Out , Stage one for entering Premier  B teams into the lower Leagues.

 

They can fuck right off.

How many penalty shoot outs have we had at the reebok?

 

Think I've only seen one... Gillingham in the league cup maybe? Think we got the 23:05 train home

Southampton in cup. Think we won that.

Tottenham and DMB's already withdrawn from EFL Trophy according to Daily Mail.

I'm not touching this cup competition with a shitty stick - same with the league cup. How teams complain about fixture congestion then stay competitive in these 2 comps I don't know. Scrap them both and pump the prize money into the FA Cup

There's enough money for the big boys to win in the FA Cup already, just allocate it to the L1 & L2 clubs

A clear attempt at grovelly, hand-wringing deference to the eatablished clubs.

 

I've seen some shit ideas in my time but this wins the prize by several light years.

 

I wouldn't go if it was free and they gave me a complimentary pie and tickled my balls for the duration.

Isn't it these sort of minds that are asking england players who should manage the national team?

Beginning to wonder if these people have any idea of what the average football fan feels.

Gutted about this was looking forward to a go at getting to Wembley. We're just extras now in a reserve trophy. Why do favours for the rich when we've just nearly gone bankrupt.

2nd round :

 

8pm kick off at the Macron, Tuesday 6th December, freezing fog around the area, sleet and hail and all kind of shite going on.

 

A dour 0-0 draw against Hartlepool, no goals in extra time.

 

Penalties start at 10.35pm.

 

Get fucked.

They're not bothering with extra time, it's straight to pens after 90 minutes

 

It's still turd though

I'm sure there's a committee that meets at the end of every season to see what ridiculous ways they can fuck about with the game for the next campaign.

 

The 2017/18 ELT (Or whatever its called) will be flying goalies and 2 touch limit.

Perhaps sweep has touched upon something.

Just scrap the whole 90 minutes. A penalty shoot out, best of fifty say. Football's answer to T20; T penalty.

Draw just made. Everton, Blackpool and Cheltenham(?). Play each once,

That whets the appetite. I'd rather go to the fun day and PNE game on Saturday than any of them games - and I've no intention of going on Saturday

Cheltenham northern?

Ridiculous just playing to many games

Draw done behind closed doors , no dates for games and no venues announced ,   load of old bollocks.

Cheltenham in the Northern and Coventry in the Southern? What a crock of shite

should play this behind closed doors, absolutely zero interest in playing premier league reserve teams.

I hope every team plays their youth team and with a bit of luck the farce competition will get scrapped

Good opportunity for a few of our 20 midfielders to get a game

As it stands at the moment - how many people will be going to that Everton U21's game?

 

I'm out.

Cheltenham in the Northern and Coventry in the Southern? What a crock of shite

 

Rochdale have got Sunderland, Hartlepool and Notts County.

 

Wimbledon face Newport, Swansea and Plymouth.

 

WBA have Luton, Millwall and Gillingham.

 

The benefits of a regional draw?

My sister lives in Gloucester and her best friend works for Cheltenham Town, the club are absolutely furious and were told last week they would be in the Southern draw, they are now threatening to pull out of the competition which will mess our group up. Surely these "regional draws" should be split 4 ways

I suppose these games will give us a chance for squad/reserve players to play 1st team ish football, but so long as prem under 21 teams are in the competition, I won't be going to any of the games even if they were free.
