Newton Stewart for the cup.

 

Think I'll just pick them and follow their ( or whoever beats them) through to the final.

 

Hopefully ending up with the Dons in the final of course.

Nah min, Wick Academy all the way?

Dundonald Bluebell for me. Strange that from the Fife juniors they've chosen to go senior having been totally horse-shit all through the 70s until very recently and ahead of perceived "bigger" junior clubs in Fife like Glenrothes Juniors, Kirkcaldy YM and Lochgelly Albert.

Glenrothes have now followed them into senior leagues this season. From what I was told last year Dundonald realised that to progress they had to turn senior. Kelty’s success the season before in gaining promotion to lowland league in one season helped along with HOB, St Andrews and Oakley all jumping last summer also helped them make the switch. They now have their entry level licence and entry into Scottish Cup.

I'm not saying that I know more about your movements than you do, but I don't think that's a true statement.

 

In fact, I think I was to look back to march 2018, I'd find evidence that you attended a quarter final at pittodrie featuring the dons and killie?

Blimey,well played,if a slightly odd thing to investigate.Canna mind a thing about the recent Cup visit,but can for a game 40 years ago . Call it middle age fuzz....was probably haein a nap last time

 

So apparently the cup hasn't been abandoned but has to be squeezed in among the new season fixtures presumably before Christmas or the league cup (if that isnt cancelled)

Iain Blair (who does SPFL fixtures) was on Radio yesterday saying 2019/20 cup was to be completed before November. League cup is being played and I was surprised to hear with the group stages being maintained. Thought they might have reverted back to knockout for next season to reduce pressure on fixtures.

Nothing surprising nor bizarre. The administrators are useless clowns.

According to Blair it was clubs who have indicated they wanted groups to stay.
