League Cup - Second Round Draw

[agreenwood]

**** draws. We only get **** draws…

[ElectroClaret]

Not brilliant, but all we can do is to try to make the best of it and go there and try to win it

If we lose, no biggie in the scheme of things.

They’re plucking balls from a bowl, BigF. What did they do that was not to your liking?

Can't speak for BigF but for me the host, whoever she was, making non-funny little comments whilst Beckford and Davies did a fake wheezy laugh each time at least it wasn't delayed by 15 mins or so like it usually is.

Rubbish. Be interesting to see how we face up to a PL team under Parker though.

Yet another shocking cup draw.

For my part I appreciated that the presenter gave both pronunciations of Shrewsbury an equal billing.

It’s commonly known as, “the luck of the draw”.

And if it wasn’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all. ( in the cup draws at least ).

The issue is we DO get lucky sometimes. Unfortunately quite often we don’t capitalise. Most recent one I can think of is Lincoln. I’m sure there’s plenty more.

Think its a great draw and an early chance to see how Scotty Parker's Burnley team stands up against a Premier League reserve team

Who did Leeds get

Who did your mighty Leeds draw ? I was concentrating on our draw and must have missed yours

Recent draws for the FA Cup on the BBC have had a graphic of ball numbers and teams gradually being removed as the draw was made. I knew we were in the last four balls but had no idea who we could be getting. It did feel a bit thrown together.

Always the same with the League Cup draw, never really looks very professional at all. Even when it got down to the last two, I'd no idea who we were playing.

[claretburns]

Wasn't it the League Cup draw that took place in a supermarket a couple of years ago?

It was.

And a few years ago they did the draw in the far east so it was around 3:30 am here. That was when the clown Shaun Harvey was the league’s CEO.

[ClaretTony]

Just looked it up

2017/18
First round draw in Thailand
Third round draw in China

2018/19
First round draw in Vietnam

Harvey said they wanted to promote the competition internationally.

Still remember Donald Trump looking even more bewildered than usual when he 'assisted' with a draw many years ago.

Oh yes, I saw that recently on YouTube alongside Saints & Greavsie. Very random
