    Draw for second round Thursday at 1pm

    Rangers U20 went out last night beaten by Dumbarton 2-1, be interesting to see who Bray and Sligo get, not expecting much from this competition to be honest but a bit of diversion for Bray and Sligo who have had a bit of a mare of a season for two different reasons

    Interesting enough fixtures there.

    I'd expect both Bray and Sligo to progress, but Sligo could be a risk. Falkirk have had a shaky start to their season, whilst Sligo have been no great shakes this season either. Hard to see how they won't still be in a relegation scrap by the time this fixture comes round, so they may not be that bothered about winning it.

    Tricky tie for Crusaders. If Linfield face Albion Rovers it could turn into a proxy Old Firm match. They're based in Coatbridge, which is not only near Glasgow but is also the west of Scotland's biggest Catholic town.

    Albion are under investigation for playing an in eligible player in the last round and had a "pay what you can" entrance fee for their game v Spartans. They are managed by Brian Kerr.
    If they tried to sell their ground twice , I claim "house" in Scotlands version of League of Ireland bingo.

    Crues are playing Motherwell's u20s. Should be favourites for that; the u20 sides aren't up to much so far

    Seeing as our only game between now and then is away to Cork I think it's a safe assumption to say we'll still be in a relegation scrap. May as well give it a go. Only 2 other games in September.

    Bray and Sligo are both out of the FAI cup and will only play every second week in the League in September so both should progress a few rounds in this competition. Will be interesting to see how they fair to compare the standards

    Both Sligo and Bray should be looking to win this competition, never mind seeing how far they can go in it. The highest ranked sides are second division Scottish teams ffs..

    I was thinking this myself. Unfortunately for Sligo and Bray, neither are having the best of seasons at present, but they should be able to give it a decent go all the same.
    Just worth bearing in that the semi-final and final take place after the Scottish winter break, so could be very different squads by then.
    Have you ever won the treble?

    The likes of Dundee United, Inverness, Falkirk, Dunfermline and Saint Mirren are all decent sized clubs especially by Irish standards. And the Scottish 2nd tier has standards of facilities and professionalism we can only dream of as a league. But am sure Sligo and Bray will batter all comers.

    Standards of professionalism and facilities don't always translate onto the pitch.

    Plus the biggest teams may not take it too seriously.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Must be nearly over that one. Disappointing if it stays like that.

    2-0 Elgin.

    So much for going easy on them!

    Average crowd in the second flight in Scotland last season was 4400 btw. Every club was bigger than Bray. I think people have been getting carried away here.

    Yeah, I know.

    I was pointing out that the expectation the LoI teams should be looking to win was over the top. But I could have been clearer alright.

    Elgin's crowds are around Bray's - 600/700 - so I don't think it's an absolute embarrassment. But it is a wake up call. Dundalk and Cork aside - maybe Rovers have potential too - the LoI is poorer than I've ever seen. And I think that's feeding into the ****e in Georgia tonight.
