They've just redrawn the 3rd round of the Cup. Ball number 6 (Banks o' Dee) came out, but the blazer held it upside down and announced it as 9 (Brora Rangers). Later on ball 9 came out and the place collapsed in confusion. Rather than correct the incorrect earlier announcement they held a full redraw.
These people are in charge of the national game.

**** happens. Doesn’t really seem like something to get particularly worked up about though.

Scottish football is an industry that turns over serious money and it's regressing because it's run by a clique of self perpetuating erseholes who couldn't organise bingo in an old folks home.

That happened for the quarter final draw, the year we won it I think.

They ****ed the LC semi final draw a few years back, had the incident with the open ball for the Scottish 2 seasons back, had Stubbs confuse a 6 and a 9 last season and now this.

I never bother with the draws in the early rounds.
I just wait to see who we play at Hampden...

Would also have though that surely by now a software developer would have put out a program which would automate the draw so as to avoid the possibility of some idiotic human making that sort of mistake.

The SFA can't cope with the responsibility of facilitating a draw. I'd like to see it outsourced to some Egyptian organisation and hieroglyphics introduced.
Hibs could be a harp.

There's an incompetence and conceitedness that pervades this 'old boy's network'.
The whole organisation needs restructured an restaffed from top to bottom to make it more inclusive and forward thinking to carry out the job of governance but I won't hold my breath.
They are a national embarrassment.

You'd really think they'd at least be able to get this right 6 and 9 are both prominent in 1690 which features frequently in many aspects of their lives.
They could maybe make the 6 blue and the 9 red?

I thought they used the kinder surprise method when doing the draw these says. These things taken in Isolation are minor, but when you add everything up it shows them up to be complete amateurs, that aren’t fit to run the game.
United we stand here....

Is it just me, but surely the simple solution is to just have the words six and nine on the balls would fix this?

Can’t believe all the balls HAVE to be consecutively numbered - 1 to 16, 1 to 32 or whatever.
1 to 18 or 1 to 34 without balls 6 & 9 would work.

How this is even still an issue is unbelievable. Just draw a line under the 6 and the 9 respectively to show which way up it should be read... If this is how it's done (I'm sure it is) and they still can't work it out then the folk drawing the numbers should be bulleted. It's not rocket science. Surely they are briefed before hand if this is the case. Would take 10 seconds to explain if somehow needed.
