Scottish Version of the Trophy Collector

[nastymiller]

The Scottish Version of the Trophy Collector – Sign-up (All the rest stolen from jimbowmanuk's fantastic sign up - and wanted to try one myself)

As Everyone knows it’s the managers who grab a lot of the headlines for the success or failures of their teams. The successful managers are placed in the highest esteem with the media salivating over there every great purchase and never really focusing too much on the bad games, the unsuccessful managers however are ridiculed, with every bit of where they went wrong picked apart in detail.

This sign-up is to find out who will be successes and who will be failures, the winner will be deemed to be the manager with the most trophies. I require just 10 names as all managers will take over (randomly) the 10 clubs from the Scottish 4rd Division - so you will all be head to head.

Should have a few updates for you shortly - and as said in the sign up notice - this idea has been stolen in a nearly identical format to jimbowmanuk's fantastic sign up, all thanks to him for a great idea and one I wanted to try out in a country that should see the season's tick by quickly.

Scottish League Challenge Cup - First Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Alloa 2- 1 Elgin City
Hamilton 2 - 0 Stranraer
East Fife 2 -0 East Stirlingshire
Buckie Thistle 0 - 1 Peterhead
Annan 1 - 0 Queen's Park
Ayr 2 - 1 Berwick
Stenhosemuir 2 - 1 Clyde (AET)
Stirling 2 - 0 Montrose

Three teams making it through to the 2nd round, with a couple of early cup head to heads.

Scottish League Challenge Cup - Second Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Annan 0 - 3 Dundee
Peterhead 2 - 1 Brechin
Alloa 0 -3 Morton

Just Peterhead keeping the dream alive for one manager.

Scottish League Challenge Cup - Third Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Livingston 2 - 2 Peterhead (Peterhead lost on pens)

So unlucky for the Peterhead boys who lost 3-2 on pens.

-----

Scottish League Cup - First Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Queen's Park 1 - 2 Ayr
Dundee 2 - 1 Elgin City
Annan 1 - 1 Livingston (Annan win on pens)
Falkirk 4 - 0 Clyde
Stirling 1 - 1 Alloa (Alloa lost on pens)
Peterhead 2 - 1 Cowdenbeath
Stranraer 1 - 1 Ross County (Stranraer win on pens)
Montrose 0 - 0 Partick Thistle (Montrose lost on pens)
Berwick 1 - 2 Morton
Queen of Sth 2 - 0 East Stirlingshire

So 3 of our teams carry on through to the 2nd round with a couple of teams needing penalty shoot outs to progress, Annan and Stranraer beating League 1 teams.

Scottish League Cup - Second Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Motherwell 6 - 0 Annan
Stranraer 1 - 3 Kilmarnock (AET)
Peterhead 1 - 2 Inverness CT

So the League Cup dream is over for our boys, but I would suggest Stranraer came closest to a 3rd round match after taking Kilmarnock to extra time.

-----

Scottish Cup - Second Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Elgin City 2 - 1 Edinburgh City
East Stirlingshire 2 - 1 Inverurie Loco Works
Lossiemouth 1 - 2 Clyde
Spartans 1 - 2 Peterhead
Brora 1 - 2 Queen's Park
Montrose 3 - 1 Cove Rangers
Stranraer 1 - 0 Whitehill Rovers
Alloa 1 - 0 Deveronvale
Berwick 1 - 2 Buckie Thistle
Annan 3 - 0 Abbey Vale

9 from 10 go through, however Berwick can now concentrate on the league having been knocked out of all cup comps.

Scottish Cup - Third Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

Ayr 2 - 0 Alloa
Dalbeattie Star 1 - 3 East Stirlingshire
Stranraer 1 - 2 Stenhousemuir
Montrose 1 - 2 Brechin
Elgin City 0 - 3 Ross County
Annan 1 - 0 Queen's Park
Clyde 0 - 3 Peterhead

So, 4 clubs through to the 4th round and time for the big boys and 2 of our clubs have drawn them. Annan host Celtic, whilst Peterhead are away at Rangers - lets hope the boys don't set a new record for biggest defeats which currently stand at 5-0.

Scottish Cup - Fourth Round Update (L3 Clubs only)

East Stirlingshire 0 - 1 Hibernian
Rangers 2 - 0 Peterhead
Annan 1 - 3 Celtic

So cup games all over for another season, and all three of the teams can hold their heads up high after great games against Prem teams.

1/4 Season League Update:

Peterhead are sitting pretty at the top of the table at the moment having won 5 from 9 games, losing just 1 time and chalking up 18 points. Queen's Park, Annan and Alloa sit in the 3 promotion play off positions. Bottom at the moment are Stranraer with just 1 win and 6 points.

[marty78]

Great start for Denis Law. (One n by the way)

[jimbowmanuk]

come on Stranraer, after great results in the league cup you cant even beat 3rd division teams

[stothy]

Stothard got a tricky team, but he is not looking bad!

[5ergio]

Played a few games in cups, sitting in play off spots for now and also MotM for August, holding the highest points earned in a month! Decent start I'd say for McCormack!

[nastymiller]

3/4 Season Update:

With just 9 games of the season to go Peterhead are still top of the table and now 4 points clear of 2nd placed Annan, Queen's Park and Berwick occupy the play off places. Stranraer are still bottom, and now 5 points behind the 9th placed team and seem destined to be the wooden spoon winners.

Promotion Playoff Semi Final

Annan 1 - 2 Brechin (L2) over 2 legs
Alloa 0 - 2 Queen's Park

Final

Brechin 3 - 2 Queen's Park

So only 1 team promoted this season, and good luck to Peterhead, let's hope they stay up and as for Queen's Park, lets hope there is no hangover this coming season.

I will be updating this post with stats from each club, such as leading scorer etc - let me know if there is anything you want to see and I will update this (I will also be creating an end of season only thread so we can see all the info in one page.

[5ergio]

Good to concede only 25. If only we score more than 50 next season, we should be fine! Up the Spiders!

[marty78]

CHAMPIONS

Very close though. Unlucky Queens Park with just 25 goals conceded.

Nastymiller it would be nice to see the league>player stats page as well if you can. Cheers

[terence123470]

8th too bad for me, Nastymiller it would be nice if you pm me my best attacker, midfielder and defender abilities.

[jimbowmanuk]

Clearly Stranraer are playing the long game, starting at the bottom and hopefully getting a little better each season

[stothy]

Beat predictions, now lets push Stothard! Would love to see my transfers!
