I fancy Eastfield’s chances.
Mate plays upfront for Eastfield. Anyone know much about Cupar Hearts?

I don’t know anything about them mate. I’ve had a look at their results and without being disrespectful to any of the teams they have already faced, Eastfield would have been a lot more comfy than Cupar have been against them.
I know that’s not a great was to assess teams but I’m fairly sure Eastfield won’t struggle. Particularly with home advantage.
EKYM need to get out of their division. On their day nobody in the first division lives with them, in fact over the course of a season playing at or near their best they’d be in contention to win the premier.
I think this will be the season they get promoted and are also in the League Cup Final.
Your 100% spot on mate - I'd say we are in the top 5 in the caley set up on our day. I joined in March 2017 and how we have managed to f**k up promotion the last two seasons is beyond me. They done it the season before I joined also. We have won 10/10 in the league this season so if we dont go up it will be time to chuck it.
As you say we play Giffnock in league cup final in early Feb. We knocked them out of the West 3-2 down at their bit, was a good game. I'm just returning from 7 months out so not sure if I'll be playing the final, the other keeper is in good form.
What team do you play for?
They are a good wee outfit up here well respected and might be harder than Oban think to despatch in the replay . What it will be is a good game to watchRothie do well at home, but they’ll get beat down the road.
Well run little club.
Sounds to have been a cracker ! And that’s with Rothie being missing 2 of their best players todayOban Saints 2 Rothie Rovers 2 AET.
Rothie win 9-8 on penalties.

Great result for Rothie.
They seemed pretty pleased at the end.
Decent hard working team who got the breaks on the day.
Good luck to them v Alba in the last 16.
It seems from the comments on Twitter that here have been remarks made after the first game by some of the Oban team regarding Rothie, either in person or on social media. I think Rothie might be enjoying throwing it is their face.
Alba v Rothie should be evenly matched, a great chance for both clubs to make the quarter finals.

I saw Alba last weekend at the pitch across from my house in Ralston, it was a great tie to watch. I know the next round is the 2nd of February mate but how do I find out the time and venue?
It’ll be 2pm, you’ll probably need to keep an eye on social media to get the venue but they normally play at Foxbar. Or I think that’s what it’s called.
I’ll make sure I post the venue on the thread as well.

Didn't get up to the Oban v Rothie game yesterday but heard it was a decent game. Fair play to Rothie, I'd never heard of them before this season. Good chance for them or Alba now to make the last 8.
I'd be surprised if there was any negative comments/aggro etc on Social Media from Oban Saints, not like them at all.
I agree about Oban mate. Reading between the lines it seems like there’s been comments somewhere about Rothie ‘not being very good but being hard working’.
The comments would suggest that they are trying to throw that back at someone.
Cheers Rosco, I'm not on Facebook or Twitter so if you manage to hear where it is I'd be grateful.
Alba are from the East End of Paisley and play all home games at either Ralston or Seedhill
Cupar play in our league and are in the bottom 4 but have played less games .... we play them next week ..... a dont think they are that good

Naw neeb
Am 52 ffs
Rothie are a fairly rural Aberdeenshire team.
The village has less than 600 people, so quite the feat getting this far.
They obviously tap into bigger towns nearby, but great work all the same.
Can't of played anyone of note tbf, they aren't even top 2 teams in an Aberdeen league which standard has dropped massively. Well run club though.
They played Oban twice and didn’t lose any of them, they’re ‘of not’. The also beat Dalziel in an earlier round.
Know nothing about Oban, but with all due respect, if they failed to beat Rothie over two games, they can’t be that good.
2 Semi-finals and a quarter-final of the Scottish cup in the last 5 years would indicate otherwise.
Only 2 or 3 players remain from 2 years ago as a new younger team is being assembled but a last 32 isn't a disaster.

Couldn’t have put it any better myself.
Obviously touched a nerve. Rothie are average and they’ve failed to beat them over two games.
I think your being disrespectful to Rothie tbh . They are trying to build again and move up the leagues and they will get there ! You said you haven’t any info on Oban yet say they must be poor you must be the Aberdeen and Shire vault of knowledge to claim this or play at a better level then btw I’m not Rothie fan either but think they deserve some credit for reaching the later stages of the cupObviously touched a nerve.

I’d say I know quite a lot about amateur football in Aberdeen and have beat Rothie every time I played against them before stopping playing.
Oban have been one of the most consistent sides in the Scottish/West Cups over the past decade or so. Yes they've probably lacked a bit of quality when they've come up against the likes of Colville Park but they're at the latter stages more often than not.
Put Colville out a couple of years ago did they not?
They may have done, I can't remember, think they beat Shortlees a few seasons ago.
I've seen Oban play Colville twice, Colville beat them 1-2 in Oban. Also went to the Semi Final in Hamilton a couple of seasons ago, Colville won that one 3-1.
I thought they beat them after a replay but it might actually be Bannockburn I’m thinking about.

Is this Rothie team the same players you played against?
Quick check revealed 5 of the Saints team who reached a couple of semi-finals started on Saturday and not 2 or 3 as i said.
What team did you play for mate?
It's extremely difficult for the majority of clubs to compete now due to the money flying around a select few amateur teams. It's a disgrace to be honest.
