Costanza Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hope it's Falkirk and we pump them. 1. I'm still bitter about that Brockville cup game. 2.

tian447 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hoping Arbroath win their replay, from a purely selfish point of view, I'm looking forward to having a bevvie in the house and then a quick half hour trip on the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup....they used to have a man in dinghy to retrieve balls hoofed over the East Terracing. One Game almost abandoned in the 70's, as a sea fog rolled in. I remember standing behind the goals, seeing Donald Park emerging through the fog to score the goal to tie up the win.

151 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Perfect draw for me and my brother, we celebrated that Rangers ball like a goal. Then we wanted it to be away and it was Arbroath cause its only along the road, and Falkirk cause we have never been. Either or is good but would prefer Falkirk.
