welshbairn Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 17 minutes ago, Ginaro said: Pollok v Huntly was also going to be shown but the Queen died. 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 the a lot of the easier central belt picks have been exhausted in the coming years they'll eventually have to go north. Brora Rangers – Formartine United Elgin City – Clyde Forfar Athletic – Berwick Rangers Fraserburgh – Turriff United Inverurie Loco Works – Dundee North End Keith – Clydebank Peterhead – Lochee United Maybe a bit niche but Locos v North End would be an interesting indicator of how the top Midland sides might do in the Highland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tarmo Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) Inverurie vs North End would be an excellent game to have on. North End are Midlands champions, just won 25-0 and smoked Tranent in the last round. And Locos are doing well this season, despite their relatively poor Scottish Cup match. There’s a good story in that game. Edited October 1 by Sir Tarmo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I can't see Lochee doing much against Peterhead but there is a story there with Dougie Cameron the Lochee manager playing over 100 games for Peterhead. Bobby Linn might also ping one in from 40 yards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 What is the reason that the live games get moved to a Friday night rather than a change of kick off time on the Saturday or a move to the Sunday? I'm sure that plays a factor in a number of teams where it is a North v South encounter possibly declining - any journey over probably a max of 2 hours between sides must rule out the Friday night for any team at part-time level. Are BBC cameras/crew used elsewhere on the actual weekend days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Yeah Locos v North End is a clear stand out tie for anyone with football knowledge outwith the G postcode and is pick of the round for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night is when people expect to see live football on BBC Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend coverage would need a big channel and the powers that be aren't shifting football focus for Inverurie v North End 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally only watch live footy on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks ripe for an "upset" if it even would be one. I buy a ticket for Killie's tie against Copenhagen and this is the thanks I get! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
