Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

I must admit - when I read/her the word "snowflake", I judge. A couple of interesting bits and pieces in there though...

Not surprising from Robinson considering the previous allegations of his bullying of youth players.  Easier for him to call his targets snowflakes.

I don't know, you've always got a chance, even away to East Fife.

Motherwell, on the other hand, will rip these Jambo c***s a new one.

We didn't draw East Fife, that would involve us actually getting a decent draw in a Cup game against a side from the lower reaches of Scottish football.

We drew Hearts at home, our usual Premiership side in a domestic Cup and we absolutely WILL lose to them. I'll be putting my tank on it.

Would you you put posting in here on it?

Please agree to that bet MJC

It was not the draw we wanted but in some ways would prefer them to Dundee or Hamilton. Not East Fife, Forfar or Morton however. 

But it may be best as we will be tagged as slight underdogs on the day. 

Naismith is their talisman so not sure what the script is with him, but hope he is not in their team on the day. Moaning faced wee ****** but they play better with him in the team. 

Between this game or Dundee v Aberdeen for live TV I would expect unless they do there usual and go for East Fife v Rangers. 

Not the draw I wanted, but the draw I expected. Maybe we will get better luck the quarter final draw.

It's just so fucking frustrating.

Since 2016 when the format changed we have been in seven knockout draws for the League Cup and in every single fucking one of them we have drawn a Premiership side. Celtic (A), Ross County (A), Aberdeen (H), Rangers (N), Livingston (A), Hearts (A) and now fucking Hearts again(H). We've not fared much better in the Scottish Cup in that time either. Just what is the chances of that? We get no luck whatsoever in Cups!

I am fucking pig sick with that draw.

I agree MJC 

Whilst not at all surprising it is a major p1sser. 

That said it is at home and Hearts are not yet playing their best football. 

Probably moved for TV as well which means Friday night or Saturday at 12 noon

16/17 - Second Round - Unseeded - Potential top flight opponents/total - 6/8 - 75% chance

17/18 - Second Round - Seeded - 6/8 - 75% chance

             - Quarters - 6/7 - 86% chance

             - Semis - 3/3 - 100% chance

             - Final - 1/1 - 100% chance

18/19 - Second Round - Unseeded - 6/8 - 75% chance

             - Quarters - 6/7 - 86% chance

19/20 - Second Round - Seeded - 2/8 - 25% chance

So in total its (36/50) a 72% chance of it happening.

Before your draw today it was (34/42) a 81% chance.

Bring the fuckers on, we might have no luck with the draws but hey we’ve made it to finals with those draws.

I’m liking the looks of this team and unlike Hearts we have managed to beat what was put in front of us. It’s at Fir Park so I fancy our chances!

Don't see the problem really Hearts look stinkin. Ok we haven't really been up against much so far but I think we're on a pretty decent run with a very confident and skilful team i think Hearts should be more wary about playing us. Than us fear them

Appreciate the statistics, but it still doesn't change the fact that we have been absolutely luckless in Cup draws in recent memory with regards to drawing fellow top flight sides. I know it's all about the luck of the draw but when you look at ICT getting to a final whilst getting off with a blatant penalty award in the semis and then playing Falkirk in the final, your own club playing lower league opposition all the way to the semi final?(if I'm wrong on that please feel free to correct me) and going further back, Dundee United playing Raith Rovers in the semi and first Division Ross County in the final...then it really is pretty sickening. We on the other hand draw premiership sides on a regular basis and on the odd occasion we make it to finals we find ourselves up against an all conquering Celtic side.

Your one Scottish Cup draw last season was against a lower league team.
