English speakers in North America preserved gotten as the past participle of got... Scots speakers did as well so this all seems like a big fuss over not very much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has lexicology got to do with it? (Note, not 'gotten' to do with it.) Words change from their lexicological origins over time. In my Chambers dictionary the past tense of 'get' is rendered as 'got'. (Gotten is given as being archaic or USian.) Could of/would of are just solecisms due to 1) people not listening properly 2) not thinking/knowing about how verb tenses/moods work . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Can only imagine the meltdowns some people on here would have if they heard some of my relatives say things like hudden instead of held. Gotten is just the tip of the iceberg of what some geriatric Scots speakers can do with past participles and the eccentricities of American English are really quite tame in comparison. Moving things back towards the real subject matter though: If the SCC is getting 7 prime Saturday fixture dates during the league season like that, it's difficult to see how the junior cup fits in as a flagship tournament if there is also a WoS specific West of Scotland Cup to squeeze in as well. Think this post from parkcircus implies that they will probably use Scottish Cup dates initially and run it in parallel with the WoS equivalent of the Alex Jack and Alba Cups in the EoS and SoS and then I guess they would probably have to leave any remaining rounds for May and June after the league season has concluded: On 26/05/2021 at 23:08, parkcircus said: Probably start looking at it more seriously about March Need to find some partnerships for the West of Scotland Cup and the Non Licensed/Non Junior Cup (I’m sure it’ll get a better name) Edited June 1, 2021 by LongTimeLurker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The final on TV (in English) would be good, might be prestigious to play at Hampden but not great unless there's a crowd, and the name is fine as it is unless it's expanded... https://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/sport/football/kirkintilloch-rob-roy-boss-calls-for-south-challenge-cup-name-change-3255583 "This is the FA Non League Cup.

Andy groundhopper Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Could they follow the English and maybe call it the Scottish F.A Trophy or something. Really think it will eventually take off, could it be possible to tinker with any SFA payments , rather than the Scottish Cup money. Just redistribute monies per round etc, winners and losers get so much. Only an idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvel legend Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Add tayside and northern clubs and its non league Scottish cup , means another couple of rounds but so what , it then means it’s a prestigious competition and one which fans would love but no worth pleasing them And have the final at hampden , i will never forget darvel at hampden and that was over 40 years ago we have teams in this from the west and the east and it’s the south of Scotland cup just stupidity IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's SCC has 161 teams in it. If you were to take the Highland Pyramid at it's potential max right now you'd be adding 18 (HL), 12 (NCL), 33 (North Juniors), 18 (Midland). That's 242 teams. Round wise the competition is still in the 129-256 range. It would have to get to 257 teams before adding another round. Its the compact calendar for the Highland League, travel & costs that are the stumbling blocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If it meant getting the Highland clubs involved and making a proper “non-league” Scottish Cup, I actually wouldn’t mind them regionalising Round 1 and 2 long-term. They've already split the SCC into groups of 40ish this season, so with 81 teams north of the line it works out quite nicely tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the South Region Challenge Cup, involving all teams from tier 5 down in the South Region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
