Took in Tayport v Buckie and as expected Buckie barely had to break sweat

We were there as well. Really wasn't much of a contest

An away trip to St Andrews would be great.

Fully expect to get the winner of the Broomhill/Cumbernauld game.

Midland League teams have stunk the Scottish cup out with their performances this season. 

They lost to the EOS and WOS league leaders and 4th place in the Highland League, not sure what you were expecting?

I only saw the last twenty minutes of the Saints v Talbot game but Auchinleck hardly created a chance in their bid to rescue the tie.

Best crowd I have seen at our park.

Absolutely buzzing. Two years ago this club were struggling on and off the pitch. A new chairman, some hard work behind the scenes and things have turned around big time.

Roll on tomorrow.

Happy for you - I have had the honour of displaying my Cafu-like skills at RB on your pitch, many years ago, in a 9-1 victory.

Who was that for?

And are you available for our trip to Whitburn next Saturday?

Was a works league thing in about 2005.

If you need a 50 year old who is recovering from hernia surgery within the last month, I'm yer man!

Some game between Culter and Deveronvale.

Best game I’ve seen in ages, Cracking goal our equaliser and the winner was superb build up play.

Culter will feel hard done by. Tidy wee set up at Culter and a quality away support today.

Given some of our fans have posted about that it would be good to get yourselves in the next round, I'd also like to point out that the above is something quite a few Clyde fans would love to see right now - we've been struggling both on and off the pitch for quite some time and if we were to replicate what appears to be happening at your club, it would be a real fillip for us.

Also, to add, would also be great to see us play you at your ground, as having been there before it was a really nice venue and would be good compared to the normal draws that we get.

Never give up hope Willie. Every team goes through tough periods in their history but that’s what makes the good times all the more enjoyable. 
 

It’s great to see so many posters on here looking for a trip to St Andrews. I’d be delighted with another home draw and we’ll provide a warm welcome to whoever comes to our ground.

Interesting to note that it’s payment based on when you exit, I’m sure in the past it used to be a fee for every round,  so you’d earn more from saying winning a preliminary and going out round one than getting a bye to round one then going out.

We have already earned more from this competition than we did for winning our league.

That’s exactly why they changed it.

It was changed in the last couple of years. I think 2020-21 was either the first season of the new method or the last of the old one. Certainly not the first season of this being the case.

Popped along to the Camelon game yesterday, as I occasionally do, and have to say they were so unlucky against CSS.

3 penalties in the game and the Ref had a howler in each of them. First was outside the box, and a soft push, the second was denying a clear Goalscoring opportunity, yet no card and even into the next day, I have no idea what the 3rd was for.

Camelon huffed and puffed and looked like the Lowland League team for long spells. They can be proud of their efforts and quite rightly gutted not to be going into the next round.

I was comparing the prize money with the FA Cup .  In England the winners get £2m plus TV money.  You would think the SFA could at least try and sell the Scottish cup for around half of that .
