BishyTON Posted May 28, 2024 Share Posted May 28, 2024 I think this is a bit different from prior years - pretty sure it was the top 8 in pot 1, next 8 in pot 2 and the rest were all mixed together with 3 allocated to each group. In this competition I just like to get new away grounds ticked off, so 4 that I haven't got would be ideal to guarantee two new ones. If prior fixture arrangements stand then we will be playing Pot 1 away, so Aberdeen please (missed when we played then about a decade ago so still need to tick that one off), Montrose or Cove in Pot 3 (been to Montrose, but not for a Ton game), Edinburgh City or Spartans in Pot 4 and Elgin City/Bonnyrigg Rose/East Kilbride/Buckie Thistle in Pot 5.

bob_the_builder Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Not an exciting draw by any stretch of the imagination but a group that more than winnable if St Johnstone continue to stink the place out next season again here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunning1874 Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Arsehole behaviour from the presenter to read us out as in Aberdeen's group when Pittodrie is the trip we all want. An exceptionally meh draw, but on the plus side at least East Fife can now be attended on the train rather than needing a bus from Kirkcaldy, while St Johnstone are about as easy as it could have been from pot 1.

Ferguson Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Don't mind that at all. Not an exciting draw but you'd be expecting a minimum of 9 points from that to see us through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_M Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Dougie will have a few sleepless nights about facing a Dick Campbell side again. Hopefully St Johnstone stink the place out like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcC1874 Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Never get particularly excited or expect much from these games but that's a decent group and one we should be looking to progress from. If we can make a few bob for extra players then all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONofmemories Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Given we can't rely on a big cup draw as a certainty each season, we really ought to make this a priority to cash in as much as possible. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 Only the best three runners-up advance. It could come down to goal difference. You can imagine Raith, Partick, QP, Airdrie, Dunfermline and ourselves all have an eye on a 9 point minimum. We've got a very advantageous draw but we're not the only ones.

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's draw and state of the squad was better IMO. Not saying that needs to happen right now, but if we're a few players short then Alloa at home and East Fife away are plausible dropped points.
