With the Dundee Hibs attendance of 191, Celtic and Livingston attendances to be added and St Johnstone playing tonight, we can confirm that there are at least 2305 scabs among us.

What date/s are the next round of fixtures on?

Due to be played 8th/9th Sept. Was at last nights game but if we end up drawing a Colt side I would not be attending even although these games are included on our season ticket. As for 20/22 year olds getting games if they have not done enough to earn a regular game for their own team or loaned out where they can by that age its unlikely they are going to make it at senior level.

Slight difference......our floodlights were working before and during the game unlike the Franchise mob....give the Linlithgow neds there due, at least they tried to light up the match.

2-0 now....watch the Dundee United fans saving face by saying they dont care about it 

And they won. Another Colt team pumped.

 4 colt teams advance to the next round. And 2 were guaranteed in All Colt ties, Motherwell beat non-league East Stirlingshire. Only Accies colts beat a league club in this round.

Not that it matters but it was a smoke bomb, not a flare.
Still a floodlight failure, but yeah. Shit happens.

The nedism was very unpleasant and I've never seen these guys at the Rose before or since, but it has to be said, the dim light through the maroon smoke was very atmospheric.

Forfar were 1-0 down last night when the game was abandoned on 73 mins. I wouldn’t discount Livi colts in the rematch just yet.

The debate about Colt or B teams in the league has at least some sense to it: giving younger players regular matches against older professionals can be argued for and against. That's for another time.

But why anyone thinks Maurice Ross would have suddenly became Cafu or Mark Burchill woulda been the new Larsson if they were given the chance to get beat 2-0 by Dumbarton or Ayr Untied once a year is beyond me.

Half the ties drew under 350. Almost a third under 250.

From my recollections of discussion last year I presume tonight's crowd at Tannadice has again shattered their post-war record low crowd in normal conditions? Indeed it may even endanger the couple of outliers posted on weekday afternoons during the fuel crisis.
