Either would be good.  A trip to Arbroath would bring back memories of that great Morton\Hearts\Dundee season in division 1 and Falkirk was always a good day out.

The 7-0 game was the snowfall game. Being so close to the sea, fog would be a regular hazard there though.

2 hat tricks that day. Drew Busby and Willie Gibson. Both got a case of whisky from sponsors for them. Can’t remember which brand.

Bells...

Good omens as last time we beat Falkirk or Arbroath in cup we went on to win the trophy in 1998 and 1896.  Don't remember the 1896 game but went to nerve wracking semi in 1998. Last time at Gayfield was the promotion game.

What do we reckon, Saturday at 3pm regardless?

 

Trying to arrange shift swaps but this replay is causing me bother.

Depends what game(s) the BBC show.

Obviously Premier Sports will show the two arse-cheeks games like they always do

Or our last results in the Cup against either of these two sides were losses. ☹️

Though We prefer your thinking.

7.20pm kick off on the Saturday. Cooncil tv.

Is that real? That is shite if so. Less shite if it's Falkirk, but trying to get back from Arbroath at 10pm on a Saturday?

There are trains from Arbroath to Edinburgh on Saturday night well after the final whistle .so that's not a problem

Predictable that Old Firm Sports are showing the Old Firm games.

 

The BBC like showing the romance of the Cup games but surely Aberdeen v Killie, Ayr v St Johnstone and St Mirren v Motherwell are all more interesting games for the neutral armchair fan than either of the games they have picked.

 

On the plus side it should now be easier to get a ticket but not convinced about Saturday night football.

I was at that one. My dad drove me up on a whim after I suggested it. Atmospheric stadium.

Also Scotland play England at Murrayfield on the 8th of February with a 16.45 Kick Off. Trains that day will be heaving.

If the Scotland v England game is a 16-45 ko why would the trains to Arbroath or Falkirk be heaving when we need them 🤔

I can see how the stations will be crowded but can't see how outward bound from Edinburgh will be any busier than a normal sat.

I'm afraid they don't care about inconveniencing punters.

Anything but a Friday or Saturday night suited me. Oh, well. 🙄

What is this deal with "Premier Sports" all about. Do they literally only cover the arse cheeks' games?  

Yes.

So did the arse cheeks do this deal themselves or did the SPFL/SFA do it? 

I would say themselves with SFA approval. They dont need SPFL approval as the Scottish Cup is the SFA's premier competition.

How much are we getting paid for this nonsense?

 

 

 

Think each club gets about 80k each. 

 

Just checked. It used to be 82.5k each but theres apparently a new deal in place which 'significantly' improves revenue for clubs
