AyrshireTon 456 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Betfred Cup group draw being made on Monday at 1pm. Still to announce the pots - feel free to speculate. https://spfl.co.uk/news/date-set-for-betfred-cup-draw-46835 McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites
dunning1874 1532 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It's unclear whether they'll put Kelty into the South pot because Lowland League team so automatically in the South, or whether they'll put them in the North and Cowdenbeath in the South. Bearing in mind that possible switch and also assuming they persist with the absolute fucking nonsense of seeding the team who finished the previous season 12th in the Premiership in Pot 1 with the 1st in the Championship in Pot 2, these are the likely pots: North Pot 1: St Johnstone, Hibs, Ross County, Hearts Pot 2: Dundee United, ICT, Dundee, Arbroath Unseeded: Raith, Montrose, East Fife, Peterhead, Forfar, Cove, Elgin, Cowdenbeath, Stirling Albion, Stenhousemuir, Brechin, Brora South Pot 1: Livingston, Kilmarnock, St Mirren, Hamilton Pot 2: Ayr, Dunfermline, Greenock Morton, Alloa Unseeded: Queen of the South, Partick, Falkirk, Airdrie, Dumbarton, Clyde, Stranraer, Edinburgh City, Queen's Park, Annan, Albion Rovers, Kelty Normally I'd be looking at that sadly due to the very few good away games available - Stranraer, Annan & Kelty are the only good days out there - but with the small likelihood of attending games anyway just give us Falkirk, Queen's Park and Kelty for maximum snake bashing. In the unlikely event away fans can attend and we get Kelty away all the better. I'd expect every Pot 1 team to steamroller the others due to actually having match fitness built up so could do without a pumping from St Mirren tbh. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake Link to post Share on other sites
Woody66 45 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'd imagine Kelty will be in the North section with Stenny in the South. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BishyTON 8 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Given we are almost certainly not going to be able to attend the games, give us the easiest draw possible imo. So that would be Livi, Stranraer, Annan and Albon Rovers. 1 Mon the Ton Link to post Share on other sites

I’m struggling to imagine anyone being allowed at games for the rest of this year, so might as well take the easiest, most unglamorous route. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh aye, course it would be Stenny going South rather than Cowdenbeath!

AyrshireTon 456 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Top seeds - Livi, Killie, St. Mirren, Hamilton 2nd seeds - Ayr, Dunfermline, Morton, Alloa Dross - Qos, Partick, Falkirk, Airdrie, Dumbarton, Clyde, Stranraer, Edinburgh City, Queen’s Park, Annan, Stenny, Albion Rovers.

vikingTON 3414 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 11 full time clubs in our section as opposed to eight in the teuchter one, so the SPFL naturally put both non-league permadiddies - including the entrant from the Lowland League - in the teuchter section as well. What is the point of having a 'geographical' cup format that will likely give other Championship clubs like Dundee an objectively much easier path to the latter stages and therefore more prize money than ourselves? The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to post Share on other sites

BishyTON 8 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 What a horrible draw that was for us. Limited scope for progression given Midden should romp it as they are match fit and the others will all take points off each other. Mon the Ton Link to post Share on other sites
dunning1874 1532 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Pretty much the hardest draw possible and doesn't even come with the consolation of getting to hound Raymond in person.

GiGi 1140 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 We could finish bottom of that group. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to post Share on other sites
Madton 256 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 St Mirren will be away wont it, hopefully away to QP so we can go and social distance at Hampden! All in with a Doyle Brunson Link to post Share on other sites

vikingTON 3414 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Saint Johnstone, Dundee United, Peterhead, Brechin, Kelty - nine points no bother for the top two teams if they are even remotely interested. Hibs, Dundee, Forfar, Brora, Cove - same as above. Ross County, Arbroath, Elgin, Stirling, Montrose - yet another cakewalk for the village Premiership side and as good as could be expected for Arbroath as well. There's really next to no point in us taking this competition seriously while the format produces such utter joke groups in the opposite region on a regular basis. That's three of the four best runners-up spots that look as good as sealed already and the Little People also got three cannon-fodder outfits in our region conveniently put into their stupid group along with Hamilton, so the fourth will probably come from that. Our only prospect of going through will be to win the group, whereas if we had been 'Ullapool Morton' instead then we'd get through with a +45 GD after drawing Fort William and an Orkney Select.
