EFL Cup 3rd Round

bradowl · August 28

Draw for next round is after tonight's Forest v Newcastle game.

Games for next round are played over 2 weeks, weeks commencing 16th and 23rd September, the second week is for clubs involved in European competition.

A home draw against Barrow will do me.

Think I'll just watch the draw & see who we get!

bradowl · August 28

I'm hoping we play week commencing 16th because I'm on mornings that week.

mkowl · August 28

I mean compared to the mechanism for the Champions League League this is simple

I mean the computer draws will be about as random as a Las Vegas slot machine but eh ho

HoylandOwl · August 28

Anyone, that’s who I want…. we’ll shit the lot of em.

🤣

bradowl · August 28

We're number 21 in draw, I've just asked my piggy work mate what number they are. 🤣

Tylluan · August 28

It's complete bollocks. City, Villa, Victims, etc aren't going to be fielding their European first elevens in the Carabao Cup no matter when the tie is played.

That's what squad sizes are for and the rules allow for kids to be played in the advent of a higher competition taking precedence

It will be down to sky and sponsors, even if it's Arsenal youngsters V Barnsley Sky won't want it clashing with Champions League fixtures.

Scousers at home pls

It will be down to UEFA as much as anyone. They get very uppity about clashes where it involves EPL clubs irrespective of whether they are in the European competitions.

For Sky given every game is on the platform they get at least 4 matchdays over the 2 weeks on full coverage

I remember an FA cup replay (could have been the Chris Powell one) that was on a Thursday because an FA cup game, even one between two Championship sides, couldn’t be played at the same time as the Champions League.

Yeah, there's a UEFA ruling about games of a certain level not being played at same time as UCL matches.

That was definitely a Monday, I think that was 3 midweek home game in a row. Thank fuck for the alternative sources these days

Anyone but Geordies please, can't do with them moaning fannies.

80s Owl · August 28

I hope we do get Newcastle at home, give them about 200 tickets all with massive gaps of empty seats between then get Ozzie Owl to meet them and hold their hand on the way to their correct seat.

RichWednesday · August 28

Blackpool away

HoylandOwl · August 28

Well, that's a shit draw.

Skamp · August 28

Back to the coast again .

Rock on.

Can we tower over them?

Something very fishy about the opponents we keep drawing in this competition this season. 😁

I wouldn't say our campaign is going 'swimmingly' but at least we're not 'going through the motions'. 👀 🤮

fOWLmouth · August 28

I like balance in my life so I’m hoping Fleetwood beat Stoke and we are drawn away to them.I’m confident we will beat Blackpool and looking forward to some more fish and chips.

Then we could have Brighton away.

Otto_Man · August 28

I think that's alright, it's winnable and gives us a chance to continue giving some of those on the fringes some game time

bradowl · August 29

Playing all these coastal clubs we are running out of the fish puns, this cup run is a bit of a Roller Coaster. 🙂

Reesh · August 29

I'm certain being on a fucking river isn't coastal....

Skamp · August 29

I've never associated Blackpool with fishes. Tacky crap in the shops, expensive entry fees to pubs and spending at least £100 on ale in a day, yes. Fishes no.

fOWLmouth · August 29

Blackpool once had a fishing industry employing thousands.

fOWLmouth · August 29

I thought someone would have challenged me over the nuance of using Blackpool as the basis for the fishing industry in the greater Fylde area,but no one took the bait.I believe Fleetwood is included in that area but not 100% sure.

You try swimming across it. 😁

Cleethorpes is a seaside town on Humber estuary with a long beach, how many rivers have a beach?

He might have meant Hull. All the other 3 have beaches.

Quite a few and the Humber estuary isn't the fucking sea.

Nothing officially announced yet but down for 17th September on our fixture list. 👍

They do day trips from Cleethorpes to the sea - it's about 8 miles away

I've seen folks splashing about in the sea / laid on beach either side of the base of the pier. We'd been scoffing f&c in PAPA'S on the pier after enjoying a walk south of Cleethorpes last summer.

Well who knew?

Dixon was born in Ecclesall, Sheffield on 16 October 1904.

At the age of thirteen he was appointed to the post of organist at Birley Carr Methodist church and was also assistant organist at Hillsborough Methodist church

At 17 Dixon auditioned at the Stocksbridge Palace and he was employed as pianist and musical director

After eighteen months, Dixon accepted a job as pianist and deputy organist at Chesterfield Picture House

At Chesterfield he was called upon more and more often to play the organ, and when he was 21, he became a fully professional theatre organist

A year later he became organist and pianist of the Heeley Palace in Sheffield

I knew he was from Sheffield. I watched or read something in the last ten years which mentioned him as such and i remember being surprised. With him being as nationally famous as he was, you'd expect him to have been more féted than he was here.

Controversial because it's not a river either

It is basically transgender, identifying as fresh water, then as sea water on an incoming tide.

Though the Humber estuary was more identifying as turds

Speaking of turds and hull.

Privately, the club hierarchy has had enough of Palmer and have been trying to get rid all window.

They recognised his participation in events at ours and his provocation antics against other opponents and how the club were attracting media attention not for the football
