    Well I was at the Linlighgow Rose Soshul Klub and scailt a pint.....
    does that count as a mess ?????

    The Rose are experts at making a mess.....have you seen them play 
    lately ?? I think if you want replies, it will need to be BU supporters
    'cause their's no many Luthgy "susporters" going about in digital.

    Well bye for now....this should get things rolling Gordon....nothing like
    a bit of "unfriendly banter with the ____ from over the Flints" 8*).

    Colin your pally with Wullie Temps , I was in the Rose club about 2
    weeks ago and Wullie was very pally with Sinclair , now sinclair has a
    habit of playing his pal's in the rose team at the moment so is wullie
    about to join the rose either playing or otherwise.
    
    He might as well as the rest of sinclairs pals were c**p and it would
    make a change if one turned out half decent.

    Gordon,
          i've no seen him or any of his family for a wee while but I can't
    see him turning out to play. He's no at his fittest and he's got a bit 
    of a belly. Could be coming on to the coaching side, but I think he is
    or was at Pumpherston. Anyway he might have been in to scail a pint as
    he used to play for the BU's. 8*)
    
    p.s. He's 34 now, but what I saw at the recent local derby with my team
    and yours, he could stand in the middle and play the ball about nae
    bother.

    The rose had a good win on Sat against lesser opposition in the shape
    of Preston athletic. It was a cup game so they're still in at least 
    one cup competion so far.
    The result was 6 - 1 to the Rose so it should give them a bit of
    confidence for next saturdays game away to Camleon in the league.
    Currently they are trailing in the wake of Fauldhouse in the league but
    they had a bad result at home to Bathgate last week when they lost 5 -
    2 .

    We might still be trailing in the league to the likes of Fauldhouse
    and the mighty BU's,but we have a few games in hand,which I think will
    take us to the top of league where we rightly belong  :-)

280.11League TableKIRKTN::GPIKEUp the Rosey Posey.Sun Feb 07 1993 13:5530
    
    The Rose had a bad game yesterday when they were unable to beat a
    Bonnyrigg(ex lithgy rose)Rose team in the league. This result makes it
    very hard to have any real chance of catching Fauldhouse who are on the
    same number of games played.
    
    League Table 6th Feb
    
                 P   W   D   L   F   A   Df   Pts

    Bathgate     10   2  2   6   14  22  -8     6
    
    As you can see from the table the best placed to mount any sort of 
    challenge to Fauldhouse are Whitburn and Newtongrange. And with 
    Fauldhouse now paying the penalty for having a dirty team with 
    loads of suspensions so I hope they keep getting beat. Well one
    of Bathgates only two wins was a 5 - 2 defeat of fauldhouse at
    fauldhouse so they're not doing so well at the moment.

    The Rose had a wee win today against Bonnybridge in some cup competion
    which should keep them in a good mood for a few days. This follows a
    6 - 2 win in a friendly against Pollock so they must be on a winning
    streak and maybe they'll go for three in a row on sat.

    As Fauldhouse United don't have a note of their own (And probably don't
    deserve one, eh Davros !), I'll just have to content myself by adding 
    their results in here & making the Rosey boy jealous.
    Faw-De-Da scored a resounding 7-0 win over Lochgelly (Who ?) in the
    Charlie Bain Cup yesterday. All this & still top of the league.

    JJ,
        Since my beloved team are'nt doing to well I should'nt really slag
    off other team's but I will anyway.The lone rose fan seems to think
    that Whitburn are going to be more off a challenge than Faw dee da
    or newtongrange or any other team.
    My money goes on the team that has the points not the teams who have 
    games in hand. ie. Man united.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    ps.
    
     I hope that Faw de da,crap from toytown,whitburn,newtongrange,camelon,
     and the rest of the team in the top 5 LOSE all there remaining games
     and we win the league.

    This leaves Yoo-nie-ted streets ahead of the Rose in the chase for the

    Newtongrange Star are our only real threat as they have � a dozen games

    Match report from the Rangers reserves vs Partick Thistle reserves.
    *******************************************************************


    This match was played last Wednesday at the Rose ground, Sidney (SQF
    JAMBO) and myself decided to attend this star studded game, There was
    a crowd of about 700 at the game and you could have heard a pin drop
    around the ground, But alas all you could hear was Sidney and myself
    slagging the players ie "Nizzy ya big Useless No2" etc.  Ian Durant
    was playing like a "Bo'ness United Player" and who the rest of the
    players were God only knows. To cut a long story short , The game was
    Kack so we left 10 Min's before the First half and got Blootered in
    the Lithgy rose Club.
    
    
    P.S  The score was 1-1

    On saturday  the Rose are at home to Whitburn in a league match, the
    previous match between them  saw a score of 6 - 4 to whitburn and 6
    players booked as well as two sent  off. Both teams had a  player 
    taken to hospital one a broken leg(Rose player) the other a head injury
    just a quiet sort of game really. So it might be a good game to see
    this time round.
                   Obiviously the Rose have no league title aspirations
    this year but Whitburn will still have an outside chance.

    Its interesting looking at the title of this topic "magic team" looks
    like all the supporters have " vanished " but never mind an Ayrshire
    man will try and stimulate some interest,seeing as we are always
    involved in the final stages of the Junior Cup.
280.31PAKORA::GPIKEUp the Rosey Posey.Tue May 11 1993 15:2810
    
    The magic team played camelon(spelling) on sat and came off with the 
    result they needed but they didn't deserve it as they spent the whole
    of the second half in there own half. But Camelon missed a penalty
    a dubious one I might add but you have to take them when you get them.
    So lithgy are through to there first final of the season don't know who
    they will be playing or when as I don't think there opponents have
    passed the quarter final stage yet.

    As I,ve been away I have been able to miss the great Rose displays
    against Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg ( 6-1 & 5-2 rose have the low
    numbers). But they did manage to draw with Armadale on tuesday night
    with three trialists playing. One defender 1 midfield and 1 striker.
    The defender slipped up to give the dale there goals apparently and the
    striker scored the 2 goals and missed a couple more and the midfielder
    was apparently outstanding. As with there normal effiency there names
    were not mentioned in the paper (Gazette). On sat the Rose play
    Fauldyhoose in a cup final and next sat they play Bonnyrigg in another
    one so maybe they'll have a trophy or two to show for a season which
    showed a lot a promise but as usual gave us not a lot to cheer about.

    Well the Rose managed a 2-0 win over newly crowned league champions
    Fauldhouse to take the Alloa Brewery cup [East of scotland cup] back 
    to Prestonfield. So the season hasn't been totally wasted after all,
    next Sat its the Peter Craigie Memorial trophy thats at stake but the 
    Rose will need to improve on the last meeting against Bonnyrigg if they
    are to collect there second and last trophy for this season.
    
    Hard luck Fauldhouse better luck in the Fife and Lothians cup.
    
    Happy Rose susporter.

     Does this now mean that the Rose will now be known as..........

     THE 6-5 SPECIAL..........

     Re the 2-2 draw with Armadale, it was a trialist who scored the two
     goals.

     p.s. You also finished below the mighty BU's in the league.

     colin.
280.38KIRKTN::GPIKEUp the Rosey Posey.Sun Jun 06 1993 21:279
    
    I already said the trialist scored the two goals against Armadale,
    but the best player on display was the trialist playing in midfield
    but whether he'll play next season for the Rose is anybody's guess.
    
    Probably be like some of Bo'nesses trialists , will play as a

    The Rose have signed Watty Boyd that twinkle toed ex BU hacker who's only
    a wee lad at 36yrs.
    Recent accomplishments include breaking the laddie Malone's leg in a
    end of season game for Arbroath against Berwick. But he didnae mean 
    it really ????.
    So I see the rose are thinking ahead to nice friendly games with the 
    Bo'nessers next season.

    The Junior season starts on saturday for the East teams , The Rose
    are at home to Harthill Royal in the league cup so they'll be wanting
    a repeat of last seasons result with the Rose winning comfortably.
    
    On the other side of the flints Bo'ness are at home to Camelon I
    believe, which is there bogey team in cup competions so they will
    probably lose. Hopefully by a lot. Not that I'm biased  much.

    the points as usual.

    Halcrow                   Nobody of importance or I don't know.
    Todd
    Cowans
    
    This to me was a bit of a surprise as the Rose had a problem with
    Halcrow as they only striker in the Rose squad not injured so I 
    expected a no score draw as Bo'ness are not playing very well either
    at the moment. But by the score you can see that Cowans has played
    his second game whilst being injured. I was not at the game due to
    being dossing in my kip but the reports I've heard so far make it 
    out to a well deserved win.
    
    No doubt the ness suporters will disagree with this.

    Not this time Gordon,the Bu's played there worst football of the season
    so far,IMHO none of these teams (and I use the word "TEAM" loosely)will
    win anything this season,well maybe a corner or two....
    
    Now to the game,this was a dull boring game that was no interest to
    the  10,102 who bothered to turn up.The rose scored in about the 4th
    minute after a terrible defensive mix-up.
    The Bu's replied 2 minutes later with a penalty.
    Half time 1-1
    
    The second half was not much better,the only bright spot was the roses 
    2nd goal.It was a well worked couple of passess that led to the
    goal,Todd collect the ball about 20yds from the goal,he was about the
    corner of the penalty box he either tried to cross it or shot at goal
    either way the ball ended up in the back of the net..(It looked
    good)and so did the goal ??
    Then Cowan scored with a header from 2� inches,Cowan is the big money
    buy,he even hobbled on to the park at the start of the game,never
    really moved outside the semi-circle yet he still mmanaged to get on
    the scoresheet !!!!
    Its going to be a long hard season if there are many more performances
    like this one.

       I think even fauldhouse would want a 7-0 win against a wee team than
    any defeat in the scottish.
    
       Mind you fauldhouse are usually good for a game so either they were
    total crap (I don't think so) or downfield has just served notice of
    there intentions for the cup.
    
       I for one hope the rose are not drawn against them.
    
        hope bo'ness are though......
    
    P.s Preston got rid of nearly all there players at the end of last
    season so now most of the team are having there first season in the
    junior ranks- most coming from the amateur leagues. And they are
    playing either really well or really bad due to mainly there

    Awright I`m gonna take the bait,Livingston had two players in the 
    East region team to Linlithgows one.That dangerous wee git,Hayton
    of Fauldhouse,scored the Easts' goal when he took advantage of a
    bad pass back and rounded the keeper superbly.
    
    Unfortunately for Livvy,our goalkeeper Hogarth has been called up
    to Hearts reserves for the Edinburgh derby.This leaves us with a
    problem for Saturday as we`ll have to ask our other goalie to
    play even though we were trying to get rid of him.

    Last season the Rose were a poor side that did not play very well for
    most of the season, but so far this season the Rose are starting to get
    there act together and are starting to look a very good side.
    
    Last season Livvy were unable to beat the Rose so they will have even
    less chance of doing to tomorrow.
    
    Hopefully the Rose will not play Cowans but play Blues instead as he
    is more likely to score and is very quick. whereas cowans is a donkey.

    Linlithgow Rose beat Livingston 5-0 and auld peg leg Cowan got three.
    On a personal note I had a mare as I was supposed to be marking Cowan,
    and the three kicks he got ended up in the net.
    
    It could have been different if Livingston had taken their early
    chances but Cowan opened the scoring right on half time and the 
    goal inspired Linlithgow.Livvy had a man sent off for catching the
    ball and the Linlithgow sweeper scored from the resultant penalty.
    Alan Fowler added the fifth in stoppage time after a mix up in the
    Livvy defence.
    
    So disaster for Livvy and auld peg leg tried to console me by saying
    "There was never 5 goals in it",I nearly hit him......

    Thats what I like to see ** a win for the Rose** as there not too
    many last season.
    
    I did hear that Kelly the Rose goally had a bad start to the Livvy game
    and was lucky not to concede 2 goals in the first 10 minutes, but thats 
    the way it goes.
    
    Next Saturday the Rose are at home to fauldhouse in the league cup
    which going by the fauldhouse recent form should be a daudle.
    
    But before that all you rangers fans can see the reserves up against
    morton on thursday night at linlithgow.
    
    And on the 13th the rose are at home to the mighty lugar in the
    Scottish cup, while the ness are away to cumbernauld .

    Looks like we'll need to wait another couple of weeks before the Rose
    knock Fauldhouse out of the league cup as today the Rose are now
    playing Harthill at linlithgow.
    
    
    p.s the rangers reserves won 8 . 0 against morton. 
280.86Lithgy for the cup.PAKORA::GPIKESun Nov 28 1993 20:4822
    
    
    The Rose played there long awaited match against Fauldhouse on Sat
    the game ended in a 0-0 with the Rose playing most of the second half
    with 10 men after Kearney was sent off for a second bookable offence.
    The Rose had the best chance in the game with Todd getting clean
    through but electing to try and beat the keeper instead of playing it
    to Cowans who was totally unmarked. Fauldhouse never troubled the rose
    keeper at any time during the game and appart from the Todd effort the
    fauldhouse keeper could have went for a pint with the lithgy one.
    
    Not a very entertaining game really so both teams will be hoping for a
    better effort on the return, although when that is is anybody's guess.
    
    
    This saturday the Rose will be hoping to beat Irvine Meadow for the
    first time and no doubt there will be a good crowd as Irvine have been
    playing well and will fancy there chances. The Rose have also
    started to get there act together and I think they could go through but
    not if it goes to a replay.

    Linlithgow Rose...0  Irvine Meadow....0
    
    Contary to the score-line this was one of the better junior games I've
    seen recently. Both teams had chances to win the game although I would 
    say(being a Rose susporter) that the Rose finished the stronger team,
    and will be looking forward to the replay next week. Both teams hit the
    woodwork but the best chance fell to Blues of the Rose as he took the
    ball from his own half through the Meadow defence into the box but
    unfortunately the ball came off the post with the keeper beaten. This
    was with a Meadow player pulling him back all the way. The Meadow
    player was booked for this, but I would say the other 4 or 5 of his
    team-mates who were also booked during the game did not really deserve
    it as it was not a dirty game.
    
    I'll be looking forward the the replay anyway.

    Irvine Meadow.....0  Linlithgow Rose.......1
                         Flowler  35min.
    Ashcroft sent off
    85min.
    
    When I arrived at the match the Rose were taking the ball out of there
    own net, luckily the meadow had fouled the keeper and it was chalked
    off. It must have been a correct decision as none of the meadow players
    protested about it.
    That was about the 20min mark and the meadow were determined to dump
    the Rose out of the cup asap. They tried just about everything to score
    but in the end there best efforts came from long range and only one
    gave the keeper any trouble as he had to touch it over the bar. The
    Rose goal came after a run up the right wing and a cross over by Todd
    to Cowans but as usual he didn't move and Flowler planted it in the
    back of the net. Some idiots were shouting ooh aah co ba ra (this was
    the cowans fan-club) at the start of the game but by the time Cowans
    was taken off the chants were ooh aah cobra off as he as usual put in 
    no effort and was totally scared of Ashcroft the Meadow number 5. When
    Halcrow came on for cowans it meant that Blues had a decent partner up
    front and the Meadow were starting to get run ragged at the back the
    result was that Ashcroft took Halcrow right out the game when he was
    clean through and got sent off. Halcrow then had an effort tipped over
    the bar by a very good save by the meadow keeper with about 2mins to go
    and the game finished with the Rose on the attack.
    The game was not as good as the first one and over-all I would say that
    Irvine meadow deserved at least a draw if not a win. But the Rose have
    only conceded 1 goal in the last 2 months so it was as no surprise that
    there best player was McKeeman.
    
    Hopefully we'll get a nice east draw in the next round. I would have
    said Auchinleck or may-be Cummnock but I don't think they made it this 
    year.

    Livingston beat Kirrie two seasons ago 5-2 away from home so the
    Rose should have no problems.
    
    Conditions were terrible on Saturday and the park was harder than
    a goats face,but with the Scottish coming up Colin Sinclair was

    Well thats 18 games unbeaten and 2 points for the rose..
    A hard game but well won by the rose although the ness had there
    chances to score.
    The first goal came from a indirect free kick after Malloy passed back
    to the keeper and he picked it up. The free-kick was taken and after a
    attempt or 2 the ball broke to Wilson who put it in from about six
    yards, the second was from a penalty after the ness goally pulled down
    Halcrow in the box. Halcrow had put the ball passed the keeper and he
    had no option but to pull him down. But I don't think Halcrow who have
    managed to reach the ball anyway had he got passed but the goally
    wasn't to know that.
    I guess that just about finishes the ness season for them as they don't
    have any realistic chance in the league now.
    
    On Tuesday the draw for the next round of the Scottish is held in
    glasgow, and on Tuesday night the Rose are back on league business at

    hijacked by 2 drunken supporters calling themselves "The Killeton

    I awoke to find myself in a strange place called the Football and

    foaming ale we proceeded to the Crown Inn to watch the rugby.That was
    torture.By this point I was kicking my heels and sreaming to get out
    and go to thee game.
    I was forced again at knife point to go to the West port hotel where I
    was held hostage for a further 3 hours.I was finally let loose at

    Camelon  1 defeat so far this season when they lost on penalties in the
    scottish cup to Tayport.
    
    Looks like it could be a very good game but we'll just have to wait and
    see, Camelon have not won anything for 19yrs whilst the Rose have won
    the league cup 3 times in the last 5 years.

    Linlithgow Rose..0   Camelon....2
                              
     
    I was a bit disappointed with the result but Camelon were the team that
    was trying to win the game so deserved there victory.
    
    The Rose started the game with a 4-3-3 line up for the first time this
    season and the midfield looked like they didn't know what they were
    susposed to be doing. Also they played there new signing Flynn from the
    start and although for me he was the best Rose player on the park there
    was a lack of comunication between the front three as both Halcrow and
    blues tended to play wide so while Flynn was setting up chances for the
    other two they were to far away to make use of them. May-be Cowans
    would have been better alongside Flynn but he wasn't on the bench.
    Both the goals came from mistakes in the Rose defence and were well
    taken in the end.
    
    next saturday the Rose are at home to glasgow perthshire in the
    scottish so hopefully both Blues and Halcrow will have learned from
    there first game with Flynn and they'll all get there act together.
    Although I said Cowans would have played better with Flynn I still
    wouldn't like to see him play. Rumour is he trying to get a transfer
    away anyway.
    
    I got up early after the night-shift to watch the game so to say I was
    a bit p***** off is about right. More with the Rose display than the
    final result....

    The result was all that matters for Rose fans as the game itself was
    pretty garbage with the Rose showing how to play bad and still win.
    Perthshire deserved to win as they tried to win the game whereas the
    Rose seemed content to doddle arround the park. It's just as well it
    wasn't a decent team they were playing as they would have been hamered
    otherwise.

    quarter finals, this will be played in two weeks time as the SvA replay
    won't take place until the 18th march due to the Shotts goalkeeper
    being called to play for the Junior Scotland team that Sunday.
    
    Home draw so it should be a good crowd.
    
    On Wednesday night the Rose beat Bonnybridge 4 - 0 after a good
    display, the only fault was that they didn't get more goals as they
    created enough chances. On a plus the rose had Brickmore back in the

    So the Rose are out the cup for another year, but at least they put up
    a resonable display which considering the games of the past 2 months is
    something of an achievement.
    
    What can i say about the game appart from we got beat and it seems that
    whenever we play Arthurlie we get a player sent off before the scoring
    starts.
    
    The semis where drawn today and Arthurlie play Glenafton on the 22nd
    April at Love street, and Kil????. plat Largs at somerset park on the
    16th.

    The Rose play Livingston today,who are on a roll after a midweek 
    victory over Camelon.
    It`s the semi-final of the Alloa brewery cup and should be a cracker.

    richer....if Davie Milne pays up.

    	they met he scored a hatrick and he was only � fit.

    start to the new season. A away league cup tie with Bo'ness, no doubt

    The Rose may win,when the points are at stake but I must ask the
    question about there bottle when it comes to playing for the
    silverware.
    How many semi finals/finals have they lost in in the last few seasons
    ??
    
    Do all the players shorts look like "Malkys famous stained shorts"
    before the start of a final ??

    As all other grounds in scotland are not up to the standard of the
    super duper davie cooper pitch at prestonfield, home of the ever so
    great terrific brillant lithgie rose. Then it stands to reason that 
    the best ever team will have to play all there games at prestonfield.
    Thats why bo'ness never play there.
    
    
    And the rose have played away once this season and won 5-0 so thats
    why they play at prestonfield.

    Linlithgow Rose.......1   Bo'ness Utd...........1
    Gibson  90th              bbbbkbk   85th
    
    This game was totally dominated by the urinal "utter p##h".
    
    Bo'ness did not really have any chances and there goal was a result of
    a mistake by Wilcox(playing 1st game this season).
    
    The Rose did creat a couple of chances , two headers went past the post
    when they should really have scored, and the ness goally had a really 
    good save about 10mins from the end.
    
    The Rose goal was from a free_kick out on the left which was fired by 
    a slow gun into the right bottom corner with the goally just standing
    there.  Bu's fans are claiming it was a indirect free kick and that it
    touched nobody but they would say that. I totally unbiased as i am say
    not a lot as i missed the tackle and only saw the ball going in the
    net. But the ref was right there and it was okay by him.
    
    The ref was murder as he had booked 5 players by the 20th minute and by
    the end of the game three had been sent off(only 1 rose player deserved
    it in my opinion) and just about everybody had been booked. But i think
    he missed the pie wifey.
    It was not a dirty game just garbage. Hopefully both teams can put on a 
    better performance next week in the replay.

    I agree with most of the comments in the previous note,although it
    was a pretty poor show from both sides I thought that lithca were
    a lot worse than Boness.
    This was probably the best chance the Bu's had of overturning our 
    poor cousins from the south.
    The 3 sendings off were pretty harsh except for the attempted murder
    om the Bu's left back.
    The goals,well,what can you say the 1st goal was well taken by "Dode
    allison" one up with 10 minutes to go I thought it was over as the rose
    hadnt been out of there � since the before the interval.
    
    But the Bu's certainly surpassed themselves on this occasion,an
    INDIRECT free kick is awarded 35 yards out,some lithca scroat boots it
    towards the goal,nobody touches the ball (as the defence were all
    watching there men and nobody was watching the ball) next thing its in 
    the net.
    
    1-1 and a replay next saturday at paradise.Now I know how Tommy Burns 
    feels,most of the chances all of the play and sod all to show for it.
    There was a good crowd,around 2000+ and at 2 quid a go both committees
    were certainly smiling.

280.166The dummy's oot noo ??KURMA::DMILNEBig ScrubberSun Dec 11 1994 07:151
    Please get your facts right before entering such CRAP !!!!
280.167Noo the Rattles out.........???BHAJI::DMILNEBig ScrubberSun Dec 11 1994 10:3068
    Here's my thoughts on the game against they jammy,lucky bums from over
    the hill.
    
    The game was played on whaty can only be descibed as the "wattest day
    this year" 
    The park looked no to bad but soon it was cutting up very badly.I
    couldnt take my usual seat in the stand because it was full of those
    cravat wearing bums from toytown.
    
    The game started with the Bu's kicking with a strong westerly gale
    behind them.There were a few shots on goal but the goalkeeper came the
    closest to opening the scoring in a half which saw the Bu's camped in
    the rose half.
    Although we were camped in there � we never scored,I thought the
    writing was on the wall after a goalless first �.
    How wrong could I bee,about 2 mins into the 2nd half the rose were
    awarded a very soft free kick aboiut 35 yards out.
    The rose no7 executed what in my opinion was a wonderful strike right
    into the top corner of the net.(It was a cracking goal)
    
    Once again I thought that that was that,but to my amazement the Bu's
    fought back hard and had the rose pinned in there own �.The Bu's came
    close on a few occasions but it was 25 ninutes before the end that we 
    drew level,a well worked 1-2 between Sludden and Burns,Burns crossed
    for man "Dode Allison" to smash an unstoppable shot passed that excuse
    of a goal keeper Charlie Kelly.
    Near the end Mark White mad one of those famous darting runs past most
    of the rose team,he turned on a sixpence that somebody dropped in 1963
    and hit a thundering shot which smashed of kelly's bar with him
    floundering like a wee fish.
    
    Final Score 1-1
    
    Extra time,the first period was a typical cup tie between the Bu's and
    the rose,we had them pinned to the wall.
    
    Extra time was almost at an end when the Bu's were awraded a
    penalty,"Hogan" stepped forward and unleashed an unstoppable shot high
    into the roof of the net.
    The park was then invaded by the local hooligans.TIME WAS UP.
    All that was required was the ball to be booted out the park,no the
    Bu's kamakazi defence did it again,the rose were awarded a corner,the
    corner was whipped over aimlessly and it bounced of someones head and
    into the back of the net.
    
    2-2 after Extra time.
    
    Needless to say the Lucky team from over the hill won the penalty shoot
    out.Sludden missed the 1st of the Bu's penalties,there was no way back.
    Were out of the Scottish cup for another year,there were a lot of
    factors to take into account in this defeat,but at the end of the day 
    we didnt have the LUCK.
    
       
    
    
    Lew,
    	These bums must be worth a bet now because thats twice they've
        won games that they never looked like winning.They were outplayed
        and outclassed for 210 minutes and are still in the cup.??
    
        The draw takes place today in Davie Roy's kitchen at 1pm,needless
        to say the "Bums from Toytown" will get yet another home draw.

    Well on saturday the last league derby of this season was held at
    yon bo'ness heap, and the score was 0-0.
    
    This was no surprise as the Rose had been notified by the sjfa that
    if they beat bo'ness again then they would have to keep them as its
    been years since bo'ness last beat the Rose.
    This was a major problem as none of the Rose fans/commitie or players
    wanted the dross from over the hill at prestonfield. So a compromise
    was reached were the Rose would keep the game at 0-0 so as not to be
    accused of laying down and letting the dross win.

                         the Rosey possie as RSM Pike calls them

    Well Sean(closet tim) at least the Rosey posey did manage to win
    something this year unlike the super douper pars.
    
    Score from the last game this season was
    
    Harthill...0   Linlithgow Rose.....3
    
    Thats another Cup win pity it wasn't the Scottish but there's always
    next year and the year after that and that and that etc etc etc.
    
    Well now that the seasons well and truly finished I may as well shut
    this note seeing as we're being turfed out of Digital next week and
    sent to coventry(oops i mean motorola).
