Scottish Irn Bru Cup

I didn't in my life ever believe I'd come across someone accused of being obsessed with Bray Wanderers.

[Mr A]

That's because Sligo played a team who are a much higher level than Bray did.

I thought we were all Tarmonbarry Alberts fans here.

For anyone interested you can catch the TNS v Elgin City 3rd round match on Welsh language station s4c tomorrow afternoon (k/o 4:30pm) s4c is channel 120 on freesat.

The game overlaps onto the Harps/Dundalk game but just a heads up.

TNS won that game 4-0 btw.

It's only the second weekend after the end of the league. It would have been interesting to see what media coverage a LoI club would have gotten had they gone on a bit of a cup run.

Not financially viable though, most players contracts at sligo and bray are finished now so theyd have to extend them which would probably cost more than the competition would bring in.

I was wondering alright what role contracts like that might have in such a scenario.

The promotion-relegation play-offs might be played for a week or two depending on what they come up with. Contracts would have to be extended there as well.

Next round after this is in January so would have been a nightmare for Irish clubs if they had progressed.

[pineapple stu]

That is a bit mad. You wonder if there's a proviso in there for a postponement if it came to it. You're talking what - two wins for it to happen?

[Gather round]

The Non-Scottish clubs need(ed) to win four ties to make the final. I quite fancy a trip to Dumbarton, Inverness or Oswestry for the semi. Draw's tomorrow.

Your wish is their command ! A trip to sunny Inverness in February awaits.

Flybe have a scheduled service from Belfast Harbour to Inverness every day except Saturday. That's a pain.

Scottish Challenge Cup final possibility:
TNS (Wales) v Crusaders (Irish League)

Tallaght Stadium might be the suitable venue for that for a someway reasonable crowd.

See ye there if it happens ;)

I'm looking forward to a nice midwinter weekend in the Heiland.

In fairness, that fixture would probably have a god-awful crowd if it was held anywhere other than Belfast.

TNS have no fans, and looked outnumbered at home by travelling Queen of the South supporters in the last round.

It would have a ridiculously small crowd if played at Hampden, but I can't see a Scottish cup final being played anywhere outside of Scotland.

Inverness surely win that competition now

[EatYerGreens]

I'm not so sure.

I'd expect TNS to reach the final, and they'd have a decent chance of betting either of the other two semi-finalists I reckon.
