How come a bunch of Irish teams are playing in the Scottish Challenge Cup?
Irish, Welsh and colt teams from the Premiership in a vain attempt to make it more interesting.
With Morton already out of said cup, myself and the boy travelled to the Carlisle United v Mansfield Town game today. Mansfield were the better team early on and when Carlisle scored, it was against the run of play, but they came on to a game for the rest of the 1st half, ht 1-0. Mansfield were once again the better team at the start of the 2nd and should have equalised, but ex-Rangers player Kane Hemmings missed a penalty, well to be fair the keeper saved it. They did equalise after a good save from the keeper went straight to a Mansfield player who volleyed home. Game finished 1-1, but Carlisle will probably be the happier team with a point as Mansfield were the better team overall.
