Technical glitch hits Carabao Cup draw and the reaction was far greater than you’d imagine

And they say nobody cares about the League Cup...

The draw for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals is going down today and while most felt that the event would pass by with just an indifferent shrug from neutrals, it turns out that there are far more supporters eager for the results than you'd have probably expected. The draw was initially scheduled for 4pm but 4pm came and went and the minutes continued ticking on by without a ball selected by Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson. Don't ask us why they were there. Fans of Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, West Ham, Leicester, Bournemouth and Bristol City were all on tenterhooks before, at 4.20pm, the competition's official sponsors revealed that the delay would continue until 5pm. https://twitter.com/Carabao_Cup/status/923569908935528453 WTF??? A technical glitch with Twitter, where the draw would be streamed live, saw a postponement which rocked the footballing world like news of Lionel Messi being murdered by Cristiano Ronaldo. Cries for Rod Stewart's surprise arrival, complaints of piss-taking and (perish the thought) threats of boycotting Carabao, whatever that is, confirmed something that took us by complete surprise. People actually give a shit about the Carabao Cup... Or the draw at the very least. https://twitter.com/TomJGarry/status/923568917376917504 https://twitter.com/willbrazier/status/923568531639275520 https://twitter.com/TheSportsman/status/923566720647868416 https://twitter.com/JBDT/status/923571006912061441 https://twitter.com/karlstilgoe/status/923570994731782144 https://twitter.com/MatthewHarryHoy/status/923570973068144640 https://twitter.com/Po6baholic/status/923570941107589121 https://twitter.com/TommyMcAlliste1/status/923570915811713024 https://twitter.com/SteTudor123/status/923570905179189249 https://twitter.com/MonkeyKello/status/923570858689486848 https://twitter.com/DrawtyDevil/status/923570850049249280 https://twitter.com/ily_patel/status/923570770009378817 https://twitter.com/CalArsenal/status/923570767035535360 https://twitter.com/thearsenal77_3/status/923569352774955012 https://twitter.com/Xeroxed84/status/923570267720503296 https://twitter.com/OSullivanMUFC/status/923568125202845702
