Andy_K_97 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 For the first time since 1985 we've drawn non-league opposition in the Scottish Cup. For those of you wondering what happened that day, Inverness Thistle beat Killie 3-0 in a game that Killie fans of a certain vintage refer to as the Highland massacre. Anyway, Brora are coming to RP for the first time ever and I think it'll be a memorable day for both clubs. On paper we're massive favourites and in years gone by I'd have said that it's a potential banana skin but with our form right now I'm pretty confident that we'll get the job done. I think we need to make the effort to make the Brora fans feel very welcome indeed given that it's a 500 mile round trip when they've already had to travel something in the region of 1400 miles already in the cup.

kennysmassiveego Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I fully expect this thread to reach at least 20 pages pre match as the vitriol and bile spills forth with the rabid marauding teuchters in there kilts threatening the brave Killie boys with there chibs they stick down the inside of there hairy socks and there strange musical instruments . Another problem I foresee is on the catering front ....what do these people eat? Our haggis supplies are exhausted after Burns night. Also I don’t recommend too much close fraternisation with them because if they catch our germs it could be lethal to them and there kith and kin Welcome them by all means but don’t interact too much as it will just cause them difficulties settling when they return to the highlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Should be televised or a featured game on Sportscene. After Dunfermline vs Morton got featured in the last round though, fucking anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If the game was at Brora then it would have had a better chance of being on TV. A non-league side away to a top flight club is much less interesting, because there's not the novelty factor of a new ground, and there is much less chance of a shock.

ICTChris Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Ross Tokely played fifteen games at Rugby Park as a player, winning four, losing six with five draws. He lost both cup ties played there, both when ICT were in the lower leagues in 2001 and 2010. Looking at the Brora squad, they have a few players with league experience like Steve Mckay, Zander Sutherland, Gavin Morrison but it would be an immense shock for them to get a result here. Has a non-league side ever beaten a top flight team in the Scottish cup before? When Caledonian drew with St Johnstone in 1992 it was the first ever time a non-league team had avoided defeat against top flight opposition.

Dundee were 5th top at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
