On a positive note, modern medicine means I am probably going to be alive for another 100 years. I firmly do not believe I will see us win the cup in that time. And judging by today, this whole website is happy with that. 3-0 loss and this place is a party. The train back was a party. We are seemingly delighted with our improvement on last year. Pat actually wore a suit: Let's swing from the rafters. Was today ok because it wasn't Hearts??? I don't get it! Somebody enlighten me on the lack of criticism.

I agree to an extent. No we cannot be distraught about a loss to Celtic but at the same time we shouldn't just accept it bearing in mind how little we created. Heads went down after the goal. The marketing campaign at the start of the season was all good and well talking about a Hibernian with bottle but we needed leaders out there today to say we're playing well, we're still in this. It wasn't the same abomination last year was but we have to surely be aiming for better than this.

Having watched from afar I am also surprised to see the amount of comments about 'proud to be a Hibee' because the fans were loud.
Fact is we've just put on yet another pish display in a final and are still a laughing stock having not won the thing for 112 years. In a few weeks that's what will be remembered, not who sung the loudest.
As I say, having watched on TV (and made a considerable effort at quite s cost to do so), I could not care less if the fans set a new record for decibel levels at Hampden. We were still crap and barely turned up, again.

Richard Gordon said it perfectly for me "hibs fans come for a party".
Sorry but we should be going to win. I honestly think some are more interested in getting bevvied than the game.
I'm devastated after today yet some people are celebrating. Don't get me wrong I loved the last 10 minutes atmosphere from us. Just makes me upset we were not in the game at the time.
If that makes me a jobby, a yam or whatever I really don't care. I'm hurting inside.

Celtic have a quality of players that we can only dream about affording. They don't make as many mistakes, their movement is better and they have better technique.
That's why they won today. Not because we didn't want it enough or were happy to lose.
Football's a game of economics. Celtics wage bill is closer to Man Utds than it is to Hibs.

Sometimes though, passion, desire and the will to win can win these one off matches. Wigan did it, Ross County in the semi a few years back, Kilmarnock.

I can indeed. That's why we still go or else there would be no point in watching football at all.
But having passion and desire will only work if the other team don't have it. Celtic came to win today so the difference between the teams was their superior quality player.
Celtic have a squad full of million pound players. I,m disappointed we lost, and would liked us to have got at them more. The main reason that people are posting how proud they are is our support today was awesome. We backed our team to the hilt and showed our love for the club. I wont apologise for that. The BBC highlights tonight made a point at the end of talking about it and praising the Hibs support. Well deserved praise at that.

The supporters were magnificent and no-one is being asked to apologize for being proud. I'm certainly not angry we lost to Celtic, of course they should beat us but we had to make more of a fist of it than we did.

I think you are missing the point. We weren't celebrating we where supporting the team. Should we all just walk out and do nothing? These guys have worked hard to get to the final, I know because I went to every game. They deserved our support.

No one is happy with a 3-0 loss, get real.

Was gutted to miss the game today, followed online from San Francisco and disappointed team didn't really threaten or able to take the game to Celtic. BUT I was immensely proud of the support and positivity. Think the lads in the East Stand have made a massive difference in driving fan singing. Never prouder to be a Hibee!
It was surreal. Normally the end would have emptied but I have never, ever seen a Hibs crowd react like that before.
To the people who watched it on TV and don't understand, no offence but it was a genuine "you had to be there" moment. If you were there you would understand why it wasn't just about singing.
Getting beat wasn't great and of course I'm not happy with the outcome of the game but from a few moments before the end until after we collected the medals it was special. I'll remember that fifteen minutes over the result.
I'm totally and unashamedly proud of the team and the fans for their efforts yesterday. If anyone, be they an undercover jambo, a bed-wetter or someone who's still upset thinks my attitude is inappropriate then they can do one!:greengrin

They deserved the support - they made it to the final - the last 2 teams standing out of every team in the country.
We are only a laughing stock to those mutants with no club, no ground and 400,000 fans.

Hibs weren't poor yesterday, Celtic were good. The attacking diamond of Brown, Commons, Stokes and Hooper were clincal and determined to come away winners. Their defence was big, athletic and organised, so we had to work to get anything out of them, and we still created a couple of chances - if only our midfielders would pull the trigger every so often!
We worked hard, played some nice passes, tried to play the right way, and never gave up. In the end, for me, it came down to Celtic being more clinical that us. We got into some nice positions - but the final ball was just out, or the ball broke to the Celtic defender rather than our forward, or our midfield was too reluctant to shoot. I don't think we deserved to get beat by the scoreline we did. If we played like that against any other team in the league, I reckon we could have won, but it wasn't to be. No one in the SPL beats Celtic when they turn up and play to their potential. We just have to roll our sleeves up now, and do it all again next season.

Football's a game of economics. Celtics wage bill is closer to Man Utds than it is to Hibs.
You have summed it up perfectly!
footballing economics ruled the day, this had zero to do with lack of effort.. And yes the fans were magnificent, rather than partying this was a massive show of support for the team, that I am sure the players who are left next year will remember and will motivate! Sick of reading snide comments from folk who were not at the game...what we witnessed was true 100/0 support for our team, nothing to be ashamed of!

It was certainly a had to be there moment. I stayed right through to the end gave the team a rousing applause watched them lift the cup and it got me thinking maybe just maybe they have the experience now to lift the bloody thing next year.
What a support and looking at the stats (apart from the score) things were pretty much even. Just no cutting edge from us yesterday.
Always next year onwards and upwards and v v proud to be a hibby.

I think we will win the cup, and it's a question of when, not if. Today reinforced that for me, so I was singing loud and proud for the last 15 minutes. It's a great club.

What was the alternative yesterday? Fight with each other, chuck scarves on the pitch... turn your back on the team and write letters to the club you won't be back?

Sometimes though, passion, desire and the will to win can win these one off matches. Wigan did it, Ross County in the semi a few years back, Kilmarnock.
But only because the "big team" ALSO didn't turn up (eg Man City in this year's FA Cup final). Passion iisn't enough when the other team also has it and is bettter to start with.

If you think any of us in the stadium at full time were "celebrating" losing 3-0 then you need your head examined.
At full time I was singing hibs songs with my best friend and the guys next to us, the same bunch of people that when we went 2-0 down were on the verge of tears.
We weren't celebrating getting beat, we were sticking together and staying strong in the face of yet another Scottish Cup capitulation. If the players showed half the desire the fans have for winning the thing then maybe we would do it sometime in the next 100 years.

Exactly, we have folk having a pop at the fans for leaving early. we have folk criticising fans for sitting on their hands and not getting behind the team. Now we are wrong for backing the team to the bitter end?
I personally stayed and sang right to when we went up for the medals, because I was giving support to the future, the kids who have broken through this season. They are the reason I am so pleased and hopeful for the future.

Anybody who know anything about football will see the frightening speed of progress we've made over the past year, there will be other finals, today wasn't our day, 114 years and counting, so what, what's more important is that we've got a club to support, we've got a fantastic manager and a great attitude at the club, I would actually question his tactics at specific points yesterday but there was nothing we could've done to prevent that yesterday, Celtic were the better team, simple. Plus not to mention we seem to have another generation of incredibly talented youngsters coming through, that's why it's not all doom and gloom!

I understand the OP to an extent ..... it is incredibly frustrating that we just cant seem to win the bloody thing .. that was my 4th final.
But I can only repeat what other fans are saying. That was a show of defiance and pride at the end. Not pride in being defeated, but pride in being a Hibby. As somebody said about his mates ... at 2 - 0 I knew that the game was over and like them was nearly in tears when the 2nd goal went in.
Proud to be a Hibby today. Not because of a great team on the park .... but because of great fans off it.

Is it because the players did their best, showed passion and commitment, and were outplayed by a higher level of player.
Hearts had nothing to do with it. Something they are going to have to get used to.
Hibs showed real bottle to fight their way to the final. The club also lives within its means.

Defiance
Exactly. Everyone was gutted to have lost. But we were not going to be cowed by those smelly, glory-hunting tramps. It was a spontaneous reaction, a coming together of the support and about having pride in being a Hibee.

As good as Celtic are in terms of quality compared to ourselves, the way we conceded all 3 goals was totally unacceptable.
Celtic may have far better quality of player than ourselves. But none of them needed to work that hard yesterday for the goals. That's what peeves me off.

Good players make it look easy.
Look. At the first two goals. Replace williams and defenders with 3 council workers and we'd probably have cleared the danger twice.

On a positive note, modern medicine means I am probably going to be alive for another 100 years. I firmly do not believe I will see us win the cup in that time. And judging by today, this whole website is happy with that. 3-0 loss and this place is a party. The train back was a party. We are seemingly delighted with our improvement on last year. Pat actually wore a suit: Let's swing from the rafters. Was today ok because it wasn't Hearts??? I don't get it! Somebody enlighten me on the lack of criticism.
As a new poster I agree with the first post, everyone wants improvement but that was another very poor performance on the field. Ask someone in three years time who won the cup and the supporters performance will be forgotten. Cant get my head round this Tartan Army thing, turn up in numbers, make a noise and it doesn't mean a sh*t about the result

If you think any of us in the stadium at full time were "celebrating" losing 3-0 then you need your head examined.
At full time I was singing hibs songs with my best friend and the guys next to us, the same bunch of people that when we went 2-0 down were on the verge of tears.
We weren't celebrating getting beat, we were sticking together and staying strong in the face of yet another Scottish Cup capitulation. If the players showed half the desire the fans have for winning the thing then maybe we would do it sometime in the next 100 years.
Once again RE-READ MY POST :grr:
There is absolute no-way I was slating Hibs fans BUT mearly pointing out to the previous posters that I would never pay all the money I have paid to go to Hampden just for a 'day out' and then stay at the end cheering the team for losing 3-0, when indeed it was much more than that.

I think you (and a few others) have misunderstood. That's not what OsloHibs was saying at all. The comment was in response to people like Richard Gordon who said that Hibs fans were just there for a party and sing-song. OsloHibs then said that there's no way he would spend all that money travelling back just to have a sing-song and celebrate a 3-0 loss. I.e: He was proud to have come back to support his team and back them through the singing at the end, and to call it a "party" or a "singsong" diminishes what it was.
Thank you HibeeN for being able to read a post properly :not worth

Your post didn't make that clear though, otherwise a few of us would,nt have read it the way we did. I get your point now you have made it clearer, and maybe quoting the previous posters would have helped us.
