Todays games and the draw (Hibs v Ayr Utd)

[Callum7]

Dundee V united just kicked off and after that we'll see who we next face in the league cup. :hyper

[PISTOL1875]

A few tidies in the Dundee end giving it laldy.

[JJP]

Sight of Scott Allan still pisses me off. Hope Sam Stanton has a good game.

[PISTOL1875]

Old news.

[heretoday]

United don't appear to have a striker so they'll likely lose this.

[hibs#1]

Utd are not very good.

[hfc rd]

Hardly any chances thus far for both sides. Dundee do look the better team so far.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

A few tidies in the Dundee end giving it laldy.

What's a tidy?

[SirDavidsNapper]

United look extremely poor

[H18 SFR]

Dundee look nice and tight and comfortable on the ball without really creating much though.

Rangers winning 1 nil @ Sheff Wed

[hibee_girl]

Dundee Utd 1-0 up

[Callum7]

0-1 united

[High-On-Hibs]

Hopefully united win this.... just to see McCanns mug afterwards.

[heretoday]

1-0 United - McMullan.

[Billy Whizz]

Is Rod doing the draw today?

[hibsbollah]

Rangers winning 1 nil @ Sheff Wed

They were better than I thought they'd be against Marseille last week.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Is Rod doing the draw today?

Petrie or Stewart?

[Callum7]

Nearly 1-1 but denied by the linesman as offside.

[Johnny_Leith]

Paul McMullan is a decent player

[Callum7]

1-1 now

[hibee_girl]

1-1 now

Scott Allan assist there, he's getting more involved now.

[SirDavidsNapper]

1-1 now

Scott Allan assist there, he's getting more involved now.

He'll be a tremendous signing for them

[18Hibee75]

Scott allan really getting into this game now, if only that boy changed his attitude at hibs could've earned him self a big money move to a big English club by now.

Wish we had pushed to get Allan back, terrific player

[Dalianwanda]

Wish we had pushed to get Allan back, terrific player

I think our midfield looks fine without him. Plus the all seem to appreciate being with the club.

[21.05.2016]

Scott Allan should be playing at a far higher level than Dundee. The boy really has wasted himself. Such a fantastic talent but his attitude has let him down IMO.

[SanFranHibs]

I don't give a Brad Pitt about Scott Allan...I just want to know who we get in the next round :greengrin

[Pete]

Dundee look better than United so I hope United sneak a win.

I take it the winners will be seeded and we can therefore be drawn against them.

[Hibby70]

Has McDonald touched the ball yet. Finished.

[Frazerbob]

What dates are the next round of games?

[Billy Whizz]

What dates are the next round of games?

A week on Tuesday 8th/ Wednesday 9th

I presume you fancy Aberdeen away😄

[Pete]

United are absolutely hopeless. I'll be putting a fiver on Falkirk for the league.

Just get the penalties going please.

[E10 Rifle]

Hope we get Hearts...oh wait :brokenyam:

[Callum7]

Game now gone too penalties.

[hibee_girl]

Dundee derby goes to penalties.

[lucky]

Take either of them in the next round. Two poor teams.

[Billy Whizz]

Take either of them in the next round. Two poor teams.

Take United at ER

[Keyser Sauzee]

Rather take United out of the 2, do they need to win for us to draw them?

[Frank Moon]

These teams don't have a cutting edge. Would be happy taking on any of the two.

[Diclonius]

No post-Butcher Hibs season is complete without an Easter Road tie v Dundee United.

[Callum7]

Dundee United win on 4-3 penalties

[hibee_girl]

Dundee Utd win on penalties, they finish top of the group.

I got no issue with that; they are playing in different leagues this year so maximize their meetings. Its not as crazy as the Dundee United-Celtic weekly match-ups a few years ago.

[Sir David Gray]

Says on sportsound we are unseeded, why if we topped the group?

There's 16 teams left, half of them are seeded and half unseeded. 4 of the seeds are Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and St Johnstone. There were 8 groups and only 4 slots available for seeding purposes so only the best 4 group winners were seeded and we weren't one of them. The other 4 group winners and the best 4 runners up were the non seeds.

[Hermit Crab]

When's the game likely to be played?


8th or 9th of August.

An interesting outcome of the Dundee derby. United won on penalties and were seeded at No8 and Dundee unseeded at No16. The last game in the draw was No 16 at home versus No8.

Was last season
Morton v aberdeen

I think that just happened to be the case, rather than there being any set in stone rule that the League Cup semis must now be played at Hampden.

Both Morton and Aberdeen only announced confirmation of it being at Hampden a few weeks before the game. Presumably if it was always going to be at Hampden then that wouldn't have been necessary.

It was against Arbroath and season tickets weren't valid.

[Keith_M]

The rule about all Semi-Finals being played at Hampden only applies to the Scottish Cup, not the League Cup.

It's because the SFA were the ones that made the decision about redeveloping Hampden and want to make full use of it.

I will be aye. FFS it's only the 2 cup trophies we've got any chance of winning. And you want to chuck one in because it doesn't pay enough???
Mental.
I stand to be corrected, but the year we won the Scottish Cup (love writing that!)
The "prize" money for winning the League Cup was greater.
So yes, irrespective of prize money, i am in the "lets win the League Cup" camp any day of the week.

It could be argued now that it is a tougher cup to win .More games to be played.

PS
Kickback would be loving to have such a debate this day

[stantonhibby]

Or the open top bus parade for finishing 4th.

[hfc rd]

Group winners should be seeded regardless but anyway, aye its a ***** comp that nobody really cares about winning. (except hearts)


The league cup and Scottish cup are the only two realistic competitions we have of winning. Saying that nobody cares of winning the league cup is ridiculous and makes you sound like a yam.

[SRHibs]

Aye, we were all smiles after we lost the final to County right enough. Was just the pishy wee League Cup eh.

[Keith_M]

I honestly don't know why anybody's rising to his bait.

Best ignored.

[Hibbyradge]

Yes i would.

We'd make a lot more money from a long cup run than a July game against some team from Azerbaijan that we haven't heard of, but would probably knock us out.

How is that good for the club? If you're so desperate for a trip abroad, go on a holiday.

You're preaching to the converted mate.

Neither is a semi or a final.

Nott sure what your point is. Still gutted Hearts got beat. :greengrin

Absolutely PMSL...... well played, sir!

[Mick O'Rourke]

You're preaching to the converted mate.
Indeed i am
i really was directing that to the guy you were responding to

[MyJo]

Can you imagine if the Yams are forced to play thier first 11 home games at Murrayfield because the new stand wasn't ready and the first game to be played in front of it is us in a semi-final for the league cup in October.

The seethe would be magnificent.

[Billy Whizz]

Back to the draw, going to be a tough game, as Ayr have started the season well. Strangely enough they have gone full time since getting relegated, were part time in the championship last season.

Game ties in fine, between Partick and Rangers, gives some of suspended and new players some game too

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the final in 07, as did 30k other Hibby's. Didn't see any of them not really caring

[Slavers]

I think winning the league cup should have euro spot or entered into a play off with 3rd or 4th placed in the league for the last euro place.

[Hermit Crab]

Aye, where are they now?

[Hermit Crab]

Were you at any of the 2007, 91, 72 Finals.?


Yes.

Who?

[SirDavidsNapper]

Only big clubs like Hearts don't care about the LC. I'd be beside myself if we won it again and seriously hope we win it this season.

[dchibs]

I edited that post
I would agree with your comment on venues

It is just that another poster wrote earlier "Semi's to be played at Hampden now"
pop
Looking like I'll just have.to look out my Hampden ST again😀🇳🇬🏆

[Jack Hackett]

Aye, where are they now?

Time for another pill?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I will be aye. FFS it's only the 2 cup trophies we've got any chance of winning. And you want to chuck one in because it doesn't pay enough???

I think the prize money is greater for winning the league cup due to sponsorship

[SRHibs]

Aye, where are they now?

Surely that contradicts your point? Must have a degree of importance if people come out the woodwork for it.

[H18 SFR]

Any word of it's Tuesday or Wednesday?

[Roxyhibee]

Yes.

And those Cup Final victory days weren't as good or as memorable for you as the times we finished top 6 and/or got a Euro spot.?

[Shrekko]

Any word of it's Tuesday or Wednesday?

Won't need to worry about clashes with any other games in the city.

[supermcginn]

Yes i would.

What a complete lot of dung!

[Bishop Hibee]

1991 and 2007 were my finest hours watching Hibs until 21.5.16. Anyone who buys into the "wee cup" nonsense has been listening to too many yams.

[Roxyhibee]

Exactly. And I know Yams my age who state openly (and sober.!) that they would LOVE to win the League Cup. And the more they fail, the more all of them hurt over it that's for sure.

I've seen 5-0 Naples, 0-7 them, 1 nil Liverpool, 6-2, etc., loads of other great European nights and a good few league runner up finishes, - but, none of them even come close to the 3 League Cup Final victory days.

[Iggy Pope]

Who?

I recall one long time poster being locked out for daring to update on English football results! And here you are clearly trolling /phishing / attention seeking my friend.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Good draw for Hibs.

No surprises Rangers have been drawn at home, again. That's 12 times in a row now.

The probability of this happening is 1/4096, 0.025%. These draws are an utter farce.

hardly a red card offence is it?

Posters on here accuse me of being a Hearts fan, is that acceptable?

The same as the probability of them having HAHAHAHAHAHA. The same as the probability of 12 straight reds on the roulette table (which I've seen numerous times). Over 1000 games it would likely balance out but 12 is too small a sample size to show that there's really any wrongdoing.

That's what I thought too. And he got carded. Don't suppose such an accusation is acceptable, it's deplorable and I don't think for a minute you are. Little wonder when you review your spouting on this thread though. Stop acting like a Hearts ****?

They're still focused on that European Cup they were promised by Vlad.

Looks a good draw for us. If we get to the final we can have a .net raffle for Hermit Crabs' ticket.

Yep. But let's not let things like facts get in the way of his ridiculous opinion.

[heretoday]

Ayr might be tricky. Their fortunes are on the rise after being in the doldrums for decades.

[MWHIBBIES]

Ayr might be tricky. Their fortunes are on the rise after being in the doldrums for decades.They got relegated with a whimper last season from the league that we won. No excuse for not winning this game.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Ayr might be tricky. Their fortunes are on the rise after being in the doldrums for decades.

I agree, they've been on fire in the League cup, winning their group, scoring the most goals, being the top seed from the groups and they've also gone full time (weird on considering they were part time in the Championship last season) and signed some good players. We should win easily, but if we take our eye off the ball they have got what it takes to punish us. We need a professional performance on the 8/9 August and we will be in the Quarter finals.

Taken out of context that sounds like a really trivial thing to get temporarily banned for.
