div Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Spartans just beat East Kilbride , thus ending their record breaking unbeaten for 30 games run. . And?East Kilbride are also a Lowland League team.They are three leagues below us. We won't have any problem winning on Saturday but I'm not entirely sure what that proves either way!

Yes - losing in the Semi or Final hurts. But I would take that hurt anytime as it means we are close to success. Wouldn't you? Oh - and the cash that is brought into the club. You're not very bright. You take the hurt dafty So you did enjoy Gretna 2006 and Hampden 2010 ? F*CKING unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only messing Div.I like most want us to win every game bar none.It's not beyond the realms of possibility to lose to Spartans and I think we will 1-2.But of course hoping for a 5-0 Saints win.IF it was TNS this week , I doubt anyone would predict a home win, so let's see what this game brings COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it helps our cause much to be so defeatist. There ain't a whole lot to be positive about on the park at the moment but one thing that HAS been decent this season apart from the performance at Hamilton has been our cup form. We will win on Saturday, and we will win easily. Mark these words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are running scared of a lowland league club on our own patch then we are more f**ked than I imagined.If we were away from home I might be concerned, but at the fortress that is the 2021 stadium...........Oh shit.

I'd expect us to win by at least 2-3 goals on Saturday. Absolutely no chance they will beat us. Sounds like JR telling us all what great players we have, results speak louder than words and so far we have beaten Livi 3-2, Edin City, Ayr twice , Hibs and wait for it Albion, with exception of Hibs, that's either Part time lower league or both. Edin City beat Spartans last year, we have already drawn 0-0 with them as a Premier team. So mate pain to say it, but it would hardly be a shock result. This month has shown just how truly mince we are...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They happen from time to time, but very seldom a non league team goes away from home and wins against a side three divisions above them. We won't lose on Saturday, we'll win by at least two goals.

Pepé Le Pew Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 The noisy mob from down the Clyde got a beating off them recently in the cup. However I feel we can get a win, the main thing is taking that form no matter how fleeting into the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the barrhead teacher Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Tricky fixture this given the lack of confidence and goals but there will be no excuses acceptable if we don't win this. Spartans are no mugs given recent results but there is still a gulf, hopefully, in fitness and quality, no matter what we have had to suffer watching this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsuMirren Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Spartans won't be much better than Edinburgh City. Problem there of course is that we looked frightened any time Edinburgh came at us. I'm sure we'd all grab seeing out a 3 - 0 right now.

Al Bundy Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Spartans recent results: 19/11/16 - Beat East Kilbride 1-0 at home 15/11/16 - Beat Preston Athletic 2-1 at home 12/11/16 - Lost to Tynecastle 1-0 away in the South Region Challenge Cup 05/11/16 - Lost to Gala Fairydean 3-2 away They are second in their league, miles behind East Kilbride, level on points with the mighty Dalbeattie Star but with a better goal difference and one point ahead of the even mightier East Stirlingshire. As someone else mentioned Eddie Malone is in their squad and ex Falkirk and Aberdeen player Gary Smith is their assistant manager, having had a look at their website none of their other players names seemed familiar. The match report for their defeat to Tynecastle mentions Jack Ross was spotted in the crowd. For any optimists out there we are 9/1 to win with a -4 goal handicap or for those verging on insanity 22/1 to win with a -5 goal handicap (both with Coral).
