A new low for the SFA. Piss up and brewery come to mind......

Dear oh dear ... farce ... 

 Has to be a "what happened next ?" on a future Question of Sport and any Football related bloopers.

Dungdee Utd are probably happy about it.

But here we go again - David Tanner talking balls 

Lol - Embra is fine by me 

Away to the winner of the Edinburgh derby.

Celtic at home to Morton 

and instead of a tricky away tie Celtic have been handed a home tie against the weakest team left in the competition........

So what went wrong? All I have to go on is the OP.

Hibs v ICT

Cellic v Morton (can lightning strike twice)

Tinkerville v Arabs (McKay, Ofere and Rankin to score

Killie v Dundee

It was balls.....

Can we play the podcast of this evening's Sportsound to the players in the dressing room prior to the quarter final ? Both Keith Jackson and Graham Spiers writing off our chances of progressing against either of the Edinburgh clubs.

The ball was burst.

Could be worse, I fancy our chances against either of the Auld Reekie teams.

I've now caught up with what happened! Couldn't really have been a much more ironic hitch. I don't think anyone's statistical speculation on the other thread took account of a "burst ball".

Maybe the hot ones were overdone....

Hope it's Hibs away rather than Hearts. Nothing wrong with a game at Tynecastle but given we play them on March 1st two away games v Hearts at Tynecastle in less than a week is a bit much!

I had a funny feeling it would be Hearts away, if they can get 60,000 in the stadium then that will please the board.Then back to Edinburgh again for the semi v Greenock

So who supplied the cheapo balls? I believe Lidl is one of the cup's sponsors

The SFA have confirmed that the venue for all four ties will be New Douglas Park.......unless the pitch as been pre booked by under 12s teams....

would prefer Hibs tbh, if for no other reason than it would avoid 3 games against Hearts in quick succession! I also think they'll have more on their mind with league cup and championship to focus on.

HERE WE GO TWO IN A ROW!!!!!!

Spiers & Jackson should stick to making garden tools, especially garden forks to turn the manure that comes out of their mouths.

Did moravcik do a bit of acting once in Corry.

Why bother with a draw, they should just all sit round a table and decide in advance - lets help the big clubs and make sure that the wee teams dont make the final.

Re-draw is a farce - yet again another cup draw which creates suspision around the credability and impartiality of the draw. Another embarassing affair by the SFA.

I wiouldnt be surprised when we beat the Edinburgh team we will have a semi at Hampden against one of the OF - expect Rangers, as we will be seen as a more probable win than putting them against RC or DU. An OF cup final is overdue afterall lol
