No_Problemo Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Just now, Skyline Drifter said: Rangers are entering a B team and the rules of the competition allow them to recall players to play in it (they could in theory have recalled James Maxwell to play against you). Ayr United are a first team in context of this competition even if they chose to play a shadow side. You can't play players who are out on loan to other clubs in it. There's little doubt you'll be thrown out here. There are formalities to go through but it will be an expulsion. I know, it was a general point in terms of the shambolic rule bending for the colts. Given it having no effect on the game, expulsion would be hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Whether it has an effect on the game is irrelevant. You can't play players who aren't allowed to play. We were stung by it earlier in the season too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Ayr have done that deliberately and nobody will convince me otherwise. Fair play. It’s what I’ve wanted the Rovers to do for years - win the game, throw on an ineligible player, get kicked out of a pointless tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Utterly bizarre that different rules apply to teams in this competition depending whether they are the 1st team or B team.. Good luck to Alloa in the next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't play players who aren't allowed to play. We were stung by it earlier in the season too. Ayr once played a suspended player against Livingston in the League Cup, who proceeded to score twice. Instead of being expelled from the competition, a fine was issued. We went on to beat Killie in the next round and then played at Ibrox. The £12k paid out was easily recouped. That isn't going to happen here though. We'll be punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 That’s a fucking minter from the club. Really disappointing as we had a good chance of making at least the semis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The ‘B’ teams were also allowed to not take part if they didn’t fancy it without any punishment, which certainly wouldn’t have been the case had a real club tried it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do get chucked out (and I don’t see a scenario where we don’t) you’d like to think the club will arrange refunds for the fans who attended although that could be problematic as I think they just bought the tickets through Rangers website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Skyline Drifter said: EDIT - Although bizarrely Livingston weren't expelled when they fielded a suspended player in a tie in Ireland 2 or 3 years ago and got to replay it so who knows? The Reverend Ian Paisley and the Confederation of Loyal British Police Officers And Their Big Scary Dugs know. Anyway, it's an amateur mistake but considering the obvious upheaval and that surely nobody at the club gave the remotest f**k by the end of the Hopkin era it's forgiveable. When der *** win they can put it in their fake wee trophy cabinet along with all the other trophies they didn't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I did wonder how we were able to play Jeanes when he was out on loan but never gave it much thought. Really not that arsed about getting kicked out although it really doesn’t make the club look professional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Don't care about the cup much. Though if we are to take positives, it's good those boys got their competitive debuts. Though rubbish it be under these shitey circumstances. Must mean a lot for a young boy to appear for their senior team, no matter how brief or who the opposition is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 It makes no sense for different rules to apply to teams in the same competition. Can't see any way for them to justify that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
