Not the worst draw ever but I'm in the camp that wants the easiest possible route - lower league team at home (guess which club got that?).
I certainly don't fear going to Tynecastle but it'll be a classic game for Potter - freezing cold, rubbish pitch with long balls, 11 men behind the ball and lumps being kicked out of us.
We could easily be without McGinn and have picked up some injuries given our run of games in December/January.
Also, after Newco's extraordinary, one in a million run of home games in the cup, we're now away to Hearts AGAIN.
I'm not one for conspiracies but some odd outcomes here.

Regardless, it's not a fix. It's a coincidence.Mon the Hibs.

I would tend to look at the statistics, if the odds are say 3 billion to one then the most obvious answer is its fixed

If it was a fix they’d hardly make it obvious for any average joe watching the telly to notice would they?

FFS they sent all the cops to ibrox for a non existent party and couldn't keep a few exuberant hibbies off the pitch at Hampden.

There were 32 teams in the draw so it was 1 in 31 that we would get Hearts. What happened in the past does not affect those odds.

And we now know that they're both dishonest too.
The reason that the SFA, an organisation of which Petrie and Budge are an important part, wanted that fixture in the first round still eludes me, but it's as obvious as the nose on your face that it was fixed.

I think the poster was asking the odds of us being paired together 3 years in a row. I wasn't great at statistics, but think that would be (if it was the round of 32 every time, which I'm not sure it was) 31 x 31 x 31. 1 in 29,791.
Edit, I've just noticed he asked about the home/away thing being the same. I'll pass on that.

In 2016 we played Raith before playing Hearts.
In 2017 we played Bonnyrigg before playing Hearts.
This is the first year out of three we have them in our first game.

Had a quick look over the road as well. you would think it was them unbeaten in 8. amazing what a ****ty unfinished stand does for your confidence. don't even want to win at Tynie, take the draw to make them suffer sunshine on Leith again :)

In last 2, there were 31.
Therefore, the chance calculation is 63 x31x31 = 60543.
I think.

If it's fixed then it's been fixed in Hibs favour. Our cup wins against them are partly responsible for the good feeling at the club right now, long may that continue.
P.S. it's not a fix, simply coincidental good fortune.
