Popular Post kingjoey Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 The fact that football authorities in this country think it’s normal to have a National cup final at a “neutral” venue with one team being given, at the outset, the majority of tickets and also given the same end of the stadium every single time they play there, is as tin pot as it gets. And the fact that they don’t see any of that as an issue, is even more tin pot. 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ICTChris Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 The Scottish League cup is a national cup competition. It's one of the only two national competitions that non-Old Firm teams have a hope of winning. It's a major competition. Saying it's meaningless, with no reward is just odd. The reward is winning the cup. Football is about winning trophies. 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) It ceased to be a "major" trophy the moment they took away the continental qualification for the winner. It doesn't even carry any significant prize money, so evidently it's not even considered a prestige trophy by those who organise, or sponsor it. The change to the pre-season format was overdue and welcome, but that in and of itself betrays the fact it just does not carry the same importance as the two genuinely "major" honours. The fact there is the arse-end of a knock-out competition tacked on just further saturates a calendar that already contains far too much football. If the whole competition disappeared tomorrow it wouldn't be missed. Presumably the people who still regard it as "major" also consider the Tennent's Sixes a "major" trophy? After all, it was a national competition. Edited November 9, 2023 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy for you to say I've been calling it mickey mouse cup since it was first devalued in 1991 Your arguments make some logical sense and I commend you on how you put them forward, but are you seriously saying I should suddenly become a hypocrite on this issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
