Hibs V Rangers

The game will be moved for TV I would presume.

Please 12:30 on Saturday. The only game scheduled to be on TV at that time is the "Intercontinental Cup", though surely no one will want to watch that pish.

Friday night would do me!

[Gatecrasher]

I wonder if they will allow cup top ups.

I'm hoping that happens in the first league fixture. Got a wedding on the 22nd then fly to Ibiza on the Sunday so Friday night it needs to be.

Edit: just realised the guys stag is on the 25th July!! Ah well if it's the early game I can meet them in GLasgow post-match

[Bishop Hibee]

Cant make the Saturday as still on holiday. If it's moved to the Sunday or later I'll go. Should be a decent earner for the club if nothing else.

Well it is a cup so can't see why not.

I could not care less about this tournament. The fact we play them at ER makes it no more important. I think we should play our fringe players

Why?

Good chance for a hard pre-season work out for our team and the opportunity to show them how much better we are than them. Yes, it is a diddy cup but a chance for a step up in preparation.

Bet you Hibs are delighted. Money to be made as well.

[Brightside]

No more than 100 tickets for them...

[CB_NO3]

If anything, its an extra 100k in the coffers.

[MartinfaePorty]

I'll be in the middle of the Australian outback so they can play it whenever they like!

Because it's a crappy wee cup that is off no interest.

So you would rather play meaningless friendlies to get our fitness up?

its a good chance to beat the huns and lay down a marker for the season.

[iwasthere1972]

It's a tricky one. Of course we want to beat them but not at the risk of any of our players sustaining any injuries. I know that they are a dirty team and they might see injuring someone as more important than the match itself.

[andrew70]

Can almost guarantee we'll play them in the midweek after.

Hearts host Everton on same day so can't see the police letting us play the Huns.

Mr Stubbs and the players would disagree with you, they will take this crappy wee cup seriously and will want to win it.

Our game is an official cup fixture. Hertz is a friendly. Get them to move.

[Turkish Green]

Diddy wee cups are still diddy wee Cups regardless of who the opposition are. The result cannot affect the start to the league season.

I doubt that will be on there minds when they come to play us, yes they can be a dirty side but there main aim just like us will be be to go out and win the game and don't pick up any stupid bookings or red cards will be the managers words, can't see him in his team talk saying i want that Stevenson/Cummings/Allan going home in a ambulance.

Take it it's still a 'Nothing tie', 'diddy cup', 'play the kids' scenario and those trotting out they lines won't be going, aye?

**** the Rangers

Thankfully.

I want Hibs to win every game they play and thus every tournament they are in

Already regretting not getting cup top up.
Should we still play the kids ?

[Keith_M]

I just heard the draw for the first round.

This has gotta be a wind-up, surely?

That would be a mistake IMO. It would be stupid to get any injuries, suspensions or even tiredness from playing the later stages of this p1shy competition that results in us dropping any points in the league. Promotion is a must and we can't let this p1sh get in the way of that.

Suppose now we might get beat in the first round after making a wad of cash though.

I don't accept the laying down a marker/psychological edge theory either as regularly pumping the huns in the league last season didn't do us any good when it really mattered.
