Big/Wee Cup Shan Patter

[Frazerbob]

Any chance we can stop referring to the Scottish & League Cups as the Big & Wee cups? It's so very Yammish.

Only they went on about the big cup/ wee cup. Now that we have the big cup, i'm pretty sure they'll completely shut up about it now.
Ps when did they last win the wee cup?

It's purely in retaliation to them so I understand it. But it's always been the "league cup" to me. They undermine it because they've not won it in over 50 years. They'd have changed their story if they'd beaten st mirren recently

Exactly. "We've no won the big cup since......" songs are funny but other than that it's the Scottish Cup for me.

Wee team big cup
Big team nae cup

[Pretty Boy]

I loved winning the League Cup as well and should we lift it in November I'd be delighted.

The wee cup/big cup is just a reaction to the 'banter' of the Hearts fans over the years. Their 'wee cup' nonsense was just because they couldn't win it when we did. None of them will admit it publicly but they will be desperate to win the 'wee cup' now because the fact every Hibs fan over 8 has seen their team win both will annoy them something awful.

Absolutely, it's now completely irrelevant . As per 16.50 last Saturday their Big cup Wee cup crap was erased in one glorious header.

:agree:

It's disrespectful to our teams of 07,91 and the tornadoes

It's belittling their achievements by even sarcastically referring to it as "wee".

Indeed. But super John and Lewis Stevenson have both won both trophies more recently than hearts.

Wee team big cup
Big team nae cup

Superb! LOL

[Big_Franck]

They've no won the league cup for 53 years. In contrast we've now won both cups in the last 9 years. We'll need to get a song related to this for the next derby.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Such a wee cup that hearts have boycotted it since 1962.

[Bishop Hibee]

I don't and never have. Hertz fans are the only ones who refer to them as such.

[Waxy]

Hibees both cups, jam tarts one cup

[High-On-Hibs]

Any chance we can stop referring to the Scottish & League Cups as the Big & Wee cups? It's so very Yammish. It's tongue in cheek mate. I don't think any Hibs fan considers one to be a greater achievement than the other. I was equally ecstatic when we won the League Cup. It's just funny to use it against the fudbos. Turning their own shan patter against them. It's like stabbing them with their own sword.

[Hi Heid Yin]

The 3 MAJOR trophies up for grabs each season are The League Championship, The Scottish Cup and The Scottish League Cup
Winning any of the two MAJOR cups is a MAJOR achievement. Only the Jambos dishonestly belittle the League cup simply because we keep winning it and they don't.
Their failure to win that particular cup in 54 years now stands as an embarrassment and so they really must keep on belittling it to try and save face.
Now that our boys have removed the 114 years tag, the 54 years and counting tag sits with the Jambos.
How utterly satisfying is that?
We Hibbies need to ram it down their gorgie throats at every opportunity.

I know it started as a GIRUY to them but if you read most threads on here it's creeping into general chat. Leave that pish to them.

Was about to say something similar.
For a while there were daft comments about the League Cup no longer being a major trophy because it didn't bring a European place any more :rolleyes:
The Scottish Cup is more prestigious than the League Cup and always has been but both are still major trophies.
Given how difficult it has been for anyone outside the obvious 2 to win the league in recent years, winning either of the 2 cups (without financial doping) is still a massive achievement.
When someone else actually does win their fans remember it forever.
This decade :-
Ask Killie
Ask St Mirren
Ask Aberdeen
Ask Ross County
Ask St Johnstone
Ask ICT
Ask Hibs :greengrin

:flag::flag::flag:I totally agree with you, and for the previous poster re-the song.....tell all the jambos you know, .for 54 years, you've no won the cup, you've no won the cup for 54 years in arrow. ram it upum!! for another poster, it's yammish. oh is it? get it right up the bassas. they gave me it for the last 49 years so they are due it.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Totally agree with the OP ....... it only ever became 'the wee cup' to the Yams because they had won the Scottish but just simply couldn't do it in the League cup whereas we could .. therefore they simply had to belittle our achievement any way they could.

Well now that's changed ....... we have a losing streak in the league cup of 9 years and a losing streak in the Scottish Cup of 0 years. They have a losing streak in the league cup of 54 years and a losing streak in the Scottish cup of 4 years.

Now its our turn to talk about 1962 and time for them to start talking about curses ... 54 years is a long time :greengrin

[Edinburgher]

You know, even the Huns were delighted to win the Petrofac this season saying that they were going for the "treble" (and that was with straight faces), as we all know Hearts fans obsession with size comes from a feeling of inadequacy due to the fact that they have only won three cups in 50 odd years whilst proclaiming to be Scotland`s third best supported club! Hearts - so big they have to keep saying it!

[lyonhibs]

This fascination with size has long been a Jambo trait. Bet the Kickback massive has been out with the rulers praying for an above-average cock length since Saturday.

Prayers that have doubtless gone unanswered.

Since 19 six two..... It's a double whack!

Correct, glorious to see St Mirren beat them in the final, a team they despise and blame for loosing the league in 86. Solely to hide the fact that it was in THEIR hands and it was theirs with 10 minutes to go.

Now that is the definition of bottling it.

[21.05.2016]

I agree, it just more guff the yams come out with in their obsession with being "the big team". Not even celtic fans come out with the same cringeworthy stuff the yams do.


Funny how when they got to the final in 2013 the so called "wee cup" suddenly became important and we were losers for not getting to the final like them.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Hearts big cup is the Champions League?

[Keith_M]

The Big Cup/Wee Cup is a Hearts invention, an attempt to belittle our achievements in winning a trophy they seem incapable of winning themselves.

The only time Hibs Fans have used this term is in reference to them, not to belittle the achievement of winning the League Cup but to show them how this has now backfired.

It'll soon die down, so don't worry about it.

[21.05.2016]

Are they no meant to be winning that sometime soon, i'm sure Romanov told them 10 years.

Thats it isn't it, real big clubs don't have to keep giving "oh look at us! look how big we are! big team, wee team etc etc" every chance they get. They seem to believe that the more they say it over and over again the truer it will become. Very very sad indeed. Would you ever hear Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd, Liverpool fans etc or even celtic fans become so obsessed in this big team/wee team nonsense. No because they ARE big teams, they don't have to keep saying it over and over again trying to convince people (and themselves). It seems to be only hearts that have such an obsession, an obsession that got so huge that it nearly crippled them, bumping creditors to cheat themselves a bit of glory and fuel this pathetic wee big team delusion.

[HappyHanlon]

The "wee cup" pish will vanish because it was only referred to that as long as we didn't win the Scottish.

They creeps will now clutch at any trophy (including the East of Scotland shield).

Sad bitter tossers.

What's worse, they belittle the achievements of what was undoubtedly the best Hearts team in their own scattered history. Pre-doping.

:top marks

It's absolutely amazing that Hibernian have won the two major Cup competitions in the last 10 years. It must hurt the hertz big time that we won the Scottish Cup in the same year they had come up with the 'Hibsing it' which will now be 'hibsing it- winning the Scottish Cup against the odds'.

Magic.

Glory Glory

[Hibernia&Alba]

I always put the 'big cup' in inverted commas. We've won the 'big cup' and the League Cup in the past decade, as big clubs do. Small clubs, such as that in Gorgie, try to downplay a major domestic trophy, as befits their wee team mentality. Since 1962......

[Northernhibee]

Wee team big cup
Wee team wee cup
Big team two nil
Then they ****ed up

[Feed McGraw]

I`ll tell you what though, if you were a company thinking of sponsoring one of the cups the Scottish cup has an undoubtedly higher profile, but for some bizarre reason quite a lot of people refer to the league cup by the sponsors name i.e. " Skol cup, CIS cup - for years and years after the event still referring to it as the sponsors name - really annoys me and I think that belittles it a bit, some fellow hibbies are the worst culprits actually.

[cloudy]

We won the " big cup " in 90 plus 2

[killie-hibby]

Yams always go on about size.They would very quickly shut up if someone produced a measuring tape. Then they would very quickly realise what's big and what's small.
