The Ilford Drummer Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Are the Diddy Cup 1/4 finals next Wed? The Diddy website has semi finals to be played on 31st Aug so assume 1/4 finals are 24th?? Defo thought the semis would be worthy of a Saturday fixture?

YAFC Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Which section winner plays each other? i.e is it 1v2 3v4 etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-german exile Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Q/F's and semis have been mid-week as long as I can remember. Final on a Sunday in October usually. Assume Winner 1 v Runner-up 2 and so on, but don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotter Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's only teams that don't qualify..call it the Diddy cup.cos any games I have seen management n players are bursting there baws. To get a result.....so think it's just the fans of the Diddy teams that complain....cheers Cotter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classof2010 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'd like my team to win it but I still think since the ayrshire n Glasgow teams joined to make the super league it has become a bit of a joke and yeah I'd go as far as calling it a Diddy cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash city rocker Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Bursting their baws cotter really ? Swifty Kilbirnie ' we have used league cup as part of our pre season ' . Chris Strain jnr Kilwinning ' with all due respect to the competition , its not the be all and end all ' and 'in context its about preparation for the league '. Its nothing but a glorified pre season competition that costs full money. All about Lugar getting a game with Talbot , the Ants a game v Pollok without earning them.

cotter Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's cos teams get a few bad result s ..managers say only pre season .so they don't get a tough time off fans..if players are getting paid good money.by your club..they should be bursting there baws. Other wise they are cheating your clubs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ilford Drummer Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 The bookies don't price it up, section games with 1 official,1/4 and semis squeezed in between either side of first league games= Diddy Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotter Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So it's a Diddy cup.cos cos bookies don't price up...rubbish it's just managers who lose use that excuse ..Kilwinning no chance of winning league..Kilbirnie no chance of winning league..so why prepare for league..when u might have a chance to win a trophy at the start of season..cos it's a very difficult thing to do as a junior manager...it's all about survival .apart from Talbot Hurlford Troon Beith n Pollok....the rest fighting to stay up.....

.Stuart. Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If I was paying £6 to get in and the manager was telling his players that this was just a Diddy cup then I'd want my money back ETA I'd still be delighted if they dumped this cup though.

Kinda felt the same at the start of the season until I noticed teams were missing players often due to holiday - would rather have this scenario in a minor cup contest than starting the league campaign earlier with smaller squads. FWIW's think there's a place for one Ayrshire/Central district cup (maybe as a qualifier to the big Scottish ala in Germany?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean teams missing league fixtures and creates an imbalance in league games played from the very start. If teams such as Talbot or Beith are involved who are also missing league games due to senior cup fixtures it could mean they are four or fives games behind almost immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
