We've had Peterhead once before in this competition in the current format (2019/20). Cowdenbeath and Raith are the sides we have faced with alarming frequency. The whole competition is garbage now and weighted heavily in favour of a top few sides in the Premiership. Between this and the way the Challenge Cup has been treated the SPFL have a lot to answer for with regards to the gradual decay of the cup competitions in this country.

I haven't seen anything confirming player departures. I wonder if they are trying to conclude contract talks with some players before announcing anything.
-
May as well do next years one while I am at it.
-
Hearts and Cove Rangers drawn in the same group as us for 3 of the last 4 seasons. How incredibly boring.
-
After being released by us Brad Mckay has pitched up at Falkirk.
-
Here are our possible opponents: One from the North 1st Seeds - Dundee United, Hearts, Livingston or Ross County Three from the North Unseeded sides - Alloa, Brechin, Brora, Cove Rangers, Cowdenbeath, East Fife, Elgin City, Forfar Athletic, Kelty Hearts, Montrose, Peterhead or Stirling Albion.
-
The fact that Davidson has to go on some course suggests that there were racial undertones to whatever charge he faced yet the number of games he has been banned for seems light for such a charge.
-
I think he would do a job for us though we need a good 10 to play behind him. I suspect he will be on the radar of other Championship clubs (maybe even some sides down in England) but if he is pretty settled up in this area maybe we could eek another year out of him before he heads south permanently.
-
The rubbish about second chances doesn't exactly work either given he's had other jobs since then. It's an utterly tone deaf appointment. If ICT had done this there's no chance I would be attending any game with him as manager.
-
It's a shocking appointment from Ross County who only a few days ago were preaching their usual birthday card pish about wanting to discover they are and how they are a valued community club. Then they go and appoint a guy who sent racist, sexist and homophobic messages and tried to dismiss it as "friendly text message banter" before ultimately having to apologise "for any offence caused". What on earth is MacGregor thinking?
-
We can't get drawn with Dundee as they will be a Northern second seed as well (if what I have read is correct).
-
Around the 1 hour 45 minute (!) mark of the latest Wyness Shuffle pod we flag up some serious and some not so serious names for next season. Link in signature. My not so serious suggestion was Shinniesta who was released by Charlton. We could do with a number ten to play behind the striker. Could Polly fancy a return to ICT? And Marley Watkins was recently released...

It took about 10 minutes to pull together whilst I was eating my Coco Pops.
-
These are the sides we have faced in recent years with ties against Raith Rovers and Cowdenbeath being a recurring feature it seems. Not sure what sides are in what half of the draw but hopefully a little variety at the very least would be good. ETA: The "North" Group 1 seeds are Livingston, Dundee United, Ross County and Hearts so we will get one of them. The other "North" Group 2 seeds, of which we are one, are Dundee, Raith Rovers, and Arbroath so we won't be drawn against any of those sides.
-
Unbelievably they have appointed MM. Absolutely mind boggling.
-
He's going to Alloa.
-
He's probably still listed as an ICT player until his registration moves to Hibs which, I would guess, is the end of this month or the start of next month.
-
Just the usual list of folk kicking about Scottish football at the moment. Some of the names aren't feasible. Darren Young just signed a two year extension to his contract at East Fife so he's not coming in and Liam Fox has gone to Hibs only in the last few days as a coach. Unless we fork out cash for these guys they aren't a starter.
-
Gaining two with Hamilton already down and Killie, as mentioned above, looking set to join them.
-
Appreciate the kind words folks although I did have to check the meaning of "indefatigable"...
-
Oh hello. It's been a while and now the season is over TWS chaps have recorded an end of season pod for you all. We have interviews with Scot Gardiner, Sean Welsh and Neil McCann, we dissect the past season, discuss the possible new managers for ICT and draw up a shortlist of possible transfers targets for whoever takes charge and, finally, we put the final nail in the coffin of the ICT Nightmare XI.
-
I'd imagine it's highly unlikely. He's been well backed and not delivered so time for him to move on and for them to try someone new.
-
McCann recently turned down Falkirk because he has other things on. I'd be surprised if he would contemplate a return to ICT.
-
...to become the new Sporting Director The club is now looking for a new Head Coach...
-
Probably Robbo offering Danny another lift but holding him hostage at Fort George saying he's not allowed to go.
