BowenBoys Posted October 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Round Two under way with a 1 - 0 win for Stenhousemuir. 10 players backed The Warriors. Crucially, nobody predicted Edinburgh City would progress so no damage done yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Round Three The Second Round completed without a single replay. Must be some sort of record. Certainly took me by surprise, wasn't expecting to do this tonight (after four hours of drinking to forget!). Peterhead scored 9 times today but the performance of the day plaudits go to Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale of the East of Scotland League. They beat Stirling Albion 5 - 3 away. That goes down as giant killing in my book. They'll be dancing in the streets (and exercise yards) of Saughton tonight! So, how did you fare? A mixed bag, I would say. thistle4celtic1 and jaggy still lead the way. Best performances were The Prince of Kadriorg and Wayfarer who each dropped just one selection. We lost one player, who failed to make an entry. Shame, he was last season's winner. For Round 3, the sixteen Round 2 winners are joined by all League One clubs and 6 Championship clubs. League One Airdrieonians Albion Rovers Alloa Athletic Arbroath Ayr United East Fife Forfar Athletic Queen's Park Raith Rovers Stranraer Championship Brechin City Dumbarton Dunfermline Athletic Livingston Queen of the South St Mirren The draw for Round Three was made this afternoon. As is now quite common with the fu<kwits at the SFA, the draw was made twice. The first attempt had to be abandoned (with 15 of the 16 ties already drawn) when Brora Rangers were drawn twice! How much more incompetence do we have to endure from these idiots?

eljaggo Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Well Partickthedog, I said you had peaked too early. Still, you have achieved here what you failed to do in your art class. Given that I managed to get 4 out of 6 right, (a marked improvement on my first round attempt) a bonus point would seem fair to me. Yes?

What happens in the Life Drawing class stays in the Life Drawing class! The important thing is to get through the next round and into Round 4. Pick the right teams there and you can still do well, even with few selections. Save the point scoring for then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more incompetence do we have to endure from these idiots? Perhaps Brora didn't fancy the 600 mile round trip to Stranraer and slipped the ball back into the draw? Seriously, how can you expect that lot to select a competent national manager when they can't handle a cup draw? 6 17 20 26 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to our rival clubs that shouldn't exclude too many of us) Very good l-i-b Dennis Hopper was in Easy Rider. There was a Jimi Hendrix Experience song on the Easy Rider Soundtrack called 'If 6 Was 9' At the aborted Third Round draw yesterday Brora Rangers were drawn twice. They were Ball no. 9. I'm guessing that the team missing from that draw were Banks O' Dee. They were Ball no. 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you should already be rewarded for running this comp please give yourself two pats on the back.

Maybe next time BowenBoys can spice things up a bit by giving odds for each tie, and calculating each punter's accumulator.
