Hibs.net & 2001 Final

[johnrebus]

Feeling really weird, kinda numb actually. Managed to avoid the tension, up until now......., :worried:



Got to thinking back eleven years to the 2001 SCF and to the team we had then.

Can remember how up for it everyone on the old Rivals.net site were, but it was just not to be. Looking back, our only real hope went when Eck displayed the worst timing of any football manager in history by sacking Latapy.......,


I'm not saying we will do it tomorrow, but it will surely be a better day than back in 2001, I can only recall us having one chance in the whole game - Libbra?


Anyway, own up.

I posted under the name Midlothianhibby back then, can't remember why I changed it.


Who else is still here posting on this site from the old days of Rivals?



:I'm waiti

[HibeeMG]

Aye, I'm a Rivals veteran.

Same username now as back then.

I was there on the old site as well and think I had the same username. Tomorrow is a totally different situation than 2001. Celtic were an excellent team Im know we had a good team too but they were good. The difference between the teams this time is way less.

[Hibbyradge]

Yep.

[Just_Jimmy]

I was wee_mad_mental_hibby.

I was 15, and remember greeting my eyes out when we got beat. Ian Murrays drag back on the by line was the highlight for me. Oh the joys eh!

We've earned this.

Go and take it Hibs.

[Speedway]

Yep, was there under this username myself.

We lost to the better team that day, no complaints.

[hibbymac]

Ohhhh yesss.

GGTTH

You're right of course - Celtic were a very good side then, I suppose I find it difficult to be confident because its THEM we are playing.

But the tide has to change sometime, so what better day than tomorrow?


Have been praying for five weeks now.....,

Thats a Sauzee was my fav
And fond memories of Hibbyradge

Celtic had probably the best side the league has had in the last 20+ years.
When you look back on it we were never going to win that year. This is different though.

I was on Rivals as well (same username) shortly before they binned off all the SPL sites (in fact, all of their sites apart from Premier League ones if memory serves me right).
