Edinburgh City away would be better

EDINBURGH CITY

Who are they? Semi-professional Edinburgh-based club, founded in 1928. Joined the SFL in 1931, but went out of business in 1955. Were eventually re-formed from Postal United in 1986.

Where do they play? Currently in the East of Scotland Football League (finished fourth last season). Their home ground is Meadowbank Stadium, built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games and the former home of Meadowbank Thistle.

Home colours: White shirts, black shorts, white socks.

Claim to fame: Edinburgh City beat Hibernian 3-2 at Easter Road in the first round of the Scottish Cup on 22 January 1938.

[Danderhall Hibs]

The easiest team in the draw at home please. And the same all the way to the Final.

None of the Rangers/Celtc/Hearts at home nonsense for me.

I'd be happy to win this by playing
4th round: Edinburgh City,
5th round: Burntisland Shipyards,
QF: Livingston,
SF:Ayr,
F:Dundee

Monday 1430 Sky Sports News

[Dashing Bob S]

Rangers at Ibrox or Celtic at Parkhead with a ref that gives ever decision to the home side, please. Let's get out of this diddy cup as soon as possible and concentrate on the league.

[CalgaryHibs]

A non-leaguer at ER please, Edinburgh City if poss:wink:

O come on mate city!!!

We want to meet city in the final:wink:

[GC]

Irvine Meadow at Easter Road would be fine by me:greengrin

Hopefully we avoid any of the SPL sides and can try and get an easy a path through the opening rounds as possible.

Might be our year this year:thumbsup:

[Mikey]

Rangers or Celtic at ER please :cool2:

[GC]

Rangers or Celtic at ER please :cool2:

You are a braver man than me.

[heretoday]

Stirling Albion at home.

[zlatan]

2nd division or lower team at home please, then another in the round after that, and another in the quarter finals, and another in the semi before facing Edinburgh City in the final.

Then, just then, we may have a shot at winning.

[greenlex]

Anyone at ER please.

[KanyeWestLower]

Wick Accadamy away please! :thumbsup:

[Barney McGrew]

Would like - any lower league team at home

Will get - Dundee Utd or Aberdeen away

[GC]

Would like - any lower league team at home

Will get - Dundee Utd or Aberdeen away

See that's my fear, had this horrible feeling all weekend that it's likely to be us that gets the hardest tie of the round.

Rangers, Celtic or Hearts away will be our luck.

Please let it be for once that we can get some junior side or 3rd division team at ER.

See if we got Edinburgh City away, surely the game would be moved or would they play the game at Meadowbank?

[Westie1875]

Anyone got a list of who is in the draw?

[bigstu]

inverurie Locos away would be perfect!!

[Bayern Bru]

Albion Rovers at home.

[Bostonhibby]

St Johnstone away, I fear

[hfc rd]

Would not mind who we get drawn against (Would like it to be a home game), as long as we go through and end this embarrasment.

[James.]

Away to Irvine Meadow would be handy for me, it'd actually be a bit of a dream come true as well.

[Calvin]

inverurie Locos away would be perfect!!

:thumbsup:

Any low level team would be good though!

Ideal fixtures:

Rangers v Celtic
Hearts v Dundee United
Aberdeen v Motherwell
Hibs v Inverurie Locos
Irvine v Edinburgh (So we can play the winners in the next round)

I would settle for that :greengrin

[Hainan Hibs]

Got a bad feeling about the draw:boo hoo:Hopefully it's all just nerves.

I'll take Edinburgh City at home though.

[truehibernian]

Trust me edinburgh city away is a tough tough game:wink:

i assume that everybody who wants an away tie didnt buy the cup top up

Yes, plus why walk 20 minutes to the ground when you can get there in 5?

:greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

And that those that want Rangers/Celtic/Hearts aren't fussy about winning it.

You really should consult your doctor about that sort of thing.

[Isaac_Refvik]

Any way to get it on a pc to watch the draw?

[Craig_in_Prague]

I want whoever we drew in 1902.

Totally believe in good omens.

Scottish cup and Hibs :faf:

The players and management should give it their best shot, but I've already written off never seeing Hibs win it, and I turned 29 this year.

'mon the league, and europa league next year :thumbsup:

[Houchy]

An away draw at New Bayview would be perfect - not that I'm a selfish bar steward or anything. :wink:

I'd be happy with that, it would mean that my 2nd team have somehow had their result against Montrose at the weekend overturned:wink:.

Wick Accadamy away please! :thumbsup:



They've got to replay against brechin first

[Dashing Bob S]

I am pleased to say that I share your optimism about our chances this year Mr Martini. I have a feeling...

We've a far better chance of winning the league. It would be boring if we won the cup, we have a great jinx going, and it would make us a low rent Hearts/St Mirren/Killie buggins turn club.

[Westie1875]

Its about time we had some luck in this draw, been getting spl teams the past few years.

[Hiber-nation]

would love to see the game reach double figures

I'd take a 1-0 as long as we won the bloody thing

[Part/Time Supporter]

would love to see the game reach double figures

ffs

1-0 is as good as 20-0 in a cup tie

[LancashireHibby]

would love to see the game reach double figures

But if the players go in to the game with such an attitude then they will no doubt find things won't go their own way. I'm hoping we'll be comfortable winners by 4/5 goals, but Meadow deserve respect for getting so far in the competition.

[Part/Time Supporter]

Have the yams started whining about it being a fix yet? :greengrin

Obviously there's a conspiracy afoot to stop them winning the treble

:greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

Imagine the ridder if we got knocked out by them! :embarrass

Full team please, Yogi. Let the lads bag a few confidence boosting goals.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Irvine are hun loving bassas by the way and we better prepare ourselves for a kicking match, the yams??


:lolyam:

All round great draw. Few all SPL ties, hertz, rangers, celtic, motherwell away and a nice home draw for us too :thumbsup:

Yeah Mikey. Quotes - 'makes you sick' and 'they are obviously the favoured team this year'. More to come no doubt !!!

[Mikey]

Clearly Hibs are the favoured team this year

Nae luck ya yam :trumpet:

[Dashing Bob S]

Obviously there's a conspiracy afoot to stop them winning the treble

:greengrin

Yes.

A conspiracy of financial incompetence at boardroom level, lack of ability on the playing field, and deluded nonsense from the stands.

Keep it up, Johnny Yam!

[Allant1981]

Lets not get carried away and disrespecting any team Hibs play in the SC


Eh, they are a junior team, nothing was said about being disrespectful but a team like hibs should be looking to get double figures against these teams

[The_Todd]

What dates to be played?

Let's not make Irvine's big day out too enjoyable. Strong team, please (if not full strength - we'll still need to keep some in reserve for our fight to finish 3rd in the league after all).

[LancashireHibby]

Irvine are hun loving bassas by the way

Looking at their kit, you're not wrong there.

They're likely to be as good as any side from the 2nd/3rd Division. We've not taken double figures off any of them recently.

[MacBean]

Inverness CT vs Motherwell
Hamilton vs Rangers
Morton / Dumbarton vs Celtic
Hibernian vs Irvine Meadow
St Mirren vs Cowdenbeath/Alloa

Forfar vs St Johnstone

Albion Rovers v Stirling Albion
Aberdeen vs Hearts
Edinburgh City vs Montrose

Ross County vs Inverurie Locos
Ayr Utd vs Wick / Brechin
Kilmarnock vs Falkirk

[Allant1981]

I'm sorry but cant agree, if hibs get less than 7 or 8 then there is something wrong

[GlesgaeHibby]

When is the game due to be played?

It'll definitely be shown on TV, so I guess it'll be moved to suit the BBC.

Great draw for us, and for them financially.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I'm sorry but cant agree, if hibs get less than 7 or 8 then there is something wrong

Start your complaint thread now then!

[LancashireHibby]

I'm sorry but cant agree, if hibs get less than 7 or 8 then there is something wrong

Last time I checked, 7 or 8 weren't double figures :wink:

[The_Todd]

They're likely to be as good as any side from the 2nd/3rd Division. We've not taken double figures off any of them recently.

If they were even a senior side I'd say that... but they're junior. Show them respect by all means, but let's not pretend they're better than they are.

Hope they enjoy their trip to an SPL ground but barring a catastrophe it should be a fright-free game.

[Allant1981]

Start your complaint thread now then!


Im not going to complain, ive never once said i would, all i said was id love to see us get into double figures. Sorry if id love to see the other team getting a gubbing

[bringbackjoeT!!]

wont be on TV-

Hamilton vs Rangers
Aberdeen vs Hearts are the TV games

[Dunbar Hibee]

7th /8th January isn't it?

I just wonder if a certain Mr Bamba will be playin:greengrin

[Hamish]

Lets not get carried away and disrespecting any team Hibs play in the SC


Absolutely correct. With our record we are the last team that can do that.

All depends on the players attitude. Hope Yogi has them well warned.

[Mikey]

When is the game due to be played?

It'll definitely be shown on TV, so I guess it'll be moved to suit the BBC.

Great draw for us, and for them financially.

I'd expect Hamilton v Rangers and Aberdeen v Hearts to be on the telly.

[The_Todd]

I'm sorry but cant agree, if hibs get less than 7 or 8 then there is something wrong

If we play a full strength team and fire on all cylinders, then yes. Otherwise it'll be like the Brechin game in the CIS cup earlier in the season, do just about enough to cruise to victory and no more.

By this stage we should still be in the hunt for a Europa league spot so shouldn't jepordise that by going all out against a junior league team.

[Calvin]

7th /8th January isn't it?

I just wonder if a certain Mr Bamba will be playin:greengrin

9th/10th it is.

[Hamish]

They're likely to be as good as any side from the 2nd/3rd Division. We've not taken double figures off any of them recently.


:agree: as someone else has said 1-0 or 10-0 makes no difference in the Cup

[Dunbar Hibee]

9th/10th it is.

My mistake:greengrin

[Cod Boy]

hibs and aberdeen both get lucky drawing junior teams

[Allant1981]

:agree: as someone else has said 1-0 or 10-0 makes no difference in the Cup


Or they could go out and score a barell load and let others know that they are up for it this year and want to win it at all costs

[Ritchie]

hibs and aberdeen both get lucky drawing junior teams

:faf:

[Jack]

When is the game due to be played?

It'll definitely be shown on TV, so I guess it'll be moved to suit the BBC.

Great draw for us, and for them financially.

Having been involved with a 'wee totty team' when I was younger I know something like this could help Irvine Meadow be financially secure for a good few years.

I hope we get a good crowd.

[Billy Whizz]

West Premer Super League Champions last Season but not doing too well this year!

http://www.medda.co.uk/pmain.asp?s=7

I'm sure they will bring a big support!

[Hibby Bairn]

I'd expect Hamilton v Rangers and Aberdeen v Hearts to be on the telly.

TV just doesn't get it do they. Nobody wants to see all SPL games on the TV. What they want to see is a lower league side trying to knock out an SPL side.

So the games should be:-

Partick v D Utd
Morton/Dumbarton v Celtic

I remember a couple of years ago Spartans were playing St Mirren or Livi at home in the QF and they showed Killie v Rangers! :rolleyes:

[Ell_Chrisso]

Anyone hoping we don't get complacent?

Can see already too many thinking this team will let us score 10+

[Calvin]

West Premer Sper League Champions last Season but not doing too well this year!

http://www.medda.co.uk/pmain.asp?s=7

I'm sure they will bring a big support!

They have a bigger record attendance than us!

[Danderhall Hibs]

If they were even a senior side I'd say that... but they're junior. Show them respect by all means, but let's not pretend they're better than they are.

Hope they enjoy their trip to an SPL ground but barring a catastrophe it should be a fright-free game.

Junior sides are usually better than their equivalent senior side. I don’t know much about them like.

Still think they’ll be decent but we should win comfortably but to expect double figures is a nonsense.

[Allant1981]

why is it nonsense?

[Ell_Chrisso]

They boys knocked out Arbroath in the last round.
They are also probably on the same, if not more money than the Arbroath players.
Junior clubs are getting alot of good funders these days. Its no suprise really that a few of them have crept through to this round.

[Danderhall Hibs]

why is it nonsense?

When did we last beat anyone by double figures?

I played Junior up until the end of last season and if hibs dont score a whack against them then they have issues. Irvine are not that good this year and should hopefully not pose any problems with a team joint 2nd in the top league in the country

[LancashireHibby]

But there's a bit of difference between scoring double figures and "posing problems", don't you think?

[Hibbyradge]

Still think they’ll be decent but we should win comfortably but to expect double figures is a nonsense.

I'm not sure about that.

Irvine Meadow are the first Junior side to beat a league team in the Scottish Cup, ever.

[Rory89]

I'm always slagging off my Celtic supporting mate for being a gloryhunter, well I was born and raised (for a few years anyway) in Irvine so I think it's only right that I support them against us. Naaaaat. :wink:

I know one of Edinburgh City's players and my brother and good friend support Raith so either of them in the last 16 then whichever side of the old firm hasn't knocked themself out by then in the quarter final at home please. This is our year.

Again, naaaaat.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I'm not sure about that.

Irvine Meadow are the first Junior side to beat a league team in the Scottish Cup, ever.

When I said Senior v Junior, I meant Spartans v Linlithgow Rose, or Whitehill Welfare v Bonnyrigg Rose

[Allant1981]

When did we last beat anyone by double figures?


So because of that then hibs shouldnt be able to go out and beat a junior team( and not one of the top junior teams) by at least 10 goals. Sorry but i just expect more than a run of the mill win. Hoping that we do get the win mind you

[Allant1981]

But there's a bit of difference between scoring double figures and "posing problems", don't you think?


I really dont understand the negativity because i said i expect a big win. The difference in class between hibs and irvine is massive and the scoreline should reflect this

[Hibbyradge]

When I said Senior v Junior, I meant Spartans v Linlithgow Rose, or Whitehill Welfare v Bonnyrigg Rose

Gotcha.

[Danderhall Hibs]

So because of that then hibs shouldnt be able to go out and beat a junior team( and not one of the top junior teams) by at least 10 goals. Sorry but i just expect more than a run of the mill win. Hoping that we do get the win mind you

Of course not but history shows that it doesn't happen. We've had a few 5s and 6s and even a 9 in the last few seasons against teams lower in the league but when you get a few ahead you tend to switch off.

I think to expect double figures is setting your expectations too high.

[Ell_Chrisso]

I played Junior up until the end of last season and if hibs dont score a whack against them then they have issues. Irvine are not that good this year and should hopefully not pose any problems with a team joint 2nd in the top league in the country

Iv also played juniors, and im not dis-agreeing with the fact that Hibs should prevail easy winners..
But you forget, We have alot of young lads in our team.. and also a few people, the likes of Riordan, Zemmama etc, who don't like tackles, and hussle.
These guys will give it there Heart and sole on the day, and unless Hibs are 100% up for it, they may just cause em a few problems.

if you say 2-0 Hibs now, id take it, and look forward to the next draw...

[Allant1981]

Of course not but history shows that it doesn't happen. We've had a few 5s and 6s and even a 9 in the last few seasons against teams lower in the league but when you get a few ahead you tend to switch off.

So because of that then hibs shouldnt be able to go out and beat a junior team( and not one of the top junior teams) by at least 10 goals. Sorry but i just expect more than a run of the mill win. Hoping that we do get the win mind you

Well Celtic didn't manage it when they played Whitehill in 1996 at Easter Road. Both John Collins and Yogi played for Celtic that day in a 3-0 win.You are being a bit disrespecful to Meadow who pay decent wages and have many ex seniors in their team. This will be their big day and you can expect them to put in a good performance on this one off occasion.Hibs should win of course you must be forgetting some disastrous Scottish Cup performances from us in the past.

[Andy74]

Iv also played juniors, and im not dis-agreeing with the fact that Hibs should prevail easy winners..
But you forget, We have alot of young lads in our team.. and also a few people, the likes of Riordan, Zemmama etc, who don't like tackles, and hussle.
These guys will give it there Heart and sole on the day, and unless Hibs are 100% up for it, they may just cause em a few problems.

if you say 2-0 Hibs now, id take it, and look forward to the next draw...

If you think Hibs players old, young or foreign have got where they are by not being able to handle a bit of a tackle or hussle from junior standard players then you are kidding yourself!

I wouldn't take 2-0 at all.

There's nothing disrespectful about looking for a few goals when you are talking about joint 2nd top of the SPL with several international players against a junior team.

[James.]

Hibs should comprehensivley beat Irvine Meadow but I'd be really suprised if we get into double figures. Irvine Meadow's budget for their playing squad is significantly better than most teams in the SFL second division - there are quite a few players such as Brian McGinty, Emilio Jaconelli and a certain Paul Hilland that have played for SPL sides not that long ago. I'm absolutely delighted with this draw, as Irvine Meadow are my second team; we've just lost our main financial backer and so the money from this tie will be a massive help over the next season or two. League form hasn't been great this year but we're begining to find form beating Petershill 4-1 away (who are no mugs) and of course the Arbroath win. Hope a lot of Hibees turn up for this game!

[Hainan Hibs]

With this being Hibs and the Scottish Cup, I'll take a 1-0 win with a 93rd minute deflected goal.

But possibly the best tie we have ever been given:greengrin

And Aberdeen vs Hearts, fantastic:thumbsup:

[Speedway]

Whilst this could be a nasty banana skin game for us I think it's fair to say that ultimately I think, that whoever wins the tie stands a great chance of booking their place in the next round.

For a start that was celtic, and they werent playing a junior side, plus i may be wrong but i dont think they have that many ex senior players in their side, and this hibs side have arguably the best attacking players in the country playing for them that should easily score goals against a junior side.

[Billy Whizz]

It's a great draw for us. Coming after a heavy Xmas period with 3 games on the road and home games with Rangers and Hearts. Will give Yogi the chance to rest a few for some big games in January:thumbsup:

When has Zemmama or Riordan ever went in for a 50-50? The two of them are Sh*tbags.

Im not kidding myself, i see it every week. If you actually read my post, i did say that i agree we SHOULD WIN very convincingly, and i hope we don't get complacent.

Just don't be suprised if a few of our players don't like the pressure, or graft from the Juniors. They will run there hearts out, and put in a good few meaty challenges.

[EskbankHibby]

Hopefully a comfortable win for us and should be a wee money spinner for them.

As a matter of interest how does the cup top-up affect the visitors take home money?

I always thought that gate receipts were split 50/50 for cup games but for those of us with cup top-ups (including me :thumbsup:) this will be our 3rd game.

Does that mean that Hibs gambled that we wouldn't have as many home games and might have to take a wee financial hit?

I may of course be missing something obvious.

I'd imagine its money taken at the gate and not how many are in the crowd, might be wrong though

Aye, they'll never have come up against that before.

They play every week against players that run their hearts out, put in meaty challenges, pressure and graft, but that also have a far higher level of ability, fitness and game awareness.

You might think they are sh***bags but I'm pretty sure they would make you look a right idiot if you ever tried to act the hard man if playing them.

If you got within ten yards of them of course.

[James.]

Irvine are hun loving bassas by the way

Actually have a decent support, not too bad when compared to local rivals Kilwinning Rangers - hunnish team in the most hunnish town there is.

[Wilson]

We should rest some of our key players for this game. I'd still be looking for our 'second string' to win by four or five goals to nil.

[Hamish]

If there was a replay where would they play it. Somerset Park? Or would the police let them play at home?

[James.]

I'd take a guess a replay would be played at Rugby Park if it came to that.

[Killiehibbie]

If there was a replay where would they play it. Somerset Park? Or would the police let them play at home?

Their ground is almost on a par with Somerset. If they managed a draw I would imagine Rugby Park would be the venue, can't see it being needed though.

[Hamish]

Ok ta to both.

Would certainly hope not, but it is Hibs and the SC and they go together like
chalk and cheese.

[mim]

Listen, if we want to win the Cup, we've got to beat the Irvine Meadows of the world some time. We're as well getting them now at ER, rather than having to play them through in the West in the final. :rolleyes:

:duck: :greengrin

The boy has class, but ZERO pace.

Il look to you the next time we need an experts opinion! :yawn:

[libernian]

yeah would have thought they'd bring a decent support. better than a lot of sfl teams would anyway.

i think its great that juniors are allowed in the big cup. brings real romance to the cup i feel, pity there arent more allowed because it makes non league in scotland look crap when its only east of scotland / highland league teams in it considering all the weegie/fife and others are junior.

remember juniors have only been allowed to play in the big scottish cup for a few years now. and its only like four of them (north, west, east and junior cup winners) so still a bit of an unknown entity although would expect hibs to win, but shouldnt be complacent.

as for the wage bill, i'd expect they have players on a £200 a week. not entirely sure but seen as they are a big west coast team then it will be around there maybe more.

good tie for both!

p.s. does their stadium have floodlights if theres a replay?

whitehill play east of scotland which is not nearly as strong a league as the west region junior super league where meadow play and you are wrong they do have a good number of ex seniors some of whom played at a high level.

If we were rank enough to lose to a team like Irvine Meadow at ER I think we should be eliminated from the SC for the next fifty years.

The juniors in that draw are Auchinleck, Irvine, Bonnyrigg, Girvan and Banks o'Dee. They've only been eligible in the last few (3?) seasons. The others are non-league senior clubs who've always played in the Scottish Cup.

[mim]

These Ayrshire junior clubs can take the whole town or village to the Junior Cup Final. Especially when it was at Hampden, it wasn't unusual to have 10,000 turning up for the game.

Now, I'm not suggesting that an early round of the Scottish Cup is the equivalent to the Junior Cup Final, but Irvine may take a really big crowd to this game, just because it's a piece of history.

[Jack]

There starting 11 on Saturday had an average age of almost 30.

Only two or three of them have played for a non-Ayrshire club.

Brian McGinty, the assist on Saturday, age 32, was on Rankers books and is a product of their [non-existent] youth system. Has also been with Hull, St Midden, Airdrie, Dundee, Scarborough and a few others.

[Dashing Bob S]

I only hope we show up in numbers for the tie, and in voice. It's a strange one for the town of Irvine, they might ignore it, but if, as has been said, they do see it as a historic days out, they could fill the south stand with a vociferous crowd an embarrass us greatly.

Let's get behind Hibs in the cup and enjoy a great day out. Fortunately, from the number of posts on this matter (most of them, it has to be said by obvious racists) the cup under Yogi and this particular tie already seems to have captured the imagination.

[dennykillie]

You should win this one easily, even though if you read the press reports the Medda played Arbroath off the park.

BUT, you are Hibs and this could be a unique way for you NOT to win the Cup since 1902.

All I can say is that, considering the way Killie are playing, I'm glad we didn't get them at Medda Park.

(I'm from Irvine and was raised within 100 yards of Medda Park and saw their last Junior Cup triumph of 1973.)

Huns game is the Sunday apparently, so it might well happen. Although I don't think Irvine will be quite up to the same standard, I remember Yeovil taking 3,000 to the Reebok the other year and scaring the crap out of everyone by going in front and only losing to an injury time Michael Ricketts (remember him, anyone?) goal when they were still in the Conference.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Anything can happen in a one off game. Obviously Hibs should be too strong for them, but with a big vocal support behind them (they could bring a bigger support outwith the OF and Yams) we still have to be careful not to be too complacent and play a strong team.

Remember this game?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4139315.stm,

I'm sure Liam Miller who played that day will remind his fellow Hibs players about it.

Quick Google search suggests that Irvine has a population of 22,000, so it certainly wouldn't unusual for even 5% of the town to travel and therefore a following of above 1,000.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

They got a crowd of 1150 for their home game against Arbroath on Saturday, that was more than 1st division Airdrie got at home to QoS who are top of Div 1.

It's quite conceivable they could bring a crowd in excess of 2,000 for this game.

[Barney McGrew]

Ayrshire Juniors quite often get good sized crowds, for some of the bigger derby games they run into several thousands, and as AFKA points out they are better attended than many senior games.

They'll bring at least 2000 IMO, and will probably bring the biggest away support we'll see at ER this season outside of the Yams and the OF.

Several is probably an exaggeration, in my book 'several' means 5,000 at the very least. I'd expect them to bring a minimum of 1-2K though, especially if Rangers game is on a different day. From what I'm told about Irvine Meadow we should expect to see a few Union Jacks in the away end that day.

yeah thats what i thougt! hope they do bring a good support, should be a great game. and fair play to them by the way for supporting their junior clubs in good numbers! (i realise a lot will be neatral / big team fans (huns/killie wotever) too but still).

20-0 was mentioned
we should score at least ten
We should settle for 6 or 7
4 or 5 is more realistic
2-0 will do
1-0 with a deflected goal in the 93rd minute is ok
Where will the replay be played?
If we lose to this lot i'm stayin in for a year
If we lose to this lot we should be eliminated from the SC for 50 years

English conference = Scottish first division. That's being slightly (but not unduly) harsh on SFL1.

Irvine Meadow play in the equivalent of a good county or regional league (say eighth or ninth tier in the English structure).

I'm pretty sure they will, given that it's being reported that the Huns are on a different day. Hearts won't take a big support to Aberdeen if their form doesn't improve significantly in the next month.

[number9dream]

My old mate Iain Fitzpatrick used to play up front for Irvine Meadow in the early 90s and he sent me a message saying: "The Medda are goany get you"... about 10 seconds after the draw was made.
They should bring around 1500 punters and they are aye fond of a strong tackle in yon Ayrshire leagues. It might be a day to rest some of our lightweights.

[Van Nasten 34]

Saw Irvine 'Medda' in the 1st Round when they played Brora Rangers and won 2-0 with goals just before and after half time.They seemed a decent outfit although Brora were nowhere near their best and Dave Ross (ex Caley) and Gary Farquhar (ex St.Johnstone) were making their 2nd debut for Brora that day and weren't match fit.That aside not a bad side and tried to play the ball and were'nt over physical.
Probably be the one and only day I'll see a Union Jack at a Highland League ground though!!!

Asides the 36-0 thrashing handed out to the soft drinks giants , i'm sure Stirling Albion dished out a 20 goal shooing to Selkirk in the mid 80's .

It would be rather amusing if Irvine Meadow brought a larger support than the Yams take to Aberdeen.


Irvine Meadow will almost certainly bring a larger support to Easter Road than WE will take to Aberdeen in a couple of weeks time...

Dundee Harp 35 Aberdeen Rovers 0

On the same day as the Arbroath v Bon Accord game :wink:

Bon Accord were a cricket club who happened to receive the invitation in error. WTF is Aberdeen Rovers' excuse.

Also what are the odds against you collecting your winnings if you predicted both those scores correctly?

Yes, they will make a lot of noise and make a day of it. Been here before and unless we score early, it could go pear shaped.

[vanNISHtelroy]

ayr utd v wick academy/brechin city
kilmarnock v falkirk

Came down to the last 4 in, chance of a derby :top marks, home or away to wick/brechin :wink: and we get Falkirk...the glamour :rolleyes:

honestly cant see it but you just never know. other than matches against 1st or 2nd division teams, where upsets can be quite normal. this game should not have an upset, and we should win comfortably.

[blackpoolhibs]

Overall, Arbroath 36 Bon Accord 0.

Do you have the goal scorers?:wink:

[number 27]

I reckon they will be approaching the same standard as Brechin and I would expect something quite similar to the league cup game.

They will bring a large support and will be really fired up so there will probably be the odd anxious moment before a reasonably comfortable win.

Nowhere near double figures though.

[HibeeMcGinn1]

13 goals were scored by John Petrie:thumbsup:

Somebody did actually predict the scores - they're still trying to sort it out..

Although the referee in the Harp-Aberdeen Rovers game had noted 37 goals, Harp's secretary suggested a miscount must have occurred as he had recorded ‘only’ 35. The match official, acknowledging that it was difficult for him to keep accurate details during such a deluge of goals, accepted the lower tally and wired the official score of 35-0 to SFA (http://www.hibs.net/en/SFA) headquarters.

"The record for highest victory in a senior football competition was set on October 31, 2002 when the Malagasy club AS Adema beat SOE Antananarivo 149-0 in the national championship. SOE scored own goals throughout the match as a protest to a referee decision in a prior match."

Probably be the one and only day I'll see a Union Jack at a Highland League ground though!!!

Looking at their kit, you're not wrong there.

Good old Colin.

Junior sides are usually better than their equivalent senior side. I don’t know much about them like.

Still think they’ll be decent but we should win comfortably but to expect double figures is a nonsense.

That does not make sense. How can they be better than a team they are equivalent to?

[IWasThere2016]

Makes sense in Dunderhall :wink: :greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

It does make sense. What I mean is the team top of the Junior league vs the team top of the Senior league, eg Spartans v Linlithgow Rose. They're equivalent in that they're the best teams in their respective leagues or the biggest club in each division.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Makes sense in Dunderhall :wink: :greengrin

Do you think Rangers and Celtic are equivalent?

[IWasThere2016]

Do you think Rangers and Celtic are equivalent?

In loathing stakes - aye :greengrin

[smack]

Do you think Rangers and Celtic are equivalent?
Yep. Both soap dodging weegie ****

[NOLA]

good draw for both clubs, 7-0 for me:thumbsup:

[zlatan]

Loving the pessimism popping up across this thread :hilarious

Reckon Hibs could have the shortest odds I'll ever see them have in my life for this one, 1/25?

[givescotlandfreedom]

Is anyone else sad like me and want us to obliterate them now I see they're Hun lovers?

[Hainan Hibs]

Is anyone else sad like me and want us to obliterate them now I see they're Hun lovers?

I'm guilty:agree:.

Before it was a feeling of "what a tie, romance of the cup, great for both teams".

Now it's a feeling of "I hope Yogi puts out a full team and we completely annihilates these Hun ********s"

Sad I know, but I can't help it :agree:

Dodgin again instead o workin McGinn, yer worse than yer old man.

You really should consult your doctor about that sort of thing.

:greengrin

Would you care to revisit your prognostication Monsieur Supporter? My 'feeling' is getting stronger now that we have seen the draw...

[James.]

Meadow are not a Hun loving team as you put it, there's never any sectarian singing or abuse at Meadow park. Don't let one union jack or the clubs colours fool you. It's a shame that a good junior club with a decent supporters are being branded as bigots when before today you probably knew nothing about them.
