🖤🤍𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗡 We’re sorry to hear of the passing of Peter Duncan, who served as Blackburn United’s Assistant Manager and then Manager during the 2003/04 season. All of our thoughts are with Peter’s family and friends at this sad time🖤🤍

Today’s Man of the Match was Danny Campbell. A fitting end to a special day for the long serving striker, despite the result. A diving header chopped off for a narrow offside, a goal and almost laying one on for Andy Jones; it was a great performance 👏🏻 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #montheburnie

A huge thank you to our mascots today: Ethan Campbell, Brodie Mildren, Cruz Spence, Owen Jones & Arlo Murray 🖤🤍 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

🏆 EoSFL 1st Division ⬛️ Blackburn United 1️⃣ 🟥 Lochore Welfare 2️⃣ It was a game we were leading and in control of after Campbell put us ahead in the 63rd minute. However, two lates lapses saw the game slip away from us deep into injury time. Onto the last game of the season next week. 🏴🏁 #montheburnie

This afternoon’s line-up to face Lochore is in…..follow @BlackburnUnited on x.com for live updates if you can’t be there. #BlackburnUtdLIVE #montheburnie

Before today’s match we’ll hold a minute’s silence for Bill Grieve, whose support to our club and connection to our community meant so much to so many. A valued member of the Blackburn community - gone but never forgotten 🖤🤍

Okay, so there’s no metro really, but there 𝘪𝘴 one last home game. Lochore Welfare the visitors — come and back the Burnie 📣 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 club. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 community. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 team!! 🧵[1/2]

Blackburn’s metro network?! Slightly ambitious perhaps - 😀 - but perfectly serviceqble for directing you to the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium at New Murrayfield Park in time for tomorrow afternoon’s kick-off! 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

We recently welcomed Ian Herbert of @brfcs.bsky.social and the 4000 Holes podcast to the club. Hosted by our Secretary Alan Harris, Ian was also given a tour of the dressing room by kit man Brian Meechan. Skip to 1:07:09 in the podcast. 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

With the Scottish football pyramid being reshaped for next season it’s worth considering where we will sit in that pyramid. From the SPFL (Tiers 1️⃣–4️⃣), the structure feeds into Tier 5️⃣ and further regionalisation below that, which is where we come in — competing in the EoSFL Premier at Tier 6️⃣. 🧵[1/2]

We play our last home game of the 2025/26 campaign with the visit of tenth placed Lochore Welfare. Come along and cheer on the Burnie for the final time this season….. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 club. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 community. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 team!! 🧵[1/2]

The East of Scotland Football League have released a pilot episode of EoSFL TV 🎬 It’s exactly the kind of exposure the league needs to help showcase the game below the SPFL. Hopefully it catches on and can be rolled out across the divisions 👍 🏴🏁🏳️ #skillandhardwork #montheburnie bit.ly/42O0QFT

We’re proud to have our First Team Player of the Year awards included as part of this special evening. A big thank you to Purdie Worldwide Removals & Storage Ltd for their continued support in making events like this possible. 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

A piece of well-deserved recognition for our right-back Kyle McClung who has been named in the East of Scotland Football League First Division Team of the Season. Kyle has been outstanding at right back all year, consistent, reliable and a huge part of driving the side onto promotion. 🧵[1/2]

Two moments. One massive point. Richie Hutton is first to react as the Preston ‘keeper spills Andy Jones’ effort….. 🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie 🧵[1/2]

So, it’s to be no last-day nerves or relying on others 🖤 With two games left the pressure is off and it’s now about finishing strongly and carrying real momentum into next season 🤍 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

🎶I'm Burnie, I'm Burnie, Burnie, Burnie......🎶 Seems it's not just Brian and Kit who have been putting in time on the mic 🎤 - it turns out that club captain James Mildren and Calum McDowall are our real lead vocalists!! 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

Today’s Man of the Match is Corey Kirk. Corey put in what was probably his best performance of the season. He was tireless all afternoon in our midfield three and played a huge part in a big day for the Burnie. Well done Corey! 👏🏻 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

@bufc.bsky.social have secured promotion…👏👏👏⚪️🔵 Well done folks…😁

🏆 EoSFL 1st Division 🟦 Preston Ath 2️⃣ ⬛️ Blackburn Utd 2️⃣ A battling shift and some flashes of good football secured us a great point. Goals from Hutton and Campbell were enough to confirm our promotion back to the EoSFL Premier Division and Tier 6 of the Scottish football pyramid. 🏴🏁🏳️ #montheburnie

The crowd on Saturday against Armadale Thistle was 460, which makes it our second highest home attendance on record. Our record crowd still stands at 600, set in January 1985 when we beat Yoker Athletic 2–1 in the 3rd Round of the Scottish Junior Cup. 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #montheburnie

Today’s Man of the Match is Richie Hutton. On a tough day Richie put in a strong performance. With his quality, he always manages to find space and continued to try to drive the team forward even when we went behind. Well done Richie👏🏻 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

🏆 EoSFL First Division ⬛️ Blackburn United 0️⃣ 🟦 Armadale Thistle 4️⃣ After a tight first half it was the Dale’s day as they hit four goals in 16 minutes either side of the half. A game where we failed to create and we now continue the search for the point that would guarantee our promotion. 🧵[1/2]

A very warm welcome and thank you to our matchday sponsors @brfcsdotcom. Ian Herbert from the team has made the long trip up today to show his support for the Burnie 🖤 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

Lunch done, permission granted—no excuses left now. The sun’s out and the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium is prepped and waiting…..time to get moving!! 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

League leaders Armadale Thistle arrive with the title within touching distance, but there’s just as much on the line for us too with a draw enough to seal promotion. With a big travelling support expected behind the visitors the stage is set, get behind the Burnie and be part of it! 🧵[1/2]

I’m in Dumfries. Tomorrow I’m taking in a game @bufc.bsky.social in Bonny Scotland roughly half way between Glasgow & Edinburgh. Blackburn Utd need a point to secure promotion. Yes…Blackburn…promotion. 😁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some are just thinking about the game tomorrow but others are already on their way via Dumfries, getting the first pint in and with a full itinerary planned, including a post-match Stranglers tribute band 🎸 See you at the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium guys. 🏴🏁🏳️ #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

After Brian and Kit’s singing masterclass, it’d be rude not to give you a wee helping hand sooo…..here’s your cheat sheet — the Burnie song lyrics. No excuses now 👀😀 🏴🏁🏳️ 𝘚𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘩 #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

You’re on board with the bright idea of backing the Burnie and you now know you’ll be through the turnstile tomorrow, pie and bovril in hand for little more than a tenner…..but what about the club song? Simple — grab Brian or Kit and they’ll set you right 😀 🏴🏁🏳️ #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

So, you’ve decided backing the Burnie really is a bright idea…..but now you’re wondering what it’ll set you back? Relax, you’re not funding a millionaire players lifestyle….. 🧵[1/3]

League leaders Armadale Thistle visit on Saturday looking to avenge our 2-1 victory at Volunteer Park in the reverse fixture and knowing that a win secures them the league title. A point would, of course, secure our own promotion. 🧵[1/3]

Following Bo’ness Athletic’s confirmed withdrawal from the football pyramid at the end of the season and combined with Saturdays results, the promotion picture in the EoSFL has become much clearer this weekend. 🧵[1/2]

With no match tomorrow we thought we’d still give you your Blackburn United fix… Our very own Brian Meechan found himself inside the iconic Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich, but rather than blending in he made sure he stood out! Some things just travel well. #montheburnie

Great to welcome some familiar faces back to the club on Saturday. Ex-players Alan ‘Audie’ Simpson, Paul Kerr and Keith Shanks were in attendance alongside former physio and current committee man Brian Meechan – all part of the same squad in the mid-80s. 🧵[1/2]
