Radford Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hearts away, if we progress, clearly not the tie you'd pick but wouldn't be so bad if we weren't there on league business the weekend before. More than anything else, that's what I always want to avoid with cup draws. Rovers will be delighted with their potential reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 With the Dons consisting of mostly Utd cast offs we should know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great draw if you like banana skins ....but since Sir Steve is in charge we await A*r in the next round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Unless we got a highland league side away wasn't really bothered who got. At least aberdeen may give us a bit of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big day out for the the fans, the town of Dundee will be empty that day. Hopefully the players all get time off from their day jobs to make the game, its not everyday they get to play a side like Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Given Uniteds perennial diddy status the big crowd and split of gate receipts will be a boost in their efforts to stay afloat. It's the big draw they were all hoping for. Whole (half the) town will be out, displays in shop windows, schools given the day off and kids painting banners for the big day. What a stroke of luck for the lower league triers."Och I don't know if they'll win but I'm sure they'll give a good account of themselves." Said a Dundee person.

The Master Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Celtic v Partick Thistle, Aberdeen v Utd and Ayr Utd v Fraserburgh/Sevco as TV ties IMO. I would imagine they’ll need to be picked before the Fraserburgh game is played, but Sky won’t be able to see past a Sevco win there so will just assume it’s them that’s through.

United- who have won the Cup twice in the last quarter of a century- dwarf the diddy Dons. "New Firm" gives the rivalry a sense of parity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 TV games will be: Celtic vs Thistle Ayr vs Rangers Aberdeen vs Dundee United Celtic game shouldn't be on though. Would far prefer Killie vs Brora (or even the Hearts game tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that the BBC have 2nd pick this time around then the Celtic game will be their choice with Sky hoovering up the games at Pittodrie and Somerset Park.

I just hope we’re professional about it. It can be easy to switch off against these part time teams.We have to remember it’s essentially their cup final and they’ll be up for it.

Gibby82 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Re-run of the City of Culture bid with a laughable Aberdeen effort knocked out of the competition early by the slick Dundee team, who’ll progress to the final before losing to Hull City (this is where the analogy falls apart to be honest).

Sarto Mutiny Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 In all seriousness, it would be nice if United could somehow beat Aberdeen, if only to save them from choking yet another final against Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
