middleeastdave Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Let's face the league cup needed a change and I think this format will be a refreshing change and please don't think that we are top seeds that we will qualify as I am sure some of the "smaller" sides will be dangerous especially at the start of the season. I take it that the gate money will be shared between the clubs or does the SPFL taking a share of the gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Is the live draw available to those who don't have BT Sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 The League Cup in any format is Our version of what the Europa cup is. I.E. No one bothers till the quarter finals. Starting a tournament in the middle of July is not going to help attract better crowds as most of Scotland is off on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's 21 years since 3 points for a win came in, can't see the bonus point system in the league cup lasting that long. It's not the 1st innovation to be tried in a minor competition though, the older will remember those offside lines from the early 70's. is that when they called it the Dryborough cup ?

Richie Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I assume gates are split? Guaranteed tv game and decent crowd. So at least a bit of cash in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 we'll get fucking humped by those vile cunts. Great start to the season, watching that wanker Barton kicking the shite out of our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 It will probably just so happen that we play them last game of group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 How are the best 4 runners up chosen? Terrible draw in my view but not unexpected - I'm sure the club will be underwhelmed. Didn't realise that there's only 4 games not 8. Presumably BT will decide the home/away games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Aw fuck off. Motherwell Rangers Stranraer East Stirling Annan So we are the first team to feel their 'wrath' after the cup etc. Bunch of cunts. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hopefully get Stranraer and Annan away. h**s will be avoided regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Guaranteed tv game and decent crowd. Not necessarily. It'll depend on whether BT want the game at Ibrox or Fir Park. If at Ibrox it won't be televised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Seemingly the host team are entitled to get 20% of the gross takings and after 5% paid to the SPFL then it is split 50-50 to the two teams involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Not necessarily. It'll depend on whether BT want the game at Ibrox or Fir Park. If at Ibrox it won't be televised. Why wouldn't Ibrox be televised? It's the biggest game of the group stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did no one watch the final? They are shite. They got beat by a team who have fucked up so many times the phrase 'hibsed it' is a bawhair from going in the dictionary. Are we believing Joey Barton knocked back playing in 'the greatest league in the world ' for the challenge of the Scottish premiership? Fuck the people, bring them on! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 You would think that being the number one seed, Rangers would need to travel to Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 keep the faith guys "The Rangers"are average at best we have nothing to fear from that mob bring it on, a great chance to slap them down early doors and set the tone for the season.
