When you see Tommy King singing "Scheva's Going Home" at Claypotts then you know it's Scottish Cup time for Bonargrove. Last season, Bonar reached the last 16 where they unluckily lost to the eventual finalists and after beating Olde Mill in the first round they faced Lochee Central in the 2nd round.
Central came into the game on the back of a good win over in Tayport but despite looking good in spells they never really looked like winning and Bonar ran out comfortable winners. Lochee, who lacked any real height, looked to play the ball along the ground at most opportunities but most of their attacks were snuffed out and Bonar had the better of the chances in the game.
Bonar lined up in a familiar 4-4-2 formation but had notable absentees in Mussy, Andy and Craig Stevens. Tommy King slotted in at the back; Chico played in centre mid; and Rada was offside.
Lochee Central made a good start when Deek made a rare mistake by fumbling a weak free kick and the striker bundled the ball home. The Central players were delighted and celebrated accordingly.
Bonar hit back in rapid fashion when Scheva knocked in a goal, and Rada burst clear to give Bonar the lead after 30 mins. Central made it 2-2 soon after when Scrimmy lost his man at the back post. However, it was 3-2 at half time as Tommy slotted home a pen when Ascot Dave was assaulted.
The 2nd half looked like it was going to be tough for Bonar with them shooting up the hill and into the wind but they got off to a flyer and were 5-2 up inside 10 mins of the 2nd half. Top scorer Ascot Dave grabbed both, one from the spot when Rada was upended and the Central player was lucky not to be red carded. Lochee grabbed a consolation with 10 mins to go with a long range strike but Bonar held on and now progress to round 3.
This week's match ratings come courtesy of Scheva, word for word:
Deek 6 - flogged @ least one, gr8 keeper tho
Stants 3 - awful, broke new boots in with a wimper
Gav 7 - solid
Tommy 8 - calming influence long live the king
Scotty 7 - above average
Dunny 5 - worse than man short
Ascot Dave 8 - on fire
Chico 6 - dominated by midgets
Robbie 7 - worked hard as always
Rada 7 - missed a few but constant threat
Scheva 7 - average, probably still drunk tho....
Deko and Scrim (not used) - if Carlsberg made subbies
