HibeeJibee Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I see the draw is up on the EOS League website. I've highlighted LL clubs in bold. Mixed bag draw, but some interesting ties in store. Spartans face 3 of the bottom 4 clubs in the Scottish pyramid. Whitehill renew acquaintance with Civil Service, who they played in the season just ended and who put them out of the South Challenge Cup. Stirling travel to holders and EOS Premier Division champions LTHV; whilst EK hosts EOS First Division champions Peebles. Only a minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 all-LL ties in last 16 so potential for a lot of big ties come the sharp-end. http://eosfl.com/col.asp?cid=55 First Round Civil Service Strollers v Whitehill Welfare Craigroyston v Coldstream East Kilbride v Peebles RoversGala Fairydean Rovers v Leith AthleticKelso United v Hawick Royal AlbertLothian Thistle HV v University of StirlingOrmiston v Heriot-Watt University Spartans v Burntisland ShipyardTynecastle v Eyemouth United Second Round Civil Service Strollers/Whitehill Welfare v SelkirkDuns v Edinburgh UniversityEast Kilbride/Peebles Rovers v Tynecastle/Eyemouth UnitedEdinburgh City v Ormiston/Heriot-Watt UniversityGala Fairydean/Leith Athletic v Lothian Thistle HV/University of StirlingPreston Athletic v Gretna 2008Spartans/Burntisland v Kelso United/Hawick Royal AlbertVale of Leithen v Craigroyston/Coldstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 If Herio-Twatt beat Ormiston it'll be a return to the Stadium where he served Meadowbank Thistle with distinction for manager Ian Little.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 FT scores. Much as you would have expected. Narrow wins for LL clubs over top EOSL opposition Leith and Lothian THV... thumping wins otherwise. Craigroyston 4-2 Coldstream Kelso 1-5 Hawick Lothian THV 0-1 Stirling Uni Ormiston 3-2 Heriot-Watt East Kilbride 8-0 Peebles Gala 4-3 Leith Duns 1-5 Edinburgh Uni Preston 1-3 Gretna I took in the Duns-match and in fairness 5-1 was not a representative score. Duns more than matched Uni in the first half and had a deserved 1-0 lead at HT, whipped cross from the right which their striker took first time and screamed round the keeper. Wracked by injuries holidays and weddings Duns only had 12 players and had to deploy their only sub at HT, losing towering centre-half Brydon to a cut above the eye. Missing him in defence and with Uni's speed, fitness and neat passing troubling them more and more, they eventually fell behind and conceded 3 more late on. Blonde striker bagged hat-trick.

tynie1874 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We could have been a few up rather than a few down against Hawick at half time. Hit the bar 2 of the line first half went in 3 down wondering how. Another game about a referee very stop start. a red card for our manager and a 2nd booking along with 2 penalties. 1 of which was saved, one of they games where if u take your chances your in with a shout. But that's football. Young side at kelso with two 16 year olds getting a chance to show their worth along with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can pro players & even and players be sanctioned for criticising officials on social media, but you never seem to at this level willie?

BUZZZZ Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Gala suffered at the hands of another idiotic Ref who seemed to think that everyone was there to watch him for the second week in a row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Our ref at the Pennypit was fine. Then again we won . Gretna dominated the first half and Preston were fortunate only to be two down at half time. The second half was more even with both teams getting a goal a piece.

HibeeJibee Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Anyone know if there will be highlights of Gala v Leith? Both have done them in the past but not continuously. Sounds from twitter like it was a cross of Barcelona-Sevilla in last week's Supercup, Escape to Victory, and the Battle of Rorke's Drift...

Duns Fan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 FT scores. Much as you would have expected.

Craigroyston 4-2 Coldstream Kelso 1-5 Hawick Lothian THV 0-1 Stirling Uni Ormiston 3-2 Heriot-Watt East Kilbride 8-0 Peebles Gala 4-3 Leith Duns 1-5 Edinburgh Uni Preston 1-3 Gretna I took in the Duns-match and in fairness 5-1 was not a representative score. Duns more than matched Uni in the first half and had a deserved 1-0 lead at HT, whipped cross from the right which their striker took first time and screamed round the keeper. Wracked by injuries holidays and weddings Duns only had 12 players and had to deploy their only sub at HT, losing towering centre-half Brydon to a cut above the eye. Missing him in defence and with Uni's speed, fitness and neat passing troubling them more and more, they eventually fell behind and conceded 3 more late on. Blonde striker bagged hat-trick. Agree with this. Duns played really well but also fitness kicked in and in the eos page a said the uni played very well really good passing team. However, the penalty decision was very harsh as it was a dive. Even Tom Daley would have been proud of that. We lost two goals with free headers at corners and over the years its seems to have become an achilles heel for us Another point i mentioned in the Eos forum was the antics of the Edin uni manager swearing and screaming at the ref at half time and full time. It was absolutely embarrassing to watch and listen to and he certainly disgraced the Uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZZZZ Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Anyone know if there will be highlights of Gala v Leith? Both have done them in the past but not continuously. Sounds from twitter like it was a cross of Barcelona-Sevilla in last week's Supercup, Escape to Victory, and the Battle of Rorke's Drift... Plenty photographers but didn't see any video cameras! Some torturous defending by both teams which was contrasted with some nice football in the middle of the park. Leith started the brightest but fell away badly, especially in the second half when they failed to take make the most of their numerical advantage. Mind boggling decisions by incompetent officials had a huge effect on this game and will continue to have on the next few games to come as a thread bare Gala now have 2 first choice players on bans and it was not a dirty game by any means !

HibeeJibee Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dates for subsequent ties according to EOS website. http://slfl.co.uk/fixtures/fixtures-september/ http://slfl.co.uk/fixtures/fixtures-october/ Saturday 5th September First Round (3pm) - Spartans v Burntisland Second Round (3pm) - East Kilbride v Tynecastle (3pm) - Edinburgh City v Ormiston (3pm) - Gala v Stirling Uni (3pm) - Vale of Leithen v Craigroyston Saturday 3rd October First Round (2:30pm) - Civil Service v Whitehill Interesting change of fortunes - last season both the finalists came from the EOS League (LTHV / Leith); this season they are both out already and CSS or Burntisland are going to have to batter through a couple of rounds or some of others win their fairly tough R2 away ties, just for an EOS League team even to reach QFs. Incidentally their 8-0 demolition of Peebles was EK's first-ever win in EOSFA competition, and their record win in senior football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hibee Jibee can confirm but we haven't played at Ormiston since Tam the other Bam was manager. Similarly we've not had trips to Eyemooth or Kelsae for years either.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
