Edinburgh City 1 Montrose 3 FT (MERGED)

[MacBean]

Is anyone else going?

My brother plays for the league leading Under 19's and will be hoping to get in the squad for a place on the bench tomorrow in his game tonight (playing Spartans).

If he doesnt get in he'll be helping out so ill be heading down for a watch to have a gander at our opposition in the next round.

Will also be able to see Andy McNeil feature for Montrose!
What a fall from grace he has had! CIS Cup winning medal, to 6 points and bottom of the scottish Football League!

[3pm]

You know how much it is mate?

[Mikey_1875]

£10 and £5 I think. Free child with an adult aswell.

[MacBean]

I THINK i heard my bro saying it was £7/8. I am picking him up later so i will ask him and let you all know!

[MacBean]

£10 and £5 I think. Free child with an adult aswell.

ah, obviously i heard wrong!

[Toaods]

Good Luck to Edin. City but at £10 entrance, I'll not be anywhere near the turnstiles. I hope Montrose get through, as we tend not to perform against non-league sides...:greengrin

remember Morton :wink:

certainly a lot of cash on offer for both sides. For selfish reasons im hoping City get through. Although i would hate if my bro came on and scored against us.

Either way we should be beating both these teams!

Now, if that happen's.. Il eat ma ....

[Mikey_1875]

I think there is a floor price for all the Scottish cup games. (Could be £7 but I'm not sure)

[McD]

How much where u expecting to pay?? These clubs have to make money aswell :agree:


If it had been circa £5 I wouldve went, but given the quality of the teams (bottom of Div 3, bottom quarter of EoS league), a tenner seems a touch steep, bearing in mind for only a fiver more one could have seen the 3rd highest team in Scotland in the same round of the cup.

I believe its the SFA that sets the prices/pricing guidlines tho.

[NOLA]

come on Edinburgh City! i want a real Derby at ER, Meadowbank to Easter Road is what 2 miles?

[MacBean]

In case anyone needs second backing it DEFINATELY is £5 concessions and £10 adult prices.

[MacBean]

Especially since he's a Yam :bitchy: :greengrin


I know hes the daft one in the family!

[Toaods]

How much where u expecting to pay?? These clubs have to make money aswell :agree:



true...but it'll not be at my expense.

I'll gladly pay if they win and take us to a replay......:greengrin


nb.

they are 2/1 at home to the worst team in Scotland's professional(?) leagues, so think my tenners safe.

Might take up some of that !! Where about ?

[Dashing Bob S]

This is one of these games that it always seems a good idea to go along to. It's a cup tie, in a different environment, a non-league local side, and you would be supporting the game at a grass roots level both in Edinburgh and nationally.

But the reality is that it'll probably be a cold and boring evening.

I might go however, as I always end up being convinced by the romance of it all, and it's inevitably a mistake.

[Jamesie]

Ladbrokes giving you 6/4

[MacBean]

13/8 willie hill

[Mikey_1875]

found it, 2/1 on the power :thumbsup:

Would be great for City to go through! One of my mates plays for them, would be hillarious to see him playing at Easter Road!

The same reason I'm going to go :greengrin


(plus my son's pal plays for EC so I'd like to see them win:agree:)

What's the hospitality like at Meadowbank?

The catering?

The toilets...

[Danderhall Hibs]

How much where u expecting to pay?? These clubs have to make money aswell :agree:

Wouldn't they make more money by getting more folk through the gate if they keep their prices static? £10 to watch a bunch of boys from AEGON, the Post Office and Standard Life play against some folk from Scottish Widows, the Royal Bank and Scottish Gas just doesn't seem a fair price.

No offence to any of the organisations mentioned - just trying to get a point across. :greengrin

[hfc rd]

Might go down. Would like to see what our opposition are like.

[Scooter]

I used to know a city player was at school with Stephen clee. Massive Jambo but he was an excellent footballer when he was younger

[HIBEES 4 LIFE]

I used to know a city player was at school with Stephen clee. Massive Jambo but he was an excellent footballer when he was younger

He's City's top scorer so if they are to progress then they'll need him to be decent!

I fancy City tonight but it'll be close. I know a lot of the players but won't make it down because of my own training......

And i think the prices are set as a minimum by the SFA. City would prefer to charge less i would have thought, especially on a monday night.

They are trying to get round this by doing the adult + child offer

[Diclonius]

'Mon City, get it right up the Montrose *******s.

(Arbroath player speaking)

Really? I know a few of the boardroom staff at Gayfield, including your vice-chairman (Mike Caird) so I go to the home games quite regularly.

Where do you play, and do you start often? :greengrin

[Prof. Shaggy]

Is it the same Stephen Nicholas who scored against us in the cup for Stirling Albion last....eh...century? I think they beat us in the replay.

thought the same thing when the half time report came through on Sportsound.

Remember him to be tall, leggy winger who scored a few rakers. I'm sure we were credited with an interest in him for a wee spell - di dhe not go to Motherwell??

Is that really almost seven years ago? How time flies - would love to turn the clock back til then!

[Mikey_1875]

Poor, ah well same as last time hibs please :thumbsup:

[Toaods]

well Montrose are 'pros' so we have not excuses for not ripping the throat out of them from the start.

I bet McNeil can't wait to face Deek and Stokes with the Montrose defence to guard him.:worried::offski::embarrass

[Jamesie]

Is McNeil still training daily with Raith? If so, Montrose must be paying him a fair whack, unless he's still full time with them and just training with Raith for ease of convenience? I wouldn't imagine he would have been on enough at Hibs to allow him to live off the proceeds of his time with us until he goes back full time?

[NOLA]

Montrose it is then:boo hoo: hope Andy McNeil gets a good reception, friend of the family so i hope he has a good game, not too good mind:wink:

I'm sure he will and after all why shouldn't he?

There are always a couple of clowns who will go OTT with some verbal, I'm sure it won't be anything worse than he's faced before.

I will be giving Andy a good reception when he comes up to the FF end :agree:

Cup winning keeper, and gave up his time to come down to a Leith Athletic end of season bash for my laddies age group. Good Lad.

:agree: No matter what anyone thinks about Mcneil,he is a cup winning player with Hibs and his reception should reflect that.He is also a Hibby!

[Speedy]

It's amazing he's went from CIS cup winning and Scotland U19-U21 keeper to Division 3 so fast.

Good luck to him though...but not too much luck against us obviously :greengrin

[Hainan Hibs]

Kept us in the Final with a cracking save from a Naismith shot. Game would've been a lot different had that went in and put Killie 1 nil up.

Hopefully McNeil gets a great reception, right before Stokes puts a few past him and sends us to the next round:greengrin

[Leithenhibby]

I know that we have had our problems with goalies over the years, but I for one will be giving Andy Mc a good welcome to ER. :cool2:


One more WINNERS medal than Gary Mckay...:faf: :notworthy:

[krobertson12]

i was at the game tonight, and i have to say edinburgh were the better of the two teams. Montrose couldnt pass the ball, and flung it forward as soon as they could. edinburgh looked to play the ball.

even though city missed out on the next round, i hope they take heart from a good performance and the 1000 crowd give the club a wee boost.

I'd agree with that. I mentioned while watching that City looked more dangerous when they were passing it rather than playing the long ball like Montrose were. City got in behind the defence with some quick passing moves, just too often lacked composure when the chances came.

Montrose played it long all the time, didn't seem to have much else to offer. Credit is due for the 3rd goal though, the boy (Nicol I think) took on the entire City team, went in between the two centre backs and scored.

[Danderhall Hibs]

It's amazing he's went from CIS cup winning and Scotland U19-U21 keeper to Division 3 so fast.


:agree: He made a few mistakes (4 or 5?) but he was only young and was unlucky to be following in the footsteps of Malkowski where every goal was fully analysed (by the fans and media) to see if the keeper could be blamed for it. He's unlucky to be playing at that level IMO.

Jamie McDonald is the same age as McNeil and is still at Hearts - purely down to him not being thrown in too early for them. they sent him on loan to QoS he made a couple of mistakes against us in the Cup and went back to Hearts and they've hidden him since.

McNeil would be a very good 1st Div keeper if he got the chance to play in that league.

How many more people are going to come up with this myth? My granny would have saved that, it was a routine save. FFS if he had let that in, he'd have been out the door a lot quicker than he was. Well done andy, he's a cup winning Hibby, but lets not make lies up about cup winning saves.

To be honest I thought it was a great save but we all have different opinions.

Yes, we do, but go and watch it again, its a routine save, i mean even Maka would have saved it.:wink:

Now considering wearing my Arbroath hat in the upcoming tie along with my Hibs scarf.

One problem - it's m****n.

Good/bad idea? :wink:
