Decent selections from me. well done to all still in it. Anybody taking bets on the semis

Imagine that in a local derby.. levels.

Yes. Multiple times. Braehead had momentum and had they won on Sat they may have carried that on to this week. Just feel they have had the wind knocked out their sails. Going out the majors back to back is not uncommon. Fallin are a better side and have more big game experience over the last couple seasons.

Fallin -2 good to see that its all Central Region teams left In the cup.

Some of the support on the sideline were completely away with it (drinking, grappling with players taking throw ins etc) and would be interested if the ref reported any of the handbags at FT in his match report. At the very least he should have assistants. There will be red card(s) in the replay.

My selections this week are. Sandys (good luck to the ref) EKYM Wishaw Semi line up. EKYM Shortlees Fintry (after replay) Eastfield

Good luck to all teams tomorrow. Draw (braehead/Sandys) Shortlees Eastfield Fintry Draw (gartcosh/EKYM) Tollcross Drum Wishaw

Referees are quick to use the old “check the rule book” shout when they are justifying their decisions during a game. as rob roy says, if they aren't aware of protocol, they shouldn't be doing the job.

Spanner and works spring to mind

If it was mentioned at ht then the ref should stop game until they sort it. Especially at 0each its an easy call to make. maybe they just appealed it so they can get another big breakfast at Nonnas..

Some cracking ties this weekend in the last 32. I'm surprised not to see more Saturday morning teams left in, given their good results earlier in the season. Tie of the round for me is the Castlemilk v Shortless game. Home win for me. Good luck to all left in.

Todays result was never in doubt. This is the time of year that mick and his players will be licking their lips at. Tick the big games off one at a time and see where they end up. Mick and the squad will will have played in more big games than the players they are coming up against in the league and scottish cup, with the exception of one or two teams. they will be very happy with where he is at this stage of the season.

StPats manager away after Saturdays defeat? one poor major result too many..

Any games beat the frost?

League would suggest otherwise.

Good squad and good result. Although Whitburn are a poor lot. Re Knapp. The Select manager has always had a difficult task picking his strongest team, usually due to the fact the good players have a little baggage that comes with them. Saw it with numerous players over the years, misbehaving when away etc. Manager then gets told he cant select certain individuals.

Eastfield have a major in them in the not too distant future.

i don't know. When was the last time the CSAFL played its strongest team possible?

Line up? Didn't expect much else to be honest. If CSAFL team is as stormg as it could be then no select team will beat them.

For me it shows what a shambles the Scottish game has become. Quarter of the way through the season and a Junior team need to look to a successful Stirling and District level group of players and management team to keep going. I find it hilarious that a team who last week, harped on about how good "their" facility is, join forces with a team who have recently been horsed out the very same facility. Laurel and hardy don't have a look in with these guys.

Sad news indeed. Thoughts with everyone connected to Anvil.

Very difficult to get it right as scottish/west ties get called off then its the following week, so hard to find a date that would suit all players of the top teams. i personally think its a bit of a non event, given that players would no doubt prefer to be in scotland set up, and its a bit much to ask the top players to commit to all 3 teams. selects and scotland managers are onto a hiding to nothing in terms of players selected (or not) and where games fall in relation to club fixtures.

All the best to Joe and all the guys at Colville tomorrow. I bet they are delighted the season is about to start after a tough couple of weeks.

Cant see Milton being near top of the league. outside top 6. Doune, Callander or Kilsyth for the winner.

I would agree with the aforementioned pyramid type system for amateur to follow Scottish leagues in general. However I don't feel all clubs would benefit from going back to regionalised games, as the cream would come back to the top anyway and would have wasted a year or so. Teams should be asked to apply for super league set up 1 or 2 leagues, governed by the SAFA, those who don't apply should be grouped locally. The promotion to super league set up could be play off from all regional winners and relegated teams would go back to their local area. Super league teams should have ownership of facilities. long term sponsors (guaranteed for couple of years), proof of funds to be sustainable etc etc.
