G.E.C. 19,347 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Who are we capable of beating?I'd avoid Aberdeen and Celtic for now. Hibs and St Johnstone seem beatable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We are capable of beating any of them in a one off match.Realistically everyone outside the top 4 should be beatable without it being too much of a stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,712 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 If we can do for 90 minutes what we did, in the first 45 minutes friday night, then maybe, only maybe though, we have a chance. A home draw for the next round would be fantastic, & would benefit our chances of getting to the final..I BELIEVE BROTHERS! I DO BELIEVE!

Mrs R 1 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The way we played last night I would say we are capable of beating any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centenarystand 2,229 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Id rather avoid the vermin but would love a go at any the others just to get a gauge of where we actually are just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I am not worried about them, but if we draw one then the key is that the players play every league game like it is that cup tie, get their sharpness to its top level and stop coasting as we have recently.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think the sheep and dundee hibs are the biggest barriers to us, other than septic that is, but I'd like to play them in the semi and Ibrox, put them out then have a party at the shitehole. I think that would really be funny and enjoyable picking up the cup at their ground, without them being there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymate1690 682 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 i woukd think the majority of them would probably beat us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Everyone of our players would walk straight into any team except celtics, so I'm confident no matter the tie.Hell - the likes of Wallace, Law. Macleod and Templeton would even improve celtics team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoodybloo 77 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 i woukd think the majority of them would probably beat usIf we played the way we have in the last few weeks then yes i concur,however play like last night and we would at the moment give anyone of them a game, I think we may see that the harder the opposition then the better we raise our game.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I just hope if we get the filth next round our players remember it may Be a Gateway to play in Europe. MAYBE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,477 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We beat a half decent League 1 team convinvingly at home, lets just remember that, I'd back every top tier club and most Championship clubs to beat that Dunfermline side too, plus I don't think Ally would play the same system against better opposition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iang2911 423 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 we wouldnt get into europe even if we won it mate need 3 years of accounts or something like thatThere is a chance bud, although very very slim. If Rangers did win the cup then the sfa can ask UEFA to allow entry. Like I said very very slim chance, point to note is the SFA's recent declaration that rangers are the same club and would receive punishments as such. Could they then argue the opposite if we win the cup and ask for a UEFA request to play? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,630 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This current team would be midtable SPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Dunfermiline are not very good and we should not go overboard on that result.We would struggle against most SPFL teams.Our right side is so poor. Most good teams will take advantage of it. Our CHs really are an unknown against good forwards.Our midfield is very average and Daly is off form and looks slow at present.My guess is we can beat a lot of mediocre SPFL teams on a good day, but are in danger of an embarrassing result on a bad day.It would however be good to see how we really are against top division opposition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,991 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 If I'm honest , if we were to be in the spfl , I reckon we'd be battling to be in the top 6 for the split. Not any better than that I'm afraid . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
