[MWHIBBIES]

Huns at ER

Huns at ER

Think they may be seeded as one of the group winners, maybe next round

Huns at ER

That could get very nasty indeed. The hun seethe after the cup final is still at explosive levels.












LOVE IT :greengrin

[NikGunnarsson]

Would love Mwell away. Big crowd down to see the famous Edinburgh Hibees hump them. Think we could easily beat them by a couple of goals and would put a marker down beating a premiership side.

Killie away for me!

Why do we want an away tie???

The apparent "weakest" team at home will do for me. As much as the cups aren't a priority this season I still want us to get as far as possible

[Paisley Hibby]

Dundee would be a great draw for us 😉

[Just Jimmy]

Any one bar celtic at home.

If they start getting wide we can just run on the pitch and start leathering them.

[danhibees1875]

Didn't realise it would be seeded. Home to Stirling Albion for me!

How many teams progress from the groups/are in the next round? The OP suggests there are 8 seeded teams which would suggest that there are 16 teams (12 coming from the 8 groups) - so is it the 8 winners and 4 best placed second teams? (If so, Stirling Albion may not be an option)

8 group winners and the top 4 2nd place winners qualify, along with the 4 seeded teams inc Hibs

[Bishop Hibee]

East Fife at home.

[hibbysam]

Queens Park away for me.

[CorrieHibs]

Going to be even worse if played at the Greyskull Arena

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Dundee would be a great draw for us 😉

Not according to Darren O'Dire.

[KeithTheHibby]

Ross County out already?

[Finn2015]

Will be interesting. Hopefully a nice draw that give us great chance to progress

[Hamish]

Dunfermline killed as a club tonight.

[Swedish hibee]

Ross County hahaha 😂😂😂

[brog]

Dundee would be a great draw for us 

Dundee not sure to be in the draw. Neither are Killie or Well though Killie did well to come back from 2 down tonight.

[Sir David Gray]

As things stand tonight the last 16 draw is as follows;

SEEDS

Aberdeen
Celtic
Hearts
Hibs
Alloa
Ayr Utd
Partick Thistle
Sevco

NON-SEEDS

East Fife
Greenock Morton
Inverness CT
St Johnstone
Dundee Utd
Motherwell
Stirling Albion
Raith Rovers

There's 19 matches still left to play.

[MWHIBBIES]

Was at Livi vs Ayr tonight. If we don't hammer Ayr in all 4 games I'll be worried, very poor. Livi could go down again.

[monktonharp]

I didn't want to be overly greedy, but yes lennons used to being expected to win the treble so why change it😂

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

If we get Sevco at Ibrox or ER, it will be absolute chaos.

[Billy Whizz]

If we get Sevco at Ibrox or ER, it will be absolute chaos.

We can't, we're both seeded

[MWHIBBIES]

If we get Sevco at Ibrox or ER, it will be absolute chaos.No it won't. There will be a heavy police present and it will go down without any violence at all.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

No it won't. There will be a heavy police present and it will go down without any violence at all.

No, Not in the slightest... It doesn't get any better than winning the Scottish Cup. In fact, had we won the league cup there is a good case to be had that Stokes would still have been pished in Inverness by the Wednesday that would have bombed us out.

It's on after United game, so probably 5ish Sean. Would imagine Radio Scotland will cover it after the game mate.

Noticed that aswell, then when St Johnstone V Hearts were pulled out he said "another premiership tie"

:agree:

Complete fud.

Not a very exciting draw.

Would have preferred a Premier team

[SteveHFC]

Rangers at home against Peterhead. Fixed.

I'd have thought St Johnstone and the filth will be one of the games.

St Johnstone v Hearts

That's another year without a sniff of this beautiful major trophy!

[Skyegreen]

I noticed no mention of our big team neebors terrible track record in this major cup competition 😵🙄

Rangers at home against Peterhead. Fixed.

When they played a League fixture at Peterhead a few years back, it was the only time in the history of the town where there were more registered sex offenders outside the prison walls than inside.

Plenty time PB . We played Raith seven times last season 😡

I know I shouldn't but I had a wee look on sickback . Here's just one of their posts .
How do we get the most difficult draw, season after season after season? Sick of watching these draws knowing we'll get a *****r every year. **** off.

But they got an easy draw last season in the Scottish cup , a bye according to the texts I received :) girfuy

They have a ****in cheek !! In 98 they never played a top flight team till the final , Even then they rode there luck with Sally Mcmoist getting a free kick on the edge of the box when he was CLEARLY tripped in the box with seconds to go .


2006 they beat Gretna on spot kicks in the final, Nuff said

2012 - Craig Thompson.

They have a ****in nerve moaning about draws when what seems there whole life have had piss easy draws!!


My laddie isn't even a teenager and has had his hands on the League cup and the Scottish cup so GIFRUY Puddle drinking cheating stealing low life creeps!!!

Any excuse to mask the fact that they haven't won the League Cup for over 50 years. That's a disgrace. Even the Forth Road Bridge wasn't up at the time. Knowing their luck they probably played away to Dunfermline or Raith Rovers in the earlier round and had to swim the forth.

May the bad luck continue.

[MKHIBEE]

To be fair, Like yer Man Utds, Chelsea and that, huge clubs like Hearts actually try to get pumped out in the early stages by playing reserves/youths so that they can concentrate on the Champions league... genius eh! hence the term "Diddy Cup".

I'm sure if you were to check the hertz starting 11s in these ties over the last few years the teams will not have included their major household names. That helpful London Hertz statto chap will be able to assist no doubt. :greengrin

Last season they got a home tie in a tournament that they have a special relationship with, against a lower league side who hadn't won the competition for 114 years. They were then 2-0 up with 10 minutes left and still managed to **** it up. Cannae blame the draw for that [emoji1]
Also can't blame the draw for an inability to win the league cup for 50+ years...and counting [emoji471]

Last Scottish Cup, they get home draw against lower league opposition. 2-0 and they ****ed it up. Get another bite at lower league opposition..... and they **** it up.

In the Europa, they get crappy Maltese opposition ..... and they **** it up.

What makes it even harder to take for your average Yam as they failed to stop us winning it!

Prior to the replay Jobbie the Caveman said we were easier to play against with diagonal good balls our weakness.

I must admit we rode our luck with them having a perfectly good goal chalked off for offside but for me that was superb.

Even when you see footage from their end they are calling Cummings a 'reject!' Absolutely priceless.

Them failing to beat us hurts even more than us winning it.

Totally agree - although both their goals were offside. The closest one to being on was Cummings at tynecastle!

After winning our 10th major trophy its the perfect time for an 11th!

Their goal in first half at ER was chalked off and incorrectly!

I was directly in line with it and it wasn't even close.

There is a video on YouTube. Cummings scores in the replay but it's being filmed from their end.

Said at the draw yesterday that there will be 3 televised ties. I think you can take it that Rantic will be two of the ties, and I would guess Saintees v Jambos will be the other. To be played Tues, Weds and Thurs nights.

I thought they said two games would be televised, which should be the two stand out games of Celtc vs Motherwell and St Johnstone vs the Yams.

But I predict your prediction of Celtc and Sevco will be correct.

Not been announced as yet. Don't know what the delay is but with the match less than a week away it will have to be very soon. Maybe the tickets are stuck in the same container as the new home strips.

[Finn2015]

Confirmed today can't get time off work. Gutted

[Kojock]

Confirmed today can't get time off work. Gutted

Here's a bit advice.
1/ Hibs playing
2/ Look at shift rota
3/ Working and don't think you will get time off or shift change.
4/ DONT ask for time off or a shift change
5/ Throw a sickie
6/ Don't sit anywhere in the stadium where there is a possibility you may be on the TV cameras.
7/ Don't post photos of you sitting on the cross bar on social media.
8/ Take the following shift off as well to make your 'illness' more believable to your boss.
