So I guess we want a Dundee win tomorrow combined with avoiding Hibs in the draw

[The Cockney Don]

The only way Ross County can get the final seeding is if Hibs win on penalties.

[The Cockney Don]

That'll be Hibs seeded.

So we get one of : St Johnstone, St Mirren, Alloa, Arbroath, Ayr, Falkirk, Ross County, Dundee.

Aye it’s a boring shite draw.

And I think it means we’ll play them twice in a week there? 

[The Cockney Don]

Big points up for grabs.

Yep, got them in the league there the week after.

This is my problem with our league set up.

I fucking hate having to play teams 3 or 4 times a season in the league, depending on placings at the split. Then drawing one of them in the cup. Depending on result could potentially play a team 5, 6 or 7 times a season.

Fucking boring.

Aye... but the alternative is an 18 team league with diluted quality?

And good luck getting club owners agreeing to less games against the bigot brothers.

Win at St Mirren in the cup, then an away draw in QF would be 7 of 8 away. ?

Possibly all down Weege Way

Most unprecedented.

Time for the bus driver to earn his corn.

Mon ih driver.

[muttonhumper]

FFS. 

Just noticed the semi final date.

Could be 8 out of 9 before Xmas away from Pittodrie. ?

Thank fuck for the Covid.

Imagine hiw skint the moderate earning diehards would be negotiating a fixture list like that.

Scary shit.
