With seeding and byes the League Cup is harder to win than the Scottish Cup as you'll always have a minimum of 1 of them to beat. Odds on us beating them both in their own back yard are surely way higher than 7/1!?!? 1st game with my Dad in ages tonight, he clearly hasn't adjusted his expectations in line with the current standard of Scottish football lol! 🙂 Not according to Kenny Miller, he says this is the draw everyone wants. I know morons like him will blindly assume everyone wants to see the OF in a final but what pisses me off is nobody challenging this nonsense on live TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 As predicted, 3 teams from the south west and the team from the north east has to travel on a Sunday.  They don’t even try to hide these things nowadays, it’s a fucking disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Sorry Dons but I'm delighted with Saturday 5:30 ko. A few swallies in Glasgow before and after, probably to numb the pain but you never know.... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres bo reason for this game to be on the Sunday. Both games will be on the TV so broadcasters will get their OF fill. Also when it comes to tickets the default should be 50/50 split with the tickets for the smaller team being released in stages with time deadlines so that if they arent sold they can get moved to the bigger team to sell. This would lnt br hard to do. Give Aberdeen a stand behind the goals. Keep half the north and south stands empty, give them X amount of time to sell, if they then release a batch of north and south stand tickets closest to the aberdeen fans. If they dont sell then release the sections of the north and south closest to the rangers fans. Repeat until the gap closes and theres a full house. A totally fair and practical way to do it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams vote for wankers like Doncaster, the teams vote for the spfl board. The problem is the teams in this league are bunch of self serving, short sighted wankers. Id hoped cormack would be different but he's just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even something simple as giving very basic interviews etc, just make lots of little things more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Stewart Milne is / was No Aberdeen fan I know was happy with that, and he was told so at the time It's been well documented on here by the Sheep that that absolutely is the case I've no idea why it's continuously brought up as a stick to beat us with when we all agree  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's obvious, and wrong I think we're done on this if the infantile suggestion is bringing Ramy into the equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
