Cowden Cowboy Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 3 hours ago, parsforlife said: 18/19 at best competition to be complete 2 months into the following season, fixture currently clashes with first team match, let’s see when this actually happens. 17/18 - dafc vs Burntisland, match abandoned, never replayed- Burntisland given progress 16-17 east fife withdrew. 15-16 only 1 game played 14-15 not played 13-14 semi-finals not played 12-13 completion abandoned 11-12 Competition completed in full! 10-11 no competition 09-10 abandoned at semi-final stage 08-09 abandoned competition 07-08 competition completed. 06-07. Competition completed 05-06 competition completed 04-05 competition completed So I’ve slightly overestimated how far back we have to go to find the competition being played in full on a regular basis. But 1 in 11 doesn’t exactly look good either. Most of the years the competition wasn't completed the issues were with your club under its previous ownership. Raith Rovers to a lesser degree. In 2016 the clubs met and had a critical review of the way forward. One choice was to abandon the competition with all its history - no club really wished that to be the outcome (the late Margaret Ross represented Dunfermline). Thus continuation was agreed and each club rep took responsibility for their club in terms of advancing the competition. The idea was to complete the competition and thus they dealt with the team manager re getting a fixture scheduled and if any problems arose. It was also agreed that if a team ultimately had an ongoing difficulty in fulfilling a fixture then what would happen was what used to happen many years ago. If any team is in that situation they simply scratch allowing their opponents to advance with the ultimate aim of the final being played. Thus an attempt has been made to preserve a bit of Scottish football history - the oldest county competition still being played. With 3 new teams joining there is interest in the tournament and I don't think when Burntisland Shipyard won for the first time they did not see it as a major achievement. Crowds are certainly more than you get for a Development match. The final going into the next season is hardly a new thing - that has happened many times during the competition's history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Easy Fife vs stirling that night. Either east fife move the 1st team game to the Wednesday(don’t know east Fife’s preference for midweek home games but typically these fall on the home sides preference without unusual circumstances), could play this game on the alternative night providing east fife can cope(we have done reserve games and first team matches back to back pre-season, tho usually resulting in a very week reserve squad) Pars not involved in teacake cup until the next round. Unlikely they will shift the Tunnocks Cup-Tie, and if the Fife Cup date can’t be shifted it’ll be the Reserves Team/Under 20’s that’ll be playing, even if it is shifted to the following day it’ll still be that side and I would imagine any unused 1st-teamers who didn’t play the previous night who’ll be getting medals!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Think we've already confirmed we'll be using this tournament as an extra game for the reserves. I'd expect to see Danny Devine, Tom Lang and Matty Bowman given some minutes in their legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
