I'm actually torn on the Well vs Dons game though - depending on form going into that one, may fancy an away win, or a win after a replay. Brown is due a win against his old team isn't he...?

I await OMC's backlash...

I wish I was as confident, our record against the well is crap, mind you it is a cup game, so you never know, and Well's form has dipped coyr!!

I think we've a really tough game. United have hit form, and last time we were up there they hadn't yet we only got a narrow win. We'll need to be at our best, but United will fancy their chances.

The other games - can't see past Hearts at home after gubbing St Mirren there last time, a home win for Motherwell is probably the best bet there, and who knows what Hibs will turn up against the winner between two teams who have has decent cup results already this season. Pretty much our last chance for a cup shock this season!

I'm just glad Aberdeen are still in the cup as I feared the worst when Queen of the South equalised.

Hearts on the TV again for the quarters, live on BBC.

[Psychoheart]

Be nice if Sky are showing two games again. We could get Motherwell some TV time then. Think they've had about 90 seconds so far!

It's funny, half of me is pleased we get a lot of TV games - but at the same time it can have a negative effect on attendance, due to kick off time and being on the box. Under 10,000 at the home tie with St Johnstone (although could've been worse considering its not a season ticket game).

Just look at the Ibrox crowd against United when it was on BBC!

Ian Crocker tweeted that Sky will indeed show Motherwell v Aberdeen.

Wonder if they'll also show United vs Celtic - you'd think they would...?

[Psychoheart]

Yeah, that was confirm last week. Moved to the Sunday 1.15. Only game not on TV is the still undecided one.

Did they say what day it will be on?

The FULL Quarter Final line-up, at last!

Ayr United vs Hibs
Dundee United vs Celtic
Hearts vs St Mirren
Motherwell vs Aberdeen

[Laurie]

As I have ALREADY mentioned, I'd love to see Edinburgh and 'New Firm' derbies in the semi finals.

What would your ideal semi final line-up be? Who do you think WILL go through?

The Quarter Final line-up is almost complete, just tomorrow's tie between Ayr and Falkirk to come.

Ayr or Falkirk vs Hibs
Dundee United vs Celtic
Hearts vs St Mirren
Motherwell vs Aberdeen

How does everyone feel now - who do you reckon will make it to the semi finals?

I have to say, I'd love to see an Edinburgh derby in one semi final, and Dundee United against Aberdeen in the other.

Sadly, I think Celtic will go through - and the semi finals will probably be contested between the holders, Hearts, Motherwell and....hmmmm....Hibs...?

Here it is in case you missed it

I'd rather get a United - Aberdeen final or if United don't go through, a Hibs - Hearts final. Both would be great occasions. But neither will happen.
