West Jambo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thursday 2:30pm Seeded: Celtic, Aberdeen, Inverness CT, St. Johnstone, Dundee Utd, Ross County, Motherwell, Kilmarnock Unseeded: Hearts, Raith Rovers, Dunfermline, Morton, Falkirk, Livingston, Rangers/Airdie, Hibs/Stranraer. Kilmarnock at home for me please. Ugly sisters to get each other and if Hibs squeeze through then a trip to Dingwall for them. That'd do nicely.

oh ah grantona Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just if motherwell fell last night we could have been seeded. Ideal draw is anyone of the 4 seeds we have played already at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaObua Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ahhh the good old league cup draw, made in the deepest darkest cupboard in a bunker underneath SFA headquarters. Don't think the games are on TV so guessing the big teams will escape each other until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo85 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Surley we can avoid Celtic this time. Its becoming ridiculous how often we get drawn against them. Also its a joke how we are unseeded. I know its the rules becuase we are the team that were just promoted from the Champuionship but we won the Championship by 21 points last season and are top of the Premiership.

Prince Buaben Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No, we wont. You can virtually guarantee the OF will get drawn together. That will be kept for later on.

Victor Meldrew Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Of course, we'll be the unseeded team that no-one wants to draw at the moment. I don't think we should fear anyone.

Homme Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The question is, now that we will face a 'big' team, will we now play a strong line up in order to progress or will Robbie continue to use the competition to give fringe players time? I don't think the starting line up last night has the potential to go any further in the competition. Our full strength team could win the thing.

jambo mark Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Absolute joke having seeded and unseeded. Pretty much ensures that the Premiership teams will always progress and a championship/div1-2 side will never progress with a 'lucky cup run' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot will depend on when the next round is and who play play in the following game. We may have a few more injuries and I think Robbie will want his strongest side for the league games.

Lambo85 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I still don't see him playing our 'strongest' team. It depends if anyone is carrying any knocks. He says he is serious about winning the cup this year. If he plays a team like he did last night then he is obviously not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavydavy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 How do the seedings work for drawing home/away ties? It's a good question, the first few teams finished in the top six so would imagine that had something to do with it although why Motherwell, Ross Co and Killie are seeded I have no idea other than the fact they were in the SPL. Just answered my own questions below. Here is what the rules say on Wikipedia. The competition is open only to the 42 clubs who compete in the SPFL. There are no replays, so all matches ending in a draw after 90 minutes are decided by extra time and, if necessary, penalty kicks. The four teams who, based on results of the previous season, have qualified for UEFA competitions are given a bye until the third round of competition, together with the highest placed Premiership finisher not in UEFA competitions. The seven other teams in the Premiership in the previous season receive a bye into the second round. The 29 teams from the lower three divisions and the team promoted to the SPFL Premiership are seeded based on the previous year's league positions and begin play from the first round. They are drawn into pairs (one seeded and one unseeded) with the games played at the stadium of the first team drawn. (The draw is set up to ensure that a seeded team at home in the first tie is followed by an unseeded team at home in the second, and so on) The 15 teams advancing from the first round are drawn together in the second round with the seven teams receiving a bye. The eleven teams who advance from the second round are joined by the final five teams in the third round, with seeding in place. The remaining rounds of competition are unseeded. The semi-final matches are played on a neutral ground, determined by the location and size of supports involved. The final game is traditionally played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, though due to renovations some finals have been played at other venues, such as Celtic Park or Ibrox.

GforGallo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 How do the seedings work for drawing home/away ties? First team drawn (seeded) at home V Second team drawn (unseeded) away. Third team drawn (unseeded) at home v Fourth team (seeded) away. Repeat. Is my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why the ?&@? is the draw seeded!! Another thing that needs expelled from football altogether! Exactly. The English LC is unseeded and has pulled out some cracking ties. Spurs v Arsenal, Villa v Birmingham, Leicester v West Ham Generates a bit more interest in the earlier rounds and also give a chance of smaller clubs progressing if they got a decent draw.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We play this game in between Aberdeen and Celtic league matches so drawing either is not a fantastic situation. Robbie is going to have to make some tough calls whoever we play. Away to Ross County or Inverness would also be appalling preparation. Could use some luck here or play the young boys again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
