    Neither they should be, we have a good recent record at Tincastle and we're hitting a bit of form which will only get better.

    There will be no pressure on us when we play them IMO and our fans will relish going to the PBS as cup holders.

    I don't know why as Cathro's alpha male personality should rub off on them and get them well up for it.

    They are the Premiership team and will still be the favourites.

    They are even claiming that the draw is rigged against them. Superb scenes!

    I don't like this when we go in as clear favourites.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    Of course there will be pressure on us, there's pressure in every derby and even more so going there as holders. Confident that, if we do have to play Hearts, we can get the job done.

    Lennons influence and winner mentality may be vital in this one.

    Poor wee souls. They have been lucky with the last three draws. 2 at home and all against teams from the league below. Wish we had that kind of luck. It is laughable that the draw is done by a drunk and Stubbsy, who doesn't know his sixes from nines, with the balls stationery between draws and no-one watching as they were placed in the pot. It's not exactly the wildest conspiracy theory to suggest something is going on. It would be amazing to see the odds on The Rangers home draws or Edinburgh Derby games over the last few years.

    Got to page 5/6 of that thread and then the shutters came down and I've been bumped off the forum.

    Must still be holding the post mortem after today's shambles.

    I think they've shut it down while they argue amongst themselves about who they'd rather lose to. The smart money appears to on the replay with raith as it would be less painful.

    I'm now hoping the Jambottlers make it through the replay. Would love to put them out again. Love it.

    Also fancy seeing our managers up against each other. I reckon one scowl from Neil and Cathy will start crying.

    It's a great draw for both clubs. We get to pump them again and they get chance to knock us of our champions perch. For me although I'm confident it's still a hard game

    Hilarious to hear they're discussing preferring to lose the Raith replay seriously. How times have changed since their artificial financially doped days. Looking forward to what will be a tough tie but one we'll go into with confidence and imo a far better squad and a manager who will have the edge over Cathro experience wise.

    It was amatuerish even by Scottish football standards. A pished up Rod Stewart, really? Whoever had that idea needs sacked.

    Interesting reading

    Last season it was all about, yippee a chance to smash the hobo peg selling vermin and put them in their place, not quite so confident this time, though most of the puddle drinkers are seeing it as a chance to right last seasons wrong and still giving it the old "what's to worry about, its only Hibs" mantra.

    From my point of view there are very few players in our team who aren't aware of the magnitude of the game and who haven't played in it before, whereas the Yams are going into this one with a few players and a manager new to the derby ...... the Yams will try to put them in the picture, but as we have found in the past that doesn't always have the desired effect. As for their manager .... can anybody imagine him giving a rousing call to arms in the dressing room?

    This is a tough draw no doubt about it and a few weeks ago I would have been worried that we don't have the same ammunition we did going into this game last season ...... but the Dundee Utd game has allayed that quite a bit, we now have pace on both wings and SJM, Fyvie and McGeouch back playing, not to mention Marvin Bartley having his best game of the season as well ..... they will be forced to go for it at home and hopefully that will play right into our hands with our midfield having the ability to spring attacks on the counter.

    The biggest danger to us will be from set pieces .... the Yams delivery into the box, at least in the first half, was pretty good today and I still feel that defending these is our Achilles heel, especially with the Yams having the usual giants throughout the team. We will have to be careful not to give away corners or free kicks around our box.

    The Yams seem to think we will be complacent about this game given how things went last time around ..... with Lennon in charge I'm 100% confident that is the one thing we wont be.

    All this presuming the Yams can get past RR of course
