Lol @ 4 of the 5 colts being drawn together. 

Decent enough draw for us, haven't played East Fife away since 2002 so a new ground for a lot of folk (not me). 

I haven’t been there since last century...:green:green

I won't be going because it's a glorified friendly against a non-league side from England.
All power to those who make the trip down but it doesn't mean I was wrong when I said Scotland has a massive problem with alcohol.


Scotland also has a massive obesity problem. Time for you to give up the Stephens the Bakers season ticket I think.

All 'B' teams draw each other meaning 2 in Last 16 :unsure:.

Sligo... are they the club who were persuaded to enter after others were ineligible or not interested? Dream potential draw v Livingston 'B', eh...

Is it not the case that they are formed from the Reserves now, including senior players, so could go much further in the tournament? Don't think there's any restriction on the number of seniors - only age limit is 16 and over. So technically they could paly their first team. Aside of the continental teams this'll make it harder for the diddy teams to snatch a trophy against SPL 'Reserves'.

age restrictions were raised from U20 to U21s this year and they can start with 2 overage players I believe.  You could still get a fair few 1st team players if your squad is young enough I suppose.

My favourite thing about this draw is the suggestion that the SPFL and the invited guests who made the draw rigged it in order to have, wait for it, Dundee U21s v Motherwell U21s.

I wasn't being at all serious there.

No age limit according to this.

The Development squads have been scrapped and replaced by the Reserves now.

How do either of those articles relate to the Challenge Cup?

They dont. But dont spoil his agenda.

Honest mistake if it's a mistake. Are the Colts not the U20 Development teams which formed the Development leagues last season, now replaced by the Reserve leagues?
