Now that Carling are finishing their sponsorship of the Carling Cup do you think the next sponsor should request that it is made a British Cup, i.e. Allow all teams from Britain to enter?

This would make the Cup more attractive and exciting to all teams involved and may well help the non EPL teams in the process with their lack of finances.

To the above comment go back to the docs for some more anti depressants


Surely all the Scottish teams would be knocked out in the first round, leaving this idea pointless.

It'll be like Europe for our teams.


Scrap the league cup? no chance thats part of our quad this year ! Seriously tho agree with above post bout top 6 in scotland ,6 teams outside euro places in epl etc ,great idea ........Stevie


Correct me if in wrong did they not try this 5,6 years ago. the winners of the league cup in scotland and england would play a final but the old firm got knocked out in the early rounds,so they scraped it. ed can u remember that. ramie govan f {Ed001's Note - no, sorry, I really don't remember that.}


Oh, so you all want to be part of Britain again? What happened to Independance for Scotland?


Its a good idea mate and has been banded about for a while now. But since when did the SFA or FA listen to good idea's? They are inept in everything they do and the way they are run is draconian. Would love to see it happen but with the idiots running our game i cant see it.


Terrible idea. remember the texaco cup? never happen


I would play league cups up to say quaterfinal stages then bring both scottish and english league cups together to play in british league cup.


Excellent idea!! well done mate!

Top 6 teams from SPL, The 6 teams that finished outside the european places in EPL and 3 teams that were relegated and 3 teams that were in semi finals of championship playoffs. That could potentially have a cup involving Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Dundee Utd, Motherwell, Hibs, Bolton, Newcastle, Everton, Norwich, Blackburn, Swansea, Nottingham Forrest, Birmingham and Leeds. Tell me that the sponcers wouldn't go for this? The EPL top 4/6 would be delighted not to play in a league cup and the scottish teams that would be let would all have a chance of winning a cup if they decided to run a league cup still in Scotland. The SPL/SFA are trialing Friday night football and want to re structure the league, why the hell have they not proposed something like i have mentioned? It's so obvious. Thoughts?


This was tried before when both the Scottish and English league cups were sponsored by Coca Cola.

Didn't happen then, doubt it will now. Although I do think it should be amalgamated and rebranded a British cup (the manky mob would like that) with a couple of sponsors like the champions league.


What is in it for English teams? They will not be excited at playing anyone outside the Old Firm and I doubt they'd even be excited about playing Rangers or Celtic. This will never happen as there is no gain for the English FA, a far more powerful body than the SFA.

Scrap the scottish cup and fa cup aye ur joking right. that would never happen. if there was going to be a british cup, they would scrap the league cup or whatever its called nowadays. i remember they talked about doing that years ago. doubt it will ever hapen.


Why does every1 want to play english teams all the time? its the most overated league in the world if it wisny for sky the premiership would be nothing. its only man utd that can win it. at least we have a 2 horse race in scotland. pls pls pls stop this pish. rangers and the smelly 1s will never never never ever get into english football. gmg


Exactly what i was thinking. scrap the scottish cup and the FA cup and imalgamate the two into the british cup. besides the old firm i think other scottish teams might shock the blinkard view projected down here in england. we all know the reason why wigan owner is so dubious about the move. he among he rest of them think we are no good. its a view most, not all but most, have down here {Ed001's Note - you can't just scrap the oldest cup competition in the world because a couple of Scottish teams think they are too good to play in Scotland. Though I do agree the two League Cup competitions should be amalgamated into one, as it would give the cups some meaning.}
