yards from goal turned and rifled an unstoppable shot
    high into the roof of the net.( and the ball went in too )
    the home fans were very impressed with "Dodes" contribution to the game
    but as usual he turned saint to sinner.It was a bizzare situatuion that
    he found himself in,Melville was brought down heavily by some guy in
    a nice blue jersey,as melville fell to the ground "guy" had a kick at
    him as well as you can imagine "mello" wasnt to chuffed,so he squared
    up to him ( as this is the law in Boness ) just before "Mello" got into
    him "Dode" sprinted about ten yards dived at "Guy" and stuck the heid
    into him.This resulted in "Dode" being asked to leave the field by a
    man in a black dress.
    The Bu's held on for the last part off the match and extended there
    unbeaten run to two.......

    Boness United V Livingston Hooligans..    19/12/92
    
    The Bu's started this game at a tremendous pace and after some nice play
    they found themselves 2-0 after about 20 mins.The rest is all downhill,
    they found the net again after about 35 mins,it looked like they would 
    go in at half time 3-0 up but alas stand in keeper (Noddy) dropped a
    clanger....Half time 3-1.
    The second half was an even worse performance than the first after
    about 20 mins play the bu's replaced two players with carboard cut
    oots.Paul crookshanks one of the subs had been on the park for only 5
    mins when he tried to slide tackle the Hooligans sweeper,the sweeper
    swerved paul and as paul slid bye he hooked the sweeper right on the
    chin...( for no apparent reason )this of course meant that he had to
    fill up the bath for the rest of the boys.
    Reduced to ten men we struggled on for a few seconds then they were at
    it again,Wilcox the boness midfield maestro took the sweeper right out
    of the game,it was a vicious tackle,his name and phone number went in
    the refs wee book.Wilcox ran back towards the penalty area,when the
    sweeper got up on his feet he ran staight towards wilcox and squared up
    too him,Wilcox did what any self respecting boness man does when
    threatened... yes he spat on him....( This was a pretty bad thing too
    do but it was funny )the sweeper didnt see the funny side off it
    though and he punched wilcox about the ears ( six rapid ).
    This led to a rather nasty scene in the penalty area,after the comotion
    had settled down wilcox and the sweeper were sent to help paul fill up
    the bath.
    But as the players were leaving the field the Hooligans manager grabbed 
    wilcox and tried to punch him this led to terrible scenes of violence 
    on the trackside.Ten minutes later and after the manager had been
    escorted from the ground the game restarted,the hooligans managed to
    score again before full time but th bu's held on to collect another two 
    crucial points in the league campaign. 
    Final score Bu's  3  V Spazos 2.
    I think that the rose had a lot to do with this considering we have
    lost 2 key players for next sundays "Live on Sky" derby.And the two
    players will miss out on the Scottish cup tie on the 7th of January.
    But it goes to show that even when we play crap and are reduced to 9
    men we can still WIN.

    Well Shirley,
    
    	        I have it on good authority that both sides will be
    understrength for to-morrows "Live on Sky" derby.The Bu's will be
    without there star goalkeeper "Gavin (The Pussy) Kirkwood" he suffered
    a broken nose and 8 stitches during last thursdays training session.
    Three other key players will also be out ( just for the week-end
    though) through injury.I will have to take the Bu's to stuff this
    motley crew from over the hill as we have only lost once this season on
    the hallowed turf....
    I predict 1 sending off,8 bookings and a huge fight in the stand.....
    
    The Bu's will win by the odd goal in eight.....

    derby but my assistant Looooowwweeee McPhartson was there,his commments
    were unprintable I'm afraid...

    Methinks it was Grangemouth stadium you passed, which is up the Inchyra
    Road and is used for athletics. It also has a footie park. Grangemouth
    does not have a junior team and Bo'ness is a completely(sp) different
    town. A season ticket works out at around a tenner, so I think your
    budget will stretch to that......Newtown Park is one of the few junior
    teams in Scotland with a STAND and FLOODLIGHTS and a WALL all round the
    ground (most have a clothes line tied round four posts i.e. the
    ayrshire teams) We also have two pubs and a chippie within walking
    distance and you can be there and back before the second half
    starts........"nothing but the best for us...right lad !!"

    the Cumnock scum.The title BLACK AND WHITE SHITE has always been

     Last week-end's Boness v Camelon match was called off only

     The teams were stripped and out on the park,the fans were seated
     in our superb all seater stadium ( a mini metro )
     The ref trooped out on too the park and cancelled the game,the Boness
     support were "disgruntled and annoyed" and all SEVEN of them were
     asked to leave the ground.

    re 91,
           gents, here we have a so called supporter of B.U. and he does'nt 
    even know who they beat in the last round of the Scottish (before the
    Beith game) He says they beat Cumnock, but that is not strictly true
    son coz Cumnock are still in the cup (worste luck). If the author of
    .91 wishes to write a lot of dross may I suggest he tries the Celtic 
    conference, he will be in good company there.
    B.U. beat Pollok in round 2 of the Scottish, you should have asked Davy
    Milne coz he wiz there.

    Well well......somebody trying to slag the mighty Bo'ness.....is Beith
    your home town Ron, if not you should keep quiet. Glenafton do not have
    much of a record in the " Scottish". We have done quite well against
    Ayrshire teams in the cup, so if the likes of the black and white
    Cumnock shirts (scalps) were hanging round Newtown Park we wouldn't see
    the game. We also just beat POLLOCK (facts from the Rowan book of records)
    in the last round before we were pipped by Beith.  
    We've also won the cup more times than Luthgy Rose as
    well......(had to mention the Rose in this note...eh).

    All results were from "The Pink", So the bit about the penalties would
    not have been in. Anyway, a 2-2 draw with a 'B' division team and only 
    going through 5-4 on penalties is not something to shout about.
    
    Bo'ness' meldrum is in the U23 squad to play Berwick Rangers. He has
    been signed by a senior team but I don't know who. These games are
    also used as Scotland trials.

    	Colin,
    	    Who is this Victor Meldrum or whatever his name is, then? What
    position does he play (used very loosely)? Having witnessed the on
    field (in)capabilities of Bo'ness twice this season, I cannot recall
    any player who would have been selected for an over 70's select team,
    let alone any sort of Scottish trial match. Best-looking-team-caught-in-
    a-time-warp might be more appropriate. I thought it was a joke
    when people spoke about flares, platform shoes and Birmingham bags
    being all the rage in the 'Ness until I attended the game. The Bo'ness
    wave really is something else, too. I thought the (three) fans were
    going to do a mexican style one, but as I found out it's the new hairdo
    (specially constructed by their very own Senga McSherry) sported by
    players and fans alike.
    	Also, I drank three pints in the Newtown bar without getting my
    head stoved in, do I win a prize?

    John,
    	if you read your local rag i.e.'The Gazette', instead of heading
    home of a weekend, you would be up to date with all the local news
    concerning 'The Blue Milan'.
    'The Pink', that's the east equvalent of the 'Greenock Green', the
    saturday evening results paper is over on the 'etch' table with the
    relevent facts. 
     Also I don't think running up the wing with 'flares' and pink polka
    dot 'platforms' goes on at Newtown, that sounds more like the 'Rosey
    Posey' lads (lasses).
    Don't know about the mexican wave but after the local chinkie on a
    saturday night you get the 'chinkie wave' as you fan your butt to get
    the flames out !!!!!!

    would let you qualify.

    That player meldrum has been signed by Raith rovers I think and he's
    apparently quite a good player so what he's doing at bo'ness I don't
    know.
    
    Harthill although in div B they couldn't be in div A as this is there
    first season as a junior team. The Rose have played them four times
    this season and the results to date are 4-0 1-0 1-0 2-2 (5-4penalties).
    as you can see the games have got tighter as the season has gone on.
    Harthill are currently top of div B and have lost very few games so
    far.  The 4-0 game was the Rose's first game of the season by the way.
    So they will be a hard team to beat next season when(not if) they gain
    promotion. They also had players in the select team.

    it must get lonely for you and the other Rose supporter in SQF, (SQFJambo).

    Lads,
         A wee report from last nights spectacular from the Ness stadia.
    Boness fielded about 9 trialists and two regulars and believe me they
    were regular (if you know what I mean) s*it# for the stupid rose fan 
    who notes in this topic.
    They were 0-2 down at half time and were 0-4 down with about 10 mins to
    go (this is when I made my exit).
    There's not alot you could write about this farce except that leg o
    beef played there strongest team.
    Thing's got a little heated in the second half and the tackling was a 
    little tough to say the least,this got the massive crowd ( 19 )
    interested.
    The only good thing to come out of the night was the rumour that the
    "Chinkies" had been sold and was being turned into a massage parlour.
    This was enough to start "THEE" wave.

    Do you know who any of the trialists were.
    
    There appears to be a few really good players in the sunday leagues
    that are going the rounds as trialists , but won't sign for the clubs.
    Whether its because they want a walletfull to sign on or work
    commitments mean they can't they're not saying.
    
    I take it last nights game was just a run-about match and not anything
    meaningful.

    As you are the president of the local "KYLIE MINOGUE FUN AND FASHION"
    fan club, you will be able to obtain flares ana tank top no problem.
    As for the blouses you mention, well we don't wear them, we wear chain
    mail. You have to in Bo'ness where the avon lady is "THE ALIEN" and the
    local posse 'dook' for chips. Be sure to wear inconspicuous clothing,
    of course that will be hard with a 'Frank Spencer' stripey tank top, so
    we can't point you out to the 'U18's Posse'. If you happen to pop into
    the 'Fisons social club' for a wee snifter before the game you will
    feel like you are in the Fawdee miners welfare. The smell of dampness
    and green mould is overpowering. Or you can pop across the road to The
    Newtown and buy the dearest pint this side o' the Flints. After we gub

    hard slog up the flints with the sound of defeat ringing in your ears

    Lad's,
    
          I'll keep this short and sweet in case I get shafted???
    
    The game started at an awfy slow pace and never really improved thru 
    the first half.    Halftime Score. SS  0 v   fawdoos 1.
    
    The second half started well,with only 2 mins on the clock the SS
    scored an equaliser.Fawdoos were really under pressure noo,they were 
    flapping all over the place.The fawdoos centre half "Youngy" was about
    6' 5 and it wasnt long before one of SS's  taller players ( 5'5 ) was
    squaring up to him ( it was a grand sight )and pretty funny ( thats if
    anybody knows what funny is ).
    The Fawdoos second goal was an absolute peach,there No 6 hit a free
    kick from 25-30 miles oot and it nearly ripped the back off the net.
    Excellent Goal.....
    Then there was a bit o bother,the Fawdoos no7 ( who incidently is
    awaiting court proceedings for breaking a lithgi players jaw ) who had
    been fouling the ( pavements ) all day was booked for a really bad
    tackle.
    Ten minutes later he was at it again and I for one was sorry to see him
    go but somebody had to fill up the paddlin pool.
    At this stage the SS were all over fawdoos but as usual thing went
    wrong for the home side.If I called the fawdoos no11 fat it would be an
    understatement,he waddled casually into the penalty area did his dying
    duck routine and claimed a penalty.As the fat git sprinted to the crowd
    he was laughing,this was a diliberate dive !!!
    He even took the penalty and scored.The SS got a late consolition goal
    ( near the end ) but it was too late as usual.
    This will probably mean that Fawdoos will win the league.

    Winchburgh Albion U21's coached by our own Tommy Cannon. He wiz wanted
    by Raith Rovers earlier in the season and there was a bit of a tussle
    with Bo'ness before he actually signed for them and then they 
    released him and Bo'ness stepped in again. He plays oot on the wing and
    looks quite nippy but will need to build himself up for the rigours of
    the junior game.  
    
    Well that's aboot it except we finished above the Rose in the league.

    The Bu's took on looney land at Newtown park on saturday,the game
    started with a flurry and a pie.
    I was shocked to see that we had Tam "Cannie keep his mouth shut" Ward
    on the park,Tam is a soccer nomad who has played for over 4000 teams
    and never managed to score,this seem to be the reason that we have
    signed him as a striker..
    Tam lived up to his reputation and was duly sent off after 38 mins,this
    sparked the team into action.
    At this stage the Bu's were pulling the Livvy back four all over the
    place especially "Hello doll hows it gaun Looney" he was definately 
    being given the run around by a far superior front line.
    After about 40 minutes off taunting and teasing Looney they finally let
    him kick the ball and what a kick it was.(It was worth the wait)
    
    Half time 0-0
    
    The second half started quite briskly with the Bu's coming close on a
    few occcasions and they nearly scored as well.
    The Bu's were walking all over livvy but couldnt find the back off the
    net,then it happened we were hit with the sucker punch,WE WERE DENIED
    ARE SURE FIRE PENALTY.(My colleague will back me up here)
    looney sent a terrific ball 90 yards downfield right onto the toe of
    the winger who inturn found Yardley unmarked in the box and he placed
    it firmly into the gaping goal,the ball however went over the bar and
    into Kinneil school.
    After much protesting and the kicking off heels the Bu's decided to get
    on with the match.There was a gilt edge chance in the last minute when
    whit found himself unmarked at the back post,he did everything right,
    a good downward header only to see the goalie bring off a world class
    save.
    Final Score Bu's  0 v Livvy 1.
    
    Star men for Livvy were Alan middleton,Looney and a world class
    performance from Hogarth,who I understand is on Hearts books,it
    shouldnt be to long before he's replacing Henry Smith.
    There was however a bit of sad news from todays match,they ran oot o
    pies before I could get one and I lost 2 quid on the result.This result
    sees us at the foot off the table with zero points but I'm still
    willing to bet that we finish in the top 3.

    As I was playing I thought I`d give you the match report the way I
    saw it.
    Two minutes had gone when a high speculative ball was put into the
    Livvy goalmouth by a Bo'ness midfielder.Hogarth caught it but also
    caught his heid aff the post and dragged the ball over the line.
    Tam Ward scored with a bullet header 10 minutes later.
    Livvy snatched a goal back when Kirkwood and Wilcox were discussing
    where to go for a pint after the game and Bruce nipped in between
    them and slotted the ball home in off a post.
    Then an amazing thing happened at the start of the second half......
    I SCORED.Boness tried to clear a Cowan cross but it came out to me
    on the edge of the box and I put it in the postage stamp top corner.
    Ward then decided to put his studs into me when the ball was out of
    play,(dirty Bo`ness),and was sent off.I was booked for allowing him
    to nearly cripple me.
    Cowan was then downed in the box by Wilcox and he scored from the spot.
    Bo`ness then decided Ward might be lonely in the changing rooms and had
    their centre half sent off to join him.
    I forgot to mention that Bo`ness hit the post from the centre at the
    start of the second half when someone spotted Hogarth of his line.
    So we`ve now taken 4 pts off Bo`ness this season and it`s gone a long
    way to helping us stay up.Davy Milne will be sick...8*)

    as teams play 3 or 4 times a week.
    
    The final league game is on Monday where linlithgow rose will play
    host to camelon, camelon need to win to take the league title away 
    fron newtongrange on goal difference. The rose blew there chances
    last monday when they were defeated by newtongrange.
    
    This week there has been four cup finals to play.
    
    On tuesday livingston won the Peter craigie cup.
    On thursday Bo'ness won the fife and lothians cup.
    Friday night saw Camelon beat livingston in another cup final,
    and on saturday Bo'ness will play Newtongrange in the last final of

    As you know the Rose have declined from winning any silverware this
    season so as to give the clubs that never win anything some heart for
    the years ahead when the Rose will revert to there normal winning ways.
    Teams like Camelon, Bo'ness and Livingston are not normally good enough
    to win anything so the BIGGER AND BETTER teams like to let them win now
    and again.

    	   If you'd like to pop over the flints to the Superdome I'll
    personally take on a tour of the trophy room to see all the silverware
    we've picked up this season.Then we can return to prestonfield and 
    look at the Rose's trophy hut.
    The contents will probably be a pair of "Malkys" soiled shorts and an
    old cheese sandwich.
    
    As for letting the "Little Teams" win now and again...is it not twae
    baron seasons in a row for the Rose ??
    And I think,correct me if I'm wrong are BONESS UNITED not "Tripple
    Winners" of the Scottish cup.
    
    I'm sure my good friend and Author D Rooney will elaborate more on the
    stunning success Livvy had during the week in his soon to be released
    book  " A view from the Captains Eye"

    Firstly let me thank Davie for his excellent promotion work on my
    forthcoming book,"The Captains Eye".
    
    We were in the home dressing room at Prestonfield for the cup final
    and there is a door leading into the trophy room,and there it was
    in pride of place,a glass box containing "Malkys"skid marked shorts.
    
    Seriously though there are photos of the Scottish cup winning side
    everywhere and they`ll need to spend spend spend if they want to
    emulate that side,Yardley could be their first signing.

    Boness were on league duty today,they are currently bottom of the
    league but as all good managers say this position isnt justified
    we have been playing some lovely football but unfortunately weve been
    getting gubbed every time.
    
    
    Result.
    
    Bu's   Twae   V Ormiston Primrose  0.
    A good win but were still bottom of the league.
    
    
    
    
    There is a charity match tomorrow at Newtoon park kick off 1.00pm
    The game will feature THEE Scottish cup winning side from 1984 versus
    the current mob.
    
    
    
    
    I was surprised to hear that the Rose werent holding a similar sort of
    game then I remembered one important point,they would probably have to
    dig up there cup winning side.......its been a long time boys ???
    
                              
    
    
    
    The Bu's new strike force of Johnny "No another team" Sludden and his
    pal have been in devestating form since his 4000 pound move from
    Stenhousemuir. 
    
    Watch out,watch out Johnny's about will be the new battle cry from now

    Bo'ness are now in third place in the league but where the hek are
    that pile o dross fa oer the hill , !  propin up the league a suppose.
271.215haw haw!!MASALA::GPIKELinlithgow Rose (magic team)Sun Feb 12 1995 11:3919
    
    
    Normal league story, Bo'ness lose out in all the cups and have played 
    most of there league games by the end of feb, whereas the Rose are 
    still playing cup ties(apart from the Scottish that is) and have not
    played as many league games as the crappy teams like bo'ness.
    
    come the end of the season we'll finish above bo'ness in the league
    as per normal.
    
    
    Camelon will win the league this year as only Whitburn can catch them
    but the fa will do the normal thing and make the more sucessful teams
    play 6 or 7 games in 2 weeks and as Camelon have played more games than
    anyone they have the points in the bag.
    
    Livingston look good for the drop this year.(pity bo'ness weren't doing
                                                 as bad).

    Gordon,
    
    What makes you think Livingston will go down,we`ve got 7 points,are
    lying bottom and we have an easy run in.....Linlithgow(away),Camelon
    (home),Whitburn(away),Ormiston(away),Armadale(away) and Bo`ness(away).
    
    It`s a doddle......not!

    Well i see what you mean , but you should be able to collect 10 points 
    from that lot as lithgie are the only team that will definately gub
    ye, while the rest are ^&*^ (not very good).

    "Come the end of the season we'll finish above Boness in the league as
     per normal"
    
    What are the current league positions.....Gordon ?????
271.219luckyKIRKTN::GPIKELinlithgow Rose (magic team)Wed Jun 07 1995 12:1022
    
    Looks like the Rose slipped up in the league this year and let you lot
    from over the flints finished a place above them in the league.
    
    But at least this season the Rose managed to win the League Cup and
    are in another final on June 13th where they'll play Harthill. They
    won't win cos at the moment they're pish.
    
    Whitburn looks like they'll finish runners up in everything this
    season as they were humped 4-2 by Fauldhouse last night in the league
    so now i believe they're 1 point behind Camelon with 2 games to play,
    on thursday they play Camelon at home then on saturday they finish 
    with there last league game away to the Rose, which will probably
    be meaninless.
    
    So not a total waste of a season for the Rose but next season can only
    get better.
    
    I've heard that Bo'ness have already started signing players for next
    season.
