Spyro Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 2 minutes ago, peternapper said: Have always said no B Teams should be involved if they need more teams increase entrys from the HFL & LL That will never happen. Remember that these B-teams (according to the SFA) are the only reason this puney little Cup is still alive. What chance does the cup have without the 2 famous names being involved in some way... If am being serious for a minute, if lower league club aren't taking the challenge Cup seriously themselves, they've only got themselves to blame when the SFA try something different. What's the point in offering a cup competition for the lower league sides if some clubs aren't even playing their strongest squads for it. The lack of interest adversely affects the attendances and value of the cup in the eyes of any potential sponsor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 My son was getting his hair cut by a League 2 player/barber, and he said that most players in L2/LL despise the B teams too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Draw today. Would love a trip to TNS for the QF, with Morton or Arbroath away in the SF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just love the prospect of two visits to Cappielow and another away game in this marvelous cup competition ( assuming that we beat, apparently our big team). Being a hypocrite I'll reverse my dislike of the colts inclusion and go to the delayed game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not even in a league now. Had the Alloa game moved due to international call ups but expect a part time team to play the tie mid-week which means mucking up their training & have players do a days work before playing a full time team that have all day to prepare. Hopefully Airdrie take care of them but if not members of a qualifying league they should not get a place in the comp Us diddy clubs need to know our place Edited October 21, 2023 by EdinburghBlue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hamilton charging £20 for a Challenge Cup tie feels pretty wild. I’ve loads on that weekend but was still going to head through, but think I’ll pass at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDD Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 https://www.airdriefc.com/dtv23-24/231107 Two challenge cup ties for Airdrie, two cracking freekicks from Rhys McCabe. Sumptuous. A number of good goals last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good to end the involvement of the B teams, although the game was at one stage a lot closer than I'd like. No point having an analysis as the game was finished by another sumptuous Rhys McCabe free kick. I can't remember him scoring from open play, but more of this Please. The pre match Bovril lacked enough beefy flavour but it was at least hot. Back to Cappielow for a different kind of challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Did Rangers B manage to field a team of international stars that were not going to be available for the original date? and still get beat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve loads on that weekend but was still going to head through, but think I’ll pass at that. The club probably think with Raith being on good form they will bring a reasonable enough support they can justify charging this and the last Friday night game we played had a slight spike in attendance. Still agree it’s unreasonable. However it’s more of a disgrace they are charging £20 to watch us play a team we’ll already play 4 times this season in Kelty the following week in the Scottish Cup. So for me I’ll probably only go to one of them that being the Raith game since there’s a bit more intrigue for me to see how this team do against a good championship team.
