5.30pm on the Saturday night if the last few years are anything to go by! And there is no way the police will let the OF kick off at that time on a Saturday so I think it’s nailed on to be Sat 1st Nov.

It’s a good draw but losing to St.Mirren in a Semi Final would be ten times worse than losing to one of the big two. 

Nothing comes close to losing to Airdrie in a semi final (replay).

All the others have been water off a duck's back, and a loss here would be no different.

Losing to St Mirren would be worse in terms of hindsight, but losing to the OF at Hampden can be excruciating.

Guaranteed to be cheering someone on in the final at least

Craigan must have ignored the SPA/SPL instruction on what order to pick the balls out

Another blow to the muppets who pedal this nonsensical conspiracy that Cup draws are fixed to keep the Old Firm apart until the Final.

Would imagine we'd be the sat 3pm also.

They'll likely put OF on the Sun will they not?

I think our game will be on the Saturday , would prefer a 3pm but have a feeling it will be 5:30 or 5:45

Anyway great draw , the one I was hoping for

Losing a Semi Final to St.Mirren can never just be shrugged off as water off a ducks back. It might not be Airdrie 1975(?) but it would still be a sore one to take.

Can you try and be positive just for once? Aye be sore one if st mirren beat us but i think we all would have wanted that draw

Speak for yourself.

If St.Mirren are in the final I certainly won’t be cheering them on.

If we can’t have our ‘day in the sun(even though it will be mid-winter)’ then I don’t want any non OF club to have theirs.

On watching the draw I had a wave of positivity, thinking what a great opportunity we have to reach a final. Something which has happened only a handful of times in my lifetime.

I then come on here and feel like someone has just shat on my chips…. Cheers

Not any worse than the nonsensical S***e you post on here before every match. I know an emoji wasn't used so you must have been the only one who realised it was a joke

[twistandshout1983]

Great chance to get to Hampden

Hopefully we get the win , and if we are in the final I would much rather play Rangers than play Celtic right now

If we lose the semi final , I will support St Mirren against either of those two Glasgow mobs .  Understand why people have a dislike towards St Mirren after their antics at Fir Park last season especially but anything they have done is nothing compared to having to listen to the bile of the OF

Yes of course.

Realistically it is the best draw we could have hoped for at this stage as it gives us the best chance we could have hoped for to get to the final. 
 

And as I said last night we absolutely owe St.Mirren in a Cup tie so this would be perfect time to repay that debt so hopefully we send them, Robinson and their torn-faced boneheaded supporters slithering back along the M8 with their tails between their legs.

I assume that common sense will prevail in terms of allocation and we get the East Stand for this one seeing as it would make no sense whatsoever in a geographical or practical sense for both supports to cross over each other and go to the far away end?

It is definitely the best draw. Rangers and Celtic will both be playing better by November so St Mirren give us the best chance to proceed.

Second semi-final in two years is fairly impressive. Beating  St Johnstone away and Aberdeen away is no easy run to the semi final. On performance to date I think Motherwell go into the game as slightl favourites.

I’d be hoping we get the North Stand like we did in the Aberdeen semi. At least we can get a decent view of the game rather than stuck miles away behind the goals

Absolutely 💯 , nothing to fear in this game

St Mirren home or away down the years has always proved to be a tough game , but no reason why we can't win this game

Yer post's do make me chuckle and frustrate me at same time! 🤣🤣  let's just hope we can do the business in semi final

[grizzlyg]

If Saturday 1st then that will be 29 years since Mrs grizzly and I had our first date,  I tentatively broke news to her and got reply I expected.

'Is it? I wouldn't have known'

Boom!! Will get tickets no probs now 🤣🤣🤣

With the possible exception of the following year when JPR Gordon gave Rangers a penalty when fat Derek tripped over his own feet about 20 yards from the box.

If we had beaten Airdrie we would have got the green scum in the final, a dreadful Hearts team awaited us the next year, I suspect a cup win would have been more likely the second year. Plus that team really deserved to win something.

But aye, I know what you mean.

[Suprawell]

If Carlsberg did semis....GIRU that wee goblin, send him and his team back to methadoneland with Sweet FA.

Do you also include 1976 in that , I think that was worse than airdrie especially the circumstances involved. Jrp Gordon you were a cheating bastard.
