The Tunnocks Teacake Cup

or whatever it's called started this week and once again showcased what a complete and utter shambles it is, and once again smashed the argument for including colt teams as they offer virtually nothing to the competition and, along with the ludicrous decision to include non-Scottish teams and non-league teams, continues to diminish what was a once important competition for lower league teams.

The colt teams were in first round action and half of them were pumped out in front of paltry crowds. This is because nobody gives the slightest of fecks about colt teams.

Some attendances:

Albion v Hearts - 207
Berwick v Rangers - 303
Brora v Aberdeen - 150
Queens Park v Celtic - 321

Absolute nonsense.

I just googled the scores because as you'll have noticed, they weren't displayed anywhere because nobody gives the slightest of fecks about this shambles of a competition, which will only get shamblier (new word for this cup) as the other teams are added.

Fraserburgh 2 Ross Co 3
Queens 2 Celtic 2 (Celtic won on pens)
St Mirren 1 East Kilbride 0
Berwick 1 Rangers 2
Kelty 4 Killie 0
St Johnstone 1 Cove 4
Albion 1 Hearts 4
Livi 1 Formartine 3
Brora 6 Aberdeen 0
Hibs 3 Elgin 4
Motherwell 1 Spartans 0
Hamilton 4 BSC Glasgow (who the feck are they?) 0


They should stop this farce now and put it out of its misery. Revert back to a straight knock out between the lower league teams and give these teams a reason to take it seriously.
