Scottish Cup Draw

[RUL]

What time is it and who are folk hoping to get?

 

Tough draw regardless but prefer home draw and really hope to avoid Celtic! Think stjohmstone/hearts would be my preference

[Sandafc]

Hopefully we will be in the draw in the first place (well we will be but you know what I mean)... Although think we will beat QOTS down there. Id take a home tie against anyone bar Celtic.

[RUL]

Agree, hope utd draw celtic

[wilm1542]

Anyone at home apart from Celtic. I almost hope that we don't get lower league opposition in the next round (if we win the replay) as we seem to make a complete meal out of those games.

 

Reckon we'll scrape the replay 1-0 in nervy fashion playing our usual shit smelling brand of football.

[rossafc92]

I think it's best to avoid any talk of who we want in the next round given that we're not there yet. That attitude seems tempts fate with us.

[scoutman70]

I think the worst tie we could get is Ross County away. Yet St Mirren away would be a better proposition despite them being the SPL opposition.

 

You can argue that if we want to win the cup, we want celtic at home. Otherwise we are relying on someone else beating them or us beating them at Hampden.

[StandFree1982]

I would take Celtic away as it means we actually didn't Fuck up our replay v QOTS

[Oklahoma 1903]

That's what I was thinking.

[OddJob]

Tbh as much as the Huns have been utter ding today, the credit has to go to Utd for going there and getting a result like that, so imo i'd want to avoid them too.

Huns away for me.

 

 

Oh hud on.

 

Celtic at home then.

 

Last chance to get a kind of fair chance at beating them. If we get them at the semi or the final they will have more fans, technically a home game and a bias ref to name just three.

 

At least at Pittodrie we'd have a sort of level playing field.

[Mikeyboy1903]

Didn't know that we'd reached the next round yet

Draws today...are we in it?

[Karl Fletcher]

Considering we're absolutely piss against lower league teams I'd like us to draw Hibs at home.

 

Provided we get through

Who's all left anyway?

 

Celtic

Jutes

Motherwell

Hibs

Aberdeen / QOTS

St Mirren / County

Hearts / St Johnstone

Ayr / Falkirk

 

 

Should be get through Celtic at home has to be the logical choice. Otherwise avoid them until the final to get a shot at Europe even with a runner up finish. :thumbs: (If they get through that is.

 

If we want to avoid Celtic until the final then Ayr / Falkirk at home would do nicely.

[Tord31]

History would suggest this is the kind of day we see the cup opening up for us with a favourable draw........ and then you know what happens next.

Pretty sure the Scottish cup runners up do not gain a European spot now and it goes to the next highest placed team in the league

 

I might be wrang though

Aye yer wrang.

 

Cup winners or runners up will be in Europa qualifying.

[jimbojim]

Aye yer wrang.

 

Cup winners or runners up will be in Europa qualifying.

 

Only if the cup winners win the league and are in champs league do the runners up get into europa I believe.

A few hun bastards jumped the gun 5pm on Saturday with gloating texts regarding our draw with Queens of The Stone Age.

 

Those in glass houses etc, cheating bastards chickens are all coming home to roost now, Houston tearing into McCoist for complaining about no cash, yes you fat hun prick, welcome to the reality we've had for the last 15 years, get it roond ye ya hun cunts, what you reap you sow, take your medicine and GTF

[King Street Loon]

Celtic-United at Tannadice would be he ideal draw for the whole tournament.

Would open the whole draw up should United win.

 

I just want to get past the replay first.

Have my doubts about that.

European places for 2012/13

Scotland's position in the UEFA rankings at the end of 2010/11 was 15th, meaning that five clubs will qualify for European competitions next season:

 

~ The 2011/12 champions and runners-up enter the Champions League in the third qualifying round.

 

~ This season's Scottish Cup winners enter the Europa League in qualifying round four (play-offs).

 

~ The third-placed club in the SPL go into the Europa League third qualifying round.

 

~ The fourth-placed club in the SPL go into the Europa League second qualifying round.

 

~ If the Scottish Cup winners have qualified for the Champions League, then the SPL third-placed club enters at QR4, the fourth-placed club enters in QR3 and the cup runners-up enter in QR2.

 

~ If the Scottish Cup winners and runners-up have both qualified for the Champions League then the fifth-placed club in the SPL qualify for Europe, going into the Europa League at QR2.

Great stuff. I'm holding back on all emails regarding hunnery until the big day comes with HMRC.

I got a few at 1-0 but would be more wary of our own abuse of them coming back to haunt us, i've dished out hours of abuse since yesterday.

If the cup winners finish first or second, (ie Celtic this season, possibly), the runners up enter at the second qualifying stage of the Europa. No league winners required.

It would appear my invisible shield is playing up though.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Celtic best avoided although I take the point that if it has to be then Todders now is the place to get them (assuming QOTS ya de ya). Regrettably tie will be too far away from the Old Firm game for it to be a distraction for them and the final will presumably come one week after they do the flag thing, not great - but f*ck I would still love the opportunity!

 

Don't fancy Dingwall, Tannadice or Fir Park although it was funny to hear the jute guy on Sportscene saying they would take anyone preferably away due to their home form! Tynecastle would be the usual hit or miss affair, cracking atmosphere right enough.

 

Prediction (or guess)

 

Celtic v County

Utd v Dandies (which we take on the replay obviously)

MWell v Hibs

Falkirk v fa'ever's left

 

If Davies drops the hot ball maybe swap County and Mwell, but still at Celtic Park, obviously!
