glensmad Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Cheers, I might be wrong about who won. Only a nipper at the time. First round of the West of Scotland Cup in season 1989-90, Rutherglen Glencairn 4 Ardeer Thistle 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardeer_Samoyed Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 First round of the West of Scotland Cup in season 1989-90, Rutherglen Glencairn 4 Ardeer Thistle 1. Wasn't far away with the year. 4-1 rings a bell now, think I got mixed up with a game around the same time against Vale of Leven which Ardeer won and was then replayed.

IrvineVicsMan Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I've watched every set of highlights that lokforever has put up this season and I must say how impressed I am with them, especially imo Tom Hanlon and Findlay Frye. I think the both of them are excellent as well as John Sweeney. They'll continue to sweep their way through this league and win it at a canter.

Were Greenock, Cumbernauld, Irvine Vics, Neilston and Ardeer in the top four when you played them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's havering. Played Irvine Vics second league match and Vics had lost their first game. Neilston's been near bottom all season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vics played you the 2nd game and had lost the first against Shettleston so we weren't too 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 And Greenock were only top four alphabetically on day one. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Saturday's fixtures :- Ardeer Thistle (10th) v Greenock Juniors (9th) Maybole Juniors (4th) v Irvine Victoria (12th) Rutherglen Glencairn (5th) v Cumbernauld United (7th) With the rest of the league on cup duty, the teams on league business have the chance to gain some ground on teams above them. Game of the day looks to be Glencairn v Cumbernauld, although Maybole v Irvine Vics could be interesting given the visitors' recent back-to-back wins. The prize for the winner of Ardeer v Greenock could be a jump up to the top half of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen there is no great difference between most teams with the exception of Pollock. A couple of wins could push teams right up the table and ease any fears of being dragged in to a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'll check the Glencairn centenary book when I get home this evening, it has all our cup results up to 1996. It was good to see Stephen Reid talking to Ross Ballantyne near the end of the game as both had been substituted, and there was no bad feeling, Ross knew himself it was an accident. Did ye know hen,that in 1897 Glens drew wi' a Rangers select in a friendly played on the Glesca Green? I think oor park was waterlogged at the time.

glensmad Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ardeer Thistle v Greenock Juniors - Crucial game for both teams, and a big opportunity for both teams to climb up to mid table. Both teams are conceding a fair amount of goals but scoring them as well, so this could be an entertaining game. Maybole Juniors v Irvine Victoria - The hosts would go 2nd with a win, but they meet a Vics side in good form after back-to-back wins. An away win would see Vics jump out of the drop zone. I know I predicted this last week with Maybole and it ended up goalless, but this could be a high-scoring game again. Rutherglen Glencairn v Cumbernauld United - Glens could go 4th or possibly 3rd with a win, but a 2-goal win for United would see them leapfrog us into 5th place. It's hard to predict matches between these two, Glens have won the last two in Rutherglen and United have won the last two in Cumbernauld, so I'm hoping home advantage will tell in our favour again.
