Were they OK during the game? No roughhouse tactics or carry on from the bench? This seems to have been a major part of their game plan previously. 

Nomads were agricultural in their approach to the physical side of the game but I think their bench kept it fairly respectable. I can't remember anything of note.

Bit generalising to tarnish purely on the clothes somebody wears. I guess if people wore moccasins and sheepskin coats it would impact on their behaviour? Anyone who thinks it’s sound to break seats etc will get what is coming to them but a bit much to be painting with brushes that you know little about...
Not wrong though. Anyone wearing Stone Island (at the fitba) is generally a fanny.

Anyone who wears stone island at any time is a rocket. I didn't realise that was up for debate?

Assuming that Premiership 'B' teams, English 5th tier, Welsh, Northern and Republican Irish teams continue... next season's HL & LL sides will be: Cove Rangers, Brora Rangers, Fraserburgh, East Kilbride, BSC Glasgow and Kelty Hearts. If they still invites 4th places - making them play off v 3rd places to get into the competition proper - Formartine Utd and Spartans also feature.

Must admit this competition has gone from being a decent chance for Scottish lower league sides to possibly pick up a cup to one that is now treated with disinterest by many supporters & some clubs. Doncaster seems to be about the only one that see,s the changes as a great success. It has even got to the stage of interfering with domestic games to allow for other leagues schedules and last even a close season being involved. It may be interesting to see how far down if at all sides from the other countries leagues  want to be involved.

The Welsh Premier League seem to think they'll still be involved for the next couple of seasons:

Quote

The winners of the Nathaniel MG Cup from the 2019/20 season will be awarded a place in the SPFL IRN-BRU Cup for the following campaign as part of a radical shake up of the competition.

[...]

Entry into the IRN-BRU Cup has been well received by Welsh clubs and this move offers an increased number of teams the chance to qualify for the competition.

Should the winners of the Nathaniel MG Cup also win the JDWPL, then the IRN-BRU spot reverts to the League, with the second-placed team in the JDWPL qualifying instead.

Nathaniel MG Cup = Welsh League Cup.  Assume it's to offer "European" football to the winners of that, since at the moment it's just the Welsh Cup winners + league placings that qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Hope the English teams are in. Would love Solihull v Clyde. 

Solihull and Wrexham will be in it as the representatives from the English leagues (should the format continue as it is).

Can they withdraw? Those two, and probably others, could do without the distraction from their league ambitions.

Their not been confirmed yet as taking part. Didn't a couple of ROI sides knock it back this season?

I would agree with you Sarge I would imagine its the last thing top end NL sides want they field weakened sides in their cup ties normally.
