HibeeJibee Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'd suggest failing to get within 4 of the right number of ties when drawing R1 of the only competition you operate is worse than inviting a celebrity who proves excessively "jolly".

lithgierose Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 On 10/07/2017 at 18:04, HibeeJibee said: Indeed, typo on my behalf. Even then I'm not sure St Cuthbert v Girvan necessarily will be "close", possibly "closer" would be better: as for all that St Cuthbert have improved - ending last season not far behind Edusport and Wigtown and I'm guessing they will have or can pick-up some Wigtown players - Girvan are clearly fairly handy with back-to-back promotions behind them. Burntisland seem to have signed almost a new team but whether it'll be enough to see off the Amateur Cup champions I don't know. Colville needed a replay to get past Edusport last season then lost narrowly to Girvan... I imagine they'd be reasonably content to have drawn Burntisland and then Preston - both having big rebuilds after lowly finishes - but away ties are trickier and I don't know if Colville have retained most of their players, which is often a peril the successful amateurs face. It would be a shock if Glenafton, Threave, Linlithgow and the winner of Kelty v LTHV didn't come through the other ties. Perhaps a recovering Linlithgow look the most vulnerable. AYE ?

HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Assume you meant my Burntisland/Colville caveat ? Colville evidently got a better grip of things this season. Burntisland's a funny team... finished 2nd in their EOSQL section with 1W 1D 1L and led LTHV 1-0 at HT today, but also been pumped 0-7 13-0 7-0. Given the poor start made by St Cuthbert and indifferent one made by Preston it's now very hard to see past Linlithgow, Threave, Colville, LTHV, Glenafton and Girvan next week... BoD, Glasgow Uni and Preston would look the likelier to pull off a shock. Any news when R1 draw will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't yet see any announcement anywhere, but for reference last season's (with comparable dates for Prelim Round 2 and Round 1 proper) was made at 2:30pm on the Monday immediately after Prelim Round 2.

HibeeJibee Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Post on FitbaNorth claims it's 5:30pm on Saturday - which would be like the good old days of getting back to your car just in time for the draw! Unfortunately the way things have gone I doubt the radio will give it any attention, but might be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I asked the William Hill Twitter account if they'd be offering odds on the games today since they are the competition sponsors. They replied back with a list of game for the League Challenge Cup I told them that was for a different competition and sent them a link to the fixtures but didn't get a response. I'll probably go to the Banks O' Dee game tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think it's happened before in the Scottish Cup actually, but over the piece it'll be uncommon, you're right. St Cuthbert put up a better fist of it than expected, and Preston worse - but the anticipated results. As expected at Glenafton and LTHV.

foreverarover Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Right to save cash. Lossiemouth,inverurie and strathspey fans are to meet in Aberlour. The double Decker supporters bus will drop you off at your respective games and likewise on return. Seemples :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenafton will progress - home v weakest team left. BoD v much-improved Huntly intrigues. LTHV and Colville could surprise Inverurie and Cumbernauld respectively.
