Draw next round - Raith Rovers/Hearts v Hibs

[Jonnyboy]

Jonnyboy, interesting, thought there was a lot more than that. Could easily let us buy an additional one for a season ticket holder😳

Number surprised me too, Billy

[JimBHibees]

Got to be said the draw should have been done again clearly looked like pissed Rod was looking in to see numbers so he could give Celtic a home draw.

[blackpoolhibs]

Great draw, can't wait to be there at that one. :top marks

[Billy Whizz]

Can't change goalposts again

What goalposts

Can't see that being entertained. There would be a riot.

[Itsnoteasy]

What goalposts

The goalposts being that you think you should be allowed to buy an extra ticket for another season ticket holder.

[lucky]

Ticket scramble is going to fun especially if it at the PBS

[Baldy Foghorn]

What goalposts

Getting an extra ticket wasn't what you signed up for, and fine well you know it

[emerald green]

I would have preferred a home tie, but I guess not every club can be The Rangers when it comes to the luck of the draw.

That said, they've got what appears to be a tricky tie against Greenock Morton. As ever, with games against the Ibrox outfit, a lot often depends on the away team getting fair treatment from the referee and linesmen.

It wasn't, but thought they might just give us a little extra reward

[Baldy Foghorn]

Nope

[inglisavhibs]

When Hertz drew Raith in the last round, I did mention I hoped we'd get Raith in the this round if we got there. Last 4(?) teams to beat Raith going on to win the cup and all that. If Hertz get through I'll be nervous! 😕

Not worried about who we play but more concerned that we take our eye of the ball in the league games before and after the cup tie.

[Billy Whizz]

Nope

Don't ask, don't get

Why are we banging on about TRFC getting another home draw. They havnae won the trophy.

[Waxy]

Its ridiculous they dont swish the balls around at all.In this day they should be getting some kind of lottery machine to do the draws.was it not so long ago they had the club names in some kind of plastic ball? One burst open in the pot half way through a draw and they had to scrap it.

[Itsnoteasy]

Don't ask, don't get

That's true.

Well you have asked and you'll no be getting.

[Billy Whizz]

Why are we banging on about RFC getting another home draw. They havnae won the trophy since 2009.

They havnae won it ever

True

Edited original post. Well spotted

[Hibsfan42]

Don't see what was so bad about draw - so they made a wee mistake and Rod had had a few.. big deal!

Thought Rod was teetotal now?

mibby he is! I suppose i was just trying to say i don't care whether the draw is super slick or not :-)

[DaveF]

Got to be said the draw should have been done again clearly looked like pissed Rod was looking in to see numbers so he could give Celtic a home draw.

He was looking at every ball he picked out, but given the state he was in I'd be surprised if he could focus properly.

[emerald green]

I know the new club haven't won the trophy. That's not my point. They keep getting home draws nonetheless. That's my point.

PS: Even some of the trophies they actually "won" under Oldco are tainted IMO. But that's another story.

[wookie70]

It isn't the fact the draw was embarrassing it is the fact it could be made to at least look like it was impossible to rig. That should be the number one priority of those organising the draw. Having people with a vested interest looking into the pot whilst drawing a ball with a number on the side doesn't exactly look foolproof.

Amateurish would be the way I'd describe it. But hey, what's new? :rolleyes:

[silverhibee]

Sacking a manager after 10 games or so. Right then.

Swansea sacked Bob after 11 games.

[Billy Whizz]

Swansea sacked Bob after 11 games.

They can afford it SH

He must have had x-ray vision. There was a rubber seal over the balls.

Maybe all the bevvy gave him super power vision :greengrin

[Swedish hibee]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Just watched Rod online. Embarrassing🙈

[Itsnoteasy]

There's no debate to be had really.

Away STs 1st then ST holders. 1 each. It will sell put at that point.

It should be away ST 1st
ST holders 2nd
Half ST holders 3rd

[Itsnoteasy]

I think the bevvy gives us all super powers.

I know that Billy, was just pointing it out that it can happen.

[Waxy]

Of the three times we've won the Scottish cup, we've knocked hearts out on the way twice.

[Billy Whizz]

As long as they don't do it the week before the cup game, if they get through

[Itsnoteasy]

We sacked Sauzee after 69 days.

[SteveHFC]

If it's hearts wonder if they'll bring back loyalty points for this or are they expecting all season ticket holders to go for so many tickets.

Think I'll be queuing up over night if so.

It's the only way it can be done. How can they start to introduce loyalty points. That was controversially scrapped.

[GreenCastle]

Record time this will sell out.

No chance they can bring back the loyalty points.

[SteveHFC]

Can see everyone wanting to go queuing up overnight like the old days. :hyper

[wookie70]

Queuing up overnight is probably the fairest way they could do it but you would then have the problem of how may tickets could you buy. I would want one for me and three season ticket holding kids. Do they all need to be there or can I get all 4 tickets. There is only one decent way to do this and the club scrapped it last year.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Its a hard draw, and they will (rightly) be favourites, being at home, league above etc

But i think we have a good chance. We are quite pbysically strong, have a fairly good mentality and are full of scottish lads that know what it takes in games like these.

Truth is, they are a very unknown quantity and have some reallu tough games coming up. BUT... they do still habe some really good players who are capable of hurting us.

Will be close. Wish we had an easier draw

[Hermit Crab]

He goes to every Hibs game though:confused:

Forget it S, he takes a year sabbatical and still comes back the same....

Good points. I managed to watch a good bit of their game today but they didn't overly impress me. They definitely miss the drive and goal threat of the guy who got injured. The only player who looked worth anything was walker who looks a bit of a handful but apart from that they were very ordinary and underwhelming. Their keeper looks a bit of a bomb-scare.

A decent team would have put two or three past them today. I fancy our chances if its the hertz barring the usual potential pitfalls of dodgy ref etcetera.

This is my overriding concern too mate...the slump last year followed the replay win over the Yams

Getting out this League has to be priority, if it is to be the Fuds, depending on the next 3 league games, we could be in a position to play a reserve side against them, and still give them a good game.

Absolutely mate....we must not let anything get in the way of winning this league...much as I want to knock them out if they manage to beat RR

[Galahibby]

I was hearing about how they always did well when the year ended in a six. How did that work out?

It's all a lot of mince. The only way you're guaranteed to win the cup if you beat Raith is if you play them in the final.

I don't recall saying anything was guaranteed, just that the draw made me a wee bit nervous :rolleyes:

[Gogs07]

The Huntz are keeking themselves already and they have no confidence of beating Raith in the replay!

They will get pumped in their next three league games and we will take care of Raith in the next round:hyper

Hibs have done well against the Yams in recent times, but we've all seen enough over the year never to underestimate them. Do so at your peril. They are a resourceful unit especially at the PBS when their backs against the wall and nothing (and I mean nothing) would make them happier than to knock us out of the cup. If Hibs and Lennon go into that game thinking we're favourites or just have to play decent to win, we'll get spanked. We'll need to play out of our skins.

All assuming the Yams can get past lowly Raith Rovers, of course :greengrin

There was clearly a gap where you could see through.

[Danderhall Hibs]

If hearts get through will they play the game at Tiny or will they try and cash in and move it to a bigger stadium?

[flash]

I know we have done this before but are unused subs cup tied?

[Hermit Crab]

No.

No.

Cheers. Interesting that neither Liam or Ryan Christie were used yesterday.

[Betty Boop]

PS: Even some of the trophies they actually "won" under Oldco are tainted IMO. But that's another story.



Are you seriously suggesting that Stubbs and Sir Rod :rolleyes:, somehow were in cahoots with the SFA, to ensure Rangers got a home draw ? They're both Celtic minded.

I seem to remember ourselves getting plenty of home draws for a spell. Nobody was calling foul then. Quite the opposite, I remember those that bought the cup top-up being positively delerious.

Luck of the draw.

Doesn't actually seem to have done them any good trophy wise either :greengrin

We got loads of home draws in both the league cup and scottish cup last season. Don't think there is any dodgy business going on, the huns have just been jammy.

Nah I'm not suggesting that there was anything untoward going on. As everyone knows, everything in Scottish football is always level and above board. Just look at how The Rangers and Heart of Midlothian operated not all that long ago for example. :rolleyes:

I'm just disappointed that the luck of the draw has favoured The Rangers yet again. I don't like them, and would have liked them to get a very difficult draw and get knocked out of the competition. Simple as that basically.

See above. Yes the luck of the draw. They've had more than their fair share of that down through the years.

[silverhibee]

As long as they don't do it the week before the cup game, if they get through


Will more than likely be the Monday after we have played them that weekend. :wink: :greengrin

If they win on Wednesday.
