League Cup seeded teams

[GUNBOAT]

Because they won their group with the most points and best goal difference, albeit they were awarded a 3-0 win vs Ross County.

Yes that narrow win v East Fife may come back to haunt us,we had every opportunity to score more that night but to be fair after winning 4 out of 4 i thought we were certain to be seeded,FACT.

Maybe this was having a go at him?.

Ok got it that makes sense bit of luck with the ross game but fair enough I would take it. Really we could have done better if we were not trying out young lads but got to hope we draw them in next round they are by far the weakest link in the seeded teams.

Teams who will be seeded in the League Cup Draw

1 The Rangers
2 Celtic
3 Hibs
4 Sheep
5 Fermers
6 Fun
7.....
8......

Hertz if they beat Icey Tea by 2
St Mirren if they beat Plastic Whistle by more than 2 or 3-1. (2-0 means tie with United)

Dundee United if Hertz or St Mirren fail to hit their target

2-0 St Mirren would put them above us as well as 3-1 or more. The tiebreakers are GD, then goals scored, then away goals scored.

It really is unfair. As you say Brian, teams are trying out kids, different formations, fringe players etc etc. Basically pre season games but also a national cup competition. We keep hearing about teams down south devaluing the league cup by playing weakened teams but our very own SPFL are devaluing their own cup competition by having it played pre-season.

In a way mate I kind of like it I have always thought friendlies are a waste of time.Like the league cup sections as really we should although don't always qualify and gives players good game time but not so hard a premier class kind of easy way into league matchs.It's kind of up to each team how serious they take it but should help tam seeing players in compeditive matchs.On the other hand agree with you we are devaluing the cup by playing weakened teams so am kind of split on it.

I like the group format in July, just not a fan of the way they have been handing out 3-0 wins, very unfair on other teams, 1-0 is enough in this kind of format

Know what you mean but has always been a 3-0 for teams not fulfilling their obligations worked against us this time but these are the breaks.

The Dees have suffered their own Covid outbreak but it was a Billy Gilmour one where only a couple were close contacts.Ross County were not so lucky though and were out of the League Cup before a Ba was kicked.

Know it's sh.t mate but they have to work it some way ross were unlucky diddlies lucky just the way the cookie crumbles this time.Maybe also the diddlies took a bit more care about players mixing or just good luck.
