What is funnier rubarb the clown claiming we struggle on astro given our home ground is one, or that we have the biggest budget in the league.
Where did this guy come from.

St cadocs right in the mix now, would say they have to beat us next week. Two defeats at home to gartcairn and largs have really fucked us over,we could get 18 from the last 6 and see what happens.
Think Beith will go on a run now and win the league by 6 or 7 points.

Rather than the thriving metropolis of Clydebank? Which competition do you value? Then we will all know what you would like to win one day or better still, we could tell you how it feels to win things.
I will pass on your historic tales but thanks for an easy 6 points this season.

Indeed, the junior cup is a shell of a competition with no relevance unless you are from a backwater like Auchinleck.
Any team that wins it can have no claim to be the best of anything.

Is there pressure on the boss to deliver? I would imagine it could be costly to remove him giving that he has a new contract.
What are the criteria the club set out for the manager/team? I would thought that promotion was top of the list, if they fail to better 4th spot then they are no further forward a year down the line.
Bigger clubs such as Pollok have ended up in a bad way trying to push things forward and recruiting the wrong type of players/characters. We have no where near the support of the like of Pollok/Talbot even Bankies to a lesser extent so we are more reliant on funders to compete at that level.
How many goes do the board give the team at promotion? I theory play offs should be easier, the better East of Scotland sides will be in the LL, the SoS offer very little in way of competition. The difficult part is winning the league. One thing I like about Clydebank is their stats online, A win percentage of just over 50% I don't think is good enough as manager.
It has been proven time and time again throwing money at a team isn't a sure way to guarantee success. I would say we have been one of the higher spenders in recent years, all we have to show for it is 1 league title which we won the year after covid as we were throwing money around and other clubs were keeping things tight. I wouldn't like to guess how much has been spent under the JG reign, I don't think the true cost will ever be known however in terms of return on investment I think it has been poor.
On the other hand Talbot are meant to be significantly cash rich however are never massive spenders, Beith are another team that never seem to be throwing stupid money around however have a manager that is well versed with the league at this level. Are these two clubs just better run? You can't put Talbots formula for success down to luck certainly not after 20 years of Tommy Sloan in charge.
There is no doubt we have wasted money however one thing I would say in our defense we have a far improved ground than what we had 6/7 years ago, other clubs like St Cadocs that seem to be big spenders still don't have a ground of their own yet.
Christ.

Formartine 3-2 Clydebank
We took the lead in the first minute, nicky low strike with a 30mph wind behind it befuddled the home keeper. We made silly mistakes especially second goal and the third was made by their striker who was a nuisance all game. Thought formartine looked sharp and maybe a touch fitter than us. Deflected strike got it back to 3-2 and save at the near post late on denied extra time which on the second half showing we wouldnt have deserved.
Good luck Formartine in next round.

We had ten men for most of the game, a poor call for me looked like johnstone got the ball but you cant really tackle anymore. You couldn't really say it changed the game as we passed up numerous chances, tc through on goal, graham header and darroch unmarked from a corner. Even the benburb first goal was through our mistake, dodgy ball back to keeper when it should have been on the motorway. There wont be many more hardworking teams in the league than Benburb.

More praise for beith keeper, not just his saves but quick thinking to release the winger for the winner, although poor from us, he should have been taken out and the attack stopped. Little through one on one should have made it 2 and might have been a different game, our keeper had a free header in injury time too. Dissapointing to be out a cup so early but was a tough draw.
Have to question why we have a bench made up of youth players while we have two out on loan, higgins should have been recalled as soon as mulcahy left imo.

Some strange results, do teams take this competition seriously i wonder.
Shocker for bo'ness and the lowland league. Playing Darvel in scottish cup next week will be interesting.

No,no, no.
Apparently the date of the scottish cup has changed and it has never been an issue before because they would always be given away fixtures when the race was on.

If you're thinking of Sutton United then the game was played at Sutton. Arsenal's last home match with a non-league club was in 1956.
Was that not when the keeper was caught munching a pie on the bench, after some bookie had offered odds on it and he got his knuckles wrapped afterwards. Bizzare.

Ties to be played no later than the weekend of 2nd so 26th could have been an option i suppose, but would leave cumnock without a fixture.

Sfa wouldnt sanction reversal of fixture, why did no team closer to fort William want to give them use of their ground? Were the highland league not glad to see the back of them.

Don't be silly man.
I heard the club have hired a PA to cater to his every need.
