Think Tam cowan said it happened in the first season tennents starting sponsoring the cup

Supposedly it was the first game out of the hat too and the boy who drew out the second ball was never seen again

 

That would fit as we won the first Tennent's Scottish Cup... that was also our last... 

Looks good to me, maybe Montrose can pull off a shock and we have a NE "derby"

 

Good draw for Buckie too, plenty of incentive there!

 

Oh, and hun v tim.........most excellent!

Not the worst draw we could have got and a bonus that its at home.

I'm happy enough with that and as previous folk have said a big plus us getting another home tie and that the ugly sisters have been drawn together.

'Jokingly'.

I've got a good feeling about the Cups. Brown & Knox are transforming us! I reckon the Scottish Cup's a real possibility. Not so sure about the league cup though - Celtic are still an ominous prospect for us...

Well done the Biffy! Home draw, lower league opposition and old firm together. Can't ask for any more than that.

 

Yes you can see Hearts 

Not counting chickens, but how about Montrose, then Buckie next round?

Or as its known in scottish football 

'The Gretna Cup run'

Or Utd's League cup run in '79

...don't care....history forgets how you got to a cup final...just that you were there.

 

In a country like Scotland with so many shitty teams it isn't unusual to have an 'easy' route to a cup final.

My chickens have already hatched, i'd fancy us now to take anyone, perhaps bar the winner of the old firm game.

If we get through to the quarter finals do we want the winner of the Old Firm at home then, or do we take the easy draw and hope someone else does the job on them?  If we were to play the Old Firm winner at some point, I'd fancy our chances a lot more at Pittodrie than Hampden...

Let everyone else have a pop at them, and if so meet them in the final with a big support behind us at Hampden.

We fear nobody.

Looks like it'll be Dunfermline then, they are currently 5-1 up on Montrose.

 

I see Helen has decided to skelp our second string in defiance. 6-0.

Hibs out! United look like going into extra time with County.

Got a feeling Utd will scrape though after surviving Counts onslaught
