Clyde01 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Agree with you Bill. Clyde would be an interesting tie, wonder if they’ll sign Prince Andrew or Robin Thicke before it. Either would be an improvement to our current squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Accies are playing in the Challenge Cup v Killie the next day. So it would have to be Friday/Saturday for them. Also worth mentioning that QP would need thistle's permission for the game to be a Friday or Saturday as thistle have also been drawn at home and obviously have first dibs on the pitch. Just going by Jane Lewis reaction when going through the ties QP killie sounds like a shoe in for their first choice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was part of what must have been one of the eggiest half time segments ever seen. Craig Moore tried but Darren Jackson was a stammering wreck. A right cringefest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) BBC website listing the Brechin v Darvel game as being on the Monday night. Anyone know why? I haven’t seen a tv announcement.

patriot1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Of course I could have just looked up Brechin’s Twitter to find the answer Surprising choice but good on the Beeb for not going for the obvious selection. Be good if they had a Scottish Cup Sportscene that Saturday to show highlights of some cracking ties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Kilmarnock and Hamilton Accies having a Challenge Cup game on the 30th has been mentioned as a possible reason for opting for this tie. Darvel and Clydebank defeating League Two opposition gets described as being a shock but it's got more to do with the top WoS clubs not having had time to progress to their natural level yet and being in a misleading position in league status terms. With the Killie pieman on board that's probably League One for Darvel in a Kelty sort of way. Over time there's no obvious reason why Clydebank couldn't slowly get back to where they were under Jack Steedman.

LongTimeLurker Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 No issues with Sat - Tue if it isn't the TV game so maybe precedence wouldn't automatically apply in this particular scenario? Think it's just speculation on the Accies vs Killie game thing and there is no official source for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes precedence in the sense that Challenge Cup games would be postponed if a Scottish Cup game clashed with it on the same matchday. However, it's a different thing to expect an already scheduled Challenge Cup game to be moved at reasonably short notice to accommodate a Monday night game in the previous matchday. The SPFL and SFA work out match schedules to specifically avoid games having to be shifted around like this. If either us or Hamilton had been put on the Monday night (and I don't think our tie is very interesting or worthy of scheduling anyway) then that Challenge Cup game would normally have to be moved to a Thursday (and both clubs' league games moved to Sunday), but that wouldn't be possible because we are already on the BBC on the Friday night against Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Patrick Thistle v Dunfermline moved to Friday night because Partick want to play on their tattie field before Queen's Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
