It's good that we can win ugly; your first objective is to be in the next round and we're there. That's really all I have to say... Being greedy eh? Looks like Herd knows how to build a team though.He was a fine player and looks like he has what it takes on the sidelines too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Munro Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Played like an old fashioned junior cup-tie, ball in the air too much instead of on the deck. Team selection correct for the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydoc Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Horrible game, but getting through is all that really matters. Sauchie were pressing in the second half and could have gone on to win it, had the centre forward not had a moment of madness. Sauchie tactics were horrible though, keeper kicking the ball long for centre forward to chase. The epitome of long ball football. Not sure how much the wind / state of the pitch influenced the game, but that was as poor as I've seen Linlithgow this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Heid Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 It's all about the result and sometimes you have to win ugly. Whilst our midfield / forwards were off the boil our defence were superb. Wind spoiled the game - but same for both sides and possibly suited Sauchie more than Linlithgow.

grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Who do you boys fancy in next round? Big pay day or just a home tie?A big pay day. We’ve had rotten luck with these rounds where some of our biggest rivals from the Juniors have drawn the big ones.We got to Rnd 5 4 times I think and got QOS and Ross County away, and Falkirk and Raith at home. All decent pay days but Talbot have had Hearts away twice, Bonnyrigg had Hibs at Easter Road. This is a huge financial advantage and we surely get the rub of the Green at some point.Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen away please!

Care to explain that one. SFA advice following incidents involving Sauchie fans with Tranent and Bonnyrigg. you reap what you sow. Get your own house in order first. even yesterday they were throwing objects at the Rose fans. so basically. Roond ye !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 It’s a shame the Sauchie support felt like that but small clubs aren’t set up for segregation. We only have one pie hut.We often had the same problem when away to Bo’ness but I totally understand why they can’t have a pie hut for one game.

grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I stand corrected. Did the prem teams used to come in on round 4 then? Feel like they just have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like they just have. Prior to 2007/08, the big teams used to come in from round 3. That season saw the start of expansion, with 4 Junior teams then being added and thereafter Prem teams have been round 4 on (so 15 years). Recent further expansions saw prelim rounds added at the start, to whittle down the numbers. QOS was indeed round 4 in that first expanded season.

Stonewall - Mark got the ball and the keeper didn't. You'd be raging at your goalie for bringing him down when he is running towards the corner flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
