Footballfirst Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The draw for the first round takes place at 12:30 on Wednesday and will be streamed by the SPFL on Youtube. Hearts Colts will be in the northern half of the first round draw, and will play against one of the sides from the Highlands or Albion Rovers (someone's geography needs improving as Kelty is a tad further north).

Jarhead Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 ? Looks like for the purposes of this cup Cove are being classed as a Highland League team. 4 Highland teams in north draw and 4 Lowland teams in south draw. Geography seems fine to me ?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch Albion Rovers for Kelty or BSC Glasgow (play out of Alloa) and the draw is balanced. Edited June 25, 2019 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you’re coming from FF as the same question is raised every year regarding the League Cup using seeding based on the previous year. The anomaly in the Irn Bru Cup is that it doesn’t apply to Ross County/Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith, Currie, Ritchie, McDonald Obviously with the league cup game two days later, some will be that selection. But to me, all bar two of that starting XI has had more than 10 senior games. And apart from that two they have played their games above the level of league two. Edited June 26, 2019 by jamboinglasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Order Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 So let me get this right. Hearts and Hibs Colts, both from Edinburgh, are in the North section but Spartans, also Edinburgh, are in the South section and to make it even better Kelty, Fife, are also in the South section. When and how did Edinburgh end up north of Fife???? Scottish Football at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is akin to those who get all upset when the 7th placed team finishes with more points than the 6th place team. 6 colt teams go in the north. 6 colt teams go in the south. Top 4 Highland teams go in the north. Top 4 lowland teams go in the south. The bottom 4 Division 4 teams are evenly split as best as can be. FF has a reasonable point on whether the seeding should be based on this season or last but the way they split up north and south really isn’t that complex.

chester copperpot Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I can walk to Cliftonville from the hoose, so a few pints in big Owen's (pub nearest the ground) then along to the match via a complimentary ticket from the home side.
