Jad Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is there a Forfarshire cup match tonight between Utd and Saints at Tannadice? My Arab pal tells me there is according to the Utd website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 It's the final of the 1997/98 cup is it not? Actually, joking aside, is it not the final of the 2010/11 or 2011/12 cup that never got scheduled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks guys, it was just that there was no info on our sites eg St J official club page etc. when I tried to check it out on other sites all I could see was a reference to 201/2012 so I thought it might be a mistake. Will be going as it is just round the corner from me. Presume it will be like the last U20's game and that both sets of fans will be accommodated in the same stand. Will be there with my other half who is an Arab but got to say that when we went to the U20"s game a few weeks ago at Tannadice it was great that both sets could sit together.

blueheaven Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Forfarshire Cup is a bit of a farce isn't it? Not sure who organises it (is there a Forfarshire FA??? Is there even such a thing/place as Forfarshire?) but I'd like to see it made into a pre-season tournament. It could be played over one or two days during the summer, with one local club hosting all the matches - fans buy a day ticket, spend the day at a ground and get to see a few different games. Teams involved could maybe agree to field younger players, depending on what suits. Maybe there could even be a different club from outside the region invited to take part each year.

Is it not an under -20 competition these days? I'm sure I read that it had been agreed as that a few seasons ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Forfarshire FA. Forfarshire is just another, rarely used, name for Angus. I think Saints must have been invited to play in the tournament at one time, given we aren't based in Angus.

The only problem with that is we already play the same teams to much already without adding preseason games against the same teams.

Saintdunc Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 We should field our strongest possible team to get a 4-0 win to make up for the the last game, whoever that was against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 The only problem with that is we already play the same teams to much already without adding preseason games against the same teams. ...but we normally tend to play a few of those same teams during pre-season anyway (Forfar, Dundee etc). I should have also added that I'd keep it as an underage tournament, so it wouldn't really interfere with what the first team's plans and fixtures were.

Abernethy Saint Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 If I remember, we used to play in the Perthshire cup, but that went belly-up, so we got invited to join in with the Angus lot. All this in nineteen-oatcake, when these competitions were probably the biggest things we played for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Gutted for United. They can't even celebrate their irrelevant league victory for more than 4 days. The mighty St Johnstone have bounced back and won a cup final against them. The Arabs will be inconsolable. nickyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrane Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Dewars Shield: Presented by Lord Provost Dewar of Perth, this competition was played between the winners of the Aberdeenshire, Forfarshire, Perthshire and Stirlingshire Cups, the winners being declared champions of the four Northern counties. The Baron Dewar was one of the sons of the founder of the John Dewar & Sons whisky distillery, and was widely known as a witty and forceful speaker, breeder of greyhounds and horses, and also a motoring pioneer. Attempts by the Fifeshire FA to be included were knocked back so as not to disturb the four club symmetry of the tournament. Originally played at the tail-end of the season, in the post-war era it was often played into the following season or even stretched over several seasons, if played at all. After an abeyance of 12 years, the competition was resurrected by, the now Lord Forteviot in 1927. If a county hadn’t played off their Cup, or it was still running, then That county FA would nominate a suitable club to enter the Dewar Shield. The Shield was last played for in 1982, and resides still at the McDiarmid Stadium’s boardroom in Perth.
