Really good article describing why this revamped competition is pretty garbage. http://terracepodcast.net/the-many-problems-with-the-new-challenge-cup-format/
-
Absolutely mind boggling that they would just assume that the old setup would apply this season. Surely, if it was this important to Partick, they would have picked up the phone to chat with the SPFL rather than just assume it would all be as it once was especially given the apparent importance to their budgeting.
-
Partick managed fine the last few seasons without games against Rangers and Celtic. Disappointing for them to come out and basically say "We need the blue and green pound to survive."
-
Clyde away, 2003/04 title 'decider' at Broadwood with Hissy scoring the crucial second in a 2- 1 win.
-
He's an excellent player when he can be arsed. Thing is, he isn't consistent enough week in week out. There's a lot of talent there no doubt but a lot of the time he doesn't apply himself very well. If Richie could get him to somehow knuckle down and make him more consistent we'd have a cracking player but there's a reason why both Partick and Killie have let the guy go.
-
We did offer Danny Devine a contract mind. Still, another interesting signing. Young attacking player. If he knuckles down up here, turns in some good performances he could win himself a good deal back down south. This is likely what we will be selling these guys on. Fingers crossed he's a success.
-
Yeah it'll almost always be Non Old Frim Team v One of the OF teams for TV but we just don't know. Anyway, away to Partick first up followed by a Highland Derby in Inverness the week after.
-
Hopefully the fixtures also include the first lot of games selected for TV coverage as well so we don't need to wait even longer before sorting out travel to games.
-
Devine has signed for Partick
-
Mutumbo and Ryan Williams officially away as well.
-
Wait, are you genuinely suggesting that it would have been better to retain Hughes in that situation? His position had become utterly untenable.
-
Maybe one more midweek friendly before the League Cup kicks off? Not sure we'd be looking to play friendlies in June but I could be totally wrong especially given I have no 'evidence' to support that notion!
-
Yup. Based on what Raven says Hughes wanted him out long ago. He continuously falls out with players and seems to frequently stoke up grudges with players. Whilst it's of course not unusual for players and managers to fall out it does seem strange that Hughes has done this at pretty much every club he has managed. He just doesn't learn.
-
When a manager falls out with a player or players then either the player or the manager have to go. a bit different if the manager falls out with the supporters. Only one camp is going to be exiting the scene then.

http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/David-Ravens-relief-as-Yogis-departure-prompted-new-Caley-Thistle-contract-09062016.htm Some interesting comments from Raven there...
-
Mutumbo - silence. Roberts - silence although apparently the club did have a one year option on him. Whatever that means. Devine - apparently offered a contract. Nothing signed. Rumoured to be attracting interest from Colchester (?) Williams - story in the Courier or P & J suggesting that he might be offered a deal by Foran. Nothing more on that.
-
Motherwell are rumoured to have offered him a deal but apparently he is back in France deciding what to do.
-
Looks like the revamped League Cup has really captured the attention of ICT fans
-
Sat 16 July Cowdenbeath v ICT 15:00 Sat 23 July ICT v Dundee United 15:00 Tues 26 July Dunfermline v ICT 19:45 Sun 31 July ICT v Arbroath 15:00 No TV games for us. Shockingly, every Rangers game is on BT Sport.
-
I think I've renewed mine. I elected to pay by finance and I've received an email with the credit agreement attached but when I completed my order I think it's just charged me the £299.50 out right bypassing the fact that I wanted to pay by finance. Anyone any idea if I've cocked this up? Yes is the likely answer.... EDIT: Sent the club an email and got a phone call back just over 10 minutes later confirming that I hadn't cocked it up. Great customer service!
-
I agree. I think he's a good coach. Some significant chinks in his armour as a manager though as Hibs have found out in the past when he fell out with Petrie and a lot of the players. Just like he did at Falkirk and just like he did at ICT. It's been mentioned before but Houston has already said that the Falkirk job is almost certainly his last gig in football. What about Latapy? Actually, why do we care? Diddy lower league outfit that they are...
-
Hopefully they also confirm the first tranche of fixtures for TV at the same time so people can start arranging travel for the games rather than have to wait another few weeks for Sky and BT to decide what Rangers and Celtic games they want to show. Also, we should be getting the League Cup fixtures this week as well.
-
I wonder if Devine is considering whether he wants to stay now that Raven is back. You'd imagine that Foran would also want to play with a CB pairing of Meekings and Warren thus relegating Devine to a sub at a time he will be wanting to play week in week out so he might decide to explore pastures new. Still hoping that Roberts will be retained although the rumour suggests that this won't happen.
-
Definitely caleyboy
-
Latapy for Hibs?
