Hmm, how do I piece this together.
"I can't expect you to keep saying childish things"
however from context it seems
"I can't expect anything from you if you say childish things (like that)"

A: そんなちっぽけなもん相手にしてるようじゃ到底敵いっこないって言ってんだよ

そんなちっぽけなもん = Insignificant things (like that)

相手にしてる in this context mabye "go along with"?

what about the verb 敵う here what does it mean?

Yes.



Your second guess is right.



It's not 者 here? 相手にしてる is to compete/fight with someone probably -- 相手：対抗して勝負を争う人. 敵う would be "compete with/keep up with/etc."

Going to revive this, so how would

そんなガキみてぇなこと言ってるようじゃ期待できねぇよ be reworded to say "I can't expect you to keep saying childish things"

rather than "expecting anything FROM you", I still dont get this.
