[mixu]

Anyone know when the draw is? I fancy home to forfar.

[OneBeboMaguire]

Tuesday at 1pm from Dingwall.

 

considering our current state we'll get papped out by f**king Clyde.

Unusual venue.

 

[Jack_Glass]

Please give us a simple draw against part timers. I'd hate to see us exit a cup early.

[K-9]

Dundee at home

[K-9]

[Foster14]

Worst team we could have got in the draw I guess, with their seeding based on an artificially low league position.

 

Should have enough for them at home though. Hopefully...

[Henry]

Oh Christ, Dundee will seriously fancy their chances in that one.

I seriously fancy our chances in this one

[Mr Brightside]

I fully expect Aberdeen to win this one!!

[Granite City Reds]

Aberdeen haven't won at home to Dundee in 15 games. Last time we won was the league cup in 1995 season. Dundee have cut squad back though and not as good as last season but not an easy draw.

[Betty Swallicks]

Home draw against a 1st Div side who have cut their squad.

 

They should take a decent support up too.

 

I'd prefer this than Raith, QOTS, Ayr, Livi away.

 

Happy enough!

[barassie_afc]

Should win this but..............

[fine-n-dandy]

Did Killie get a by? (however you spell it) how are they getting in next round? just cos of odd number of teams & they were 5th in league?

Should be the by goes in hat. That's the way it's done in all other comps I ken of.

Not that it's important, just curious & it'd be nice for the smaller teams (like us) to get the option of getting a by

[spamspamspam]

I'm expecting no more than an early exit.

 

Dundee may have cut their squad, so have we. We're sh*te, they aint much better/worse. It'll be played just after we are hammered by celtic, humbled by hearts and outplayed by ITC.

 

If we get more than a point from our next 3 games we might just manage to scrape a win but I cant see us wining any of the next 3 games, the 4th against Dundee wont be any different.

[RUL]

Heard dundee have been poor so far, fancy us to sneak through 2 1

[Dandyesque]

Tie of the round.

 

Possible TV cash if these games are televised?

 

Decent crowd (compared to the 3000 we got v Berwick) maybe 8-9000 as we've not had them up here for years?

 

Solid chance of progression, even if it is a potential banana skin - I don't doubt Dundee will fancy their chances given our stuttering start though.

 

I'm delighted - we'd learn nothing facing a 3rd division team.

Not a chance!!

[NorthernLights24]

I've never seen us beat Dundee. Had a season ticket since 2000/01 so obviously never seen us beat them at Pittodrie. Only been to Dens once, when McGhee was in charge

[Betty Swallicks]

If any doom mongers who think we're as good as out I'm willing to bet against it.

 

Even money.

 

Money where your mouths are?

 

I admit we're rot but I'm willing to wage we'll progress past Dundee.

 

Min stake

[Dandyjam]

Tricky one, probably hardest we could've got but home tie so think we'll sneak through although may even go all the way. Had we been away, I think we'd be out. Expect Dundee will take a fair few fans up the road for this as they'll fancy their chances, they've a not bad record up here.

[RUL]

Crowd will be around 6,500 - 7,500 but read before that due to sharing gates and costs that we barely break even on these ties?

[Dandyesque]

Not a chance!!

 

Not a chance!!

 

I was speculating at the top end.

 

6500-7000 is much more likely.

[Betty Swallicks]

Why do people insist on doing this?

 

The most pointless thing to ever do on the net. Rocket does it also, 'oh I'll double the odds of what you get at a bookies'.

 

As if you'd pay out. The most pointless exercise on a forum.

 

'Aye, but you willing to bet'

 

Yeah I will, I'll put my money on at a bookies, cheers.

 

 

 

Come on.

Better giving your trade to the little man than these massive bookies.

 

:thumbs:

 

Crowd will be circa 6000-7000 imo.

 

Prob make a tiny bit of cash but better than 3500 at home v Brewick or 1000 away and a loss.

[Foster14]

If I fancy Dundee to win, I'll put them on at the bookies - I'm going for about hmmm 6/1 roughly.

[OneBeboMaguire]

Good tie, should be a good game if both teams perform. should bring a good support as well, hoping for a decent atmosphere.

[Ke1t]

A good 1st Division side vs one of the worst SPL sides.

 

By no means a foregone conclusion.

 

But then even if we'd got a 3rd division side it wouldn't be a foregone conclusion, I guess.

 

I'm going 1-0 Aberdeen, and that's with my most optimistic hat on.

 

If it goes to replay we'll lose at Dens.

Every f**king year.

 

Tie goes to a finish on the night.

Then I'd give us a slightly better than 50/50 chance to progress.

 

Pathetic, but that's Aberdeen.
