East Fife v Forfar Athletic

Wasnt that a comedy sketch once ?.... East Fife 5, Forfar 4

[Caley Stan]

With us playing Hibs at home on the same day, could Dingwall's dwindling attendances drop below 4 figures?

The actual score that became a part of many a comedy sketch and caused the saturday night beeb results person a stutter was in Div 2 63/64 season where the score was Forfar 5 East Fife 4

That's a hell of a trek for Golspie if they get through.

[Yngwie]

Indeed, but Wick's trip to Kirkcudbright a couple of years ago surely can't be beaten as the longest journey in Scottish football.

That's a hell of a trek for Golspie if they get through.

They have to travel to Girvan for the reply first which is only about 25 minutes from Stranraer. Why do County get such dross in the early rounds of the cup? I suppose coming in at this round makes it more likely.
