SanguinePar Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'm kidding about that, but seriously, look at the cup draws they have had so far: Wick Academy >> Alloa >> Darvel >> Ayr >> ICT If they make it to the final they will surely have had the easiest run of any team that's ever made it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I can’t imagine there has been a team that has had an easier draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutsch Par Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Only team I can recollect a team potentially making a final without playing anybody from the top flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Would love that sort of a cup run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how accurate his opinion was, or whether he was deliberately playing down the Pars historic achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 We beat Aberdeen 3 6 away in the 3rd round, no way can that be true. Brechin Hamilton, Forfar and Raith were all still in it. St Mirren beat 3rd Lanark 0-8 in a replay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might even have repeated that in one of these in-house interviews with former players. Aberdeen were a poor team back then, tbf. The previous season they won at Ibrox in the last game of the season, to narrowly avoid relegation. Rangers were top going into that last game, needing a point to be champions. Hearts, who were a point behind in second, failed to capitalise on Rangers slip, going down to Celtic at Tynecastle. I bet the Celtic fans were greeting all the way home. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA-go Par Adonis Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 And now they've got a semi-final against a side who were knocked out in the 4th round... If fate is smiling on someone, let's hope it's on Inverness. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Will Falkirk get into Europa League if they make the final? Just think, Aberdeen might have had a decent season, if their players had tried a bit harder. Edited March 20, 2023 by scottyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the rules changed and they have to win the competition to get into Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
