ayrunitedfw Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Am I right in thinking top seeds always play 2nd Seeds at home last game? If so hopefully we also get Stranraer away. Annan away would be decent so no doubt we’ll get Albion Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not far away from it anyway. Worse for you than for us obviously as we had to get another Championship side, you didn't. Of the 4 main seeds I wanted to avoid Kilmarnock probably so at least we did that. The other three were relatively even though I'd rather not face Lyndon Dykes. I'm assuming he'll be gone by then though. To be fair I'd rather have got Morton than either Dunfermline or Ayr. You seem to be more or less in starting again mode like us, though you've got a bigger starting base. In terms of 3 lower division sides, you want to avoid Falkirk and Thistle probably along with big spending Queen's Park ideally. And you probably want to avoid us just because it's another full time Championship side. So that part couldn't really have gone worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Jeez, youtube needs to make it clearer what I'm watching. I've spent the last 15 minutes watching something labelled "LIVE BETFRED CUP GROUP STAGE DRAW" with a running chat stream and just realised I was watching last year's draw.You should really have been able to tell - in last year's draw one of the teams would have been called Heart of Midlothian, and in this year's draw there'd be a Heart of Seethelothian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. When we've been 2nd seeds we've played the top seed away on the 2nd Saturday(3rd Fixture) twice and also the 1st fixture. Never the last game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Can they not balance out the groups s bit more so you don't get three teams from the same bloody league in one group. You're playing these sides 3 times minimum already this season.so surely can't be beyond the powers that be to try and keep them apart a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Groups B-D in the teuchter section underline just how badly lopsided this regional format is right now, as you'd have to seriously underperform to not grab at least one of the best runners-up spots from them as a seeded club. The other should come from Group F so the rest of the teams should be counting on having to win their group to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 1 hour ago, AmericanFan said: For the Premiership sides, what is the incentive to care about this Cup since it has no Europe qualification and is less important than the Scottish Cup? Do some sides play all their backups here? I think that's actually changing this year, top 4 and both cup winners get Europe from what I'd read. Scotland gained an extra European place and there's the new UEFA Conference League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
