Delighted. Delightful. Excellent. We held on to a lead. Well done to all involved. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

I don’t remember ever wanting my team to lose any game. In fact I can safely say that’s never happened. I’m not saying I want us to lose in the first round of this cup competition either. However, with home teams keeping the gate money it would be quite a big loss financially for us to have any success in this cup. We would never get a home tie. It would be no surprise if we lost to Stirling University anyway. I will not lose any sleep if we do. It’ll be difficult tie after difficult tie with no financial benefit.

My opinion is the game has no chance. It’s freezing. It’s to be -3 at 4pm today and to creep above freezing at midday tomorrow.

Freezing temperatures all week. Not looking good for this Saturday.

Good home draw against another Lowland League side in the next round. Best of luck for the rest of the competition.

I would think these odds are about right. Inverness absolutely should win. However the game has to be played and you have to earn it. Not a good draw for us tbh. Still it’s good experience for our players. Whatever the score.

Aye. Fitever.

Extremely tough draw for us. Hopefully we can put in a good performance. Even if we do I think it’s a tall order to get into the next round.

Just checked the results. Some good teams left. We can park this now but I must say I’m enjoying this cup run. Hopefully we can get a home draw or a nice away day if we can avoid the obvious tough teams.

What an away day that would be. Fingers crossed. I would make it a weekend away.

When’s the draw? Who’s still in the pot?

Yes. It was an enjoyable afternoons sport.

I’m with you.

4 up at HT. A couple of good goals. Especially the second. Great move. Lanark started off well with a good shape and obvious motivation. However a collapse in the last 20 mins of the half. Still it’s been good entertainment.

With Dougie Hill leaving I’m hoping we are getting a centre half as a replacement.

Rodden sent off. He’s just back from suspension. Poor.

Did we take some sedatives at half time. A collapse at the start of the second half.

I must say I’ve enjoyed the two games against Linlithgow. Really tight games and each of them could have went either way. I normally don’t do away games but I have never been to Linlithgow and I’m told they have a good set up. I think I’ll make a trip over in January. They brought a decent number over yesterday. Kudos.

Any news on Zac Butterworth? Hope he’s ok.

Tis actually

First of all I hope the injured guy recovers quickly. We’ve had lots of draws where I thought we should have won. This is different. Linlithgow we’re organised and motivated. It was certainly a hard fought game. I’ve seen quite a number of games in the Lowland league, this season and last. I don’t think I’ve seen a team who constantly try to influence the officials as much as Linlithgow do. It’s on a ridiculous scale. Whinge, whinge and whinge. I take it that it’s part of the team talk. Our goal was a great finish. I’ll take a point and move on.

My goodness we love a draw. Had enough chances to win the game. Saying that Albion had one or two as well. We played the better football however. The point blank save by the Albion keeper at the end was amazing. Zac Butterworth even playing out of position was my mom. I like the way we always play out from the back. Scary at times but the right way to play. Another tough game on Saturday. Some players back so hopefully 3 points this time.

Back to league business on Tuesday and Saturday with tough games against Albion Rovers and Linlithgow. We need to park the cup run and get some league points. Will Rodden be back for these games?

This was always going to be a closely contested tie. Delighted to get through and in the draw for the 3rd round. It would be nice to get a favourable and winnable tie. Well done to all involved today. Happy weekend everyone. ️️

Tomorrow’s game must be in doubt. Horrendous weather at the moment and it’s to stay that way for 24 hours. Rain, rain and more rain.
