Dunning1874 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Could do without getting pumped by Motherwell for the trillionth time, tbh. Hopefully Annan is one of the away games and we get a good day out at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Happy enough with that draw, hopefully we will be away to Dundee or Caley on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Something didn't seem quite right with that process for the unseeded teams. Someone else can perhaps crunch the numbers in terms of the odds of being drawn in a certain group, but it didn't seem right that after the first unseeded team was drawn, the next three drawn couldn't be in that group (and second, next two etc.). Surely it would be better to put the group ball back in and only remove it once all the slots are filled?Or why not just draw the unseeded ones out one group at a time and get rid of the group balls altogether. They’re unnecessary at that point, in fact they’re essentially unnecessary for the whole thing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hibs got drawn out first, I thought 'Group A', and then they put us in Group C. Why not just do it chronologically? First team goes in A, second in B etc. Edited May 28, 2019 by HibsFan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just now, Widge said: Or why not just draw the unseeded ones out one group at a time and get rid of the group balls altogether. They’re unnecessary at that point, in fact they’re essentially unnecessary for the whole thing! Well, yes. That would be an option as well. They just ended up with a bizarre half-way house where allocating groups to the unseeded teams was pointless because they still ended up excluding certain teams from certain groups before they were full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exact time but it will be after BT make their selections. Hearts vs Dundee Utd is an absolute lock. I'd try and get Thistle vs Clyde and would want to feature Cove at some point since they're just up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a 2 in 3 chance, if that's a thing, of visiting Palmerston then, presuming Morton are the second seeds and will visit Fir Park? Just think, Palmerston in the League Cup, then a trip to Montrose in the Scottish Cup, job done. Does this include the Elgins, Annans, Peterhead, and Edinburgh City? What about Cove? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
