I just saw the result and came on here to compliment you on calling that!Cracking result for Cupar I called it last night a hatrick for Lawson he's a good bear as well
Haldane folded, though they do have a team in the Friday night over 35s league and it's all ex players from the old Saturday team.Is the amateur game really struggling?
When I used to follow it teams in the SAFL Premier like Campbeltown Pupils, Oban Saints, Cambria, St Pats, Greenock, Gourock, Goldenhill, Busby, RR East Kilbride & Postal Utd were all the big names. Other recognisable teams were like Lochgilphead Red Star, Duncanrig, Tarbert, Haldane, Rutherglen, Kings Park & Inverclyde.
Football at that level really seems to be on the bones of its arse for watever reason?
Good team were Haldane. Also teams like Fernhill Villa, St Joes, Aikenhead Thistle, Glasgow Harp too, unsure if they exist?Haldane folded, though they do have a team in the Friday night over 35s league and it's all ex players from the old Saturday team.
I was surprised by that result, I fancied Castlemilk to go all the way. I’ll post the venues and kick off times when they’re confirmed.Be down watching Greenock game again on 30th. Guessing 1pm KO again?
Watched their last game against Castlemilk.
The 35s league is probably more popular than ever at the moment. There are five regional 35s league and an over 40s Sunday league. The fact the games are played on a Friday night suits more guys from a family angle. A played a few seasons in the 35s pre Covid. Now in my third season in the over 40s. Play for Young Boys of PartickHaldane folded, though they do have a team in the Friday night over 35s league and it's all ex players from the old Saturday team.

I think in retrospect the SAFA might regret the 35s set up and wish they’d gone for over 40s only.The 35s league is probably more popular than ever at the moment.

Friday 29th March.Very open this year the Cup. Two games Saturday Shortlees v Annbank and Garrowhill v Drum Saturday morning.
All to play for.
Also big West game coming up as well
Gartcosh v Drum Ams.
They had a boy #11 on right wing in first half, was playing a blinder everytime he got ball he created something.I was surprised by that result, I fancied Castlemilk to go all the way. I’ll post the venues and kick off times when they’re confirmed.
You’re in the know @Roscoblue. I’m not. Both good teams so all to play for. Winners will play Bannockburn in Final with the Cat @Gmcg95 in between the stick.Friday 29th March.
First time I’ve ever been referred to as the cat, never been agile enough for that.You’re in the know @Roscoblue. I’m not. Both good teams so all to play for. Winners will play Bannockburn in Final with the Cat @Gmcg95 in between the stick.

Cheers mate.I was being nice as Dougie Todd monitors Follow Follow. Im sure you enjoyed beating St Pats in the Semi.
All the best in the Final.
How so? Just out of curiosity, what's the angle?I think in retrospect the SAFA might regret the 35s set up and wish they’d gone for over 40s only.
I think the success of the over 35s has had a negative impact on traditional amateur football.How so? Just out of curiosity, what's the angle?
Ah ok, I'm with you now. Like I said the times the games are played just work better for those with kids. Loads of kids activities are on a Saturday morning. The Friday night for the 35s, and the Sunday for the 40s works for many.I think the success of the over 35s has had a negative impact on traditional amateur football.
sounds like a ringer.They had a boy #11 on right wing in first half, was playing a blinder everytime he got ball he created something.
Second half he ended up on left side and completely fell out the game.
If selected. If selected. I'm making this up as I need attention: Sterling in goals.Cheers mate.
Should be a decent final. Good game to play in.
Young Boys of Partick 7 Glasgow on the Ball 2.Ah ok, I'm with you now. Like I said the times the games are played just work better for those with kids. Loads of kids activities are on a Saturday morning. The Friday night for the 35s, and the Sunday for the 40s works for many.
Anyway Young Boys of Partick vs Glasgow on The Ball, 1230pm tomorrow, Nethercraigs
As did I.....2nd XI!I played for them back then.
My old team Stein's going great guns.East of Scotland Cup Semi Final
Doune Castle 1 Steins Thistle 1
Steins won 4-2 on penalties.
Second semi final is on Friday evening,
Sandys v Stenhousemuir.
Beaten finalists last year in the Scottish and on a good run again this year. I don’t know much about Balgonie Scotia but took in Steins in the last round against another Fife team and it was a bit of a slog.My old team Stein's going great guns.

Hopefully Cupars experience will see them through, they are doing it the hard way again always seem to get away ties, anyway best of luck to all the teams tomorrow some cracking tiesTough one to call @Cuparbear . Greenock a really young team, predominantly U21’s with a bit of experience including David Grant who is up there with the best I’ve ever seen at amateur level. Cupar have been over the course and as holders will fancy themselves.
Wouldn’t rule out a replay and I think the winner will come from this tie.
The way Cupar are going about their business has really impressed me. Good to see other Fife clubs stepping up to the plate this season, Balgonie have a great chance tomorrow Greig Park Rangers fell just short to Steins in the last round.Hopefully Cupars experience will see them through, they are doing it the hard way again always seem to get away ties, anyway best of luck to all the teams tomorrow some cracking ties
Fancy Steins tbh mate but would be great to have an all Fife semi finalThe way Cupar are going about their business has really impressed me.

Steins were beaten finalists last year, still going strong this, won 13/13 in the league and also in the final of the East of Scotland Cup Final this season.

I only found this out recently and I can’t remember but it’s something to do with a Wycombe Wanderers supporting founder of the club, I think. I’ll get back to you on it though.Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers?
Probably be sorry I asked, but what’s with the name…?
Steins striker was sent off in the last 16 and he’s a big part of how they play. I’m not sure if he’s automatically suspended for today but if he is, they’ll miss him.Fancy Steins tbh mate but would be great to have an all Fife semi final

Our team used to play against them when they first appeared at boys club levelI only found this out recently and I can’t remember but it’s something to do with a Wycombe Wanderers supporting founder of the club, I think. I’ll get back to you on it though.
Astro.Will this be on grass or astro?
