Raith Against The Machine Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Not the draw I'd have chosen, but you take it on the chin, look forward to chance of a major upset, and use the additional income to table contract extensions for Aiden Connolly and Tom Lang first thing tomorrow morning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therollorose Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Well that’s pretty pish as draws go. Can’t see a repeat of Nadé’s tap in to win a few years ago but you just never know. Hopefully get a good amount of £ for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Ah well. Win the Challenge cup and walk off with a pocketful of money from one of the ugly sisters to set us up for next season. Shouldn’t really complain.

But, yeah, that's not a pleasing tie. So, so, jealous of that Falkirk/Darvel/Ayr tie. An absolute gift that one. True but fills a DG hole in our finances and you never know thistle done well yesterday ( I know highly unlikely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 We need money, we dont get any till we're knocked out so nows as good a time as any to cash in, players need contracts renewed and this gives Murray/the Board the opportunity to build for next season.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I can fully understand the romance of the cup but from a financial point of view the club will be celebrating. Yes we could have drawn an ICT, Falkirk or Ayr but there is nothing to guarantee a victory especially away from home. This way we get a share of a 40k attendance, quarter final money and some TV cash. You never know we have nothing to lose, Partick gave them a game and anything could happen. Surely VAR wouldn't get a Duncan Ferguson headbutt so wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Now that I've had time to think about it, it's not so bad. We'll be, what, 15 or 16 games unbeaten by then and it's a full two weeks before the Challenge cup final so even if they manage to take us the full 120 we will still have plenty of time to recover before the final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is indeed a chance, albeit a very small one. The club will be very happy with the draw that's for sure. But when the QF draw has 4 non-Premiership teams, it feels like a kick in the balls drawing Rangers.

pub car king Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Rangers away is a grim day out. Not as bad as when all the local old firm fans come out the woodwork and end up in the home end at starks park. Still let's take the money and use it to get spme ckntracts renewed before the vultures start circling., We've had great day out on Saturday and have the challenge cup final to look forward to.

Gutting. Sure it’s a crowd and TV payday but realistically we’d have to perform out of our skins to win. Just hope that we can take a decent away crowd like Partick. The team deserve it. The team absolutely deserve this, we HAVE to be there in numbers. I’m gutted about the tie as every team outside of the OF was a winnable tie. That’s my opinion obviously 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been to Ibrox since Scotland played Sweden there in 1996. I’m probably due a visit but from what I’ve seen on the TV, they stick you in that shitey bit by the corner flag.

The young team are a very welcome addition. A massive game and we should go in with our heads held high. Bring it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you don’t have Rangers fans above you in the Broomloan Stand anymore. Must be a bit more of a challenge for them to hit you with assorted coins and liquids now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
