Kind of wish we had been relegated now...

This would have been great fun:

This is the competition that could give us that classic football encounter:-

Keith v Barry

Believe it or not there are some cracking cup ties in this competition, and most team's fans travel in decent numbers to away games outwith their own country. Linfield brought well over 1,000 to Queen of the South last season (my local professional club)


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

This is just a backdoor attempt by the evil SFL to introduce English and Irish clubs into the Scottish leagues, Jock should vote with his feet and not attend any of these games

I don't think that the SPL teams compete in this cup do they?

The article mentioned SPL 'Colt' teams (under 20s). So not dissimilar to the Checkatwat.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That's a good Scottish-English word. I was introduced to that years ago by an Endinburger (whatever the correct term is). I enjoyed using it for a while just to see the look of bemusement on people's faces.
