Maverick_Golfer 11 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Noticing many SPL are out or are potentially heading out the Scottish Cup, If we win our tie, do you believe we can win it? Or has it come to early for our young side? The league will take care of itself and I appreciate that's the priority, but a cup run would be amazing!!

The Monk 3,207 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Dundee Utd will be very tough but if we get past that I see no reason why we wouldn't be in with a good chance. The only major worry is drawing that lot, but hopefully someone else puts them out first or just wait till if we meet them in the final.

Maverick_Golfer 11 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Arbroath proved it tonight, got robbed of a goal, and we are a far better side than them. With guts hunger desire and hard graft anything is possible!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If you'd asked me a month or two ago, I would've said no.But if we continue to improve the way we have been over the next few months, then yes, I think we could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centenarystand 2,227 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Unfortunately at present our team of kids would not be able to compete with El tarrier just now.Like the bheastly animal they are it would smell blood if drawn against us.

The Godfather 71,874 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nope.We will be doing great to just get past DU to be honest.We don't have the squad to win the cup this season, we need a far stonger backline before we can think of lifting the cups against SPL sides.

DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 To be honest, I don't see us getting through against DU. I said the same before ICT. I still don't think we are playing well enough to beat most SPL sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR1979 1,964 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It would be a result if we got past dundee hibs.I think we could get 1 of the cups next year but think it may be too soon this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 We beat Motherwell so we can beat Dundee Hivees. It'll be a tough ask but it is possible.After that who knows?? What I do know is that the cards will be stacked against us at every turn. The sfa do not want us winning the cup and the refs have already shown an unhealthyt bias in favour of the bhead-rhattlers.

EatDolphins 5,355 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I believe we can beat DU but in all honesty I don't think we've got enough to take us all the way. But I am proud that we made it this far in the first place, Christ after the year we've had I'm proud every time we take to the field! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,207 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I suppose we always hated playing DU as they would sit back and counter with Russell, Mackay-Steven etc. We may find it easier if there's actually a battle for possession so we can counter with McKay and Templeton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think we can go on a good cup run and possibly win it if we get past the DundeeHivs game, it will be a hard task as every team will raise their game against us, but anything can happen in football.

OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I dont see why not.Apart from the scum, is there a team with a better front 6 than us?Black MacleodTempelton Shiels McKay LittleIf they can gel together I think they could be devestating, we need Black and Shiels to improve for that to happen though.The defence really worries me though.

You forgot Kyle in your 6. If we get him back to full fitness and get the player who is a former internationalist then we have a player who is a massive handful for any opponent. Very effective player when he is fit and remember "they" don't defend well against big strikers. Remember McCulloch last season, Jelavic before and Cousin a few years back?Cup is in the bag.

devref 201 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 think we still lack that wee bit to win it but a good result in dumpdee could do us the world of good enough for a semi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig53 326 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Not precisely related to the OP question, but what is the record of how far a Third Division team has gotten in the Scottish Cup? Anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
