    Definitely. Out of the 8 balls in today's draw you could have:
    1 Warm ball for Celtic
    1 Cold ball for Dundee Utd
    6 Non-heated balls for the rest.

    And a wee, hush-hush conversation with the cheeky chaps doing the draw and away we go.

    On the subject of Refs, the boy of the old Ref Syme who is best pals with Andy Goram, whos da was also a Ref.

    I mind seeing on twitter a wee while ago, he claims not to support any team and neutrally supports Scottish football(dont know why - only thing I can think of is he wants to become a Ref in future) got found tweeting MacLeod saying please stay, we need you if you leave fans will stop buying season tickets and we need the money :56: aye neutral right enough ya wee *

    So are we seriously suggesting that Gary Anderson has colluded with the SFA and gave us the 2nd hardest tie available?..... why the second hardest and no the hardest?


    I suppose that would explain why Gary's side - Hibs got the easiest draw.

    I'm with yous now! :50:

    Not saying it was rigged, but what tie is harder than the Arabs away? Inverness are above them in the league but let's not kid on they're better than United :smiley-laughing002:

    Inverness are a better team and it's always proved to be a more difficult away tie for us.

    Don't talk pish other than the mad Ronny decision to change 10 players we haven't struggled there since the defeat at the end of season under Lennon

    Think I would rather Utd or ICT now anyway. Means if we get through the SF will be a massive game and so the final ovb. So will be buzzing for this game, if It was Raith at home or something I wouldn't be to buzzing before the game.

    It's all down to opinions at the end of the day... Inverness have been a very consistent side this season. Hard side to beat.

    Anyway none of this means anything, as we're better than the * lot.

    After the last draw I asked a friend who studies maths at University what is the odds of winning 2 out of 17 coin flips, and he said it was like 2,800/1.

    Just mad to see though. Means we are getting an outcome of 13/87 from a 50/50 chance.

    Sevco have had 7 Home 4 Away in the Scottish Cup in their short history. Meaning they must be something like 5 times more likely to get a home draw than us lol

    Infact is it 12 times more likely? im no very good at this complicated math.

    no they're just as likely.

    It's a 50/50 on the day.
