I take your last point, but there were postponements in East of Scotland leagues to, but all teams (I think) have had more than 1 league match to date, since 6 April.

No team wanting to win the West Of Scotland Premier League? Thought Clydebank were a shoe in at one point, but no wins in February 24 seemed to put the breaks on that one. Now, Beith have only won, one of last 3 matches. Auchinleck can now draw level if they win all their games in hand, but is that a step too far? Also, what’s with Clydebank having no league matches since 6 April? Momentum can be key, but this gap must be detrimental to their cause.

Certainly didn’t do Glenrothes any harm last night, but I do take your point that for some, relegation/promotion will be the priority.

Moving into the Fourth Round/Quarter Finals, all ties now clear cut; Match 1. Arniston (1st div - 11th place) v Glenrothes (Prem div - 13th) Match 2. Hill of Beath (Prem div - 7th) v Sauchie (Prem div - 4th) Match 3. Haddington (Prem div - 8th) v Crossgates (Prem div - 15th) Match 4. Whitburn (1st div - 4th) v Preston (1st div - 12th) Match 1 v Match 2 / Match 3 v Match 4 for semi final slots. Semi finals will consist of 2 Prem div sides and 1 First div side with Prem v First to complete last 4 teams.

Really surprised at that result. Haddington hammered Glenrothes 7-0, ten days ago. Just shows that you cannot take any result as read. Great cup win for Glenrothes

Good post Saw Preston beat Kinnoull last week in the League Cup, the home side winning 4-2 after extra time. Thought Preston were the better team, even in 9 mins, but not much in it. Top of League1 has been very competitive in past 2 season, but Kinnoull will be very much in the mix should they go down.

Got to think that even a win for Kinnoull, they will still go down. Fair play to them if they manage to win their last 5 matches, but even then, one win in 5 for both Luncarty & Glenrothes (never mind Hillfoot and Crossgates) would see Kinnoull down anyway. Good luck to them all

Of the bottom 6 clubs, I think Luncarty are the best of them all. Said a wee while ago that I didn’t think they would get relegated. Most likely bottom 3, as is, will go down, unless Crossgates get 10 pts from last 6 matches?

On a less ramble of a post; this feed is on page 99, having only started up in June 23. Compare to Linlithgow which has 39 pages of posts. (Comparing as these two pages have always had more posts than other 'EoS' teams When pie and Bovril seems to be on a continuous slow death rate, great to see fans of a club willing to share their thoughts so much. D Dave obviously contributes a lot with match updates - also great to see

Who do you think are the other bankrolled teams in the league? I'm not so sure that a bankrolled team automatically wins the league. Yes, EK spent more (certainly brought in loads of players), but players have to gel to make a team and sometimes egos will get in the way so no guarantee on the playing/winning front. In saying that, I found it funny; comments made by some of the Tranent fans on their supporters Facebook page. Nose was certainly out of joint with EK. But, only a few weeks ago, some were saying that if they beat EK away, then they were back in the running for the league. Today, Tranent sit 24 pts behind - bit of a capitulation. I've transgressed somewhat, but in the past few years, Tranent has also spent a fair bit on their squads / management teams, bringing in loads of players / shipping out at nearly same rate. However, it took a few years before they were promoted to the Lowand League - coming back to thought that large investment in funds doesn't guarantee league success.

Haddington to join them in the quarters after Tuesday night’s cup-tie

Used to think your posts were a good read

Was probably jesting about Jeanfield, who will be favourites to advance? Hill of Beath is a good shout, given their recent results All subjective, but I can hope!!

So a semi final quartet of; Sauchie v Broxburn; and Whitburn v Haddington Thaughts

Apologies Fuzzy. Got it wrong so have deleted my post.
