[RUL]

No doubt we will still draw Hearts away and none of these cannon fodder teams.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

We could hardly complain if we’ve become the plucky losers of choice in the arse cheeks early round drama. Pretty much auditioned for it 7 times in a row now.

[fine-n-dandy]

Waste of time wi McInnes at helm

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I didn’t mean it in a way that was in any way good or even convenient for us.

[DD1903]

Dumbarton at home

[tiktak]

Dumbarton at home

Should cruise that 2-1.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Should cruise that 2-1.

2-0 up in the 52nd minute.

McInnes starts to game manage.

Hang on for a 2-1.

Go Westhill.

Kick the ball in the net sack

[Ten Caat]

No doubt we will still draw Hearts away and none of these cannon fodder teams.

 

I'm expecting Celtic away

[BrianFaePerth]

Huns are at home therefore the other arse cheek must get an away tie. Thems the rules

[King Street Loon]

Would've preferred Dumbarton away.

[Zeus]

Dumbarton away would've been a good day oot.

 

Dumbarton at home just sounds absolutely shite

[Dynamo]

It's been that long since we've won this bloody cup I'll take a nice home draw over the day out.

[Poodler]

Haha good point, does the random draw ever throw up both at home?

[Henry]

Last time both were drawn at home in this round was 2012/13.

Nice first step. Say what you want about cringey American fans with their coordinates chants and whatnot, but it works for business and atmosphere. Every MLS team does a large “supporters section” behind the goal and it’s their key to revenue. They’re usually about half the price of seated tickets so they sell out large sections, and it draws in seated section folks who want a view and to take in the atmosphere.

 

I think the key aspect here is that whatever section this is, merkland, S, etc.. it needs to be cheaper than the rest of the seated tickets.. and it needs to be general admission with no regulations on standing, flags, etc. otherwise it’s just the same old nonsense

[The Cockney Don]

Hearts v Hibernian and Aberdeen v Celtic semi-finals to be played Saturday 31st October & Sunday 1st November.

Think we'll be the Sunday.

 

Final to be played Sunday 20th December.

[The Cockney Don]

Still not confirmed the date yet.

They should just make it the Sunday now as we'll have a Europa League group stage match the thursday before. ?

Hopefully a reduced crowd is allowed in, maybe 20% (5,000 each).

[Tord31]

They could go ahead and confirm it now. 

I thought it would be longer until we knew if celtic were in the champions league or europa league.

 

We now know that none of Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts or Celtic will be playing on the Tuesday following the game.

Celtic and/or Aberdeen MIGHT be playing on the Thursday prior to the game.

[Durrant Dived]

On the bbc fixture list it has us down for 3pm on the Saturday, 31st. Assume ko time will be 1215 as per usual though when we know who's broadcasting it.

Do Premier Sports and BBC get one each?

Premier Sports haven't shown a non-Celtic/Sevco game yet so guess the BBC will get given the Edinburgh derby.

2019/20 Scottish Cup? It's surely two semis to Sky and one semi to BBC (Sky's second choice).

Sky to choose the kick off times.

The league cup is exclusive to premier sports

I can't remember the chat with the 2020/21 scottish cup.

Scottish cup is Premier Sports, not Sky.
