[Scobby_SJFC]

I'd like a trip ibrox money plus an easy bie

[Tractor Boy]

Draw is on Sat at 5pm.

2nd round is sat,so maybe next sat would like gretna away or spartans away[micky lawsons team]

Spartans away would be absolutley class!!! Wouldn't mind a couple of easy draws then meet Hibs or Hearts away in the quarters!!

[chopper]

Rangers away - easy victory :wink:

followed by Partick Thistle away - 4 goals guaranteed!!!

Home tie in the quarters as it gets us a freebie with the season ticket

Then anyone else in the semi's and final - CHAMPIONEES

[Chansey]

why do people want Spartans? Is it because people feel thats the easiest draw? I personally think they are a potential bannana skin. or is there another reason.......I'm really hoping for hearts/hibs this season!

ohright fair enough! Where are they playing now, still at the city ground? i was there when they played meadowbank in the scottish few years back, but they were about to knock down their 'stand', there was alot of good banter that game!! :***:

[Kyle]

New opponent - would love to play a non-league team as the likelyhood of us playing them again in a competitive fixture is so low. Also a different away adventure to anything else we're likely to come across.

As long as it isn't another first division club I'll be quite happy though.

[Thomas_sjfc]

Rangers at ibrox,

lets hope this year that when we are drawn against a team, that team know the date time and venue of the game on christmans day. Unlike our 3rd round cup oponents last year

Yes they're still at the city ground I think some builder is wanting to buy the ground and give them an area a few hundred yards further back.. I was at that game too, a bizzare sight of seeing Marvin Andrews and Co standing on Ferry Road with the sweat dripping off them waiting for their coach.

Anyway back on topic, a decent away trip would do me fine but to be honest I would take anyone as long as we had a cup run!!

[Ray Blair]

Dundee Utd at Tannadice would be good.
We seem to have a good record there!

I remember that too, good day out! I recall speaking to Alan Main, IIRC he was telling me how regreted leavind us as he was no longer fist team a meadowbank.......would have loved to see the guy back at that stage!

[saintsam90]

im not too botherd who we get 8)

[MUZZ]

gimme either huns, tims, sheep, arabs, hibs or hearts at home. if not give me an easy run to the final :D

[Saintkev]

The more games the better, build some confidence.

[Scobby_SJFC]

The cups always great especially an away day somewhere!

[TheBigCheese]

Are Queen's Park still in? If so I'll take them at Hampden for a bit of Billy Stark abuse. :twisted:

[chopper]

Queens Park are in it and have a chance as well against Raith Rovers. 10 ties, the winners join the SPL and First Division sides in the draw on Saturday teatime.

Tennents Scottish Cup
Alloa v Montrose
Arbroath v Dumbarton
Ayr v Morton
East Fife v Peterhead
Gretna v Cove Rangers
Lossiemouth v Spartans
Queens Park v Raith
Stenhousemuir v Partick
Stirling v Inverurie Locos
Threave Rovers v Forfar

Wouldn't mind trips to Inverurie, Threave Rovers or Lossiemouth.

[saintbear]

gretna the media darlings

[kintillo saint]

rangers at mcd

[pezza70]

Cove away

:***:

[Finners]

i want someone easy so we can get a nice cup run together, then have bug day out :)

[kintillo saint]

rangers at McD

[Nessie]

Cove or Inverurie away would suit me fine :wink:

[Maradona]

Dundee utd away would be a good one

[Rodgers]

WE HAVE GRETNA :D :D :D (at home)

MON THE SAINTS :***: :wink:

[lethamsaintee]

i reckon we will beat em, they are full of it and deserve a going over.

COYS

[Scobby_SJFC]

when is thie game never caught it ?

[Jimbo]

it has to be said its not a great draw, gretna are a good side with alot of confidence at the moment. but at home we should still expect to win but it wont be easy

[Cagey]

The tie I did not want. They are on an unbeaten run & scoring goals for fun. Probably not much between top of 2nd & majority of 1st Div teams.

[Chansey]

I bloody hate Gretna!! Come on Saints, lets get it right up em'!!! :twisted:

[saintbear]

cant wait to hump the new media darlings :***: bring it on

[Calinho]

when Hibs came up at home i was SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAMING for saints, but it wasnt to be :cry:

[Saint Hayley]

I wanted hibs aswell as my mate is a big hibs fan who slags me all the time so i wanted to shut her up for once!

Come On U Saints Lets Kick Some Ase

Btw What are all the fixtures for the cup as i missed it??

[templeofsaints]

when is thie game never caught it ?

January 7th.

Not a bad draw and at least it's at home and a bit different. Was getting a tad worried given that the Paisley mob and various Forces of Darkness/Evil hadn't appeared.

Pity it wasn't Queens Park at Hampden - still I suppose we'll just have to do it the hard way :wink: :D

[MUZZ]

good game ahead v gretna, free game on season ticket. really is game to look forward to IMO.

I'd agree muzz, but it'll be bloody hard , they've some good players also!! i'm looking forward to it ....but no a replay in midweek!!!!! :wink:

[MUZZ]

the return of alan main :twisted:

[SG]

Great keeper ... one of the best ever at this club ...apart from any united game!! :***:

[Kyle]

Good tie

Hopefully Main will get a good reception. Was brilliant for us.


This was the tie I wanted funnily enough. Should be interesting to see how good they actually are.

[slf]

lets get it right up em.nothing to fear bunch of moneybags sponsered bams.
here i think they only got in the league because they have a money bloke behind them,but thats another story as well.Anyway stuff them.



NO REPLAYS GET IT RIGHT UP EM ETC ETC

[David]

From the club's point of view, it's a terrible draw. Most of the Saints fans will get in free (first home game in the cup, on their season ticket) - it's hardly a big draw for part-time fans, Gretna will bring about 3 supporters with them and they still get half the gate money!

Saints will probably lose money on it. The way things are at the moment, an away draw at the Old Firm or Hearts would have been great, it could have financed some spending in the transfer window.

And to cap all that off, they're flying at the moment and will be desperate to prove a point themselves, ahead of next season.

IMO I think this game is one of the ties of the round and from a neutrals point of view would be seen a really good to come and watch due to them flying, so hopefully a few of 'couple of games a season brigade' will come out to watch.

[chopper]

Full draw:

Alloa Athletic v Livingston
Spartans v Queen's Park
Queen of the South v Hamilton Academical
Hearts v Kilmarnock
Dundee United v Aberdeen
Ross County v Forfar Athletic
Falkirk v Brechin City
Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Ayr United
St Mirren v Motherwell
Hibernian v Arbroath
Rangers v Peterhead
St Johnstone v Gretna
Stirling Albion v Partick Thistle
Dundee v Stranraer
Clyde v Celtic
Dunfermline Athletic v Airdrie United

[Davey]

i,d rather have them away! :roll:

[chopper]

I'm actually quite happy with that draw - its against a non-First Division side, we get in for free, it is an opportunity to progress and give some media darlings a beating!

And I would rather have Gretna and a chance of progressing than bloody Celtic!!!

[saintcammy]

gretna in the 3rd round we should make the 4th round

[imported_Jamie_Beatson]

I hope we can win this, but I have a bad feeling.

One big positive - Alan Main will be back at McDiarmid. Hopefully he will get an excellent reception. Still one of my favourite players ever!

[Chansey]

Alan Main doesn't start for them does he? I think he is at gretna on more of a coaching basis......or am i wrong?

[imported_Jamie_Beatson]

He played in yesterday's match.

[Chansey]

Did he? He wasn't starting for them last season. It might just have been because they were playing a lower league team. I would love him to play on the 7th though!

[208saint]

OC won't need to build the players up for this one - the media will do that for him as they will expect us to get beaten. If anything I would guess that Gretna may be the over confident team in this one. If they are as good as the media think ask yourself a question - how many of their players would you take instead of ours?

[Kevin]

Alan Main doesn't start for them does he? I think he is at gretna on more of a coaching basis......or am i wrong?

He's started quite a few games this season but not getting the clean sheets he used to! Be good to see Kev up against his old mentor and tormentor :x

[208hotel]

i think he has played about every game for them this saeson.pretty sure he will get a great reception.

[pezza70]

Alan Main will go close to winning the saintee of this decade I reckon.

Gretna will be up for this, lets hope OC and the boys respond.

How much away support will they bring for the match?

[MUZZ]

think we'll win this. gretna are a cocky shower of shites and this will prove their downfall. will be a great game though i reckon. that wee joby james grady will get no joy from us :twisted:

[StDuncM]

We will be coming up for this one. We are the first division club who aspire to play at a higher level and back in Europe.

Come on Ye Saints and fear no one.

Get right behind them and lets stick it up 'em.

[TheBigCheese]

Alan Main will go close to winning the saintee of this decade I reckon.

You clearly never saw Jordan Tait play... :wink:

I think this is a great draw, it gives us a good chance of getting through to the 4th round and it's a game agianst a team we've never played who have a few ex-Saints (Bingham, Irons and Tosh as well as Main). It might not be the best draw finacially but surely an extended run in the cup is better than going out at the first hurdle.

[Chansey]

Alan Main doesn't start for them does he? I think he is at gretna on more of a coaching basis......or am i wrong?

He's started quite a few games this season

I stand corrected! :oops: :oops: Taking info from last season, i seen them twice last season and he was on the bench on both occasions.....lesson learned not to assume things.

[Broggy Man]

This is a bit of a bannana skin. As long as the players realise that they will have to play to get the success i think we will be ok

[erchie]

tricky one ! but i still think we ll win by a couple of goals !

[Maradona]

Worst game Possible :evil: me no happy
