Mon_The_Fife Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Brechin have just plummeted to a new low. An absolute minter of a result.We’ve had a few shockers in the cup recently with Brora and BSC Glasgow beating us but losing to an EOS side is a whole new level. Good to still have a few non league sides left in, we will undoubtedly draw Forfar though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The process was that anybody who wanted to could apply. The juniors ignored it collectively for about 3 years, which is why they now find themselves a league below some smaller clubs who took the precaution of bothering to apply. There wasn’t really all that much ‘luck’ about it.There was no jeopardy for the EOS clubs though. The Juniors as an organisation didn't engage; Individual clubs were interested but there were threats and misinformation promulgated by the Junior blazers over what would happen to those who applied. Not as easy leaving the strongest non-league organisation at the time compared to the EOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was Penicuik 3 Stenny 0 last season and Stenny weren't as bad last season as Brechin are this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Spartans had goalie coach Steve Ellison on the bench today. Which makes him the last former Meadowbank Thistle player to be listed in a line up for a Scottish Cup tie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin are struggling in their league so it's maybe not shock of the season although the Rose won well in the end. Both Broxburn (Cowdenbeath) and Penicuik (Stenny) beat SPFL teams last season. Enjoy Forfar when you draw them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that, 34 Clubs in HL and LL between them plus anyone who's ahead of Lithgae in the EoS Premier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works. You can't simultaneously include teams who aren't in the same region. You can either count it as the number of places Brechin would have to drop to reach Linlithgow or, more commonly, the number of places that Linlithgow would have to climb to reach Brechin.

Jimmy Shaker Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Brechin are going to fill their fucking nappy if they end up in the Highland League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't that many volunteers around and clubs can only let a minimum in to cover the games. Clubs really should be finding a way to deal with this. Clubs are still allowed a bare bones level of match critical attendees, it's not much to ask that one of them works a phone to alert someone outside the ground as to what's going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Fun wee fact about yesterday’s games: Nicky Hogarth player for Cowdenbeath on an emergency loan yesterday in their 2-0 win over Wick Academy. His dad Myles was on the bench for Linlithgow Rose as they beat Brechin 3-2. Credit to the guy running the RFC Youths blog for that one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogarth senior is of course famous for donning the glorious number 1 jersey for the sensational Falkirk Bairns, but also for reaching the papers after ending up in a scrap after someone was a bad boy with someone else's wife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
