Stranraer, East Kilbride and Morton must be our easiest route to the semis for years. Mind you taking nothing for granted at the moment.

{Ed007's Note - We lost to Morton at home in the LC in 2013.}

Remember it well ed one of Lennys many cup disasters

{Ed007's Note - It was the fact it was at home I couldn't believe, an absolutely freakish result and another Ambrose blunder that cost us. It's because I've seen so many of those games over the years that I was just glad to get yesterday's game over and done with and be in tonight's draw.}

Come to think of it we are incredibly partial to a "cup shock". I'll take 2-0 now though.

I remember it well too had about 25 corners hit the woodwork about three times made about 7 first team changes and played with the dreaded one up front and that was pukki!

Bit like yesterday away goalie thought he was Superman for the night.

{Ed007's Note - Would you say there's any real gulf in quality between a team like Morton and EK Thistle? For me most of Ek's young players, on that showing yesterday, could easily step up to play in the lower leagues. Didn't the commentator say yesterday their GK had been at Morton?}

Their wee CF played for St Mirren I think it was a couple of seasons ago. Only know this because the commentator said he had a bone to pick with Ambrose because he was clean through on goal in a St Mirren Celtic game and big Efe hauled him down .Some things never change

Many players who play for junior/ highland and lowland league teams are easily good enough for 3rd maybe 2nd division sides. Junior sides appeal to many players due to their proximity to major towns, the distance between Glasgow and sides like Peterhead, Arbroath and Montrose is often a put-off for many players. Also, money at junior level isn't too dissimilar to that at lower league level.

I thunk Morton got a wee bit of swagger the now Ed if am honest, speaking earlier on another thread that's where my mate is in charge of the youth

Few players yesterday for sure could step up but for me now it's all about preparation as well boys, yesterday knew they were in the shop window with cameras being there cannot see our game getting covered via the other ties

For me that's RD's best quality he tells it as it is saying one off games big moments big decisions can go against you

For me under NL the killie and Hearts games big decisions went against us under RD it's the same now with ICT and Ross County the difference being NL would have wanted to hit someone lol same choite different day mate (y)

When it suits some posters refer to SPL teams as "Pub teams", if that is the case East Kilbride cannot be much worse or else referring to SPL teams as pub teams is a shade over the top.
