Ginaro Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 30 minutes ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Hill of Beath v Cowdenbeath would be fantastic. Wonder if the BBC would cover it - not sure if floodlights are bright enough? Their lights are 273 lux average according to PP - and the point of the minimum 200 licence requirement being brought in was so that all clubs could be on TV. Also the first highlights are coming in - including this heads gone from a Cupar player to get himself sent off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the BBC would cover it - not sure if floodlights are bright enough? Probably as good as the King's Park floodlights to be fair. I was trying to take some photos and had to put the camera onto the special setting for near darkness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Musselburgh v Caledonian Braves Sauchie v Buckie Fraserburgh v Turrif Spartans v Cowdenbeath Forfar Athletic v Berwick Keith v Clydebank Peterhead v Lochee United Elgin City v Clyde Irvine Meadow v Civil Service Inverurie v North End Hill of Beath v Bo'ness United Brechin v Huntly Jeanfield v Edinburgh Stirling Albion v Bo'ness Athletic Auchinleck v Broxburn Lithgae v Clachnacuddin East Fife v Banks o'Dee Threave Rovers v Stranraer East Kilbride v Bonnyrigg Rose Brora v Formartine United Threave v Stranraer stands out. EK v Bonnyrigg is probably the tele game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) Not the best draw unfortunately, lots of boring same-league ties. Only Forfar-Berwick, Threave-Stranraer, Inverurie-North End and Peterhead v Lochee really stood out. Hill O'Beath v Bo'ness United will also be tasty I think. Bonnyrigg get the opportunity to revive an old LL rivalry with Chicken Man's All Stars. That's about it. E2A: East Fife get the chance of revenge over Banks O'Dee having been humiliated there in the cup a few years back.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Threave v Stranraer. The Borders Derby. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I'm glad to have avoided Talbot, other 2nd Division rivals and, er, Bo'ness Athletic but I am not taking this one lightly as Jeanfield papped out another ECFC last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Threave's player-manager, the amusingly named Dunglinson, looks like the manager of a chain of tanning shops, crossed with a badly designed novelty candle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) Locos v North End would be my pick. Locos are going well in the Highland League this season, North End are Midlands League champions and scudded Tranent in the last round (though by 21 fewer goals than their win over Whitehills the week before). Threave Rovers v Stranraer has a certain "local" appeal but it's hardly a derby, Motherwell and Raith Rovers are closer together than these two, and it's surely going to be one-sided anyway. Stirling Albion must have too much for Bo'ness Athletic, but a shock isn't impossible here. And from a strictly footballing point of view, it's surely EK v Bonnyrigg.

Connor7 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 East Kilbride v Bonnyrigg, or Hill of Beath V Bo’ness would be my tv pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 If Edinburgh City had any fans then their game against Jeanfield would be a good pick. That looks ripe for an "upset" if it even would be one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Think I'll toddle along to see Jeanfield this time out. Very interesting tie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Not many obvious central belt games for them to show. I’d go with Inverurie vs North End but Jeanfield-Edinburgh would be good too. I suspect it’s probably EK-Bonnyrigg that’s making the TV and we’ll have a cringey documentary on Mick Kennedy and Si Ferry beforehand. As a The Caley fan, entering the next round, I’m hopeful for a ground I’ve not been to and it looks like there will be quite a few of those guaranteed in the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcastle broon Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Are Forfar and Castle Douglas too far away for tv coverage? If not it's bound to be an EK love in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Quote Since the BBC started showing a match from the early rounds, no team from the Highlands, Moray or Aberdeenshire has had a home tie selected for live broadcast. Including Friday’s clash between Dalkeith Thistle and Broxburn Athletic, the BBC have shown 15 ties from round one, two and three since 2019. The only time the broadcaster has ventured north of Perth was to cover Brechin City v Darvel in round three in November 2021. Even away from home, clubs from the north have featured just twice in early round ties that have been shown live – Bonnyrigg Rose v Buckie in October 2019 and Clydebank v Elgin City in October 2021. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/highland-league/6591761/broadcasters-have-missed-a-trick-in-ignoring-the-highland-league/#cxrecs_s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the problem is finding an interesting enough game north of the Tay that outweighs all of downsides. None of the ones below are hugely exciting? Maybe once a lot of the easier central belt picks have been exhausted in the coming years they'll eventually have to go north.

welshbairn Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I think there's a chance they might go for Linlithgow Rose v Clachnacuddin, from seeing the brief highlights of Rose v Lossie I don't think it'll be a whitewash, Clach are much improved and have a fair bit of history to discuss. I'll be there anyway so I'd prefer they don't pick it for Friday evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
