dantodan Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 There is little else happening so I am starting a thread for the first leg of the Premier League Knock Out Cup of 2016. Glasgow are favourites for the KO Cup and are involved in the league play offs too. Newcastle are the underdogs going into the KO Cup final Newcastle Robert Lambert Victor Palovaara Matej Kus Ludvig Lindgren Steve Worrall Ashley Morris Danny Philips Glasgow Richie WorrallNike LunnaAaron SummersRene BachRichard LawsonFernando GarciaDanny Ayres Mr and Mrs Worrall will be please to see their twins lining up as heatleaders in this cup final. Newcastle favourite Rene Bach along with Richie Worrall is likely to cause the Diamonds a few problems. As a supporter of Newcastle Diamonds I think we will win the cup tie by just a couple of points maybe by winning by 12 points at home and losing by 10 at Glasgow!

lucifer sam Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Glasgow are favourites for the KO Cup and are involved in the league play offs too. Newcastle are the underdogs going into the KO Cup final I would disagree with that, I'd say Newcastle are narrow favourites, although I think it will be very close. As long as it's not a draw on aggregate, because the cup has a full replay rather than golden heats, and not sure if there's enough time before the end of October for that. (EDIT: Just checked, and it is golden heats, not a replay. Phew!!) All the best Rob Edited October 16, 2016 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Newcatle were my favourites (other than Glasgow) at the start of the season. For me this is about the Heat leaders. We did well enough in Newcastle during the season, but the track was a mess that night and I'd be delighted if we kept this to 10 in Newcastle tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been for Aaron Summers' t/r down there , the two league matches would have finished level on aggregate . However we had Barker riding a lawn mower at that stage of the season , and Rene Bach on his old stomping ground should be a big plus for us . But apart from that heat 15 blip against Sheffield , the Diamonds have grown in stature over the season . So this should be a cup final too close to call with any confidence . Though for us Tigers fans , any Glasgow v Newcastle cup ties always has us thinking back to 1991 and that semi final second leg at Brough and Brian Nixon's heroics Edited October 16, 2016 by Paulco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Diamonds need 14-16 point lead to take to Gasgow and I can't see them getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
