thornwoodjag Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would really like to see thistle winning a cup,even if it is the ramsdens cup I would enjoy it.if the next round is an open round,I feel if we avoid Raith and Falkirk/Sevco we have a good chance. Home to East Stirling please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 If we are using a policy of using back up players in this comp, after tonight, I wouldn't think any team would be a "gimme", I don't really care about this competition but it's a bonus if you can get a few wins with your back up players. Â Was surprised not to see the young midfielder Halsman in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_miss_jag Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) We can get: Â Stenhousemuir Arbroath Queen of the south Cowdenbeath Raith East Stirling The Rangers/Falkirk I would take The Rangers, Stenhousemuir, Arbroath, Queen of the south and East Stirling away. Falkirk Raith or Cowdenbeath at home. Â It is on a Sunday in September so a wee away day would be good!!

Falkirk Raith or Cowdenbeath at home. Â It is on a Sunday in September so a wee away day would be good!! Going by recent results, it's improbable that Sevco 5088 would beat Falkirk FC.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Never really care for this daft cup. It's normally very unlikely you can progress in it without playing against teams you'll play four times a season as it is. However as long as sevco are still in it there's a chance of a decent pay day. Failing drawing with the Southside Johnnies I'd like to see us get a tie with a Div 2 outfit. I know a home tie isn't usually preferred, as we make less dosh and are lucky to break even, but travelling to the likes of Dumfries or Arbroath on a Sunday might be problematic and I've seen enough of plastic pitches already to not favour a trip to Ochilview.

P-R Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Anyone apart from "The Rangers". I'd rather we never have to meet them again. Â Oops still have to get past Falkirk first of course... Edited August 15, 2012 by P-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I will repeat what I have been saying for many years. I think it would be TREMENDOUS for us to win the challenge cup. We have more of a "dormant" support than most teams and I really believe we would take a crowd of 4,000 at least to a final. Â Would be a massive boost for everyone at the club I reckon.

Â Absolutely, spot on ian_mac - bring it on. You can't knock a bit of silverware to improve moral, just look at the positive start we've had since the mini tournie and the team being told that they are Winners. They might actually start believing it and that would be fantastic to see on the pitch. Â you need a winners attitude before you can be a winner.

Â 100% bang on. Â To be involved in a final, even if it was the Challenge Cup, would be a brilliant occasion for all the fans and the club as a whole. Â The only clubs I'd say we'd be potentially up against it against would be Rangers or Falkirk and one of them won't be an issue as of next week.

uberteeb Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'd love to beat Sevco in a final at Hampden. Â Next round I reckon the best draw would be Stenny or East Stirling away (they still play at Ochilview don't they?). Easy to get to even on a Sunday, won't cost the club money, terracing, not in our own division and of course a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That would be an amazing Diddy Cup final, us vs sevco at Hampden. It would make people notice the tournament more. Pity they're going to get thumped by Falkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jif Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 When is the draw for the next round?, As i will be in Glasgow on the 8th and might have to get the later flight home on the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Earl of Hathaway Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So, how do want to work this - finish up with Sevco at Hampden, or do them at Ibrox in the semis or quarters before getting a big team in the Final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryHell Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think getting Sevco in any round prior to a potential final, would be a bit pish for us. Sure it will be a decent pay day, but as it is scheduled to take place on an international weekend, is it not likely that they will ask to get their game moved to a midweek?

There's talk of a sizable sevco boycott of Hampden so maybe an away draw at Ibrox would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
