[p=sh]

http://sport.scotsman.com/football/SPL-sides-poised-to-join.6810836.jp

Tomorrow at 1PM in Dingwall.

Anyone remember if the draw is seeded at this stage?
Seems that the "top 5" from last season stay out till the NEXT round.

Yes it is

Yes it is

Ta for that link.
So it looks like if we get through to the NEXT round we almost certainly WON'T be seeded.
Ah well, let's see who we get the morn.

Yes it is

So does that mean that as one of the 11 highest seeded teams for the 2nd round, we are guaranteed to be drawn away?

It really depends if one of the so called seeded teams who finished above Hibs in the League gets knocked out or not!
One round at a time please

[smurf]

Home draw please!

Not Livy away...

[R'Albin]

Home draw please!

Not Livy away...

Or dare I say it...Ayr away:rolleyes:

[scuttle]

Or even Morton at home

[scuttle]

Or Ross County away

[FromTheCapital]

Berwick at home would be good!:aok:

[Hibs90]

Inverness away please :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Being totally selfish, a wee trip down the road to Stenhousemuir would be most welcome for myself. :agree:

Ochilview was one of the first trips I ever made to watch Hibs, when I was six years old, and I haven't been back since.

[Billy Whizz]

Home draw please!

Not Livy away...

Home draw for me, I've got a cup top up ticket

[IWasThere2016]

Dundee or FarFar please

That's a lot of Hibs games you've missed since then.

[IWasThere2016]

Dundee or FarFar please

[ronaldo7]

Dundee or FarFar please

You're not very quiet are you.......We heard you the first time:greengrin

Is there any coverage on Sky Sports News?

[Part/Time Supporter]

Is there any coverage on Sky Sports News?

For the League Cup draw? The only time it got much coverage was yon time when a Tory MSP made an arse of it.

:greengrin

The best draw ever imo was the one for the scottish cup, when they wheeled in some bloke who'd scored the winner for Clyde in the final, forget who they played? :wink:

He dropped one of the balls and it rolled away down the steps from the cup it was pulled from, so amateurish by the SFA. Comedy gold though.:greengrin

[TamHibs]

I think, and i could be wrong, that as a seeded team today we will definately be drawn away from home

[down-the-slope]

Home draw for me, I've got a cup top up ticket

:agree: seconded by another selfish toad :greengrin

[scoopyboy]

you are wrong.

half the seeded teams at home and half the seeded teams away. Well it would be if there was an even number of ties.

it alternates as the draw proceeds.

[green&left]

Is the draw live on the radio anywhere?

Ah right I see. Hopefully a home game then coz i'm a selfish grunt who wants full use of their cup top up :greengrin

[Sean1875]

Cant find anything, had a look at the official SFL twitter page thing and theyre just saying it will appear on the SFL website after 1 o'clock.

That has always been the case.

The second round fixtures are run midweek when CL/EL are being held.

Hence all teams qualifying for Europe get a bye to round three. This applies even if eliminated before the draw is made.

:agree: seconded by another selfish toad :greengrin
:agree: thirded. The likes of Forfar's far too Farfar for those of us who love our home games.

[jonty]

i'm guessing this article will be updated:http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/news/article/scottish-communities-league-cup-second-round-draw-6/

[Sean1875]

has it been decided when the fixtures will take place?

[Sylar]

has it been decided when the fixtures will take place?

Sure they're midweek - the 23rd/24th of August.

[Biggie]

what a joke that we have to scuttle around various websites to get an update of the draw...could they not show the bloody thing live over the internet ?....or update every 30 seconds.....I know it's not the world cup draw but ffs show some initiative with marketing the tournie.....

[PatHead]

As Celtic and Rangers are not involved at this stage the draw is of no interest to the BBC or Sky.

Be one of those velvet bags and some wooden balls with the numbers scribbled on in marker pen. Best not to show it to the world.

:agree: Ridiculous handling of it all, sitting refreshing the SFL homepage. Dont see why they cant simply have a radio link atleast?

[allezsauzee]

The draw was meant to be at 1pm.....how long does it take these numpties to pick 22 balls out of a bag? :confused:

So that is why its taking me so long to connect to their website! It's almost given up under the strain. Any more hits and they'll claim it is a DDOS attack by Anonymous! :greengrin

[RoxburghHibs]

So I wonder where we will find out first?

Hibs.net
Official Hibs website
BBC Sport website
Sky Sports News
SFA website

I vote for Hibs.net :greengrin

[Moulin Yarns]

The official line from the Scottish Football league is


There are currently no fixtures for season 2011/2012 for SCLC

You would almost think that draw was fixed to drum up interest in the Tournament. There are some cracking ties in there without a doubt.

Couple of tasty derbies in there

Morton v St.Mirren is a cracker.

Also Killie got a bye then to make the draw even?

[Hibtastic]

East Five v Dunfermline will be a tasty one for sure!!:greengrin

[NOLA]

odds on Damon Gray scoring against us? :wink:

[soproni1]

Dare I say it as comfortable a draw as we could have hoped for (wood touching)

[Jamesie]

I bought my season ticket early doors - can't remember if that qualifies for the top up this year - can anyone shed a light?

There was a cut off Jamsie but if you have your ticket handy it will have CTU on it if it qualifies. :thumbsup:

I took out the payment plan - presumably I still qualify for the top up? Ticket at home and I'm at work so can't check.
