Caribou Cup 2nd draw TONIGHT

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

theyve ****ed up the home and way stuff

John Solako looking very confused by the letter H at one point of the draw was fantastic.

John Salako hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

To be fair, I've just switched it on and I haven't the foggiest either

Salako completing lousing up the start of the draw! FFS

 

[Stat Brother]

Barnet at home

Christ that's gonna be a tough one to lose.

 

[Wilko]

DOH!

SAKE

Christ that's gonna be a tough one to lose.

Very good

What is the point in the home and away ball? Just pick them out of one pot ffs. The old way never needed changing

Barnet at home FULL HOUSE 29,000 people trying to get 20 loyalty points
Great draw though at home

They agree with you

Newport is in the north.Who knew.

 

[Garage_Doors]

When will it be played?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Why's Newport County 'north', but Swansea 'south'?

I was wondering about this but I've worked out (I think!) that it's because it's a seeded draw. Therefore Salako draws the seeded team, and then decides if they're home or away via another ball. Then McLeish draws the unseeded team.

Carlisle v Sunderland looks vaguely likely to draw interest up that way, while Blackburn v Burnley will obviously be the TV pick. Sheffield United will probably fancy their chances against Leicester I guess.

Salako's hands appear to be shaking with nerves, presumably at the incredible responsibility of it all.

I don't get why they regionalised it for their sake. If they were drawn together you just keep the ball out draw another one and then put it back in. Strewth.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

One would imagine there will be an epic crowd for Middlesbrough v Scunthorpe

 

[Gazwag]

Why were there still home or away balls left in the middle pot after all the matches were draw

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Why's Newport County 'north', but Swansea 'south'?

Agreed. They're both bloody northerners.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

When will it be played?

Week after next.

I see, but then I don't understand how they are deciding who's seeded and unseeded! Is it just divisional or based on other criteria? QPR v Brentford for example!

I did notice the Salako shake. Looks too much for him to handle

So what are they doing with the games where Solako got it wrong? I know it was announced as Ipswich vs Palace but it should be the other way round. Are they honouring the draw? Honouring the games as they were announced or is someone from the EFL currently calling Solako a **** and trying to work out how he managed to get confused by a red ball with an H on it and a white ball with an A on it.

Why were Palace seeded?
