The SFA have decided to suspend all football ,including training until at least the 31st of January when it will be reviewed . This could be a long lay off again for the game and we will keep you updated as we hear of any news . We will be looking for supporters and interested parties to watch out for virtual events over the coming weeks and will hope everybody who can will take part and  interact with the club and community . We are and all ways will be here for you , don’t be a stranger we will be on the end of the phone if you would like to chat. We hope to roll out a number of events and these will be announced here and on our social media accounts . Stay Safe

The East of Scotland Football Association held a meeting to discuss the implications of the recent lockdown restrictions . With the SFA informing clubs to carry on playing under the instruction from the Scottish Government to allow us to start the season , there has been no directive from the governing body to change the playing schedule .  Fixtures will continue to be played (weather permitting ) as scheduled .  What has been decided is that no friendlies will be sanctioned until further notice and travelling officials should be kept down to a minimum  . We sincerely hope that everybody stays safe and we can get through these very trying times together . Please stay safe and hopefully with the vaccines now being administered the situation will improve greatly early  in 2021 .

This weeks fixture like many others has had to be postponed due to the freezing conditions . With frozen snow on top of a frozen park and temperatures set to plummet even lower over night both clubs agreed that it would be best to call the game off early

With Camelon’s Scottish cup tie against Brora Rangers being postponed again at Dunipace’s all weather park tonight (Wednesday ) they will now try and get it played on Saturday . This leaves LothianthistleHV able to travel to Broxburn to play a rearranged Premier league match at 2-30pm on Saturday the 9th of January . This game will be streamed free of charge live  , details on social media  in next couple of days . Even this early though unfortunately the park is frozen solid and with the forecast not to get much better next couple of days it could be scuppered by the weather . We will monitor the situation and keep everybody updated .

Tomorrows game at Linlithgow is postponed due to frozen park . With the forecast not to improve we agreed to the early call off . The forecast for the month of January is not good with freezing temperatures the norm for the month . We are awaiting a fixture reshuffle for next Saturday before setting up future fixtures on the site . As soon as we have any news we will post it as soon as possible . Meanwhile we wish all a prosperous and Happy New Year and hope we can all get together soon and watch the team perform . BACK THE BURN

Very disappointing way to go out of the Scottish cup after all the effort the boys put in to the game . having seen SFA camera highlights of the game still puzzled as to why our goal in extra time was ruled out because of a foul on the keeper who the referee says had both hands on the ball ?  . We need to put it behind us and treat our injured players back to recovery . Gary Brass has not broke his ankle as first thought but has damaged ankle ligaments and will be out for some time . Conner Wallace has damaged soft ligament tissue in his hip area after his hip popped out and back in as he kicked a ball up the park .Christopher Townsley has pulled a muscle in his thigh .Just a big thanks out to Ronnie Alexander who waited with the secretary to get our two hospitalised players home allowing the team bus to head for home . Also Graeme who came up to Kinross from Broxburn to take us on our final part of the trip home allowing Ronnie to get home in Fife a bit quicker , thank you so much appreciated . So  not a good day at the office but can not have asked for anymore from every single one of the players ,they done the town and club proud and we will be back again for more next season . Meanwhile we turn our thoughts to  league business with a away match to local rivals Linlithgow Rose on Sunday the 3rd of January  with a 2-30pm kick off .The big games keep coming and we would not want it any other way .

Gavin Grant , who has been on the transfer list since the beginning of the season , has joined Easthouse’s Lily . We wish him all the best for the future and thank him for his service to the club in his stay here .

With Christmas almost over , we hope you had a good time no matter what you have done to  celebrate today . We now turn our thoughts to the Scottish Cup first round at Nairn which all looks good to go after message from the north this evening . The players are focused and determined to get through this tie after curtailing their celebrations today  in preparation . We hope their celebrations are only delayed 24 hours . The game will be streamed by a company for Nairn County as per SFA rules it has to be by pay per vue  the link is on our Twitter page and Nairn County’s . Enjoy the game and we hope the journey home will be a joyous one and not a long one . Merry Christmas Stay Safe and BACK THE BURN
