Crass idea? Seems like a great idea to me.

Let the girls team do it. They can parade both Scottish Cups.

We're not even at home. Seems like the sort of thing Hearts would do to be honest.

**Andy74** · 09-01-2017 04:54 PM

Do we imagine it might be a surprise to Bonnyrigg that we won the cup and have the trophy?

Obviously not but that's not quite the same as parading the trophy at an away game.

Guess you had issues when we paraded it at Meadownbank pre season also? This being an away game with an 'away' crowd bigger than the home one, at a neutral ground...

Some sensitive souls on here. If we lose it will be far more than because we paraded the trophy at half time or before the game when no players will see it.

Seriously, if this were to even be discussed within the walls of Easter Road then I'm sure Lennon would nip it in the bud.

He's a total professional and wouldn't want any distractions or any additional motivation for the oppositon, no matter who they are.

I wasn't really picturing laps of honour and fireworks, more the cup being brought out with the teams for our first defence of it. The chance to walk the cup out at Tynecastle is too great to pass up I reckon.

So he cancelled the flag unfurlings when he was at Celtic I presume?

I don't remember Celtic unfurling flags at other teams grounds.

Was the ground in question your point?

You seemed to be suggesting it was more a case of being a distraction , unprofessional and motivating for the opposition. I can only assume Lennon didn't share that view when the flags were being unfurled.

Jeese-Louise. The way some threads go...

are you planning on running on the pitch again?

**~~2016 Delivered~~** · 09-01-2017 05:35 PM

I can't see it being allowed. Hertz didn't do it before we knocked them out in their first defence but I suppose we were tennants, Bonnyrigg are for the day too and not our pink pals. If they agree and advertise it will mean more on the gate hibs end and more cash for the rose.

They would do it 100% at Starks Park for the love in coming up, if...they didn't bottle it BIG time.

The ground is part of it.

This is their home tie and we are guests. Would we talk about parading the cup if we were drawn away at Dundee or Raith? As a fan I'd have no problem if this were at ER as we are the hosts but I'd understand if Lennon took the view that it would be a distraction.

There are similarities to unfurling a league flag but it's not the same. That is a traditional ceremony that's performed at your home ground every year and is nothing out of the ordinary. Parading a cup during your first defence, especially away from home, most certainly is as far as I'm aware.

Who knows, the opposition might get a boost at these flag unfurlings but the consequences of them overperforming would be less severe for the unfurlers. Leagues aren't lost in 90 minutes but you can be put out of cups.

And what's your point caller? It's a fans forum. We're just having a debate. Sorry if that doesn't meet with your approval.

Indeed. A thread about Hibs displaying the cup where two opposing sides are discussing the merits of Hibs displaying the cup in a civilised fashion.

Or are there posts about away season tickets or Holt on this thread that I've missed?

**Mr_F** · 09-01-2017 05:52 PM

If we don't do it now I'll be raging. Already typed my letter to LD and saved it in drafts

I can't recall any team ever doing this having won the cup. All seems a bit petty and pointless really.....Sort of thing Hearts would do. Each to their own I suppose.

Peter a love you to bits but i keep hearing posters on here referring to Bonnyrigg rose getting motivation, a boost, Gee them up etc.. Deary me FFS if we cannae beat Bonnyrigg ****ing rose we may as well give it up now..I couldnae give a flying **** if it motivates them 1 million percent or not, The day we start worrying about giving a junior team a boost is the day i'l hang up my season ticket.

Bonnyrigg rose deary , dearie me.

***HibbiesandtheBaddies*** · 09-01-2017 06:07 PM

Would be a giggle like...

Incidentally, every time that trumpet Scott Wilson opens his trap he should be roundly silenced by "2 nil and yous @@@@@@ it up!"

**~~PISTOL1875~~** · 09-01-2017 06:28 PM

Perhaps bonnyrigg could give us a guard of honour ???

**Brooster** · 09-01-2017 06:29 PM

I'm not sure its the right thing to but.......LETS DO IT.

***Jonnyboy*** · 09-01-2017 06:30 PM

Was at the home of golf today so don't see why it can't now visit the home of Rolf
