vikingTON Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 With your powers of premonition can you tell me if its going to 0-0 against Montrose grim? If so, I'll not bother going. No idea what you're talking about champ, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well it was an effortless step towards our progression as one of the big teams of the competition. Unlike yourselves hotshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 What a fantastic concept. Before there was at best two opportunities to pish yourself laughing at failed teams: now there's been five full game days of fail. Then Dundee, Raith, Kilmarnock and the spoon-burners manage to get turfed out within the space of ten minutes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Like most I've been in neither the "rather like it" nor the "do not like it" camp. It's been OK, fine, I haven't minded it is probably the general feeling. One disappointment is that it is hard for part-time clubs to progress, and next season I'd rather Berwick used it more like pre-season as the chances are quite slim... That said I was pleased that, despite being seeded up to the hilt, two "smaller" clubs made it through in Peterhead and Alloa. Crowds were not particularly great in competitive terms - but in comparison to friendlies they were clearly better. I'm not a fan of the penalty bonus thing but it's clearly been a novelty for some. It was almost immaterial in practical terms - changed nothing except Peterhead qualifying not Dundee. Looking to next year... I would like them to let all the runners-up qualify and contest a play-off round, and I would not be in favour of them allowing triallists or adding extra substitutes.

vikingTON Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A play-off round is an utterly shan idea and would require a bigger gap between the current group stage and the last 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mps02 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I quite like it. Certainly beats the usual one game and you are out. The penalties have a novelty value but, if you take Ayrs group' we could have gone out having won three games and only lost in injury time against St Minging. Perhaps a play off for second placed teams? Dunno, but overall o have enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play offs at end of the season only have 3 or 4 days notice between end of league and between semi and finals. Teams would know going into final matchday possibility they may finish 2nd and plan accordingly for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I like it it's better than pre season. Smaller clubs can test themselves against higher opposition. I like the penalty bonus point. Yeah not bad a good thing for Scottish football.Could those who have said it's shite give reasons rather than just stating that it's shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
