I remember the junior cup finals used to be at hampden, great for the players to play at the national stadium, now it seems to get chucked into any old ground.

It was played at Ibrox as well back in the 80s. Mind seeing Bo’ness winning it in early 80s - the Lexie Shields final. I found the highlights on YouTube the other day! And if you like fitbaw books, the Thistle and the Grail by Robin Jenkins is all set about the chase for the Junior Cup in the 1930s by a fictional team. A really good book

[JimBHibees]

My wife’s brother in law played for Linlithgow Rose when they beat Baillieston in the 1965 final at Hampden in front of a 25000 crowd. Colin Grant who later signed for Hibs also played in that game.

Was at the Penicuik junior Cup finals in 1970 30000 plus at the first game about 15000 at the replay. Two of the Penicuik side had played for Clery YMCA who my dad coached. Went to the games in the company of Maude McFarlane.

I was at both the games as well as the semi final against Ashfield at Brockville. Brilliant times but got beat in the replay by Blantyre.

Was at the final the following year Cambuslang v Newtongrange 25000 at that game one of my neighbours played for Newtongrange and I knew Ian Printy well was in Maudes company for that one as well.. Some Scottish cup semi finals struggle to get attendances like that now.

Johnstone burgh think have a few ex pros Lafferty?

Yeah Graham Doran’s as well but think he’s injured.

Lafferty is apparently on 1.6k a week there, crazy money for junior football.

Ok thought Dorrans had moved to the states

Ah, Fraser Mullen. Joined us from Hearts, did nothing, got in bother for homophobic stuff on Twitter, and left.

[erin go bragh]

Missing the end of the game.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I imagine that the pubs in Tranent will be a tad lively today.

[SaulGoodman]

Nothing new there then

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I kind of expected a response along those lines.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1-0 Tranent.

[Keith_M]

Missing the end of the game.


Oops, so it is :embarrass

[gbhibby]

Lafferty on the bench for burgh. He will he throwing himself about if he comes on

[Scorrie]

Oops, so it is :embarrass

It’s ok…:I know how it ends!

[B.H.F.C]

What’s the script with the Junior Cup these days, given Tranent left the Juniors. Who gets in to it?

[GordonHFC]

It’s ok…:I know how it ends!

🤣🤣🤣

[Billy Whizz]

The referee looks about 12

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1-1

[hibsbollah]

The referee looks about 12

I recognise him, definitely referreed some youth games. Dreadful decision there, never a red and tranent will be fuming.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That's a soft booking for the Tranent lad that's got him sent off. Very soft.

[Callum_62]

Tranent down to 10 men.

Soft definitely but was it him that was late in the challenge before the JB goal ? Maybe swayed the refs decision if so.

[CentreLine]

Very very harsh

Bought the card. Referee at that level for a reason I guess.

Bought the card. Referee at that level for a reason I guess.In saying that im sure the boy that got sent off escaped a 2nd yellow earlier for kicking the boy in the head! [emoji23]

Fair point. Didn’t realise it was the same guy.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Laugherty at it already 😡

[B.H.F.C]

Part of the reason for being at that level could be that he looks about 14. Beyond looking like he doesn’t have a clue.

[hibsbollah]

I thought he’d refereed it quite well up to that point.

:greengrin

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Decent game 👍

[BILLYHIBS]

That's a soft booking for the Tranent lad that's got him sent off. Very soft.

No need to pull him back there was a defender waiting to clear it

Stupid

[NC1875]

Straight to penalties I take it ?

[hibsbollah]

Lafferty miss would be funny

[hibsbollah]

Nope, bigot hero.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Very poor penalties by Tranent

[Glory Lurker]

Is that the Tranent team that's in the Lowland League?

[1875Sean]

Is that the Tranent team that's in the Lowland League?

Yeah the other team is in the west of Scotland

[SaulGoodman]

Good to see Lafferty is still an unlikeable fud.

[Glory Lurker]

Yeah the other team is in the west of Scotland

Thanks. I take it they're members of both FAs? How does that work?

[Scorrie]

I think you can retain membership of the SJFA even if you play in the senior pyramid. Not all former Junior teams have but a fair few have done. If you retain your SJFA membership you get to play in the Junior Cup

[hibsboy07]

Yeah Graham Doran’s as well but think he’s injured.

Lafferty is apparently on 1.6k a week there, crazy money for junior football.

You're joking about Lafferty wages right?

[NC1875]

You're joking about Lafferty wages right?

I don’t know for fact obviously. But it was a mate from Glasgow that mentioned it yesterday when talking about the game.

Think they have some consortium pumping money in. One that made millions from a pharmaceutical company abroad apparently.

[Posh Swanny]

Kyle Lafferty is still Kyle Lafferty then. Scores the winning penalty in a cup final shoot out and his first thought is to run straight to the Tranent support and celebrate in front of them. What a fanny. 😂

[HibeeMackenzie]

Lafferty is a nob, Danny handling is murder and Fraser Mullen should be in the ufc

[Allant1981]

He has just been promoted to a category 1 ref. He is a friends younger brother

[The dalmeny]

Sure I've seen him reffing L1

[BILLYHIBS]

Lafferty looked the same but bigger

Still a d*ck !
