    Whatever happened to chucking the balls in a bag and drawing them out?

    Right pile of crap, trying to favour better teams to get them an easy way through to round 3.

    It will never be like the FA Cup

    Because the FA Cup is taken seriously.

    The League Cup is for the kids.

    RE: Right farce

    So it's a seeding system where Leeds of league 1 get a home game against Watford who came about 18th in Championship last season, but Barnsley of the Championship have to play away to a side who were in last season's Championship play offs? I see.

    Its not the seedings that bother me...

    its the &quot;Leeds get to play at home against....&quot; and the &quot;Barnsley will be away against...&quot;</p>

    How? Why? What happened to decide that?</p>

    2 baskets. Seeded teams in one. Unseeded in another. Take it in turns to pick a home team. Simples.

    I missed it - but how did it work then

    Did some teams get guaranteed home ties or did they alternately draw seeded and unseeded teams as the home team

    Had intended to watch it but it got put on early :((

    The fact we have seedings bothers me.

    why - its a cup competition. Not knowing or being able to play anyone is what its all about.

    Basically, we we're told whether the unseeded team would be at home or away...

    and then Le Tiss would draw a seeded team to see who they faced.</p>

    However, no mention of how they decided which unseeded teams were at home/away....

    Just counted up half the home teams were seeded

    And half werent so they must have had some system.

    Really cant see why they couldnt draw the home team alternately from a seeded /unseeded bag though

    They said

    that they "pre-drew" them!

    They drew the unseeded teams and then drew out whether home or away....they've done this for the last few years

    Its still ***** and even though its not it feels fixed in some way.
