Happy Conrad Logan Day

***SouthMoroccoStu*** · 16-04-2019 09:35 AM

3 years ago today, the Hibernian supporters were at Hampden Park for the Scottish Cup Semi Final and were introduced to Conrad Logan...

This was (probably) the single greatest debut in history of the club

Ah. That Happy day when I realised that I wasn't the only goalkeeper that size. 😁

What a debut, what a legend.

First Impressions count for Nothing in this instance When I saw he walking into the Pitch My instant reaction was he doesn’t look Fit
By the End he was the Hero of the Hour He kept us in game time and time again and then capped it all off by looking like he could save every penalty

One of the greatest debuts in a Hibs jersey I have seen, what a man - Hero

Legend, no more to be said.

My first impressions were that he wasn't Mark Oxley so he was good enough for me

My first impression was that he had probably eaten Mark Oxley.

I wasn't confident at all.

Mind you, I told everyone that Henrik Larson was a huddy after my first impression of him too.

Was in a bar in Las Americas watching it. Remember a guy in Dundee Utd shorts laughing when Conrad walked out.

He quietly left after the penalties!

***matty_f*** · 16-04-2019 11:30 AM

It was the day I could rightly claim to have a footballer's physique.

He was immense that day, and what a part he played in one of the greatest moments in the club's history.

Oh that’s brilliant

Thought in celebration I'd share the link to the Dundee United semi final thread.....

That was quite a read. Did I really call Logan 'the White Nade' when he walked on

Not my finest hour. I like Pretty Boy calling him Matt Lucas

I was almost alone on the thread wanting Cummings kept on after his panenka miss. I still don't get the outrage about that; there is no less of a reason to try a panenka pen in a big game than any other time

It's a justifiable technique, he just messed up the execution on the day.

**Famous Fiver** · 16-04-2019 12:22 PM

Conrad.

Quite simply.

Thank you.

**Mick O'Rourke** · 16-04-2019 12:40 PM

HE CAME ,HE SAW, HE CONQUERED.

Conrad singlehandedly got us to the Final.
Without his outstanding, unsurpassed display that day against United, the past 3 years would be so much different.

Hail to the Great Conrad

King of All Ireland and Leith !

Absolutely incrediable story. 16 months out with injury, returns and becomes a hero on his debut then helps us finally win the SC after 114 years. Fairytale stuff.

An immortal Hibernian legend

Thank you, thank you, thank you Conrad

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 16-04-2019 02:46 PM

Absolute legend.

it is fun isn't it to read these after the event....a few dived in early with strong opinions...yet others were clearly trusting the coaches on the day....I recall my thoughts when I first saw him at Hampden..would have had egg on my face had I posted them on here...

Loved Onion saying, whoever goes through will be fodder in the final 😌

Perhaps most interesting might be the amount of regular posters who chose to follow that thread rather than attending a semi final.
Anyone got a link to the Inverness replay thread? Bet a different goalie took a pasting on that one too.

Anyway, lovely watching Conrad’s exploits again.

**Pretty Boy** · 16-04-2019 03:55 PM

Great day out and it was the kind of story that our eventual cup win was always going to have. I had seen Logan play a development game a week or so before and he'd looked very nervy but alls well that ends well.

And for the record I stand my opinion that from a distance Logan does resemble Matt Lucas!

There has been a fair turnover of regular posters since then. A few names who seem to have have disappeared.

I clearly used to watch the game rather than post incessantly about what I was watching.

To be honest, he's immense every day.

I'm not ashamed to say that an afternoon on the sofa in front of the live game with beer, Mexican food, a couple of friends and the kids seemed more attractive than another trek through to that bloody awful stadium...it'd only been a few weeks since I'd spent a couple of hundred quid getting to the League cup final only to get shafted by that latestaggies goal (plus my boy crying his eyes out saying 'we'll never win anything will we dad?). I also knew I wouldn't be attending the final even we got there. Logans performance goes down in history, and that penalty shootout was unforgettable, we all went Tonto round the living room and I wouldn't have changed a thing

Not anymore. He's now got a BMI of 60, 28' waist, rippling muscles and is a torso model for a well known jeans manufacturer.

You’re forgiven.
