LongTimeLurker Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Definitely seems determined to have an argument that none of the genuine LL or Talbot fans on here seem to be interested in having. Edinburgh City pumped Shotts Bon Accord 4-1 a couple of seasons back. Think most people who follow the juniors closely would have remembered that scoreline and would have grasped that they were no pushovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathman Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Edinburgh City have won more Scottish Cup ties than any other non-league club since the reorganization of the Scottish Cup. They have a great record against clubs from the Highland league. If they are odds against when they play Brora, a very good side, then that will be value.

surely not! Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Edinburgh City have won more Scottish Cup ties than any other non-league club since the reorganization of the Scottish Cup. They have a great record against clubs from the Highland league. If they are odds against when they play Brora, a very good side, then that will be value. Gonna trust you on that but it surprised me as they've not exactly been league high fliers during that time. Bookies should have Brora big favourites though- think they are the one non league team who would always be favourites against another non league team wherever they play. He'll, they were a shade favourite to beat east fife in the petrofac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie. Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So it's a big well done and congratulations to Edinburgh City who can now look forward to their tie against Brora Rangers. Meadowbank should get a good crowd for this and City with home advantage will quietly fancy their chances. East Kilbride and Spartans can once again pit their whi'ts against each other with the eventual winners hosting Clyde. Again this would be a tie with home advantage that either of the Lowland League teams would be looking to win. Good luck to Edinburgh City, East Kilbride and Spartans, keep the Lowland League flag flying. As for the other teams that participated, unlucky especially Gretna 2008 who fell to a 92nd minute deflected goal. Better luck next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What a strange person! Definitely seems determined to have an argument that none of the genuine LL or Talbot fans on here seem to be interested in having. Wait, what? You mean the Bot fans & you that have ONLY ever come on here to noise up the LL people, say how crap the clubs are, "non-pyramid that won't last", etc. Any other occasion no one will see you for dust. There's a reason why Juniors posters are regarded (unfairly) as the forum remedial cases, & it's exactly this sort of shitgibbonry where your ilk ONLY bother interacting with other sections looking for bother. Or to put it another way, why don't Linlithgow Rose fans - a club as successful as Talbot - not draw the same reflex chorus of "just f**k off" the moment they appear outside the Junior section. Aye, truth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gretnascotty Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Am I right in saying Spartans have never beaten East Kilbride since they came into the Lowland League? If so can any Spartans or EK fan tell why the hell Skybet has EK priced at a very generous 9/5 at home this Saturday? IMO a very tasty price that I might well jump on!

stanley Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm thinking of going to the Edinburgh City v Brora game in the next round as Hearts aren't playing that weekend. Should be interesting to see especially as these could be the teams that end up in the promotion playoffs at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Brora's chairman doesn't seem to think much of City. In an interview on their website he thinks they'll beat them and is already looking toward the R4 draw!! http://www.brorarangersfc.co.uk/club/267420/News/view/865385 Champions; Chairman eyes more Silverware 20 Oct, 2014 Following the victory over Elgin City and retaining the North of Scotland Cup, Chairman John Young spoke to us and made it clear he feels there is more to come from the Cattachs. “A great achievement and hopefully it wont be the last trophy we will be winning this season. We have a fantastic team here and if we can keep them together we will certainly win more trophies.” “Elgin, to my opinion today, were very disappointing. They are really a Highland League team and if that is the standard of League 2 we have nothing really to worry about.” “I cant see us winning the Scottish Cup but I think we will get past Edinburgh City and get a good draw in the next round.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a tube- has he never heard of teams pinning that kind of crap up on the dressing room as motivation? Not a scholar of the School of Philosophy of that ancient thinker Michaelus of Lawsonii obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie. Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I won't be the slightest bit surprise come 17.00 on Saturday to see that both Edinburgh City and Spartans have both progressed to the next round of the Scottish Cup. Good luck to both and may they continue to fly the flag for the Lowland League for a few more rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 What might be more shocking is the pictures in the papers, was at AP today & saw 3 of our stars dressed up holding the Cup whilst being shot by a couple of photographers, I took a sneaky couple of shots too, ha ha, all will be "revealed" later.

tamthebam Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You know there's a few highly annoying Clyde wallopers on this forum (and only one Grim!) so for once in my life I'm going to say Come on Spartans! ooh, I feel dirty, really dirty now.....
