Hank Scorpio Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 We beat Peterhead - a team in our league - at an absolute canter not a week ago. No one was saying “I can see it being a great, great season”. Aw c**t settle the f**k doon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 So thanks to results today, a draw tomorrow will qualify both of us for the next round. Wonder if the teams themselves see it that way... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Neither Dundee nor Caley will be seeded in the last 16, so there's no real motivation to top the group. Dull as ditchwater 0-0 followed by meaningless penalties please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Went up to Balmoral. Good performance from Cove. Three good goals and Glass looks like he'll be a big player for them this season. Just under 800 there, no Dons game and the sunshine helped I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 A Peterhead team without it's better defender and a striker who will be one of the best in the league. Don't kid yourself Hank.

There will always be more chance of a ‘giant killing’ over 1 game than 4 games. The penalty bonus point and the fact that over half of the teams are out in July just kills the interest for me and a lot of fans. You can see the same applies to a lot of managers who use it as a rotation/pre-season tournament. The Portuguese version of the tournament has a group stage much later. " The penalty bonus point and the fact that over half of the teams are out in July just kills the interest for me and a lot of fans " If it is a straight knock out, after one round 50% of teams are out, that is one game they have had. After round two another 25% are out, so I don't get your argument? At least in the league format, teams are guaranteed 4 games and one game doesn't end their hopes. The penalty shoot outs give more entertainment for your money. The truth is that the fans of teams that get put out at the group stage, are just making excuses for their teams poor showing. In all likelihood, their teams interest in the League Cup would still end in July, or whenever the first round date is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time everyone apart from 4 teams do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Seems a bit of a farcical end with Dundee and inverness playing a tame draw to both go through.Very Germany v Austria Spain 82 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 So we all agree that both sides are too inept to manage a ‘convincing’ draw? Can’t wait to see if it’s Meekings or Vincent that ruins it for us both... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 On 26/07/2019 at 12:21, Double Jack D said: I'd keep the league format but ditch the penalties in favour of a bonus point for scoring 4 or more goals. Id also do away with any seeding, either geographical or status. Make it truly random so that there is a real chance of playing different teams. The geographical thing is a curious one - eventually you're going to get the same handful of 1st seeds awaiting you in the draw every season. If there was no North/South divide they could sort out the fixtures by having the longest journeys on the Saturdays. The flipside is that the current system can throw up more local derbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthedee Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Kev isn't going along with this draw pish,hopefully before kick off Mcpake is telling the boys that robbo is a wee fat dab p***k and his team are getting bitch slapped back to the shitty highlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
