Cancellara Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The so called minnows actually use the Ardagh cup as good income to pay players signing on fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShahktarYerMaw Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 To you this may seem old, as you only starting following Talbot less than that so I can see where your view comes from. Kenny, what team do you support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthelie' Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 8 hours ago, Hillonearth said: For me, it's down to the fact that the sections have become so predictable - I know a lot of it is down to geography, but the same teams can only play each other so many times before it gets old. The Sectional only really serves a purpose to keep half-forgotten semi-local derbies on the calendar if the sides find themselves in different divisions. Before a ball's kicked most people have got a fair idea who's going to win five or six of the eight sections as well, which leads to the other sides in each group taking it less than seriously and as an extension to preseason...supporters also have got bored with the current format going by a lot of the attendances. It's just one of those competitions which has run its course in its current format. It heats up a bit once you get to the usual suspects in the quarter finals, but that's about it. Spot on. For me, it has even taken the edge off the lie - lok games, as we're playing against each other 3 times minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshed Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 At the end of the day , no player pulls on a shirt to lose , whether that be a friendly , the ardagh or central version of it , as soon as that first whistle has been blown it's game on and let's win this . I don't see referees getting an easy time of it after a mistake as " it's only the ardagh cup " Football is football , as soon as kick off is reached then it's let's win lads , ive never saw any player acting as though they don't care .You play to win in every single game .

eehheematin Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Think this should just go straight into a head to head knockout rather than the mini league format.Roy won this last season and even though it may not have been that big a deal in the league stages...ask any player Rob Roy or Shettleston player playing in the final and they will tell you it ment a heck of a lot to them.

Shanner Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Love them, hate them or not arsed either way about these cups, starting them on a Wednesday night in competition with Champions league Qualifiers on the Telly is a stroke of marketing genius.

omar Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just a heads up that it seems - according to the SJFA site - that the following kick off times are not the standard 6:45pm tonight: Petershill (7:30pm) Port Glasgow (7:15pm) Renfrew (7:30pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Always a place in my heart for the league cup. Our 1977 win ended 26 years of hurt and started 40 years of domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Oh well - it's the start of the season, it's a Wednesday night and it's pishing down.
