Full Draw

Better hope it's Camelon getting to Brora is a nightmare a 5hr  trip you can be in most of Europe quicker

[Jeff]

Camelon is an utter dive.

 

Had some cracking house parties there though

[baddab]

With no crowds there is no incentive to move it to Dingwall or Inverness

[Shanks said no]

Camelon match report from Saturday

Boxing Day 2020. The day when Camelon Juniors FC would make their first ever appearance in the first round of the Scottish Cup.  The stage was set for an exciting tie at Carmuirs Park against Highland League Champions Brora Rangers.

Early in the morning, some of the clubs' volunteers arrived at the Park to get the pitch ready. All looked good and an inspection passed it fit for playing so Brora set off on their journey.

A couple of hours later, Storm Bella made its presence known and, with the help of a few extra volunteers, a mix of sponge rolling, forking, sand spreading and scarifying took place to try to keep the pitch playable.

By the time Brora arrived we seemed to be fighting a losing battle as the rain was relentless. But the referee deemed it playable and both teams made their final preparations.

Just before kick off, the ref spoke again with both managers to discuss options. Both were happy to start the match but the ref made it clear he would abandon the game should there be a player safety issue. Regardless of the score at that time, he would bring it to a premature end and we would go again another day. This was agreed to and the match began.

Both teams started well and from the pace of the game, it seemed the players might have believed if they played fast then the match would be over quicker! There were chances at both ends with great saves from both 'keepers.

However the rain kept falling and it became clear this match wasn't going to go the distance. As the half time whistle was blown with the score still level at 0-0, the ref once again called both managers together and the collective decision was made to abandon the match due to the persistent rain and strong winds.

The rescheduled tie is currently set for this Wednesday, 30 December, at Carmuirs Park with a 7.30pm kick off. This is of course subject to the festive weather! It will once again be live streamed for £5 via www.camelonjuniors.co.uk/ppv but anyone who paid on Saturday for the first attempt at the tie will automatically get access to the match without having to pay again. Thanks to everyone for sticking with us and lending your support in many different ways.

Brora did well in the League Cup. I think they will be League One standard.

[indianajones]

Nightmare if the guys need to get all the way to Brora.

Arthur Montfort used to call it Camelon (akin to Camelot), Northside of Falkirk.

Try sailing that longboat up the Union Canal 😂 

 

I used to watch a lot of junior games in the 90s and their pitch was amazing. IIRC it was looked after by the Falkirk FC groundstaff as they played their reserve games there. The pies were excellent too......

Robbed of their chance of a promotion playoff last season by the Brechin chairman being on the SPFL board.

As does the automated ScotRail voice.

 

Locals (neds) know it as Kemlin though.

Brora could move the tie over to Bergen and we could pay homage at Kniksen's statue 😃

I'm too posh to know how a public transport tannoy system would pronounce it.

 

Used to work in Larbert in the early 90s.

Not heard Kemlin being used since.

He's easy to deal with - just keep him off his right. He can't hit it for toffee with his left foot

I was always keen to see us sign Jai Quitongo when he played for Morton. Sadly he got a bad injury IIRC. Still looks useful.

One of the best things I've ever heard was a German say Larbert

[Cade]

A nervy 2-1 win after going behind.

 

It's the Hearts way.

 

[Tommy Brown]

Looking at London Heartswe have never played against Brora.

Just hope we can afford to go up there.

 

 

Edit:

You'll have to trust me, the team above Broxburn was British Columbia All-Stars

The Mariners? Its next to a canal

[Footballfirst]

I think that only one game in R2 will be covered live (on BBC Scotland).  While the Hearts game would be an attractive option for TV, they will probably opt for Morton v Dunfermline as the tie of the round.

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

See Elgin got Ayr. Plenty of hot air there,  should be no problem with a frozen pitch

Wrong canal. The park is next to the Forth & Clyde Canal.  The Union canal joins it at the Falkirk Wheel, the best part of a mile to the west.

[millerjames398]

Hope camelon do it. it's a 5 minute walk along the canal from my house, with some decent views of the pitch from the path..could also run the risk of gettin my arse booted by the Y-Mob, so maybe give it a miss😂🇱🇻

[Mikey1874]

Brora v Hearts would be tie of the round. 

[davemclaren]

We haven’t been in the second round since 1970 apparently. What changed after that

season?

We could fly to Wick or Inverness then its only an hour on a coach.

[Maroon Sailor]

Typical diving Hibs git

 

At least the ref changed his mind

[Maroon Sailor]

Dundonald Bluebell 1-1 Queen's Park

[Jeff]

Wow

[Kiwidoug]

I fancy us to win this tie.  I suspect even greedy jambo will be tempted to stick 50p on the nose.

[Maroon Sailor]

How did Murray miss that ?!🤣

[Jeff]

Murray omfg

[gregzy2k7]

Would prefer we faced camelon tbh! As others have said brora is in the middle of nowhere and its a potential banana skin tie, happyish with the draw though, I would fancy us to be in the next round no matter which one we get.

With social distancing, wouldn't we need about 8 planes to into fly to Wick?

On TV surely?

[Maroon Sailor]

At 28 I was wondering why Simon Murray finds himself at Queen's Park - but after that miss when he goes round the keeper, has all the time in the world to put it in the net, and he takes his time but still smashes it against the bar, it's no surprise

[Maroon Sailor]

Dundonald 1-3 Queen's Park

 

Queen of the South v Queen's Park it is

[Maroon Sailor]

Can hardly see the ball with the snow on the pitch
