Markka Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 We'll be playing Edusport in the next round after they beat Rothes 3-1 in the cup replay.Does anyone have any background on them? I literally have never heard of them. South of Scotland league winners last season, now in the Lowland League. The academy website details their ethos - to the best of my knowledge the squad is almost entirely French outwith a couple of player/coaches.Should bring a travelling support of approximately nil.

Cheers. I'm sure they'll be delighted in paying all that money to be rewarded with a trip to Elgin. The last I heard, Colin Cameron was coaching with them. Just what level of diddies are we dealing with here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to an Annan fan today who was at their game with Rothes last week he said Edusport have a few decent players. Mostly French guys but they have a few boys on loan from Premiership sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Edusport's core remains the Frenchmen, but it's a more varied squad now... they have some Scots; some other non-Frenchmen; at least 4 players on U20 Development Loan from Premiership clubs (2 Kilmarnock & 1 Rangers - or possibly it was the other way round - and another I can't remember, maybe Partick); and make use of their coaches, like Bryn Halliwell and Ryan McCann. Great result for them yesterday given Rothes are a side transformed. Stirling Uni beating Wick didn't surprise. They've consistently been top-end LL performers.

Common sense anyway on this occasion, with Spartans' visitors being the further traveled of the two. It would be interesting to see who would get priority if Spartans got a home tie vs a 'local' opponent whilst City were the ones with long-distance visitors. No word yet whether it's the Friday or the Sunday for Ed.City-Stenhousemuir. It won't be down to distance, or who came out the hat first, there'll have to be a protocol in place. City v Stenny confirmed for Friday night, so Spartans must have priority when 2 SC ties clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Still plenty decent awaydays to be had here. Last years draws were awful so hopefully get a decent one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafcburty Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 A very interesting game this weekend for Peterhead as they face Colville Park in the Scottish Cup. I spoke to Jim McInally about this match last week and he said it was a no win situation for his side and he hopes Colville Park take all the plaudits.

HibeeJibee Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Glasgow Uni and Burntisland (pre-EOSL) have done it several times just since the current format came in for 2007-08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
