Talk:Scottish Challenge Cup

Wrong title
Hi. This article is incorrectly titled. This is not a "Challenge Cup for teams in Scotland", as the current title implies. This is a "Challenge Cup for Scottish Football League teams", as sourced here for the season 2006/07.

I am of the opinion that this article should actually be named Scottish Football League Challenge Cup, with all other redirects leading to it as parent, and so as to keep it in line with the preferred title, gleaned from the League's official website and accessed through the above link. A consensus might be useful on this. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 21:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC).


 * Apparently, Wikipedia naming conventions prefer "the most popularly used title", and not a precise title, so I am striking the call for consensus as unnecessary, as the article appears to be correctly titled under those guidelines. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 23:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Last win/last final lost
Not sure why we're giving the year that the seasons conclude (i.e., Ross County won the 2006-07 final (in November 2006), so they've been listed as the 2007 winners). - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Wrong Title
I would dispute that Scottish Challenge Cup is the most pouplarly used title for this competition, more often than not you will see it referred to in the press as Scottish League Challenge Cup, Scottish Football League Challenge Cup (it's proper title) or even SFL Challenge Cup, although within Scotland "Scottish" will often be superfluous and omitted. Given the introduction this season of the SFA Challenge Cup North and South, which compensate for the demise of the Scottish Qualifying Cup, then it seems to me there is agood case to reconsider how this article's title and avoid confusion. - Jamesrpx (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Region:incorrect status
Why is Scotland described as a region? Of where, or of what, exactly? It is a constituent country of the United Kingdom and, in footballing terms, it is a full member country of UEFA and FIFA. Perhaps the section should be omitted, as it is obvious that the Cup is played in Scotland? I give notice that I intend to edit it. Ceartas 23:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Clachnacuddin F.C.
In the format section, the article states that "Buckie Thistle and Clachnacuddin" entered this season's competition. However, the source cited says that the two clubs were actually Buckie Thistle and Deveronvale. I would have simply replaced Clachnacuddin with Deveronvale, but it struck me to be rather odd that Clachnacuddin were there in the first place. I'm finding it hard to fathom how that club's name came into this article, when they are not mentioned at all in the source. As a result, I have become concerned that Clachnacuddin have perhaps been entered into some other competition, which I am not aware of, and that is what has caused the mistake. Rather than make the change now, I am just wondering if anybody is capable of answering my concerns. Red v  Blue  22:46, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you pointed that out because you are correct, it was Deveronvale that entered and not Clachnacuddin. Cal Umbra (talk) 23:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
