Carabao cup? is this some weird sponsor for the league cup or some lower league thing? Mind you I'd happily let them name the Scottish Cup something crazy if it brought the cash in I suppose. We're all money slags at the end of the day

I don't mind stupid sponsor names too much but it's a bit ridiculous to name a cup after a product that is probably rarely sold in England

Can't see the problem. When they start playing games over there or in the middle of the night to accommodate far off sponsors then that's the line not to cross. A cup draw in the afternoon is just fine. A bigger problem is the first round isn't complete and they are playing second round matches.

4:15 PM would be a perfectly reasonable time, shame it's at 4:15 in the morning.

Bigger questions will be asked if there is a few huge fixtures pulled out. Also, the Far East is notorious for match fixing and gambling.
That said, its probably still a lot less corrupt than Scottish football

Carabo has advertising at Hibs and was the main sponsor for the player of the year last year. With the legal issues Marathon were having holding up the deal to be main sponsor again I had heard we had initial talks with Carabo about them as a main sponsor.

Picture this scenario same 4 teams in the semi as last year: The Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and us. That draw would pull in lots of viewers to watch the draw and would be extremely exciting for the 4 teams in the draw. But nah put it at 4am for the benefit of foreign sponsors who've never been to a game in person before.

English football has a massive audience in the Far East. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they are playing some competitive games out there. The TV audiences in China and India in particular, for English football dwarf anything they could get from England.

They scheduled it in the middle of the night so that they could correct the cock-ups before anybody in the UK woke up.
This is the competition that had Charlton Athletic drawn against two different opponents in the previous round and had several teams confused if they were home or away.
Speaking of Cup Draws, someone doing them obviously doesn't like Manchester City:
They drew West Brom away in the Caribou Cup. That is the tenth successive time that City have been drawn away in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. Nine out of ten they were drawn away to a Premier League team. The exception was Huddersfield last season in the FA Cup, and they are now in the Premier League.
There is a one in a thousand chance of ten successive away draws even before you start factoring in getting top league opponents nine times.
Meantime, Manchester United draw Burton! At home!

I think this is a sign of the times sadly, but it's still absolutely ridiculous.
I heard this last night on the radio when they were previewing last night's games and they were complaining about how the draw would not only be held in China but would also be held at a time that would suit Chinese people and not those in England.
Having a cup draw being done in China in the first place is just a nonsense but to then have it in the early hours of the morning when most of the people it will affect are sleeping is not on.
Shame on the English football authorities for allowing this to happen.
