Carabao Cup - Third Round

[trugerkem]

So the League Cup is being run into the ground so Chelsea can play Shamrock Rovers and Noah( what’s the point)  … I mean I know it’s not solely because of that but UEFA are making a mockery of football

See that despite the 3rd round being initially scheduled for w/c 16th September (17th and 18th), our game at Walsall and some others are the following week on 24th.

It is scheduled for w/c 16th and w/c 23rd. Something to do with teams that are playing in Europe and that was why the draw was fixed, sorry, seeded

Ah ok 👍. I saw originally they were all down for Tuesday 17th but didn’t realise they would move to the following week not just within the first week. 
 

Yeah the fixing of the draw is a joke to be fair. Just leave teams in Europe out of it if it’s too much.

I think that was one thing they suggested but the sponsors would pull out if they didn't have the bigger clubs in.

Carabao? Let them go then. Hardly some famous brand! The EFL Cup has had more sponsors than Brendan has Gucci belts anyway so there’ll always be another sponsor just as there is always another belt to be had
