I'm sick to the back teeth of us being losers. Sick to the back teeth. I would expect us to get 7 in a single game v a bunch of part timers.

Probably fairer than any other way and even more so as you can't change the rules mid-competition* * unless you fancy demoting a sacrificial lamb in the midst of a pandemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db211833 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Seedings in a diddy cup where some teams will play a maximum of 4 games to win it. Absolute nonsense, it should just be an open open draw. But then I'm not a fan ofor seeding in any competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These group stages come so early on they often see tighter score lines and even upsets that probably wouldn’t happen later in the season, not just involving us. You are right though imo, wins against the minnows we’ve been playing prove next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think we know what this board would look like if we had lost these games, or even one of them, given whet it looks like after 3 very comfortable wins. A disaster if we lose and meaningless if we win seems to be the Phoodle lot's mantra. I mean, look how they acted after we lost a genuinely meaningless friendly!

It’s always disappointing to lose against part time teams but if you look at the performances in last seasons groups compared to the league opener against Dundee it probably shows what I’m trying to say.

I would expect us to get 7 in a single game v a bunch of part timers. Get real - winning by 7 is very rare in a football match, even if the teams are a couple of leagues apart. Three months ago the best two teams in Scotland played cup matches at home against 3rd tier opponents: Rangers 4 Cove 0 Celtic 3 Falkirk 0 Also Hibs beat QotS 3-1 and Aberdeen squeezed past Dumbarton 1-0. The main thing is we've made a whole lot of chances in all 3 group games, and on another day could have won each of them by at least 4 or 5. And we haven't conceded (which is something losers do).

Any win in which we score 2 or more goals will definitely see us seeded. A 1-0 win would be good enough if St Mirren fail to beat Patrick by more than 1 goal or Dundee drop points against Forfar. There are probably now scenarios where we could fail to win and still be seeded but can't be bothered working them out, we'll know by kick-off.
