    Over the years the League cup as become devalued because the big boys don't like it> I agree with Eaststander and perhaps it is now time for the football authorities to think seriously about replacing it.

    No - don't replace it, just scrap it.

    In my opinion the cups should be something like this</p>

    FA Cup = As it is now</p>

    League Cup = 72 league teams (still allows for big-ish games aginst championship sides for those in league 2 but also gives everyone a realistic chance of winning something)</p>

    LDV Cup (whatever its called now) should be scrapped as the FA Vase (i think) already covers those outside the football league.</p>

    exactly. they might be the second string

    but one injury and they will be playing in the first team and they simply arent good enough.</p>

    For example, Devaney only needs to take a knock on friday and that will mean McParland will be our right winger for the next game. Now I challenge any reds fan to tell me that they seriously believe that he is good enough.</p>
