Skyline Drifter Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 11 minutes ago, peternapper said: Was not right sure but a few seasons back we were due to play Annan in the league on the Saturday they either had a cup replay or tie that was played on the Saturday with our league game moved to a Tuesday night remember arguing at the time that surely a scheduled league game should have priority but was told this was not the case. First three rounds are allowed two attempts on a Saturday but doesnt apply at this stage onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, remember it divide opinion on here whether the league or cup match should take priority but the powers that be had cup matches first.

peternapper Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Quote Seems to be a decent thaw set in later yesterday & through until tomorrow night so hopefully will get this played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm told we only have 14 fit players. We could really do without this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I see from our official site that Rory McAllister has scored 27 goals in all competitions this season. Dumbarton FC have scored 26 in all competitions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I guess the good news for both teams is that with Morton the next fixture it could be a (slim?) chance for either to get a decent run in the cup. I can't seem to remember us ever having a decent SC run, always seems to be the other 2 we do well in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottylintonstowel Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 So tomorrow night the game will go on. Despite two professional teams meeting in a so called spectator sport there will be almost no Dumbarton supporters and a reduced amount of Peterhead supporters because the game is being played midweek in January.If there is a logic to this perhaps someone could explain it.

peternapper Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 What do you suggest as an alternative, in the next few weeks we will have away league games to play on Tuesday nights one at Berwick & another at Annan which is a result of us reaching this round of the cup.

The logic is that every weekend for the foreseeable future ourselves and Peterhead have games scehduled? Bear in mind this fixture has to be played in advance of the next round which is less than a month away.I'm not entirely sure what alternative there is tbh.

Jan Vojáček Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nothing but admiration for any central based Sons heading up to this tonight. I killed a few minutes on the way to work trying to work out how long it would take me, and I reckon I'd have to leave at 1500 and would get in about 0215. Having done a 0800 til 2200 for Inverness a month ago I'm seriously glad I wasn't born up north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Spoiler The biggest problem is getting through Aberdeen between 4 & 7pm apart from that there are now average speed cameras all the way from Stirling to Ellon, given enough time & a following wind its not too bad. Think both teams & supporters will be keen to get a result tonight as a replay would be a nightmare especially for us with a backlog of league games to play.
