HibeeJibee Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Albion Rovers 1-0 Brora Rangers Elgin City 1-2 Clydebank Lothian Thistle HV 2-1 Dunbar United Rothes 0-1 Dalbeattie Star Clydebank deliver another non-league shock at SPFL2 opposition while Dalbeattie also impress. This season has been the stuff of nightmares for the Highland League: newly-relegated Brechin are their only representative to reach R3 in contrast to 5 from Lowland, 3 from East of Scotland, 3 from West and 1 from North Juniors. Chastening experience for the venerable northerners... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a nightmare for the HFL but I see it as a positive sign that Scottish football is sorting itself out and in 10 years time we should have a genuine meritocracy in the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win for us and an away draw to one of the arsecheeks would sort us financially for years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) On 19/10/2021 at 21:42, HibeeJibee said: Never has a club from tier 7 made it past the Second Round: indeed Haddington and Preston last season were the first to make it that far. (It was also called the 'First Round' in 2020-21 if we're being pedantic). They're all underdogs but tantalising to see if Dunipace, Haddington or Preston could make history this time around. None of them did. On 19/10/2021 at 21:42, HibeeJibee said: EDIT: There have also been relatively few instances of a club from tier 6 making it past the Second Round. By my reckoning only LTHV in 2015-16 (when they went onto reach R4) and again in 2017-18; Penicuik, Linlithgow and Broxburn (who also made R4) in 2019-20; Linlithgow again and Tranent last season. Never outwith of EOS yet. LTHV, Sauchie, Tranent, Auchinleck, Clydebank, Darvel and Banks o'Dee all did. On 20/10/2021 at 14:57, Ginaro said: If any of those three got to the next round and were drawn against a Championship or top L1 team they would also make history with the largest gap between two sides since the pyramid was introduced (currently 54: St Mirren v Broxburn). This remains intact - biggest gap seems low 40s, from Auchinleck and Sauchie to Hamilton and Dumbarton.

Would basically need a top half Premiership team to draw a tier 6 side in the next round to beat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cowden are desperate to hang on to that bottom spot but if Elgin stick in they might be able to grab it off them . A long way to go mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Gold Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Likes a penalty too. Gave Clydebank three against us a couple of seasons ago, and then gave us one to win the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
