I looked on Scottish ground guides so guess could be wrong.

It's hardly a terrible draw. It could have been better but it's not Celtic, Rangers, Hearts or Aberdeen away. All of those would have been terrible.

If we're on our game Arbroath away should never be classed as a terrible draw.

Not this one. Gayfield is a tough place to play at the best of times, but against a team with nothing to lose and in incredible form, particularly if the winds off the North Sea are up, that’s an awful draw. No pressure on them and expectation completely on us.

Would you have preferred the old firm away instead. 🙈🤣

It’ll be a lot tougher than a lot of people expect - they’ve not been beaten at home since July.

For those that haven’t had the pleasure of a visit to Garfield before, the ground/wind will be a real leveller.

Happy with that. Tough but winnable draw and good away trip

Confident of a win.

Me too. We should never be losing to teams in a lower division.

They're a lower league team and home or away, we should have too much for them.

Pleased with that draw.

Arbroath haven’t lost at home since August 2021.

We should have nothing to fear there, it’s a cracking draw. Delighted with this one.

We’ll see. I’ve seen them a couple of times this season and quite honestly they could draw any team in the competition at home and they could be a cup upset in waiting for literally anyone.

This will be a massively difficult game against a team who as a rule don’t lose at home.

Good record, but have they played anyone above championship level?

I agree. It will be a game for our experienced players

Brings back SC memories as a 14 year old playing Arbroath up there. Enjoyed the trip going on the supporters bus from the local pub which formally the Willie Muir in Granton. Didn't enjoy the replay which was played on the following Wednesday though.

Our cup record is excellent, home and away. Nothing at all to fear, think folk are still in Cove 'mourning' here :rolleyes:

Aye a difficult game not debating that but “terrible draw” is over the top/very dramatic

They’re doing well but I’ll never view a tie against a part time side as a terrible draw. Celtic or Rangers away would have been a terrible draw, no this.

Great draw.

Cracking away day to an old school ground and a shortish trip to north to the seaside. Has the makings of a good tie.

Again, we’ll see. But outwith the old firm, Arbroath away for me is the one I wanted to avoid.

Maybe a Monday night game...

It looks like Premier like to be the last game so they can do the draw after it so it’ll probably be Saturday or Sunday lunchtime

In hearing the club are giving priority to those who attended the Cove match.
Those who couldn't be bothered will have to watch this one on TV, or listen to biscuits and his mates
