Milners Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 They are trying to find a sponsor before the draw will be made. If they got someone it would have been done by now. Link to comment

Cheers. Looking forward to seeing some of the Highland teams down this way after the beggars in charge get this sorted. Link to comment

mizer Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Glasgow University v Buckie Thistle Mmmm more tempting rather than gretna at home Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hopefully a revenge match for Keith in the next round. How good are the Scottish University teams? Do they play with loads of ringers in their teams or something? My amateur team played against Nottingham University last night and we spanked them 7-0..... yours truely even managed to nod one in from a corner! We're one of the top amateur teams in the East Midlands and they were probably missing a few players as we're still in the University holiday period, but they were still very poor. I'd expect a Highland league team to absolutely destroy them! Link to comment
E-P-K Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 . I'd expect a Highland league team to absolutely destroy them! Got a text from my mate who plays for Buckie after the draw was made, His thoughts exactly. Link to comment
Madbad Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Fort William v Spartans Could this be Fort's year? I might go see that one Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Great draw for Culter. Playing team that finished bottom of Division 1 (the bottom of the 2 divisions) in the East of Scotland League by a distance with GD of -51 Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Great draw for Culter. Playing team that finished bottom of Division 1 (the bottom of the 2 divisions) in the East of Scotland League by a distance with GD of -51 I didn't know that K-9, gives them a great chance of getting through the 1st round. Think I'll head out to Crombie for that one. Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I didn't know that K-9, gives them a great chance of getting through the 1st round. Think I'll head out to Crombie for that one.Lol - was sitting with one of the Culter players trying to find out who the hell they were!! Link to comment
glasgow sheep Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 crazy that some of these sides like Hawick and Glasgow Uni get in just because they have SFA membership no matter how sh*te they actually are while dozens of better junior sides are still on the side lines Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's so bloody annoying how folk on Reporting Scotland and just now on Radio Scotland can't pronounce Culter properly. Thought they would of done their research before going on air and sounding like idiots! Link to comment
Sneckie Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Got a text from my mate who plays for Buckie after the draw was made, His thoughts exactly. GU played...someone...a couple of seasons ago and didn't do too badly against them. I'm sure it was someone like Brechin although I could be totally wrong. I'm sure they are ace though.
