Clydebank vs Elgin City

[Silgni RFC]

On BBC scotland just now.

Some crowd in, good to see plenty young lads in enjoying themselves and creating an atmosphere at their local club.

Some proper MNF

 

[Abacab]

Can we borrow the capo to replace Ross?

 

[brianhrfc]

Mon the bankies

 

[Jamiegatami]

Did he just say Rory Loy was co-commentator?

 

[Business_Bear]

Love cup ties like this, Bankies will fancy their chances.

 

[Themaruso]

Being a Forres Loon.. come on the Bankies!

 

[sonofbunk]

Do you think Clydebank get called Zombies and newco wherever they go?

Very different circumstances to Rangers of course. There’s no lineage between this team and previous iterations of Clydebank

 

[borderbluenose]

To be fair some who still watch them were there in 60's 70's almost as faithful as us. Used to line pitch with sawdust at Holm Park and many memories of Clydebank way back to ES Clydebank hope they rise further.

 

[Silgni RFC]

Good strike, 1-0 Elgin

 

[LiborSionko14]

Some hit there

Clydebank have been shite

But that lack of lineage is entirely the fault of numerous shyster owners.

Same colours, lots of the same fans means it’s the same club I first saw Rangers play in 1987.

Like saying AFC Wimbledon arnt the same team that won the cup in 88.

 

[bkerr72]

Elgin deservedly ahead poor defensively from the Bankies though. They need to calm down a bit they aren't keeping the ball at all.

Noticeable gulf in class.

I can’t remember the ins and outs of it but, if we’re talking lineage, isn’t the current Airdrie actually the old Clydebank ?

 

[rfcg]

Impressed with Rory Loy’s commentary so far, actually has something useful to say rather than the usual speak for the sake of it of a co commentator

Clydebank number 16 had a shocker there.

The number 8 is a big clumsy looking player. Looks so awkward on the ball

 

[Silgni RFC]

Expected them to have a proper go

 

[HereLiesDavidStHubbins]

Was always impressed by the bankies goalie while he was at his last club. Had little chance with that strike though.

Was thinking he must be about 24 by now.

Had a look, oh he’s 33

 

[Elm1872]

Watched Clydebank occasionally in the 70's, was half expecting Jim Fallon and Jim Gallacher to be playing tonight.
I believe the current Clydebank had to obtain permission from Airdrie to use the club crest.

It's something like that, don't ask me the exact details though.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

What ground is this at?
Rory Loy is v good.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Ok I won’t

 

[HereLiesDavidStHubbins]

Holm Park. Clydebank, and Yoker Athletics shared ground.

Holm Park. Clydebank, and Yoker Athletics shared ground.

Cheers
Last time I was there watching Pollok it was a grass park!

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Just occurred to me that I’ve never been to Clydebank in my life

Just occurred to me that I’ve never been to Clydebank in my life

Lucky you

 

[cammyranger]

Good to see the Bankies getting beat and outplayed.

Can’t stand them and their greetin faced support.

 

[BoyciesDa]

Just occurred to me that I’ve never been to Clydebank in my life

Lucky you sir

 

[Ped78]

Holm Park

Is this where this is getting played?

 

[lwl]

Cracking strip that (Clydebank).

 

[rangeral]

Airdrie United after failing to be voted in on it own after Airdrie went out of business bought out the old Clydebank who were heading that way as well they were also given permission by SFL to take the old Clydebank place in the League and move Clydebank to Airdrie

This version of Clydebank was formed in 2003 by the UCS - United Clydebank Supporters

 

[Templbluenose]

Is this where this is getting played?

Yes. Holm Park Yoker

 

[DoubleWhopper]

What’s the situation with replays in the cup this season ?

 

[HereLiesDavidStHubbins]

Is this where this is getting played?

Yes though I wonder if that poster was actually referring to Kilbowie in his post?

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Cracking strip that (Clydebank).

Reminds me of River Plate.

 

[Tony75tfc]

How do junior teams qualify for the proper scottish , talbot , darvel , clydebank representing the WOSL , would be good to see pollok in the proper scottish , they would prob need to get floodlights installed at newlandsfield though

 

[rangeral]

What’s the situation with replays in the cup this season ?

Replays upto Round 3 only

Played to a finish on the day from Round 4 onwards

 

[Davger 72]

Noticed a lot of people praising Rory Loy for his commentary and punditry recently and I can see why. Comes across very well and articulate which is very rare indeed for a Scottish professional footballer.

 

[rangeral]

They have SFA membership

 

[lwl]

Reminds me of River Plate.

Exactly what I was thinking. Away to see if I can get a kids River Plate strip for my wee boy, coz I'll be fucked if I'm buying a Clydebank one.

 

[cammyranger]

Bankies, Cumnock, Medda, Talbot and Buffs (I think) all have SFA membership now and automatically qualify.

However junior cup and south challenge cup winners get a place also, maybe even the winner of the WOSFL - that’s Pollok’s only route in for now.

 

[rossgers]

Craig Moore popped over from Oz for the big game.

 

[55 and counting]

Just occurred to me that I’ve never been to Clydebank in my life

Best to keep that up until you die.

 

[Oranje]

Kilbowie A McDonalds and an Aldi now. I remember just before the demolished it you could go in and wonder around the old abandoned stands. Grass was up to me knees.

 

[lwl]

Skippy needs a pair of gloves there.

 

[Spack Man]

Is that Darren Jackson!!?? Oh my effing gosh!!! He looks utterly horrific.

 

[lwl]

Best to keep that up until you die.

Not even a visit to the world's only sail through chippy?

 

[Ped78]

Oh look fireworks
