It won't be played in Scotland so it could be tenuously labelled as International. This will probably be labelled as a border derby tie even though it's a fair trudge to get there from Dumfries.

forkboy Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Are Spanish & German fans as raging about Barcelona B being in the second tier or Werder Bremen II being in the third tier? I'm just curious, this isn't an argument for Scottish colt teams in the league, or even the Challenge Cup, I don't see the point and don't think it will actually do much to help the development of players and does just seem a transparent plot to have "more" games featuring the Old Firm, even though clearly nobody cares about Rangers & Celtic Colts. Xavi was going to be great whether he played for the Barcelona B side or whether he was put out on loan. Maybe there's some value in inoculating a player in the clubs culture & way of playing from an early age but a) not sure any clubs in Scotland have a "culture" or expected style of football & b) you can do that without having the reserve team playing part-time sides like Annan.

WeAreElgin Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 First cup draw I've seen in a long time that has made me laugh. I feel sorry for any Bray Wanderers fans thinking about an away day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 They'll be dancing in the streets of TNS tonight knowing that the Amber machine will be visiting, atleast it'll be a cracking away day/weekend, looking forward to the trip down. I'd fancy us to beat them this time around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Clusterflunk from Beeb reporting on Irn Bru second round draw. Dumbarton home to Connah's Quay and away to Buckie Thistle*! Also had Goodwillie scoring a hat trick from last season in their latest second division news. Double face-palm emoji! *Could of course be their "Colt" team.

That's an absolutely outstanding draw and you should be doing cartwheels. Would you rather be playing Ross County under 20s? Any Falkirk or Livingston fan unhappy with that draw is even more ridiculous than people refusing to boycott against Colt teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'll be in Galway on the 1st weekend of September for Connacht v Glasgow Warriors. If the times allow I may pop up to Sligo in the north of the province to watch Falkirk. If anyone goes back to Dublin to fly home keep in mind it's the GAA Final at Croke Park and County Galway are in the hurling. Expected to be a sell out. Good weekend if you like your sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, we've been really lucky with draws in this competition the last couple years. Crusaders away last year was a cracking trip and now TNS away I'm already looking forward to. Dont like the inclusion of Colt teams but warming to the Irish and Welsh teams being involved for the reason that it gives whoever draws them a great away day, we've now been lucky enough to have two in two seasons.

lionel hutz Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Home to Alloa - probably not going to go that one either. Inverness getting Aberdeen Colts - hilarious - as Robertson wants Colts in the leagues, and it'll mostly be made up of Inverness's team of the last 5 years haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this. Would much rather visit somewhere new than debate whether to go to Berwick away for the 17th time. Not getting ahead of myself ahead of this tie, noticed TNS were dished a pumping by Bala last weekend, and they've lost their manager and some top players, too. We're in with a better chance than last season but it'll be a tough one regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to go on the busses I'd be buzzing for this. But having years of mates dwindling away due to family commitments and generally they cant be fucked anymore, its not that an exciting trip on your own. The likelihood is there will be a hundred there and its still a meaningless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely after 15+ seasons home and away, i'm sat going, f**k it, I aint doing that this time. Sorry. Are you mental? A trip to Northern Ireland for the football is fantastic. I went to Ballymena v Cowden a few years ago and had a blast. Welcoming fans, great pubs and something different from playing the same teams over and over. Almost every other team in the draw is jealous of who Falkirk got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Why not just go on a trip to Ireland and forget about the football? Don't understand this appeal for Ireland or Wales so you get fucked watching a diddy cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A football fan who doesn't enjoy going on away days and drinking...Or maybe I could suggest having 5 pints instead of "getting fucked." Then you can enjoy the day, enjoy the beer, enjoy the football and still remember it all [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sligo & surrounding area looks stunning, don't think I'll bother spending any time in Dublin. An opportunity to visit a place I'd never consider if it wasn't for the draw.
