The Master Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This is one of the most bonkers draws I've ever seen. Even FIFA and UEFA would reject this format as being too barmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm done trying to keep up with this. I assumed West Ham and Newport would be automatically assigned away ties. None of the sort. Newport vs Leeds will have to be flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah, they should have just drawn West Ham and Newport away automatically. A shame, as Newport vs Leeds feels like a good cup tie. Leeds vs Newport, not so much. As for us, home to Wigan. Boring but winnable. I'll take that, and at least we get our free season ticket cup game which was denied us last year by getting knocked out of both cups without playing a home game.

Could have sworn they said the red balls were away for the first few ties. Just checked back as I wasn't really watching. Yep they cocked it up! Said red was home when explaining things then seconds later started the draw and immediately said red was away. The first few ties went through as that until someone told them they'd fucked up and they started doing red at home. You could tell the host guy twigged something was wrong after a couple of games and there was much looking off camera from him and then the others as it clicked with them too. Total farce. The first few ties should actually be reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 They fucked up the First Round draw, too!http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/charlton-drawn-twice-in-botched-efl-cup-draw-a7793341.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The whole thing was a shambles. No need for it to be seeded or sectioned(well perhaps organisers) with choice of home or away. Keep it simple & stick to a normal draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40895331 Diplomatic summary from the BBC. The first four ties have indeed been reversed to where they should have been played until they were Salakod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Obviously hiding it at a silly time so they can destroy footage of the inevitable f**k ups before anyone realises. I'm staying up to watch it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Fair play to Carabao. Probably quite a clever ploy by an energy drinks company to force everyone to stay up late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
