GMBairn Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think we should rest a lot of guys for this game, there are a few carrying injuries and a bunch of new guys that will need a run out and a chance to get fit. I normally like the cup but this year I couldn't give a f**k, we have more important things to worry about and too many players are struggling for fitness or a bit new to the team atm. In Defence;Tumilty might be gone, or still carryng a knock, either way he is out for me. McGhee has also been carrying an injury for a little while it seems so I would keep him out. In Midfield; I would rest sibbs and bring hippo on in his place, welsh in for taiwo and blair in for kidd. Up front: I would give nelson and longridge a break and bring in Jakubiak and Loy. (especially nelson as he admitted he was finiding the schedule a bit tough coming from the under 23's league and he had to go off knackered and with cramp at the end of the morton game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I imagine we will rest players but given the fragility of our finances at the moment I would think we will want to get through this game and attract a bigger draw in the next round hopefully.

Aye the quid pro quo phrase which was used for our dealings to improve the squad doesnt really stand up for now Austin probably cost us money to get out and maybe Gasparotto if not both were no income in for them. I just cant see players leaving for heehaw when under contract in today's world of agents getting every last penny out of a contract when they are in the best bargaining area. We will be paying the majority of Shepherds wage and we would've paid off Henderson. If we are looking to offload Harris, Craigen, Loy, Kerr and Miller, no one is telling me it wont cost us. So progress in the cup would do us a financial favour, after all an away cup game at Livvy will not put us in the money, I dunno regarding the rest players scenario, obviously if players will benefit from rest then so be it but I'm not convinced we have a settled enough 11 or so to do so and this would give us a chance to do so and attempt to get a winning away formula. The cup is our last chance of rescuing something from this season either financial or reaching a latter stage, I cant see us finishing 9th now and would like some ra ra ra ra of the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitburn Vale Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Put this game in the doubtful category for Saturday already.....,snow coming tonite,tommorow and wednesday with sub zero temps there after to the weekend. Livingston sits at the foot of the Pentland Hills and gets blasted more than most with cauld weather when winter arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Difficult to get excited about this one; the fourth time we met in little over half a season... yawn. Sure Falkirk fans are feeling the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just beginning to come together as a team so would be a bit wary of making too many changes, also probably won't want to cup tie any of the wage thief's that we want to move on.Hoping that this is off as I will be in sunny Stornoway on Saturday!

Pretty sure it's supposed to keep snowing until Thursday night. Absolutely no chance this is on unless we get a heatwave when the snow stops. We should probably turn on our undersoil heating...

ShaggysBeard Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I had to dig the car out a bit this morning (Pumpherston). It'll not be on, Livingston's pitch doesn't stand up well to adverse weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know both clubs can agree to a price (generally lower than normal) but if no agreement it goes to standard league pricing or something along those lines. @Skyline Drifter will tell it better than me.

LiviLion Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Considering we tried to charge £20 to watch a junior team, I can't even pretend to blame Falkirk here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don’t really see what the surprise is with prices tbh, given we tried to charge £20 for the Glenafton game it’s not really a shock we are pricing this at standard league prices. If you don’t want to go because of the price don’t go, if you do go, enjoy the game. Regardless it’s going to need an upturn in the weather here in Livingston this week for this game to have half a chance of going ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
