I love Cliff Pike, just as it's started to calm down from Gray's header (if that's even possible) and Rangers kick off, he goes "well, what do you now? What do you do now?!"
Summed it up perfectly for me, that sense of sheer "we've never been here before" territory that overcame me when Rangers got the game back underway. I have never been so terrified in my life, I was like a baby.

The best commentary which pretty much summed up the thoughts of the Hibs support in the seconds after Gray bulleted in the winner is from HibsTV’s Conor Rafferty.
“NO DANGER!”PERSEVERE
Verb: pə:ːsɪ'ˈvɪə/
To not give up.
To go the distance.
To stop at nothing.

But then French was never my strong point.

The French commentary is the dugs but I remember watching an American one, a bit like Soccer Guy.

I loved Ian Crocker’s commentary. He clearly understood what it mean to Hibs.
’At last, at last, at last’ always brings a tear to my eye.

It's funny really, I haven't attended a game since 2000 (Hibs v Celtic, think Jack got sent off) and I wasn't ever going to rock up to a final as I hadn't 'deserved it as a fan' - my thoughts and I've no axe to grind with anyone who did btw. I've always considered myself a very lapsed fan on here.
But watching the video over and over, the bit where you see two face painted girls in the crowd with their hands over their eyes as Henderson steps up to deliver. And the bit when we DO score and there's a view over the shoulder of one woman who is literally shaking and waiting for final whistle... Those bits get me welling up each time.
I can't imagine what it must have been like for the ST holders and those who have constantly rocked up to see Hibs play some utterly crap games. Payback? Nah, to me it seems a lot more. I don't well up because 'my team did it'. Because of my lapsed fan nature, I can't claim that. But to think of all those guys I used to go with and who sat around me, I don't even know if one of their fathers is still alive. That's the bit that makes me wanna cry like a 2 year old. Generations of (sorry to be sexist) fathers and sons who didn't see that and for those of you who one of you was there but the other wasn't? Well, for everything else there's Mastercard.
The teams that got relegated (including the one I saw under McLeish) - I consider them to be 'my teams' because I still think of myself as a Hibby in many ways. But that team that won the cup? The bit that makes me really want to sob is because it was your team and that's something special. I don't know any of you on here (although I think I taught one of you and probably sat over a parent's night table with another...) but it was all those regular posters that I was thinking of when that whistle went.
I'm not sure I explained that well but I hope I did!

I've been to every cup final we've played in since 1971 (and hundreds of games in between) with more or less the same band of Hibbies.
At this final I was standing there thinking about the one guy who couldn't make this one game. After Sir David's goal my missus tells me I was just staring at the ground with clenched fists before exploding when the final whistle went. Can't say where most of us ended up after that, for legal reasons!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I love the West stand stone as well (not sure who it belongs to) that says "Wow. Just wow! 21.05.2016". Pretty much sums up the feeling at FT, sheer disbelief.
