Last year one of the balls was open when he drew it out. Which completely stumped the SFA dude.

Quite how they can manage to fk up what is one of the most straightforward tasks imaginable is anyone's guess. But they've managed it two years in a row.

Parochial, amateur and utterly embarrassing.

With all the issues in football and the biggest embarrassment is pulling balls from a bowl?

Rod was pissed yesterday and Stubbs read a ball upside down. Most people don't care, or seen it as funny, whilst others are making a mountain out of a molehill.

It's not the biggest embarrassment, no. But now I think about it why have two Celtic men? And why have one who's pished?

It's not a home made Youtube channel, it's the Scottish Cup draw live on the BBC. Supposedly the premier competition, oldest in the world and all that. And it's amateur as fk.

Does it really matter who pulls the balls out of the hat? You're trying further to make a nothing matter into something much more than it was.

I'm sure on plenty of other occasions it would have been two men of another club. Most people wouldn't notice, or care, to make the slightest issue of it.

I'd imagine that Rod was asked to do the draw before he was pissed.

It wasn't live on BBC either it was on Sky. You nearly got all your hates into one post.

Most people seen the funny side of it. You need to lighten up and stop looking to be offended as usual.

Maybe, but you'd normally expect a steamer to be shown outside rather than in front of the camera.

I'm not offended, I just think it's amateur as fk.

Probably that new team from Glasgow.

Although, as a Hibs fan, I was hoping for a dull draw here. Defensive nightmares at The Rangers.

Warburton looked shell shocked in the post match interview and Sutton called it right in where is Muster King and his £30 million transfer kitty?

I think Cathro needed that result as they've been dire since he took over. They are too far back to get back in the running for 2nd. Aberdeen having playing better recently and must be favourites for 2nd now.


I'm not sure how King is managing to hide away. I think everyone knew he didn't have much money, but nobody is really tackling him over his claims.

Warburton leaves (or does he?).

beeb said:
Mark Warburton says he has not stood down as Rangers manager, despite a club statement that they have accepted the resignation of him and his staff.

Rangers announced on Twitter that Warburton, assistant David Weir and head of recruitment, Frank McParland were leaving the Premiership club.

It linked to a website statement saying that Rangers had accepted their notices of termination.

But Warburton told BBC Scotland he was unaware of the statement.
