The same bombscare shortlees that kept a clean sheet against a much talked about cambria outfit and hardly conceded a goal in there last 6 or 7 games? I think you may be talking about the shortlees of old but they seem to have really gotten it together defensively of late so I think your comments are bullshit mate and giving zero credit where its due tbh! Your obv a weegie as your forever slating the ayrshire otherwise you wouldn’t know much about st pats or harestanes hence why you fancy the winner to come from there ties! Touchy. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Beating Hurlford Thistle is no mean feat these days and speaking to a few folk who were at the Larkhall match, Hurlford were robbed. In respect of Shortlees, I don't think it was as much as 6 or 7 games ago that they conceded 5 goals too kilbride thistle. They seem to have improved slightly i will give you that but Cambria are a shadow of the side that claimed West so not overly tested there. All I am saying is that I don't think they are defensively astute enough and believe we will see that if and when they draw a St Pats, Goldenhill, Pennies. Sorry for clearly upsetting you, clearly must be an Ayrshire thing. So to use some Ayrshire terminology....away dry your eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lector Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Oban saints tip seems to be quite touchy my reason for it was the experience of the last few years which is vital in the later stages . Personally think it’ll be shortless this year anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeswideopen15 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 To be fair Shortlees defensive side of their game seems to be tightened up for cup games. I think their last 3 cup games against some decent sides, Cambria, Cuper hearts and glenburn they have conceded 1 goal. Compare that to their last 3 league games and it's 10. Again against some decent sides in hurlford th, kilbride th and galston. Maybe it's coincidence or maybe it's a tactic to be harder to beat in cup games rather than the gung ho tactic they adopt in league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very busy man indeed. Who would have thought colville park would a been out at this stage eh? 100-1 says they would be out by this stage! By rights douglas should go down as favs to win it having knocked out the holders that are far and above the rest of ammy football. Haven’t heard them mentioned once I don’t think. But no doubt you will have them ruled out aswell seen as they don’t play in the central ya dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic off conversation was who we thought would win the tournament. I gave my opinion on who I thought would and the reasons i thought others wouldn't. My opinion. No one else's. I could be correct or totally off the mark but it is my opinion which I am fully entitled too. You are the one who responded with your weegie patter and this and that because I offered my thoughts on Shortlees defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeswideopen15 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Perhaps their players only turn up for cup games that would be more apt to say Perhaps u are correct, the point tho that regardless of if it's a tactical thing or players "turning up " is that they seem defensively sound against some decent outfits in cup games.

Cunny Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don’t normally come on this although I like to keek in now and again, so this thread has caught my attention, I am the ex Shortlees manager. All I want to say is nobody can say for certain this team or that team will win it. Although we are all entitled to tip teams, and debate, if we have watched certain teams games, or support a certain team To win the Scottish Cup is the hardest thing to do in Amy Fitba “obviously”.! There are 32 teams left in it, some obviously stronger than others, but when the dust settles on Saturday there will be 16 teams in it and we want to be one of them. If we win, we will be over the moon, it means we will still have a chance, and that will be the same for every team left in it, and the same will go for every team again, if they get to the next round, and the next, and so on. I wouldn’t rule anyone out at this stage, we have a wee chance the same as everyone else, but that’s all it is, a chance. The draw the weather, i.e. rain/wind, the parks, astro or grass, injuries, suspensions, bad or good refereeing, even linesmens decisions, travel, preparation, and some really good luck, will all have a big say in who wins it. Every team will be trying their best and we should all respect that. Good luck to every team in the Scottish this Sat, Buzzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campsie Minerva beat Shortlees last year in the west as they played to their advantage on a really small park, frustrating Shortless as really tight to play good football. Its luck of the draw and park, don't care what people say good team can play on any park etc. Top teams professionally struggle in cup ties as sometimes they play on terrible parks and underdogs are fighting for their lives to win. Same goes in Amateur football all teams are in the last 32 due to talent and fight. No team can be discounted especially so called underdogs.

However I do agree, certain teams are suited too certain parks and it definitely can have an effect on outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they have a good squad with players who can battle on a cow field to get a result. Saturday against Glenburn proved that. Glenburn fair play knew that Shortlees are the superior footballing team , hence choosing to bypass 3G and play on grass. Highlights the point luck of the draw , as home teams will play on poor parks to stop good footballing teams play. And if good footballing teams are at home usually they will book Astro so draw is important whether home or not for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
