Happy with that.

 

[glasgow sheep]

Couldn't find it anywhere

Presume sellick v saints (or vice versa) is the other tie.

 

Superb tie for us, just a shame the OF aren't together.  Any idea when the games are due?

Of course we could.

Happy with that draw, loving the fighting after the game and other clubs getting pelters for not sending players. On saying that I see Maguire and Diamond were our players and im sure would have enjoyed a trip to see the folks.

[Tyrant]

I think if we can feed off the underdog spirit like we did against Raith Rovers we could really put in a good performance and cause Falkirk a huge upset!

Couldn't have asked for a better draw - hopefully we will capitalise on it.

Don't tempt fate . . .

I see the co-op have ended their sponsorship.  Shame as they have pumped significant money into the tournament and the cash won by teams was actually more than you would get in the Scottish Cup.

 

This would be a good opportunity to revamp the tournament back to the traditional "done by November" tournament, perhaps with the first couple of rounds on a Saturday before the league starts as I'm sure they used to do.  Was a much better tournament back then and I'm sure this more than the loss of the chance of euro football has had a significant effect on the prestige of the trophy (although tbh almost nobody puts out a weakened side for this and it seems to have suffered due to comparision to the English league cup, because I'm certain every team in the country would be desperate to win this)

This is now McGhee's biggest game of the season, and could be his last if we don't win.

[BobbyBiscuit]

Was always going to be the biggest match of the season to date, however, what if we win but the league form continues in such a fashion?  Do we keep him on just because we're in the semis of the cup? I'm inclined to say no and I'd hope the board would agree.

I would also agree.

I agree, should be a no. Doubt the board will have the bottle to do the right thing though.

A rare phenomena.

And if McGhee gets the boot, who on earth could turn the team around . . . .   

[Madbadteacher]

Billy Stark.

 

At least he gets ONE of our team to play!

McGhee can't, so we keep him?

[tom_widdows]

anyone else slightly uneasy at the prospect of the board thinking 'hmm Dodds and Chisholm are now available...'

Aye was thinking about that earlier..we could do with dodds(playing,not managing)

 

on the topic of the 1/4 final,think we'll just edge it just to take the pressure aff mcgoo and co,semi final to look forward to..

[maverick sheep]

The pressure on him to win this game is immense considering Dunfermline is supposed to be what made the board decide to bin JC. That could be something to do with Velicka's inclusion yesterday. Trying to rush him to fitness in time.

[manc_don]

Biggest game since then I would have thought Maverick!

[mizer]

We need Sam Beckett to quantum leap into McGhee and play two up front, if he wont do it in a must win game, at home, to a lower league team - he never will.
