I’ve got a funny wee feeling it’s gonna be the Harry Wraggs away - repeat of 2 nil from ‘72 would be very nice

[Billy Whizz]

I’m presuming if Celtic beat Buckie, the above will be the order
Hibs will be ball 8

[SHODAN]

Rangers v Bonnyrigg
Celtic v Brora/Cove
Hearts v Hibs

Guaranteed.

[Green Reaper]

Watching Morton on Sportscene and seeing the bench seating behind the goals takes me back to an absolutely Baltic trip there about 85', have a feeling that's where we're going

[He's here!]

Anyone but Hearts.

[greenlex]

I’m presuming if Celtic beat Buckie, the above will be the order
Hibs will be ball 8
If it’s alphabetical it won’t matter who wins today or indeed the other tie if it was played today. We would remain ball 8

[Bishop Hibee]

Anyone but Hearts.

I’d be ok about drawing them at home assuming they’ll be minus Shankland.

[FastEddieFelson]

Ayr United away to keep the retro away day theme going for the campaign.

Yep would love that

[Mcbizz1998]

I’d be ok about drawing them at home assuming they’ll be minus Shankland.

Nah, can’t be bothered with Hibs finding another way to make
an arse of it v them.

[scoopyboy]

A home tie against a team beginning with B please

[zitelli62]

Mystic Meg says motherwell or hearts.

[xbar81]

Obviously you'd love someone else to put the old firm out. But if we are to draw them it's best to get them at home now rather than Hampden in the semi or final which is basically a home game for them as it's Glasgow.


Hearts at home isn't a bad draw, Hearts away and I will vomit (was out drinking last night :sick:

[Hibby70]

Hibs v Morton
Rangers v Hearts
Aberdeen v Celtic

[Billy Whizz]

I think Christian (Cheat) Dailly is doing the draw, not sure with who else
Be nice if Rod Stewart made an appearance sometime in the future😀

[HFC93]

Airdrie away is my prediction.

[Eaststand]

Airdrie away is my prediction.

And Megwa will become the first player in history to get MoTM for both teams in the same match 😉

GGTTH

[Garymcl]

First and foremost a home draw if not away tie against lower league team I think we’ll get an away game against spl team you heard it hear first :greengrin

[Keith_M]

Hearts at Tynecastle.

[wookie70]

Hoping for Bonnyrigg at ER so we probably get through and they get a good pay day. I think we may get a shocker though Celtic or The Rangers away, it just feels like one of those seasons

[Hibees1973]

All of these teams in the draw wouldn't fear playing us anyway whatsoever.

[BlackSheep]

Live on Sportscene….? Is it not on right after the Celtic game on Viaplay?

[JimBHibees]

All of these teams in the draw wouldn't fear playing us anyway whatsoever.

All :faf:

[Jones28]

I’ll say Hearts at home.

[MKHIBEE]

It will be Brora or Cove away on a Friday night

[Glory Lurker]

I wonder when the last time was no non league teams were in this round (if Brora lose)?

[cabbageandribs1875]

predict it will be Ayr

[Donegal Hibby]

Home tie against the weakest team in it please .
Prediction Hibs v Livvy

[Pagan Hibernia]

Hearts at Tynecastle.

It's inevitable.

[Tambo]

Bonnyrigg at home with hearts away to Celtic or rangers please.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

When was the last time we played celtic or rangers early in the Scottish Cup? Been a while...

[Ronniekirk]

We are surely due a visit to Airdrie

[Pagan Hibernia]

When was the last time we played celtic or rangers early in the Scottish Cup? Been a while...

Celtic at home in 2019? A meek 0-2 surrender that was an early and ominous warning about heckingbottom

[HH81]

I reckon Aberdeen at home.

[Ringothedog]

It's inevitable.

It’s not really, there are 14 other clubs we could get

[Aldo]

Hearts will get the easiest team at home with the ugly sister the next two lowest ranked teams.

Aberdeen away is my predication.

[Pagan Hibernia]

It’s not really, there are 14 other clubs we could get

After 2016, 2017, and 2018 I now expect it every year

[Lago]

We are surely due a visit to Airdrie
Nooo been there many years ago easy game they said home to Airdrie, didn't turn out that way:confused:

[Glory Lurker]

Nooo been there many years ago easy game they said home to Airdrie, didn't turn out that way:confused:

We've never played this lot. Last six games against the old club from that town were all Hibs wins.

[mcohibs]

Is the draw likely to be at the end of the programme?

[Bobby's Cinema]

I have a feeling it will be a Motherwell/ Killi/ St Mirren away. A tie with another big expectant Hibs support.

[Billy Whizz]

You usually end up with a team you played the week before or the week after the cup game
So it will be either St Mirren, Celtic or Aberdeen!

[Rick Rude]

Last few years they've not done a particularly good job of mixing the balls up after putting them all in in alphabetical order hence why we keep getting hearts. Expect the same again.

[Pagan Hibernia]

So the draws not for another hour?? I'll be as sloshed as Rod Stewart by then ffs

[Colr]

I’ll take Bonnyrigg at home please🧇

Reserved for Celtic

[Pescarese]

And Megwa [if we draw Airdrie] will become the first player in history to get MoTM for both teams in the same match 😉

GGTTH

That's a good thought, but if we draw Airdrie, Megwa gets the day off. He'd be ineligible for us, as he's already turned out for Airdrie. And ineligible for them, as he can't play against his parent club.

[HibbyAndy]

James Mcfadden looks haggard , Nae hair and bags under his eyes

[Pretty Boy]

I'd quite like Patrick Thistle away. A trip to Glasgow without the baggage. Also always enjoyed Morton away so wouldn't mind that either.

That's fan talk though. From a football point of view then the weakest team at home please.

[Lago]

We've never played this lot. Last six games against the old club from that town were all Hibs wins.
You sure seem to remember a cup game at ER which we lost, mind you I'm getting on now so memory may be playingvtricks:greengrin

Partick Thistle away is the one I want. So no chance of that. :greengrin

[EdinMike]

Not a betting man but I have a funny feeling on Aidrie or Morton…

Not to mention a trip to Glasgow where we actually have a chance of winning.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Just switched Sportscene on. Is our 30 seconds highlights been on yet?

[greenlex]

Think he loves his fags.

[Silky]

It's been on. I went for a pee and cam back and my boy told me I'd missed it! 🤣

[Mikey_1875]

Can’t see anyone that has taken Inverness yet so I will go for them! Probably at home.

[BoltonHibee]

Partick Thistle away is the one I want. So no chance of that. :greengrin

We’d most certainly want to avoid Partick if we want any chance to progress further

[bingo70]

Kilmarnock away is my guess.

[Glory Lurker]

You sure seem to remember a cup game at ER which we lost, mind you I'm getting on now so memory may be playingvtricks:greengrin

Oh aye, I remember that but it was against the real Airdrieonians. The current team of that name is the zombie corpse of Clydebank, maybe East Stirling, I can't remember the history there.

Whatever, have no fear about that lot!

Thank goodness, I remember my dear late father in law and myself sitting looking at each other in disbelief that night long ago :agree:

Away would do me. Love a wee trip to Inverness

[mcohibs]

James Mcfadden looks haggard , Nae hair and bags under his eyes

Clearly been watching a lot of Hibs games recently

[badabing67]

Dan Mackay seems to do well in the cup he scored yesterday

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Still pisses me off when they describe St Johnstone as "2021 scottish cup champions"

Whilst 100% correct, we messed up big time

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Dan Mackay seems to do well in the cup he scored yesterday

Just saw that. Involved in both goals

[Billy Whizz]

If it’s alphabetical it won’t matter who wins today or indeed the other tie if it was played today. We would remain ball 8

Hibs ball number 9

[1van Sprou7e]

Weird AC Milan style kit ICT were wearing yesterday, apparently was their away kit last season? Wonder why they had to dig it out again

[greenlex]

Hibs ball number 9
Greenock Morton rather than just plain old Morton. :greengrin

[hibee_girl]

Starting now

[Billy Whizz]

Greenock Morton rather than just plain old Morton. :greengrin

I thought about that at the time as well, honestly😀

[hibee_girl]

Killie v Brora Rangers or Cove Rangers

[hibee_girl]

ICT v Hibs

[Pretty Boy]

Inverness away.

Tough draw.

[hibee_girl]

Aberdeen v Bonnyrigg Rose

[cabbageandribs1875]

ICT away

[hibee_girl]

Greenock Morton v Motherwell

[Stuart93]

Sore one that

[Scorrie]

Inverness away.

Tough draw.

Monty v Big Dunc

[1van Sprou7e]

Take that although ICT are a bit of a cup team sometimes

[Ronniekirk]

difficult away tie

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic and Rangers still in there with not many to be drawn.....

[hibee_girl]

Airdrie v Hearts

[Lago]

ICT away
Don't fancy that

[hibee_girl]

Rangers v Ayr

[Up-the-slope]

Nice trip to Inverness... Stay in Pitlochry and head up on day of match :greengrin

[Stuart93]

We playing anything like yesterday & we’ll be sent doon the road packing

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers at home to a lower league club. Shock that is.

[badabing67]

Did we beat them away the last time we won the cup

[hibee_girl]

Partick Thistle v Livingston

[weecounty hibby]

Airdrie v Hearts

Diet **** v diet ****. Could be tricky for the tarts if shankland is away

[cabbageandribs1875]

eeeio eeeio
Airdrie
Airdrie

[hibee_girl]

St Mirren v Celtic

[hibee_girl]

Did we beat them away the last time we won the cup

Yep, when Oxley lost his contact lens

[Irish_Steve]

Did we beat them away the last time we won the cup

Yip, Oxley got booked ruling him out of the semi-final, enter stage left, one Conrad Logan!

[bod]

St Mirren v Celtic

That’ll be a telly game

[Aldo]

Did we beat them away the last time we won the cup

Quarter final replay. Oxley got booked for time wasting and the rest is history

[hibee_girl]

Our game must be in with a chance of being one of the BBC picks

[marinello59]

difficult away tie

Udder to be. I’m confident we take care of the current ICT team OK.

[Stuart93]

Udder to be. I’m confident we take care of the current ICT team OK.

Kudos to you. We struggled to take care of Forfar 🤣

[Scotty Leither]

Lower league opposition who have been utter crap any time I’ve seen them on TV.

More incentive to bring in some first-team starters this window to get us into last eight.

[Up-the-slope]

St Mirren v Celtic... they could go out second cup this season

[Pretty Boy]

Did we beat them away the last time we won the cup

We sure did. A few days after losing in the last minute in the LC final. Went up dreading it but we raced ahead early doors. Soke job by Stubbs to get the players focussed and great mental strength from the squad as well.

[Davy Mac]

Hopefully can ram it down that we erse's throat after his spouting yesterday on Sportsound about not being disappointed if Hibs went out today.

No doubt he'll be the local sportsound commentator and Robbo will be a giddy little tit hoping for an upset.

[cabbageandribs1875]

now


who do we want in the QF :whistle:

[Ozyhibby]

Udder to be. I’m confident we take care of the current ICT team OK.

We didn’t look very comfy taking care of Forfar? I’m not confident at all.

Hearts will be looking forward to the wee hǔn derby.

[IanM]

Time to give megwa back

[Tambo]

Always prefer a home tie but will take ICT away, will be a tough tie though.

There should be mostly premier teams in the QF.

[Davy Mac]

eeeio eeeio
Airdrie
Airdrie

Haven't heard that chant since i split up with my ex from Airdrie donkeys years ago. lol

[Trinity Hibee]

Might mean Hibs on BBC

[HH81]

Bet this could be tv game? Hopefully not Friday night slot.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

No the best draw. No the worst draw

[badabing67]

Yep, when Oxley lost his contact lens

Did we not beat them when we got to the final against STJ

[greenlex]

On our way to winning the cup in 2016 we beat a Ray McKinnon side and then Inverness. :greengrin

Robbo's ok

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Travelling back from London on the Friday, I'm hoping for a 3pm Saturday ko

[HibbyAndy]

Happy enough with that

[SteveHFC]

Yep, when Oxley lost his contact lens

still think to this day that Oxley took one for the team by stopping the game as we were under tremendous pressure at that point in game, don't think inverness played with same intensity after that stoppage

[one day maybe...]

Lower league opposition who have been utter crap any time I’ve seen them on TV.

More incentive to bring in some first-team starters this window to get us into last eight.

100% Correct.. Go up there, be professional regarding our approach and back down the road with the win..

[Davy Mac]

Robbo's ok

Aye ken, i know him so i can call him a little tit lol

[1van Sprou7e]

Send Megwa back

[Jim44]

If we can’t beat ICT away in a cup tie we deserve to be out. I am totally confident that we will win the tie.

[wookie70]

I enjoy a trip up there. Very much favourites to go through and another wee SC2016 coincidence, The quarters could be an all Premiership affair and whoever wins the cup will likely have had to beat a few top teams on the way

[Mikey_1875]

Tough one but got to be happy with lower league opposition. Decent trip if it avoids the tele.

[NC1875]

What weekends this likely to be played ?

[Billy Whizz]

Think TV have 4 picks in this round, 2 x BBC and 2 x Viaplay/Premier sports
They always take rangers and Celtic games
Possibly Airdrie v Hearts and Inverness v Hibs

Last season the TV games were played Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday

[SteveHFC]

What weekends this likely to be played ?

3 weeks time friday/sat/sun or dreaded monday

[Glory Lurker]

still think to this day that Oxley took one for the team by stopping the game as we were under tremendous pressure at that point in game, don't think inverness played with same intensity after that stoppage

Agree 100%. He could teach Craig Gordon a thing or two about killing a game.

[hibee_girl]

What weekends this likely to be played ?

Weekend of the 10th Feb

[HendoDelivered]

Tough game

[TelaStella]

Train strike that weekend? (10th) seems to all be rail replacement buses from queen street that day anyway.

Winnable tie but wouldn't exactly be a shock if this Hibs team lost.

Definitely need to up our game.

[Garymcl]

Cracking away trip overnight stay for our group 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[cabbageandribs1875]

Haven't heard that chant since i split up with my ex from Airdrie donkeys years ago. lol


i seem to recall myself and mates bevvying in the Albion Bar belting that out over and over :greengrin, they must have beaten Heartz but i can't find which cup it was or even what year





found it, 1992 4th April SC SF Airdrie 0 Heartz 0

replay 14th April 1-1 Airdrie won 4-2 on penalties

unfortunately Airdrie had beaten us at ER in the previous round 0-2 :boo hoo:

old Rangers beat Airdrie 2-1 in the final

[Wheat Hound]

Wont be the Friday night as we play Celtic on Wed 7th Feb at ER.

First I’ve heard about this and am surprised. We know he’s a Jambo but I always thought he was professional and rarely does a pundit actively and vocally express a dislike for a team and wish for their failure. If true, my scant respect for the wee, fat maroon turd has gone out of the window. I can only hope that his comments were tongue in cheek and reported out of context. :greengrin

[Carheenlea]

Don’t really get this “tough game” stuff?

They’re 3 points off the bottom of the championship with one more game played than the 3 below them. They’re hopeless.

Put in a performance like we did yesterday and yes, we could struggle, but this should be a straightforward progression for any half decent top flight side.

[Pagan Hibernia]

If we can’t beat ICT away in a cup tie we deserve to be out. I am totally confident that we will win the tie.

If we put in a defensive performance like we did yesterday then Inverness will beat us.

Most probably tongue in cheek as it was a throwaway remark on that open all mics abomination but who really knows what his real innermost feelings are. More to the point who really cares.

[bingo70]

Happy enough with that

Same, I’m surprised about the negativity of it (I’m not really 😂)

I thought Inverness were doing quite well but just looked at the league and they’re struggling. 7th in the league or something.

Definitely not an easy game but could have been a hell of a lot worse.

[greenlex]

If we put in a defensive performance like we did yesterday then Inverness will beat us.
That same defensive performance that kept a clean sheet?:confused:

[Colr]

Our game must be in with a chance of being one of the BBC picks

On Alba!

[hibsbollah]

Airdrie v Hearts

The Jimmy Sandison derby :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

iirc round boy Robbo has a brother that's a Hibby and another that's a sticky bun bun, chris Robertson rings a bell, i'm sure he played the game as well but can't remember who for

[Pagan Hibernia]

That same defensive performance that kept a clean sheet?:confused:

Come on, we were a shambles at times

I listened to it. It was banter.

He showed his true colours decades ago when he defied his employer and went to the mercer demo

[TrinityHibby]

Kudos to you. We struggled to take care of Forfar 🤣

Hibs were very lucky to beat Forfar in my opinion

[greenlex]

Come on, we were a shambles at times
A couple of saves and a header off the line. That was it. All good defensive things.
Can we mention our penalty miss and their keepers good saves as poor attacking moves for balance.

[SteveHFC]

i would say sat midday or monday night if we are on

Haven’t lost by more than one goal at home this season and a lot of the damage was done before Ferguson came in. It’s a game we should be winning of course but I think they will be a stuffy outfit and I wouldn’t say they are hopeless (relatively).

[marinello59]

Hibs were very lucky to beat Forfar in my opinion

We struggled but luck played no part in it.

[darwenhibby]

Hibs were very lucky to beat Forfar in my opinion

Think we all agree on that
Remember heart’s struggling to beat Auchinleck Talbot at this stage
They were crap in every round except in the final
Against Who??
Would take the same scenario for us

[badabing67]

On our way to winning the cup in 2016 we beat a Ray McKinnon side and then Inverness. :greengrin

It's written in the stars.

[Billy Whizz]

Tough few weeks of fixtures for Hibs around this game
Home to Celtic and away to Aberdeen, cup game sandwiched between these 2 massive games

[andrew70]

Wont be the Friday night as we play Celtic on Wed 7th Feb at ER.

That would just get moved to the Tues.

I hope it’s not 1215 Sat. Damp squib.

Albeit Celtic game is on TV and **** are on the Tues

[1875Sean]

Celtic and Rangers games will be televised and maybe one more? Think it will be between us or Aberdeen, prob Aberdeen after the Bonnyrigg build up in the highlights

[wookie70]

Same, I’m surprised about the negativity of it (I’m not really ��)

I thought Inverness were doing quite well but just looked at the league and they’re struggling. 7th in the league or something.

Definitely not an easy game but could have been a hell of a lot worse.

They had a single point when Ferguson took over after 6 games. Their form since then in terms of points per game would have them in a play off spot if applied to the whole season. Their form has dipped a wee bit but that is because they have been playing the teams that are on form in the last few fixtures. tricky tie but if we play OK we should get though

[hibby rae]

Balance? We're Hibs, one of the 5 biggest clubs in the country. They're in the 4th tier. There's no symmetry there. I thought we were awful.

We were but the fact is we defended when we had to and scored. Same again at Inverness will do just fine.

They won’t move the Celtc game to the Tuesday now. We just won’t be picked as the Friday night game in the cup

[Sergio sledge]

I’ve seen a lot of them this season given my kids are part time Caley Thistle fans (hopefully they choose to join me in the away end for this game… :greengrin). Caley Thistle are a stuffy team, defence is definitely their strong point, they have zero creativity at the minute and can’t score goals, something that Big Dunc is trying to fix. A lot of their good form when Ferguson came in was due to Wotherspoon who was by far the best player in the team before getting injured and then leaving for Dundee United. They’ve really struggled since he went out the team.

They’ve been playing 5 at the back recently, 3 in the middle and 1 player just off Mackay up front and really struggling to score. They pass the ball endlessly across the back 3 trying to open up space down the wings for the wing backs but don’t move the ball quick enough and it’s pretty easy to shut down as they’ve virtually no movement upfront or in midfield.

They’ve just signed Samuel on loan from Ross County who looked busy yesterday in his debut and should at least offer a bit more movement upfront.

It will be a tough game and, unless our form picks up, won’t be a classic, but we should have enough to get by them.

I’m looking forward to seeing a Hibs game and getting home in less than 20mins!

[Glory Lurker]

I’ve seen a lot of them this season given my kids are part time Caley Thistle fans (hopefully they choose to join me in the away end for this game… :greengrin). Caley Thistle are a stuffy team, defence is definitely their strong point, they have zero creativity at the minute and can’t score goals, something that Big Dunc is trying to fix. A lot of their good form when Ferguson came in was due to Wotherspoon who was by far the best player in the team before getting injured and then leaving for Dundee United. They’ve really struggled since he went out the team.

They’ve been playing 5 at the back recently, 3 in the middle and 1 player just off Mackay up front and really struggling to score. They pass the ball endlessly across the back 3 trying to open up space down the wings for the wing backs but don’t move the ball quick enough and it’s pretty easy to shut down as they’ve virtually no movement upfront or in midfield.

They’ve just signed Samuel on loan from Ross County who looked busy yesterday in his debut and should at least offer a bit more movement upfront.

It will be a tough game and, unless our form picks up, won’t be a classic, but we should have enough to get by them.

I’m looking forward to seeing a Hibs game and getting home in less than 20mins!

Oh my. Has the makings of the most boring game ever!

[BILLYHIBS]

iirc round boy Robbo has a brother that's a Hibby and another that's a sticky bun bun, chris Robertson rings a bell, i'm sure he played the game as well but can't remember who for

Robbo is Grant Stott’s cousin

[hibby rae]

So ScotRail ok?

North of Perth, due to the works.

Obviously with no LNER that will increase the number of travellers on the bus/rail combination services north. The silver lining is I don't think that will impact Scotrail ticket prices like it would other operators.

[He's here!]

Chris played for Rangers to start with

Had a spell at Hearts when they were in the lower leagues but spent most of his career with Meadowbank IIRC.

I don't think the Hibs-supporting brother played pro football.

[IberianHibernian]

We`re playing in Dingwall on Tuesday 13th so will probably play in Inverness on Saturday 10th . Can remember watching Hibs on pre season tours in late 70s / early 80s with games against old Inverness Caley a couple of days after playing Highland League Ross County . Good trips but in summer . Winter tour not quite so great .

Dingwall game is March, isn't it?

[Davy Mac]

i seem to recall myself and mates bevvying in the Albion Bar belting that out over and over :greengrin, they must have beaten Heartz but i can't find which cup it was or even what year





found it, 1992 4th April SC SF Airdrie 0 Heartz 0

replay 14th April 1-1 Airdrie won 4-2 on penalties

unfortunately Airdrie had beaten us at ER in the previous round 0-2 :boo hoo:

old Rangers beat Airdrie 2-1 in the final


She stayed near the original stadium before it was demolished and became Morrisons and we used to drink in all the bars in Airdrie and one of them was called Diamonds, great stuff.

Quite a rivalry between Airdrie and Coatbridge back in the day and wasn't about fitba - lol

Dingwall game is March, isn't it?You`re right . Got my months mixed up . So could end up playing in Inverness on Sunday or Monday .

[mcohibs]

Don’t really get this “tough game” stuff?

They’re 3 points off the bottom of the championship with one more game played than the 3 below them. They’re hopeless.

Put in a performance like we did yesterday and yes, we could struggle, but this should be a straightforward progression for any half decent top flight side.

Therein lies the problem.

We are meant to be the Saturday lunchtime on BBC.

Hearts meant to be the Friday night however they play St Johnstone on the Wednesday before. That may get moved with it not being on the telly.

Never forget Robbo sat on the stage at a rally for Save our Hibs.

Chris played with Rangers, Hearts and Meadowbank, despite that he is an absolute gentleman, last I heard he helps The Spartans out behind the scenes.

[Fanforlife]

iirc round boy Robbo has a brother that's a Hibby and another that's a sticky bun bun, chris Robertson rings a bell, i'm sure he played the game as well but can't remember who forhis brother George is a s big a Hibby as myself ,known him for over 55 years he used to take John to games at easter road when John wasn't playing for Edina etc.However if memory serves me well John was more of a Liverpool fan as a boy ,Chris signed for Rangers as an s form then progressed through the ranks before leaving to play for Hearts,sure he was the only brother who ,like their dad supported Hearts,all 3 brothers were very good players, George liked a bevvy as most of us did back then, George is also a fantastic Poet,John was 100% behind us against Wallet Mercenary so i would definitely say his comments were tounge in cheek,especially since he has spent donkeys years in Inversnekie.

It's all relative though. Crap in the Championship is miles better than crap in League 2.
Yet from Saturday you'd think crap in the Premiership = crap in League 2 therefore crap in the Championship could be better than crap in the Premiership.

Joking aside I didnt realise just how shocking our record is against Inverness.

According to Fitba Stats webpage we have played them away 17 times, losing 10, drawing 3 and winning 4 times with an overall goal difference of minus 20 :Ummm:

100% record in the cup up there though ( 1 out of 1) :greengrin

Some of those would have been at Pittodrie, IIRC.

Dunno if that makes it better or worse :greengrin

Our record was absolutely honking up there for years. We went years having never won. Can't remember who the manager was when we finally won. Possibly Calderwood.

Our home record doesn't come close to compensating for it either.

TV games will probably be out by the end of this week. We know St Mirren V Celtic will be Viaplay no question about it. I assume they will also do Rangers since Viaplay love the old firm with a passion.

Our game is a shout for the BBC. Not sure if BBC get 2 games this time around.

BBC got 2 games in this round last season

[Carheenlea]

Fingers crossed for a non-TV 3pm Sat KO to avoid a very early rise for travelling North.

Even a Sunday away trip is never quite the same. Think they’ll go for Aberdeen v Bonyrigg or Airdrie v Hearts. Morton v Motherwell might appeal to them as well. I think our tie is well down the pecking order for preferred TV games.

I'm not so sure. BBC might view ICT v Hibs as a chance of an upset. Having already done Aberdeen and Hearts I think they maybe more likely want to show a different team?
Could be wrong about that last bit.

Not sure if that’s fake or not but I’d be surprised if bbc didn’t follow Bonnyrigg up to Aberdeen. Viaplay will almost certainly cover the old firm.

I'd imagine the gunts and rantic games will be televised which leaves one other. Partick vs livi is a decent game but probably won't get the viewing figures we might

They should rebrand again. Huntic TV.

This round last year BBC broadcast Hamilton vs hearts (Friday night) and Darvel vs Aberdeen (Monday night)

aw crap. forgot about the monday night stuff. really does ruin football

They showed the derby last year. Must be the only game that didn't involve the old firm in recent times.
Derby before that was technically premier sports and was also on bbc for free which made no sense haha.

[Garymcl]

Surely must find out today /tomorrow date and kick off times for trip to Inverness hoping to let the train take the strain for this a few of us going up depending on when game gets played will determine if it’s a stay over (had some brilliant nights up there in the past years ) or straight back down the road don’t fancy taking cars as conditions could be a bit dodgy this time of year :flag:

[xbar81]

they still have to do the rest of March games which haven't been done yet. Having said that the cup should come first now.

I think will be done by Friday.

[Broken Gnome]

Not on TV, which is good for filling the away end and making a day of it if nothing else.

No sure how many will tune in for Morton v Motherwell

Cause Morton did well in the last round and Motherwell are half decent.

ICT on Saturday at 3 is pretty good for the traveling fans.

Viaplay can go bust as far as i'm concered.

They seem to be involved in a lot of goals though. Be a good tie for TV with Morton having home advantage.

I have to say I was surprised we didn't get the BBC game tbh.

[Carheenlea]

Happy with the Sat 3pm for the travelling fans.

Went expecting to be a featured game, but good to get clarification to start making plans.

[Billy Whizz]

Think someone said earlier in the tee thread that there were rail strikes on that weekend
Speaking to someone who works for Scotrail just now, and they have no planned strikes

[Green Man]

No rail strikes but there is engineering work north of Stirling that weekend so some trains will be diverted or have replacement buses. It’ll have more impact on folk travelling from Glasgow than from Edinburgh.
