Superally Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 It’s the 3rd round of the Scottish Cup this weekend and the Pars welcome Forfar to East End Park. Many fans will remember the legendary relegation play off game in May 2013 when the Pars took on the Loons following a 3-1 defeat at Station Park. The Pars eventually won 6-1 (7-4 agg) after initially going a goal behind and witnessed perhaps the greatest ever meltdown by a team at EEP with 3 Forfar players earning red cards to top off a remarkable day. More recently the Pars played Forfar in a pre-season friendly winning 6-0 with an O’Hara double and goals from McCann, Todd, Fenton and Todorov. Currently Forfar remain at the bottom of League 2 and from being a fairly strong league 1 side they arguably have been in a slow decline since they sacked “the bunnet” Dick Campbell. This season they are at risk of dropping out the senior leagues all together with fairly poor form - they have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 8 games scoring 15 and conceding 24. This game perhaps allows McPake to introduce some of the fringe players and promising youngsters to the team. However, we do have to respect Forfar and treat the game professionally if we are to progress to the next round. 3-0 Pars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Forfar bridies are genuinely rank, there's no comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 would be good to get a wee cup run, cant mind the last decent Scottish cup game we had tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Strongest team possible please. Then can introduce fringe players/younger ones if we are in position to do so. Cup run could be vital to some extra revenue which could allow Mcpake to add to the squad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Put out our strongest 11. We’ve been desperately poor in this competition for years, no time to be arsing around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digs Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 I can't see us doing anything other than playing our strongest team. We need to go as far as is possible to bring in some extra revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Should be a win, given Dick no longer with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to acknowledge any involvement in that year's tournament. Didn't happen. Nope. Seriously though, I just hope we score a goal - last time we scored in the Scottish Cup was in a 2-1 defeat to Morton in Jan 2018! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Dave MacKay on COW's was hopeful of getting clearance for the loan players for the Forfar game and Scottish Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest clue to know if these boys will be here past January. I see Motherwell denied Scott fox clearance to play for queen of the south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
