Clayhole Blue Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A national semi-final is not to be sniffed at and I would expect that Ginge will have the guys geed-up for this one. Based on yesterday I worry slightly about our defence as Stenny didn't really look like scoring but for our very early Christmas gifts. But we have recent cup form to throw into the equation with wins in the last year or so over Ross County, Falkirk and Dumbarton (twice) from higher leagues, a draw against Inverness, and very decent displays against County (again), Hibs and Inverness in the replay. So our guys can upset the odds against clubs from upstairs. Possibly the worst draw we could have got in the semis, considering both prospect of progression and monetary reward, and I have a doubt that we won't bring that many fans given the timing and the fact that the tie is live on BBC Teuchter, but still hoping we get it right on the day and we do have the manager and players to do the business if Livi aren't fully on their mettle. #monblu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Aye probably about 200_300 Stranraer fans I would expect. A couple of buses. A lot of people taking cars due to late kick off. Also easy for central belt Stranraer fans to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Here's hoping for a sunny Sunday and a decent game. Get the Hippo on from the start up front with White and lets get some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hey great - somewhere to talk about football with football fans rather than all the crud going on post rangers match. Has anyone heard how Craig Sives is coming along; we're rally looking very thin at the back now. Hopefully our forward line will get a bit more space than they had been previously and, with the shakeness of our defence, should lead to an open game.

Jimmy MCcabe Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well that will be both of us looking rather thin at the back with our recent injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our forward line will get a bit more space than they had been previously and, with the shakeness of our defence, should lead to an open game. Sives was discharged from hospital on Saturday night, should (hopefully) be okay to play on Sunday. Mensing played the first half against Alloa in the development match so he should be back soon too.

Moonball Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Buzzing for this one, should be a great occasion. My worry is the injury list. With Pettigrew and Robertson almost certainly out, could we play Gallagher at his old position of full back, since we have a few other options in midfield?

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yep a welcome break from our league campaign after 3 straight defeats against Raith, Hearts and Sevco. Sives should be back, though tbh I'd have preferred Talbot in at CB with Dycey and having Rutherford at LB. Sives and Dycey look a bit shaky together.

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Distinct lack on admission info on this game, our OS only has deals for hospo and the AS, nothing about ticket/gate prices or if you can just PaTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Admission for Livingston v Stranraer on Sunday: £15 adult, £10 concessions, £5 kids. Saw this on Twitter. Get the excuses in early. An under strength Stranraer will find it tough. No Scott Robertson, Craig Pettigrew or Steven Bell. Hope Willie Gibson makes it in time. Or its 4 definite starters missing.

Afro Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yep a welcome break from our league campaign after 3 straight defeats against Raith, Hearts and Sevco. Sives should be back, though tbh I'd have preferred Talbot in at CB with Dycey and having Rutherford at LB. Sives and Dycey look a bit shaky together. Agree with you there, LF. Thought Talbot was solid against Rangers on Saturday and Rutherford looked impressive - makes his omission against Hearts a few weeks back look even more odd. In saying that, I thought Sives going off changed the game in a way, having Kyle in the midfield breaking up the play meaning Keaghan could play further up, and looked like it was working well. Hopefully we can get a good win here because the last few results have been disappointing to say the least, particularly the Raith and Hearts games. Good to hear so many Stranraer fans are making the trip up, should make for a decent atmosphere. I can safely predict that this game will be nothing like our last meeting, though.

Guest TOPFITTER Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If Wullie Gibson makes it and Stranraer's defence cuts out the Schoolboy Comic Capers at the back then even a patched -up 'Raer have a good chance, on the other hand if not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope it's PaTG, our OS has finally put the admission details up but Blue1870 has put up the details in an earlier post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy MCcabe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 That would be my choice. Unfortunately I think Ginge will disagree. Take Gal out of midfield and you take out a hell of a lot of workrate though Think we may start 5 in midfield, who will fill in at right back, is open to debate but im sure worked on it Tuesday, Thursday so everyone will know what they are doing.

dusty bin Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Good luck to THE BLUES on Sunday. Will be cheering you on. Great effort getting this far. Lets get stuck in and who knows. In GINGE WE TRUST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Wonder if we'll go back to the 4-2-3-1 we've played most of the season or stick with the 5-3-2 we played against Sevco. Jamieson Fordyce - Sives* - Talbot Ky.Jacobs Rutherford Ke.Jacobs - O'Brien - Robertson Hippolyte - White *Assuming Sives is okay to play, if Mensing is fit I wouldn't have a problem with playing there. Or we could go with: Jamieson Ky.Jacobs - Fordyce - Sives - Talbot O'Brien - Ke.Jacobs McKenna - Robertson - Glen White Again assuming Sives is fit. Still gives us the Hippo to bring on in the second half against a tiring defence. Looking forward to this one, hopefully we can get to the final and win our first game since about this time last month, and hopefully we can do it in the 90 minutes. Would like the same scoreline as the last time we played but somehow can't see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
