Yet again in a cup draw in Scotland, the baws quite clearly not mixed up properly. The first ones out the north section had 17, 19, 20, 23 and 24 separated by one. 

The first ones out the south section had 46, 47, 36, 37 and 38 separated by one. Then a bunch of 40s. 

So not a random draw. The high numbers are more likely to be drawn first and against each other, probably because they are last into the bowl which is too small to allow them to move around.

Made the mistake of 'watching' the draw for this on the SPFL FB page.

Comment after comment after comment from the Newco fans disgracing themselves with 'hilarious' Torbett/Sellick/colts patter.

Standard Ostrogoth behaviour generally.

Therefore I want us to put a full strength team out... erm... wherever this game will be played, and utterly annihilate them.

I doubt this is actually a thing - when there are 24 balls in the pot for each draw, it's not all that surprising that you'll sometimes get a group of consecutive numbers which are close together. There's also an observation bias present - it's more likely that you notice when the balls are one number apart, but don't notice when they're not.
