League Cup seeded teams

[AraBrian]

The win in Dingwall was massive Brian,three assists from McMullan and a solo pitch invasion from Noah just topped off a famous night for the Dees.

HAHAHA Fair enough to them mate we treally should have scored a few more goals but realise we were trying out young guys and trying to get things ready for league while still trying to qualify so hopefully get them next round

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.

They are not really 6th seed but one of the eight seeded teams guaranteed. If Hearts and St Mirren won by enough they would be 8th seed and we would be unseeded. All the seeding means is the eight seeds are in one pot the other eight teams another and an open draw is then conducted one from each pot per tie. No-one thinks they are suddenly the sixth best team in Scotland.

Yeah cheers mate sort of got it now thought they had just been seeded 6th for some random reason had a few pints but thanks to you guys got it now fair play they got there by default and lets just hope if we don't make top 8 we get them next round.

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.

The last time they were the 6th best team in Scotland they invaded the pitch.If only eh could get as worked up as them.I would have been on that pitch at Dens loads O times and graced Hampden twice.
I suppose it was a fair price to pay,£23,000,000 for a top six finish and a cup final defeat fae your big cousins.

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.

Its only worked against us if Hearts & St Mirren win by enough to push us out of the seeds. Even then as a non seed we could draw Dundee or St Johnstone at home. As a seed we could be drawn away to Motherwell or Livi. Possibly seeding wont make a difference, maybe it will who knows?
