Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thanks to the OP's lack of definition on "cup" I'm obliged to pipe up with Aberdeen's last knockout at the feet of a diddy team, Queen's Park, in the 2nd round of the League Cup in 2006-7. 0-0 after 120 mins, 5-3 on pens. QP were in tier 4 at the time and went on to win promotion in the same year. Aberdeen ended their season in third spot in the Premier league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Falkirk literally had the most expensive player in the world making his debut at a SC tie at brand new SFL entrants Bathgate FC in 1922 which we only went and lost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayseed Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 A Cup Shock can often be a bit of a smash and grab with the big team unlucky. For my team the 4-0 humping from Stenny in 1995 was a complete gubbing and should have at least been 6. We had a decent side back then and trotted out like Billy big baws, and got completely hounded. To make matters worse, we signed their right back Euan Donaldson for 90 grand and he was utter garbage and hardly kicked a baw for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Brilliant amount of 'shocks' appearing on P&B, recent times show how close non lge is to Lge2 now. Guess you go part time v full time, number of leagues between clubs, lets find a different word for 'shock' maybe ? Upset sounds good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one who was around back then would ever equate last night with that day.

Edinburgh University 5-2 Hearts (SF 1881-82) and Mossend Swifts 1-0 Hibs (1887-88 Final) were huge Edinburgh Shield shocks. Sadly indeed. I was there at Central Park which had Cowden's largest ever crowd - way over 26,000. Cowden went 4 - 2 up with a early goal from big Ming. Rangers got the equalizer with 30 seconds of normal time to go !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night is obviously up there as one of the biggest in recent history but the number of league places between the sides is a bit of a misnomer due to the recent amalgamation of the pyramid and the bottleneck at tiers 5 and 6. That Darvel side would be fine in L2 imo. They would be fine in L1. Clearly have a better side (and budget) than some L1 sides. Obviously already horsed Montrose 5-2 and they are considerably better than Peterhead and Clyde. I'd be very happy to have the likes of Kilpatrick and Meggat back at Alloa. We have people looking at it and seeing tier 6 and that it's the greatest shock ever but has to be seen in context of Darvel's huge budget. It's not a tier 6 squad or anything near it. While still a great achievement, it definitely isn't the greatest shock ever. Not even Aberdeen's worst defeat, I'd say Stenny's win over the Dons in 94 was a bigger shock given Stenny weren't financially doped (and Aberdeen had a good team then, even if they weren't having a good season). I'll throw in Alloa's Central League team of 1921 who beat top flight Falkirk (after 4 games) and top flight Clydebank (after 3). Then drew 0-0 at Ibrox with Alloa fans claiming a late effort crossed the line. Only lost after the board agreed a pay off to play the replay at Ibrox as well. Alloa made it back there as First Division equals of Rangers within 18 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
