Waterford Away, see how much Zak has progressed since leaving us.

At home to Alloa.

Alloa 12/13th October at home

Alloa 19th October at home

Maybe a good omen we beat  Morton twice in a row.   Feeling good about this tournament we must have a chance to get to a final again Always enjoy a day out with a few beers good craic. It may not be The Scottish cup but someone has to win it why not us. 

Arbroath v Clyde
Airdrieonians v Elgin City
Raith Rovers v Glenavon
Partick Thistle v Connah's Quay Nomads
Wrexham v St Mirren Colts
Stenhousemuir v Waterford
Solihull Moors v Ballymena United or Rangers Colts
Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Alloa Athletic

Ties ties are scheduled for the weekend of October 12/13, subject to TV selections.

Dire draw, SPFL didn't even stream it...

No fun for the away support but I'm sure Robbo will be delighted to have another chance to put out a second string side in a competitive game on our own pitch. 

Horlicks

Spfl were a joke with their live streaming of the draw. 

 

I can understand there are reasons why the club may not be too interested in staying in this competition, I mean, how much money would we lose if we had an away tie at Waterford?  But there would be money to be made from a final, and with so many of the more fancied Scottish teams having bitten the dust already, we might well be favourites for this now.  It is maybe not the greatest of competitions but it would be rather good to win a trophy in our anniversary year.  Saturday demonstrated we have good depth in the squad so there is no reason we can't go all the way in this competition whilst also giving some valuable game time to some of the squad.

I am sure I read somewhere that even if we got to the final the club will not make much money after the SPFL deduct all the expenses of running the final but I would love to get to any cup final so bring it on.

Thanks IBM. 

And it's valuable  experience for the younger and/or newbies on our teams.

Deffo not to be sneezed at....especially if we can win aplenty!!

Just remembered that they came through a fairly decent Pars side, where as we came through a Morton side that we wiped the floor with the previous week. I revoke my prior statement of it being an easy draw, and bump it up to a "not too easy, not too hard" draw. Really depends on the outcome of the week before and not letting the players get ahead of themselves.

We shouldn't be taking them lightly...as we all know, shocks happen *cough* Elgin *cough cough* Arbroath...

I seem to recall we couldn't finish off Alloa in a cup final many years ago...

Just takes the biscuit, doesn't it...

Confirmed as 1500 on the Saturday. 

Welcome Clyde ?

I know that it will get me into trouble with the Seer Society but the final is going to be ICT v Wrexham or Solihull at Dingwall.

Clyde at home.  No bad eh.  

Complete farce. Sure, (somewhat) easy passage to the Semis, but just seems...odd...That all we've had are home draws against wee teams, but at least there's still a possibility of a National League away day in the Semis...

Wouldn't mind a trip to Wrexham for the semi-final tbh.  But, of course, first we must beat Clyde.  Should be winnable as long as we don't underestimate them.

Clyde did beat Arbroath away so will be quite confident.  Managed by Danny Lennon, they do of course have a former £2m Scottish International leading their attack and now their captain.  However, we have so far not underestimated the opposition in this competition and should therefore just start as favourites to progress.
