The sending off happened during the four minutes

So it did.

I stand corrected.

What an excellent game of football. 

A massive well done to Threave who really had a go at it, played well and scared the hell out of Stranraer.

Extra fitness and experience did the job in the end for Stranraer. There was virtually no quality difference between the sides and a few sides higher up the pyramid might be looking a bit more at some of these Threave players.

Really good game.

Your man sounds like he’s from Orkney.

Is that the Stranraer accent? 

[Oceanlineayr]

That was a great watch. Gutting for Threave, thought they were the better team for large parts of that game. Stranraer seemed to show much more urgency last 20 minutes.

My colleague is from Stranraer and it’s exactly like that

Really enjoyed that match. Credit to Threave for that performance. I thought they were home and hosed when they went 2-0. Shame it didn’t turn out the way but Stranraer did very well to battle back to avoid a big upset.

[Tattie36]

Great entertainment. Gutted for Threave but they should be proud of that performance. 

Bloody missed the winning goal as I went to the kitchen to grab a beer for ET. Was really looking forward to another 30 minutes too.

Enjoyable game and a great effort from Threave - probably deserved extra time at least.

Galloway Irish accent.

A bit of Sunshine Underground ending the broadcast. Some quality indie landfill.

Really good game. Threave were impressive and probably just needed to keep it at 2-0 a wee bit longer. Fair play to Stranraer, had players on the bench who could change the game, unlike Threave. A few of those young Threave players caught the eye though, I suspect clubs higher up will be keeping an eye on some of them. Irving, Downie and Officer in particular. 

Real shame for young Watson at the end. Spoke very well and he shouldn't allow losing his head there to overshadow the way he seems to be handling a terrible situation. 

Great to have these games on tele. For a long time the English were miles ahead of us in the way they covered the FA Cup and championed the lower levels. We're doing better in recent times.

We are all Charlie Watson tonight

Way to go though, live on the telly.

Stick the napper on a Stranraer centre-half.

Straight red.

Harsh ending, did the ref want to get up the road quickly and avoid extra time?

Hope the young lad who got sent off is ok, he shouldn’t have motioned with his head even though he didn’t make contact, sending off seemed a bit over the top.

Lolwut?

Motioning your head like that is violent conduct.

Yeah, I suppose it was. Should have made sure he got his money’s worth then.

The boy getting f**ked over the barrier is why we love lower league football!

I didn't know you could start The Terrace before the scheduled time. I must have watched around 3 complete arcs of Still Game over the last few years

I made a great choice going to that tonight. A classic example of the whole town coming out for their team in a big cup tie, and the team couldn't have given them any more. They were so confident on the ball and trusted their skills, they didn't let the opposition or the occasion get to them, and that's so hard to do. It'll hurt tonight but surely in time they'll be proud that they gave us a match we'll never forget.

Typical quality sports journalism, 'not missed training at Threave in over a year', strange considering young Charlie was at Star last season.

Broxburn fans will remember him as the scorer of that wonder goal just before half-time at the Islecroft in the playoff match.

An accomplished young footballer with an excellent onfield attitude.

On loan from Queen of the South......

Ten of Threave's starting eleven are ex-QoS youths (& 4 of the subs I think). Only Ross Irving ever played for our first team (& Sam Henderson sat unused on the bench) but they absolutely did themselves proud. They were worth their 2-0 lead and I think if they's held it for 10 minutes longer then they might have broken Stranraer. Their legs went after about 70 mins though. I actually fear they might have lost really heavily if it had gone to extra time with 10 men but they should be really proud of their first hour. Hopefully they can go on and win their league now.
