Tony Wonder Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Pish draw for us. Though, we are arguably better getting them at Tynie than Hampden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 And to the shock of nobody the bigot twins avoid each other and Sevco get a home tie against lower league opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Inverness away, been a while since an away day in Inverness. No doubt Your conspiracy theories may have just bit you on the arse here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad we didn't get the potential banana skin that is Darvel.

Last few games at Tynecastle have all been competitive so imagine this one be the same 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past 15 years or so, the number of times there has been an Edinburgh derby in the early stages of the cup is ridiculous. Looking at the last 15 years, there have been 3 Old Firm matches before the quarters, compared to 6 Edinburgh derbies and one Dundee derby. I wouldn't say the Old Firm number is at all suspicious, given you've got a 1 in 31 chance of meeting in Round 4, then the odds for the subsequent rounds are slightly dependent on the team actually getting through, but work out as 1 in 15 for Round 5 and 1 in 7 for the quarters if both get there. So 3 meetings out of 15 is pretty close to what you'd expect if both teams make it that far every year. It hasn't quite been every year either - Celtic lost to Aberdeen in R5 in 2013/14, and Rangers lost to Dundee United in R5 in 2011/12 and 2012/13, then Raith in R5 in 2014/15. It's the Edinburgh derby numbers that are out of kilter, and I genuinely believe it might be because they are close to each other alphabetically (and therefore have nearby numbers) and the balls might not always get properly mixed in the earlier rounds.

AUcal Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) If we hadn't scored a 90th minute equaliser, we could have been looking at the possibility of seeing Darvel v Elgin in a Scottish Cup quarter final.

RiffRaff Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Pretty sure that the Hearts game will not be played on the 12th as Scotland are playing Ireland at Murray field that day. Monday night it will be! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Celtic v Hearts on 8/3, if Sunday is out, the Monday slot is logical. Rangers v Raith will be a Sunday match because of a game on 8/3 for Rangers. The decision will be ICT v Killie or Falkirk/Darvel v Ayr for Friday night, probably the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but playing Wednesday/Saturday isn't exactly out the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
