League Cup

[Glenmore Road]

Nothing on the other threads, so...

No "Group of Death" - having five pots does that.

Having #1 & #2 seeds and everyone else in an open draw was more fun.

Thankfully Hibs don't have to take part in this farce.

It's a total pile o shite.

It's a total pile o shite.

...as many St.Mirren fans commented when losing on penalty kicks to Arbroath in their opener last July.

I prefer the groups to straight knock-out ties that were scarcely any better attended. For those who fancy a day out in decent weather, a couple of July trips to the likes of Elgin, Annan or Brechin beats going there in January rain for a Scottish Cup tie.

As for the League Cup overall, we've won four trophies in my lifetime. Can't be a lot shorter than even money that I'll see another one. Without the League Cup, 2016 would be our only one. Next spring, it'll be 75 years since the last League Championship win.
I think "The Tornadoes Team" are always listed as that same XI because it was the line-up that beat Celtic in the League Cup Final.

I'd likely still rather win it again and finish 7th than finish 3rd and go out of both cups & Europe early, but I suppose finances dictate that 3rd place & UEFA money would be preferable to a League Cup win these days.

Was it not roughly the same team that played all season?

I can recite it (and the subs) without thinking (not thinking being a talent I have honed over the years) but I'd have to think a bit before naming another Hibs Cup Winning team.


Not that there's many.

Played together 21 times I think.
