    2800/1 for exactly 15 out of 17 to go against us.. but what about the odds of 13,14,16 or all 17 to go against us? A lot less than 2800/1 anyway.

    These things happen. I'm sure they gave Gary Anderson the little run down before the draw

    "Now Gary, remember: Hot ball is Celtic, cold ball is Dundee United. You do your part and we'll make sure Hibs get the easy one."

    :rolleyes:

    If I was in charge of the conspiracy, I'd throw in a few home ties against decent SPL opposition, rather than away at the * clubs we've had to play recently like Hearts, Raith Rovers and Peterhead.

    But maybe that's just me.

    Hate playing at home in the cup anyways, we don't win and there's about 10,000 there to see it.

    Well that was a bad draw to say the least. Away against the next best team left in the competition. Certainly if we are to win the Cup this year we will be doing it the hard road all away from home. I think that means we play Dundee United 3 weekends in a row in March in 3 different competitions. I wonder when the last time if ever that has happened that we would play the same team 3 weeks in a row in 3 different competitions.

    You have nothing on United when it comes to difficult draws

    We get more AWAY than HOME also but on the whole much more difficult ties

    Never see us get a home draw to an Arbroath or Berwick/Spartans like Hibs regularly get either

    Gary Anderson has been ruled out of darts competition for the rest of the season after a bad burn to his throwing hand after picking Celtic's hot ball out of the hat.

    Home tie results for us in the cups for us in recent years have hardly been that great anyway.

    Reminds me of when the referees had a tantrum and went on strike then all the Swiss (I think) refs came in and we lost :smiley-laughing002:

    Don't think there's any way the draw is rigged. Refs are biased but nah not the cup draw
