O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) By my reckoning this is the first time we have hosted the Loons at home in the Scottish Cup since January 1970. That day a struggling visiting side won 2-1 to set up a home tie with the now-defunct Rangers of Glasgow - they lost that one 0-7. Anyway, we need to show the same levels of commitment as last Saturday, and hope that McKee and Quitongo are fit to play. As for the Loons, we should expect something of a new manager bounce which will make them dangerous opponents.

I think Brian McPhee scored a terrific equaliser in the first game. Might have been 2007? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfar got through to face Rangers as Oki said but in 2007 we got to play Rangers too in the next round.

Don't blame you for casting this from your memory, as it turns out that this was during the dog days of the McCabe dynasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee's industrial level cheating was off the scale in that match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, this tie's really generating cup fever, innit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be some sort of seeding system that prevents teams from the same division being drawn against each other in the early rounds. I'm going tomorrow out of habit and boredom more than any enthusiasm or excitement for welcoming the Loons (no disrespect intended). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The club have put on a free bus so should be a decent turnout from us. Pressure is off really...wouldn’t expect to win the match but I can see us getting a draw and being in the hat for the next round! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm looking forward to it. No great expectations just hoping we are not as shit as last time.

tbsouth Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Massive game for the club, a real chance to be in the next round and pluck a plum tie away to Brora. Surely there will be 'bounce' from the change of management, Kirkie looked to be ready to strike on Monday 0-0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for most fans but I'm sure people go for a number of reasons other than just pure habit. Tomorrow I'm likely heading along myself as others aren't bothering, I'm going purely because I have f**k all else to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid you are very much in a minority on that BBPF. The town is buzzing - this morning in Argos I overheard two teenage girls discussing Rico's (quote) injury situation, then a guy at the bottle bank told me that when the draw was made his cousin rescheduled his wedding. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
