20% of Ibrox would be 9000

I think it's 20% or as close to that as is practical withinn segregation arrangements. It's not a surgically calculated 20%. They'll get the Roseburn unfortunately ☹️

[Gorgie_Rules]

Terrible draw can’t be dressed up any other way.

 

Even if we manage to beat Celtic, Rangers have a bye and the rest of the teams left are lower league or Killie so we now have to beat both Celtic and then Rangers at Hampden to win it.

 

Luck not on our side in a draw yet again

In what way?  We generally avoid Celtic in the Scottish. 

Really?

It’s in the rules we don’t have to cite anything. Only flaw in your point being hearts would be liable for the 12k tickets regardless of how many we sell. If we don’t take 12k fans we would be out of pocket. 

So what we are loaded, just leave them empty **** the manks off even more than having the audacity to cut their allocation

If they insist on the 20%
we need to request 12k next time we get a cup draw at parkhead, aye right

Surely Hearts dig there heels and say you are getting one section, and no more about it, citing our 15k season ticket holders and sell out home crowds 

 

It's in the rules and regs of the cup that away teams are entitled to be given 20% of capacity if they want it, which they will. We aren't going to breach the rules and get sanctioned.

 

Agreed we should insist on taking 20% for cup games at Parkhead and Ibrox though.

They could have had that if they thought they could have sold them. 

[Nelly Terraces]

That's us as good as out then.

[Selkirkhmfc1874]

Would've preferred to avoid them but at least it's at Tynecastle

It’s a pish draw no matter how folk dress it up. Aye, it’s better to play them at Tynie than Hampden but if we somehow manage to get passed them, Rangers will be waiting for us. We’ll now need to beat them both.

 

Yep, the ideal scenario is to avoid them both until the final like last year. Maybe if Rangers were already out there'd be some logic in wanting Celtic at this stage.

 

Playing them the midweek before as well. Shite draw.

[Bazzas right boot]

It's the best team, but at home.

We have a chance.

 

Also,  If we get emptied then one of the OF are definitely winning the cup so 3rd place gets us European group stage  football.

 

This draw Reduces our chances of a trip to Hampden but increases our chances ( if ever so slightly) of beating Celtic. 

 

A high chance of a cracking sf tie if we should beat them.

Winning the cup after beating Hibs, Celtic and Rangers. That will do for me.

Well, if we want to win the cup, we need to beat the OF. I'd fancy our chances at Tynie over Darkheid or Hampden any day. Great opportunity for us to win this.

100%. I think it’s the best draw we could hope for. The best chance of beating Celtic is at Tynie - not at Parkhead or Hampden.

I think we went through a spell of drawing them in the 4th round every other season. Mostly painfully the 0-7 in 2014. The following year as year it happened again, when any hope was ended by the early sending off of Gomis.

Get a grip. We put 3 past them with no defence last time. Hearts win.

[Jean Louis Valois]

I'm certainly not disheartened by the draw. It's a one off game at Tynecastle, We just really need to be up for it on the day. If we get past them it'll give our players massive confidence to pump the other lot at Hampden. Imagine we won the cup after beating them both on the way!

[Taffin]

I reckon we'll do them at home.

 

Got to beat them at some point to win the cup and I'm glad we're not playing them at Hampden or their place.

[Hearts007]

[Der Kaiser]

1 turnstile open please.....

[SectionDJambo]

The best draw for us would have been Celtic and Rangers being drawn together and us to have a home tie against anyone else.

As it has turned out, it decreases the chance of some other team winning the cup and stealing the golden European ticket, should we finish 3rd.

It's just the luck of the draw, but imagine if we won the cup beating Hibs, Celtic and Rangers along the way. 

[Gmcjambo]

Most important thing is it being a home draw,  whilst I do believe we can beat anyone at Tynecastle in a one off cup game, there’s no denying that our performances against the ugliest over the years have generally been pretty woeful.   So not a good draw but we have a chance to progress.

How will Hearts fairly allocate tickets considering we have season ticket holders in the Roseburn who are just entitled to a ticket as ones in the other stands

Yeah.  When was the last time we played Celtic before the Final?  2014?   Before that was at Hampden too.

Mind that he ripped Scott Browns Tights IIRC

[GavK1012]

Spirit of Andy Thorn et al required ...

 

I'm mightily hacked off with the draw however players and management have a great opportunity to step up and make themselves a bit of history...

 

Tic really ain't as superior as their status and billing are made...I dont think anyone has really got in their faces and for 90 mins...easily said, but I personally feel a few of their players wouldnt have the heart for a proper in your face session at a rocking Tynie...

 

Over to you players and management...

Would imagine it'll be exactly the same as the Hibs game except ST holders will have to buy their seat.

 

1st phase will be ST holders buying their seat.

2nd phase will be Roseburn ST holders buying the remaining seats.

Then general sale if any are left.

[Corstorphine Jambo]

It’s not a draw you particularly want, but absolutely winnable. 
I’d start the ball boy training now - we play this game at our pace, not theirs.

[Shanks said no]

Lovely, town full of Irish for the rugby and the plastics come too. 

[Tommy Brown]

Changing the scenery a bit.

Great draw for Darvel.

They could make the Semis

[Riccarton3]

On the bright side, for Europe, there's a good chance either scumbag team will win the Cup. Worth a fist pump, surely.

 

But I fancy we'll go through.

Thats exactly what we'd be entitled to, although I think the home club are equally entitled to ask for payment for the allocation up front.

We would maybe have to play them both at Hampden regardless. 

Probably but we'd have to play at least one of them so it doesn't bother me. We can beat them at Tynie.

That was to be expected.  At least its a home tie. Unfortunately it will mean the Tims getting the whole Roseburn.

Unless they meet in the semi - if Celtic get through then the runner up would get the Conference group stages ☹️ 

I fancy our chances of giving Celtic a game at Tynie over sevco though!
