I'm sure James Collins felt the same way at Cheltenham races recently.

[jax67]

I've watched it every Saturday morning since.
My dad was a life long Hibby who passed away just a few days after seeing us lift the cup. The look on his face after the final whistle is etched in my memory. Think I'll watch it every Saturday morning, until the next one!🙏🏻

Ladies and gentleman. You are witness to a moment of Scottish sporting history

Having watched [probably] all of the clips, I've eventually worked out that Ian Crocker actually says, "a moment in life" first then "a moment in time, a moment in history" but it's hardly ever broadcast :nerd::tee hee: :thumbsup:

Still can't help watching that moment when the third goes in. I'd love to relive the last ten minutes of that game again, not knowing what's going to happen. Nothing in terms of Hibs will top that. One of the best moments in my life full stop.

Ooh, it's a corner! :-)

Watched the game again last night, in honour of Sam.
The memory marches on.

[Dunedin Hibs]

Wonderful. RIP.

Indeed. Very sorry to hear of your loss. But being with family that day was priceless. I was with my dad, having travelled back from New Zealand for the game.

Wrote a song about it and did video. Posted previously on this forum, but good to get it out there. All free download. Celebrating that day and our wonderful captain:

Having watched this many many times, when the commentator goes "stokes on a hat trick" and it is saved, keatings almost got a toe on it. Can you imagine if he did and it went out for a goal kick!!! Thank f@&£ he missed it.

I really like LM.

I used really like IC until I heard him saying are Hibs going to Hibs it, minutes before we won the cup.

I know I am in the minority but I prefer the bbc commentary

I think we can forgive him that, he was doing neutral commentary for hundreds of thousands of people - no problem with a bit of humour.

Those 10 minutes will NEVER be forgotten. Emotional roller coaster, i cried a little at the equaliser, tears were streaming when the 3rd went in.

I had no idea who scored, no idea what had happened, i seen that net wobble at that was it. Pandamonium. I well up everytime i think about it or watch it back.

Put alot of demons to bed for alot of people!

The bit that annoyed me about him saying it, ironically, is that he says "Not even they could do that"... well, technically if you take the meaning and the intention of the 'Hibsed it' phrase, we are the team that absolutely WOULD do it.

Fortunately the team changed the meaning of 'Hibsed' in the next few moments and the rest is history, while The Rangers and the Yams come to terms with having both 'Sevcoed it' and 'Heartsed it' respectively in their attempts to stop us winning the Cup.

[matty_f]

It would be incredible to do it again. Will go down as one of the defining moments in my life. It's so easy to take myself back there, as soon as I think about it I think of the bedlam after the winner went in, looking around at loved ones with me, seeing my son crying with happiness (in stark contrast to the last time he cried at Hampden), my Dad and Uncle both retired and having to wait their whole lives to see that moment. My Dad always maintained we'd do it one day!

Over the years (many moons ago) I've tried many different substances and nothing has come anywhere near the euphoric feeling that I had right at that moment in time.

I love watching the game again, especially the last few moments. One of my favourite bits is just on full time, the camera cuts to Stubbs celebrating and there's just a blur behind him as John Doolan (I think) charges past up the touchline. :greengrin

Just about to watch the highlights again. Hairs standing on my neck already.

[Onceinawhile]

Im not saying i just watched it again. But two things.

1) why doesn't fyvie put stokes clean through earlier??

2) why doesn't keatings finish the rebound???

[Onceinawhile]

Also, i wish there had been a camera on sparky when the third went in.

[Northernhibee]

1 - Look at the gap that the through ball would have to be threaded through - it was closing all the time. Clever play by Fyvie. Have to admit I thought it was an odd ball before watching the highlights.

2 - It's too far away from him and it was at a split second

3 - Who really cares? :flag::gwa:

Slow forward, slow forward.

Any chance we can keep this as a thread for people watching the final at random times (usually drunk)

Nah, that gap was closing. Could honestly be a different story if he'd tried it. Was a safety first kind of pass but glad he made it.

[California-Hibs]

Has anyone thought what might have been if it had finished 2-2 and went to extra time? We winning it in extra time, losing? Winning on penalties? All ifs and buts, just an interesting thought. I think the way the game was going all the momentum was with us and still would of been in extra time. We'd still have got the job done!

[Northernhibee]

Think of the hundreds of thousands of different people - perhaps over a million, in fact quite probably - who have walked through the turnstiles in the last 114 years. We were the lucky 21,000 or so who actually got to see it, hear it and feel it.

This is probably the wine talking but **** me, the 21st of May was the best day of my life and it was a ****ing honour to experience it with you all :flag::flag::flag:

What about your wedding day?

Un ******g believable - she even text Hayley at 4:50 just to say "i love your fiancee"

Edit:
Didn't adress the point. Yes it was the greatest day ever and that isn't just the beer speaking. I have never, ever, felt a rush like the moment i realised we had won it.

I've never shed tears like that ever, despite the deaths of numerous people close to me.

Just un be leive avle.

If you take the green tinted glasses off you'd still call that the greatest Scottish cup final of all time - an early goal, an equalizer, both teams hitting the post, one team looking as if they'd won it and the other team turning a goal deficit to a victory in injury time.

But we were in it, and we won it. After putting the reigning holders out after a replay, and putting our biggest rivals out after being two down with ten minutes to go at their club.

It's undeniable. We saw the greatest ever run to the Scottish Cup. And it was us who did it :flag:

When I'm grey and old I'll still be talking about the 21st of May to anyone who'll listen. Maybe they'll have invented something by then that'll let us relive it. I can only hope so as in terms of supporting Hibs I fear we've peaked :flag:

[Onceinawhile]

It's not like we beat a team who gave us constant abuse after being 2-0 down with 10 to go, then beat the cup holders, then beat a team from the league above us. Then and only then did we play the famous Glasgow rangers.

But the boys in blue got (insert rude word) 3-2 by the famous Edinburgh hibees....

[Onceinawhile]

Still can't believe we won it. Vs them. Like that.

[Broken Gnome]

Ditto 👍👍👍

But he should still make that pass earlier!!!

Likely knew that Stokes had ripped Tavernier a new one the whole game. Getting him one on one was pretty much being clean through anyway.

A winner by a Hibs captain tops a winner by a loan player anyway. All's well that ends well.

I love the sequence of commentary leading up to what you quoted and the guy delivers it in a Yorkshire accent (I think) with a fair bit of genuine enthusiasm. He was also amazingly not biased against Hibs.

"Again he's got Tavernier on toast here - and it could very well have been stuck in by Keatings had Fotheringham not got the fist to the ball. Henderson's delivered - it's a header and it's in - and wouldn't you know it - it's the captain David Gray that re-writes history for Hibernian football club! 114 agonizing years brought to an end by a bullet header by David Gray of Hibernian! The scenes on the terraces are incredible! History re-written at Hampden Park - and it's re-written in big green pen!"

I'm not saying I'm watching it again, but I'm fed up of these bottling pricks, 2-1 down to rangers ffs.

Still at least we've got 11 minutes to get back into it and a corner.

Shame that henderson is on them. His corners are terrible.

Well don't I feel daft. 2-2 stokes header. Hope we hold on for extra time.

[Onceinawhile]

Ffs. Fyvie had a great chance to put stokes clean through. Left it too long and pushed him wide. Keeper makes the save and keatings can't be bothered to tap in the reboind.

Corner hibs.

Yer darn tootin'. Not many football fans have felt that type of elation. The hoo-doo, the dourness of supporting Hibs post 2007 and the actual way the football match rip-snorted along all combined to provide a very rare high at the final whistle.
