come on shire Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The games take place a week after the 1st round of the Challenge Cup. Anyone know when the draw is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Smiles Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 If last season is anything to go by it will be around the 10th July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewh Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Saints miss last 32? Maybe the one less extra round'll help us win the trophy? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's very silly that the promoted side(s) from the Championship have to play in the first round instead of the relegated side(s) from the Premiership. Still, if our match gets moved to the weekend before our first league game it will be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ah yes, part 2 of the quadruple IIRC you never got past the house made of straw last season, I can't see it happening this season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't - all of the unseeded clubs (infact everyone in the League Cup R1 draw except for yourself) will be playing Challenge Cup ties that weekend. Your tie will, going by previous practice, be played on Tuesday/Wednesday 4th/5th August. As you say it is very silly you enter in R1 and St Mirren in R2 - it is also very silly that Dundee United enter in R3 despite not playing in Europe.

Right enough, I forgot about that utter joke of a tournament. Oh well, looks like we'll be playing two midweek fixtures in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Has anyone attempted to explain why they continue to use this crazy system? It gets better. SPFL have published dates for the draws of cup rounds this season alongwith the actual round dates. Note this regarding League Cup R2 draw: http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/league-cup-draw-details/ Second roundDraw to be made on Monday August 3 Ties due Tuesday/Wednesday August 25/26 That would be before Hearts play their R1 tie - unless they break with previous practice and play it the midweek before, opposed to after. So by my reckoning, we'll see a repeat of the Rangers situation of a year or two ago, whereby the draw will be before the tie and the seeding would be out-of-kilter if Hearts then lost?

parsforlife Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Oh spfl. We really aren't asking much, why do you continue to make such basic mistakes? We'll now see an aggressive statement attacking the fans for questioning them, promising us it will be fine and then put there heads in the sand when they are once again proven wrong.

There's zero chance we will lose to either the bottom half of League 1 or League 2 side we'll get drawn against in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Firstly that's not the point, the seed club isn't always a certainty. Secondly that's what people said last year before Rangers only got past Queen's Park 2-1, hardly an emphatic scoreline you'll agree, to prove that very point...

Elixir Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sevco are utterly howling, though, and it's still largely irrelevant in any case. We'll progress at a canter and be seeded in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 SPFL have published dates for the draws of cup rounds this season alongwith the actual round dates.

Surprised they haven't published a draw date for the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
