HibeeJibee Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 "Ties-of-the-Round" (IMO)... Edinburgh City v Auchinleck Top of LL v Best Junior Turriff v Clyde & Whitehill v East Stirlingshire Potential shocks? Inverurie v Hurlford HL runner-up v Junior Cup holder Bo'ness v Culter ER Junior Champ v NR Junior Champ Gretna v Queen's Park Seems an appealling match-up.

Karpaty Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 A Peterhead-esq trip but one we might actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillinger Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Gretna away! The Scottish Cup is the gift that keeps on giving. Sesh-sational draw. Yes, very good draw for Gretna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wonder how many people will be happy with this. Quite a few "same old, same old" ties. Relatively happy with ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Great, a trip to the back of beyond where we will probably get papped out. Anyone else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairn was fantastic and a great night out couple seasons back. Public transport down on the Sunday with a hangover wasn't - looks like the GB will need to make an appearance.

Ray Vaughn Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Albion Rovers at Stirling Uni might not be the Saturday if the Uni plan to use Forthbank as Stirling Albion are at home in the league. Alternatively, their UNi could actually use the University ground as I assume that the criteria for the lowland league is higher than for the Scottish Cup.

come on shire Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm friends with Whitehill's Jordan Finnie. I might give him £20 not to score a hat-trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, their UNi could actually use the University ground as I assume that the criteria for the lowland league is higher than for the Scottish Cup. They did use Gannochy when they qualified for the cup in 2012. However, being pre-LL days that was their only venue at that time, and would be their registered EOSL ground. Gannochy is now only used for their continuing EOSL XI (their "2nds"), BUCS ties, and certain local cup ties for some contrived reason. So as they normally use Forthbank, which will be their LL registered ground, I suspect it'll be there. Facilities far superior to Gannochy too.

Albino Rover Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Stirling Uni have lots of good pitches on their own campus, not sure how they'd go about charging admission because IIRC it's all open access. With that in mind, since S. Albion and Stenny are at home on the 4th I can see the date being changed. In any case, a banana skin for the Rovers: SU's burd manager has them in a worse position than they were in with a man in charge last season; conversely our new boss has us in the ideal position. In-form senior team away to mediocre student outfit- that's the recipe for a cup upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her 5 games thusfar 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat, upto 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pastmaster Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Way back in the 70s Albion Rovers were held to a goalless draw by Glasgow Yoonie in the cup and only scraped through in the replay 1 - 0 thanks to a goal by Ray Franchetti - STV showed highlights of the midweek (afternoon) replay on the telly that night.

RedLichtie86 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think the Arbroath v Montrose game will be the only game of the round that has over 1000 fans in support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think the Arbroath v Montrose game will be the only game of the round that has over 1000 fans in support. If Linlithgow get through I think we'll have over 1000 for the Dalbeattie game. We did the last time we played them and we had well over 1000 for the home games against Nairn and Deveronvale last season plus 1600 against Spartans when we played them at home in 2007. The Scottish Cup definitely brings out some extra interest at our level. Bo'ness will attract close to 1000 from within their own support I'd think and you're overlooking the Talbot massive.

Correct - seems like someone who has no idea of the fan base of some of the non league teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
