League Cup Draw: Forfar v Rangers


Recommended Posts

Is it bad that I had to look up what division Forfar were in, only to see they are actually in our league?

 

Doubt many can name all nine teams in our league at the moment. That will change when the season starts. It's a bit early and not terribly exciting...

For most of last season I couldn't name the nine teams we were playing. In fact I would probably struggle with it now!

 

I still go to all the games, and enjoy my days out at the football with my mates and seeing the team play, but this "journey" isn't at all glamorous or exciting. Different, yes. Refreshing, at times yes. Exciting, no, not at all. The title is a foregone conclusion before a ball is kicked, so there is no need to be keeping an eye on the opposition as none of the teams are a threat to our season's ambitions of getting through the leagues. In the SPL you would be checking the fixtures for the next few weeks seeing who we have got and who the tims have got and the potential for any slip-ups. Seeing the match report of your next opponents to see if they are on form or not. Seeing who got sent off the week before for the tims next opponents!

 

The best thing about these 3 years out of the top flight is the huge savings us match-going bears are making on ticket prices, and getting to go around the country to the wee grounds you only used to see in cup ties. Standing on the terraces is good as well, as you get into the grounds a wee bit earlier to make sure you get a good spot to view the game from. Stress-free footy I call it, as even if we draw or lose the odd game, the title is not in doubt and it doesn;t ruin your week like it used to in the top flight where every dropped point was a potential title decider.

We will only have 2 of our new signings available by then, but should manage. Probably one of the "easiest" draws we could get, with no disrespect to Forfar. After those many home-ties last season, an away game was probably right too. Forfar will obviously happy, as we go there at least three times this season now.
