Estragon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Breeze past these no-marks, then either St Johnstone or Raith Rovers in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We'll get Hearts or Rangers away, absolute stick on. its a farce how predictable our draws are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 According to the BBC website, the most exciting draws of the round are Aberdeen v Hibs.... and Hearts v Killie. Whit?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've missed Back Posts Misses and his high standard of posting so it's a good draw from that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Decent trip for us - looking forward to it. I think I've got a 100% record at Cappielow in the 3 times I've been there - I saw a 2-0 win in the league in the mid-80's (someone scored a double for us - maybe Paul Smith?), the epic Cup QF in 1991 and a comfortable 3-0 in the league cup a few years back where Clarkson scored 1 of them... That 1991 game was robbery. Played off the park and you go and win the shoot out. Same season we were denied a famous win in the League Cup at Fir Park. Nice backhander to Kenny Hopeless to disallow a perfectly good Alexander winner in injury time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That 1991 game was robbery. Played off the park and you go and win the shoot out. Same season we were denied a famous win in the League Cup at Fir Park. Nice backhander to Kenny Hopeless to disallow a perfectly good Alexander winner in injury time. Can't argue with that The cup qf replay was the worst we played in that entire run and Jonny Gaghan scoring against us felt totally wrong - the joy of getting through had me on the park at the end... The first game was tough as well. The league cup game was a classic (4-3 to 'Well aet wasn't it?? I remember Psycho O'neill scoring a couple in that one I think).

The Master Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hibs v Aberdeen has a decent shot at being on TV. I would have said The Rangers v St Johnstone, but the BBC's boycott of Ibrox would make that impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Shouldn't be a surprise St Johnstone are never involved in the most exciting anything Come on - 4-3 at Tynie?! John Sutton though... Aberdeen must be laughing - probably a toss-up between Hibs and Killie for most wanted teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottorae Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thinking back to the format of the draw, I don't think it was the best/ fairest way to do it. Fair enough the rationale for seeded teams, but the way they drew the ties meant that it was always going to be 4 seeded teams at home, and 4 seeded teams away. Surely they should have drawn a seeded team, then draw whether they would be at home or away, then who they would be playing? More random and gives more chance of "glamour" away ties for the unseeded teams, or indeed for unseeded teams to be drawn at home and cause an upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Shouldn't be a surprise St Johnstone are never involved in the most exciting anything I haven't mentioned St. Johnstone at all. I simply believe that Killie v Hearts isn't a 'stonker' in comparison to draws like Ross County v Falkirk, Morton v Motherwell or Dundee United v Dunfermline. I'd be surprised if Hearts don't win by at least 10 goals, and they already play each other at least 3 times during the season. I don't think it's remotely exciting.

HoBNob Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 No one is seriously saying Killie v Hearts will be the most exciting tie? Genuinely the most boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Dreadful, dreadful dra'. We'll be pumped out. Hibs vs Aberdeen surely has to be on the TV. Maybe even Dundee United vs Pars. Wouldn't be surprised if they picked the Celtic game though. The BBC will mention once how Raith beat them in a league cup final and then spend the rest of the night wanking off the serpents boaby as they stroll to a victory.

7-2 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We've gone out of the last three cup competitions to lesser teams. Tommy needs to get us back on track as we don't want to make it four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Really think we have a great chance of going through. If United bring in a couple of decent players though, it will be very difficult. Nothing to lose for us though so should be a fun night. Unless we get utterly pumped of course.

The Master Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The BBC and Sevco have negotiated a truce, so I'd be amazed if the game at Ibrox isn't now picked for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hibs v Aberdeen on tele please!!! Or Dunfermline v United, how many games will there be on the box? 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
