21stcenturyboy Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Hi - anyone know what time the Scottish Cup draw is today? Thanks
Shanner Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 is this the round with hardly any ties and loads of teams getting byes or a proper 'all in' one?
Markka Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 is this the round with hardly any ties and loads of teams getting byes or a proper 'all in' one? Most teams get byes, including some who do so automatically due to their senior cup participation.
wingnut Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 There's always the chance it could throw up a couple of good ones.

This Is the round where once the ties have been drawn and everyone has went home, they realize they havent drawn enough teams and look right arses. But dont worry it's still a draw not being hosted by a club. it will be drawn somewhere so out of touch with junior football its frightening It is as far east as they dare go. Anyway! Good luck to everyone this year!

There are 168 Junior clubs this season (64 West, 60 East, 44 North). 128 clubs are needed for Round 2. So the Round 1 draw will (should!) be 80 clubs drawn out to play 40 matches, the remaining 88 clubs getting byes (with those on Senior Cup duty automatically being amongst those getting a bye).
drs Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Inverness City away please (or any of the Aberdeen city based teams, away)

The SJFA tweeted earlier this morning that 29 ties will be drawn.

Everyone wants a big away draw in the Scottish. I know it's just a one off but it seems weird.

North only has 34 teams (Superleague 14, First East 11, First West 9), Which means only 158 teams. Unless someone hasn't entered or dropped out then it is 30 team they need to lose not 29.
LeedsPhil Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Doh ! It would help if I could count - I had indeed noted 14 + 11 + 9 on my bit of paper, so I dunno how I made that a total of 44 !! I'm evidently so incompetent that I could get a job on the SJFA draw committee !! Sorry guys.
peasy23 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Islavale have already said they will not be taking part in the Junior Cup this season so that makes it 157 clubs and 29 ties would be correct.
Burnie_man Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Islavale have already said they will not be taking part in the Junior Cup this season so that makes it 157 clubs and 29 ties would be correct. Why on earth not?
