2nd round draw to be played 22 October. Annan Athletic v East Stirlingshire Banks O'Dee v Formartine Utd Brora Rangers v Clyde BSC Glasgow v Beith Turriff Utd / Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic v Cove Rangers Berwick Rangers v Civil Service Strollers / Hawick Royal Albert Linlithgow Rose v Stirling Albion Wick Academy v Whitehill Welfare Preston Athletic v Montrose Huntly v Spartans Edinburgh City v Forfar Athletic Cowdenbeath v East Kilbride Leith Athletic / Cumbernauld Colts v Forres Mechanics / Lossiemouth Arbroath v University of Stirling Gala Fairydean Rovers v Elgin City Buckie Thistle v Gretna 2008

Really have to stop giving the opposition so much respect. Looked like we were frightened of Rangers and cannot remember us making a challenge in their half. No idea why Pawlett started. As Rocket has said McInnes was lucky today that they were pish. Better team would have beaten us. Great finish from Hayes and Madieson's free kick was inch perfect. Bounce after both was brilliant. Head is sore this morning.

Leith v Cumbernauld Colts is played tomorrow. 2nd round draw is at Cove on Monday night.

Both ties are on tv. Shite kick off time and shite venue. To add to fun there are engineering works on the Aberdeen to Glasgow line that weekend. At least everyone who wants to go will get a ticket.

Hopefully Hayes okay for this one as he and McGinn will tear the Tribute Act apart. They are shite at the back and as long as we go at the from the start I am confident we will win by a few. After last night I would be very disappointed if we did not start Rooney. In Archies Y Beers in town 3-0 Rooney McGinn Shinnie

Good result if not performance last night. Hopefully the injury to Hayes is not serious as we do not look effective without him. Great draw for the semi final. Hopefully they play if at Easter Road or Tynecastle as not going to be anywhere near filling Hampden.

St J seem to have our number with them giving us a couple of doings last season. Would like to see us go with 2 up front in this but can see the manager opting for extra body in midfield. Need the team to put in a performance as the way we went out of both cups last season still annoys me now. Another performance like the ones against Hearts and Hibs last season and you have to question the will to win at the club. Oot Work BT Sport in flat Sleep 2-2 with Dons winning on penalties

Alex Rae canned by St Mirren. Billy Davis already been interviewed for the job.

Barton handed a three week suspension from Tribute Act following meeting with Warburton. Tribute Act clearly trying to get Barton to walk away.

Really need to win this one to give us a boost going into cup game on Thursday. Would like us to go 4-4-2 with Rooney and Storey as up front paring. Dundee have not looked great so far so we should be able to be more offensive than we have of late. Oot Edinburgh Zoo with wife and daughter and probably a raging hangover See above Flat 2-0 Rooney and McLean.

Hope you had a decent amount on.

Currently getting fucked 5-0 by Barca.

In 2016 we have only won 13 out of 30 competitive games including Europe and the cups. Not a particularly good record and not one I would expect a squad like ours to produce. As Manc has said squad has looked complacent for a while now as certain players know they will be picked no matter their form if they are fit. Manager needs to shake things up and get them focused again or this could end up being a long season.

Another poor result. To only have won 1 of our first 5 league games is not good enough.

Shinnie off injured. Not good.

Need a performance today to wipe out the memory of the capitulation at Parkhead. If Hayes is fit he has to start but hopefully we revert to 2 up with McGinn and Hayes wide in a midfield 4. Reynolds suspension should mean OConnor dropping in to back 4 beside Taylor. Not making the game today so bound to get a performance. Oot Flat Local game somewhere in Edinburgh Flat 2-0 Rooney and Hayes.

Yes on TV.

Really nice place Al. Locals very friendly and loads to do and see. Only problem for me has been the heat. Far to hot for my liking.

This. Also cannot see other teams in the group defending as poorly. Thought first half we were far to pedestrian although this may have been down to the heat. Better in second half especially when they went down to 10. Maltese were not happy with the ref about the sending off or for playing on when they had a man down in build up to our second. Not sure we would have won so easily if it stayed at 11 a side. Still was enjoyable to us score 5 in the sun.

Already regretting getting a season ticket after first few games this season but selling Hayes would confirm it as an extremely stupid decision.

Tribute Act have picked up the whataboutary habit of the deceased club very nicely there. Fuckers are shitting themselves as they know there is fuck all chance of them paying the big fine they should have coming their way.

Could be worse Al you could be sitting in Malta reading that news........

Woeful first half with McInnes clearly shitting the bed. Scored completely against the run of play and were lucky to only be 2-1 down at half time. Bit better in second half but not sure if that was because they were cruising by then. Looked a penalty to me but others suggesting it was not. Sad thing is I fully expected us to get beat so I have to question my sanity for actually turning up to watch this pish.

In a moment of weakness I stupidly bought a ticket for this. Have a horrible feeling I will be regretting it come half 4 tomorrow. McInness would be off his head to play an injured Jack tomorrow and can only hope this is mind games as Rico says. With Taylor likely to start I cannot see the unwashed not scoring at least a couple. Would rather we stuck with O'Connor and Reynolds at the back and gave Storie a run along side McLean in midfield. Would stick with Storey and Rooney up top as well as their back 4 does look weak so maybe we could get at them with 2 up. At worst it would give Rooney and Storey more game time together. In Bar in centre then late dash by taxi to the Tattie bowl. Away end Train back to Edinburgh 3-1 The green orcs with McGinn scoring for us
