Singapore League Cup Quarter Finals
25/02 Home United v Gombak United
26/02 Tampines Rovers v Woodlands Wellington
28/02 Geylang United v Etoile
01/03 SAFFC v Sengkang Punggol
Semi Finals
03/03 Home/Gombak v Tampines/Woodlands
04/03 Geylang/Etoile v SAFFC/Sengkang Punggol
If this was a pony working down a coal mine that had gone blind it would be put out of its misery. This pointless competition has no footballing reason to exist. The same old teams play each other three times during the SLeague, then they have this baloney.
Drop this and add eight NFL teams to the Singapore (12 SLeague, 8 NFL, 4 foreign), have eight groups of three teams, mixing up the NFL and League then start the knock out thingy with the eight group winners. If the foreign teams don't fancy the group stage well tuff titty.
Let the NFL teams play at stadiums like Jalan Besar and let them take a cut of the gate receipts...if anyone pays to watch that is.
Hell, give the players a couple of days off.
Whatever, just ditch the League Cup.

There are two camps of thoughts for the League Cup.
A) Minnows who have a good chance for silverware as shown in the winners of the past 3 editions aren't the usual big three. Soccer coaches also find such game a good testing ground for youngsters, i.e. PN Sivaji
B) General crowd like you and me who could not give a hoot @$$ about this Mickey Mouse cup. The extra games are a burden for many clubs who have such a small squad to choose from and have to play as many as 4 games in 2 weeks if going straight into the final
Thought Starhub's involvement to broadcast the competition is a good touch and DPMM certainly added the excitement. This year it looks like Etoile looking to steamroll their way through.
