NeoGeo7 10,547 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Surely the early rounds will act as a warm up for the league. He'll want the team to gel and it's better to do that in petrofac cup than against St Mirren at ibrox for league day 1.Whether it's youths or not will largely depend on who we sign between now and then and whether the remnants of the first team squad are up to warburtons standards.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,510 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 With a small group of first team players that will be around 24 in number i'd prefer we concentrated on competitions that really mattered. Isn't worth the risk of first team players picking up injuries against diddy teams. Play the younger players whenever we aren't up against one of the larger clubs/in the early rounds to give them a chance to impress I say.

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Always on a hiding to nothing with this cup, critisied if we lose and apathy if we win. Play the youth team, at least ot is a good development exercise that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be our last ever chance to win it. I'd be devastated if we never won it tbh, just for the fact we'll never gettin chance again.I agree. I think this trophy is more important than the league cup this year. Was not one of the main points we were all happy dropping to the 3rd division was so we could become the first team to win every trophy in our country?A lot of people seem to have forgotten that.

We should win everything.I'm not saying we shouldn't try and win it. Of course we should!I just wouldn't risk a full first team against shitey wee teams in the early rounds for what is essentially a diddy cup that we won't make much from financially.

But it has been 3 years we have tried to win it, and if we win it and the championship this year, then we will be the first club in the world to ever win every competition available. That is what our club is all about - winning EVERYTHING. If we don't win these two trophies this time round, then what has been the point of the last 3 years?

Aye, one trophy, a diddy trophy, but a must win trophy. It will be embarrassing if we fail at it 4 times in a row. That trophy must be won this year.

IanFerguson2013 397 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 One of the few good things about where we are next year is that we get another chance to win this bloody trophy. It would be a unique and quirky statistic for a top club to have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,279 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I really couldn't give a fuck about this cup and to be perfectly honest, I'm actually embarrassed we've found ourselves in a position that we're in it again. If possible, I wish the club would withdraw from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many teams have won all competitions available in a season including European trophies (like the tims unfortunately who also won the Glasgow Cup that year )If you mean all competitions a team in has competed in over periods of years, that would be practically impossible.For instance we never won the Anglo-Scottish cup.(Please clarify and explain if I am wrong) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
