Only the 3 best winners are seeded. St Mirren won't be one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, we'll get leathered off seeded Airdrie United in the knockouts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu92 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I really am not too bothered about if we are seeded or not. Whether we win the cup is not going to hinge upon whether we play Celtic in the last 16 or in the final - we're going to need to beat all of the same teams at end of the day. We could just as easily be seeded and get St Mirren or Livi, or be unseeded and get Airdrie or Ayr. We should be aiming to get through the group stage at an absolute minimum, but we're still in essence in pre-season. Minutes in legs and getting new/young guys bedded in for the season ahead more important for the season as a whole imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the year when Dundee United had to go to Dens in the final group game and win to ensure a seeded place, they did and Dundee had done enough to go through as a second placed team. In the following round, seeded Dundee United were drawn to play Dundee at Dens. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) East Fife will be interesting. I've full faith we'll beat them but if they take us to penalties and win then they'll finish 1st. Can't really fault them if they stick 11 men behind the ball from minute 1 and dare us to try and break them down. Scratch that we're fine as long as we don't lose Edited July 25, 2023 by YassinMoutaouakil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not ? Other way round. If Forfar win they'll have a 100% record and a good chance of being seeded. Better for us if they don't. Airdrie winning last night didn't help as they're also now likely to be on 12 points. We need Kilmarnock and Ross County to slip up tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Aye, the seeding can help but it's definitely not the be all and end all. I'd rather avoid Celtic or Rangers straight off the bat tbh and seeding gives us a chance to do that so that's the slightly unfortunate thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Probably another topic for another thread, but the seeding in the cup is a lot of shite anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliphas Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Aye, as has been mentioned before, Ketts getting shot of all the bloated squad members ia going extremely well to be absolutely fair to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the last minute winner for Airdrie last night was a blow especially as they have Bonnyrigg as their last game. Looks like they will end up on full points and seeded. Not so worried about Forfar as I don’t see them winning in Paisley on Saturday. Kilmarnock have Raith Rovers at home tonight while County are away at FC Edinburgh. We need at least one of them to step on a banana skin to have a chance at seeding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 So we could draw Airdrie with us being the unseeded team or we could pip them to that seeded position and draw Airdrie. It could be home or away in either scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 While I agree it’s great to clear the deadwood and get rid of most of the crap, we also have lost a fair bit of quality and in my opinion have not adequately replace them. Still time, yes I get it, looking for three more, great can’t wait, are we in as good a place as we finished last season squad wise, IMO not in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Sadly I think to add any quality we need to clear out the dreck first. We've been burning money like the K-Foundation in the past year on shite transfers, shiter contract extensions and even shiter managerial appointments.

It’s been quite clear that previous mistakes needed to rectified before we could properly look forward. Kettlewell seems to be doing well in the first stage of that - clearing out the players he didn’t feel were up to it. He will, however, as all managers tend to do, live and die by his signings and only time will tell on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I’m in agree with you guys in relation to clearing the decks to get the quality in. However with the wage bill reduction will we be able to replace KVV, Max J and Furlong adequately. I genuinely do not think so. Soare, SODs and Wilkinson are downgrades. That much isn’t in doubt for me. Hopefully the three he brings in will add the quality which I think, especially up front we badly need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
