Are you still in two minds about going tomorrow?

[Mikers110]

Anybody still dithering about going to the game tomorrow, then I suggest you go to the vault and spend a couple of mins on this.

I can't understand anyone who goes week in week out, commits hundreds to STs every season but doesn't bother going to see the cup holders in 1/4 of the cup, it's up to the individual of course but I don't get it.

After the 2007 SC game v Dunfermline we didn't return to Hampden in a semi final for five years.

Tomorrow gives us a chance to make our sixth semi final in five years. It's not going to last forever.

the pathetic display against St Mirren probably made 3,000 folk decide they had alternative things they'd rather do.

I'll be going because I go to all the games.

But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't already thinking about the game at Tannadice.

But it's the Hibees, it's the Scottish cup quarter final, and a win gives us another Hampden day out!

We're the holders of the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years and we're at home against a team we SHOULD beat (I'm aware of our recent record against them) and get back to Hampden.

If you're in a position to go, get yourself down to Easter Road this afternoon.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Added today's game to my season ticket before the midweek debacle. I'll be there.

Ditto - and a couple of post match beers with mates who are also at the game, where can it possibly go wrong?

[Johnny Clash]

On way up fi sunny London - will be gutted if we play like we did against St. Mirren but always the optimist!

I'm totally convinced our last game in this Cup run will be at Hampden - hopefully in May!!

[ArmadaleHibs]

It seems a lot of fans are doing to the team what some of the players are doing. Not giving 100%. Were all in it together. I was at paisley on Wednesday and it was utter garbage. I'll still be there today.

Last 2 results and poor performances have dented folk's mood and attitude to today's game, and has probably knocked thousands off todays' crowd. Despite being holders, the Scottish Cup for the first time in decades means little compared to the league where we are faulting. Who would have thought ?

[danhibees1875]

If ever there was a remedy for the disappointment of waking up early on a weekend it's spending the extra time going through 14 pages of this amazing weekend.

A few links no longer work, but some sensational footage.

This even had me a little concerned when going through the tweets:

"82' Gray is in discomfort after a superb challenge on Sheils to halt a Rangers attack. Gunnarsson prepares to come on..."

Thankfully...

"83' Gray is okay to continue and Hanlon is subbed off, and on comes Gunnarsson 2-2"

Come on Hibs! Let's get ourselves back to Hampden.

Why can't it? We are currently the fourth biggest team based on attendances, when we get promotion our club will grow stronger and we will cement our place in the top echelons of Scottish football.

Looks like many of our fairweather fans/supporters are downing tools today. This will lead to a smaller crowd,but much better atmosphere provided by those with Hibs in their blood .
I dont think I have many years left, but will still sacrifice more than eight hours of my life to see my beloved Hibernian attempting to retain a cup which took the club 114 years to win.

Will the ticket pods be selling tickets?

[Johnny Clash]

21st May 2016 was probably the best day of my life.

The next day in Leith brought home the reality of what our team had achieved. Hibs supporters turned out in their tens of thousands to back the team. The scenes of unbridled celebration down The Walk, in Leith Links and inside countless pubs will live in our memories forever.

We follow on this year by pumping the jumbos to reach the quarter finals as we sit 7 points clear on top of the league. Neil Lennon and our team were once again proclaimed heroes and seranaded off the pitch to another full blooded rendition of Sunshine on Leith. I get back to London and a random tube driver tells me he saw SoL on the internet and couldn't believe how passionate the Hibs support was - it made the hairs stand up on the back of his neck .

So.... Yes... just like the run up to the 21st May ... we've seen a couple of poor results come our way but FFS!!

Seriously? The team that are the current cup holders? That's the spirit.

[pedroorange1875]

Ayr UTD are not a big team and this is in no way a "glamour" tie so i have the same mentality as our team....im not going to bother turning up

[green with envy]

Like most i was pretty pissed of when i exited the game on Wednesday, but i've since dusted myself down and now looking forward to it.

[mutley]

It has been p155ing down all morning, wasn't looking forward to going out in that, but seems to be clearing up, so time for a spot of breakie, few wee diy jobs, then off to ER for me

I'd actually been swithering all week. Moving house shortly and got stuff needing done, weather forecast is crap, belts being tightened for a couple of reasons and so on.

Decided yesterday it was a bit of a daft game to miss so added a ticket to my ST card. Looking forward to it now.

[Docc109]

Not a ST holder. Get along to as many games as work and other activities allow. Got my ticket for today and hoping for a good win.

[H18 SFR]

Really hope the ST holders who haven't committed to attend come.

[murray26]

I don't know about anyone else but I want to be at Hamden park in April.. preferably against the newco Huns.. how good would giving them it again be.. get yourself along today and cheer us on to Hamden..

[O'Rourke3]

Ticket bought and family issue now cropped up meaning I'm missing this afternoon. Need to sort stuff out here but gutted at missing this cup tie.

[Thecat23]

Wait a min, so because of two bad performances you will miss today's game? That's the spirit, chuck a tantrum and pie the current cup holders. I've read some brutal posts on here lately but this is up there.

Can understand folk who maybe have other commitments like work etc or can't afford it. But seriously give yourself a shake and back the team. If we reached the final would you pie that as well if we weren't playing well leading up to it...... Didn't think so!

[wookie70]

I was as p**sed of as I can remember with Hibs when I walked out of Paisley. Unfortunately, it was very predictable given the league form of the team and the formation chosen by Lennon. I'll still be giving it my best today going to ER and paying the admission whilst shouting on my heroes. Let's hope the team and manager give us something to shout about.

Lets be honest though, its not really 2 bad performances is it

[Thecat23]

How anyone can be in two minds about going today is beyond me. If you can go and don't have anything else to do and can afford it why would you not be there to back the boys?

Prob same folk who'd be squealing like little kids about tickets if we reached another final!!

[Thecat23]

Lets be honest though, its not really 2 bad performances is it

So that justifies it? You don't chuck your team because of it, we are holders and correct me if I'm wrong 7 clear at the top?

[pedroorange1875]

Yes it does justify it. I cant sit and watch slow boring pedestrian football anymore, with no plan other than to play along the back at snails pace for the majority of the games, we should be 27 points ahead never mind 7...and lets not kid ourselves this has been the fare for 1 season only....its not against an A grade team today we will win this easy so ill not need to bother turning up...thats the teams mentality so it will do for me

[emerald green]

Why does anyone have to justify to anyone else why they choose to attend, or not attend, a football match?

[Malthibby]

Meybes shows we are getting spoiled with our cup runs; 1/4 final at home?
Don't know if I have ever missed one out of choice & I'm certainly not today, myself
and the wee man, his mum & her mum & even looking forward to it.

If we supported based on results ER would have been flats a long time ago.

Speaking personally, I've turned up at ER some days where less than 5,000 hardy souls were scattered over a huge stadium. I'm not looking for a medal though.

[hibee_nation]

If this was a league game i would not care what the crowd was 10,000 big deal.But the defence of the cup i was hoping it meant alot to us obviously not.I am disappointed but not surprised.

Fair comment. I'll concede that. However, I still desperately want to see Hibs back in the top flight of Scottish football.

Otherwise, what's the point?

[Scott Allan Key]

Got a ticket. A wee bit of magic please Hibs.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Thus Uberfan stuff is nonsense. I've a season ticket, sponsor one of our players and I'm not going because it has been pretty garbage to watch recently, apart from the notable exception.

The two previous games against Ayr hardly whet the appetite to add to the previous XXXX amount spent on following my team.

I'll still be checking the score all afternoon.

[Thecat23]

whats not true about it?

So your taking the hump even though we are top by 7 points and STILL in the cup. Great attitude to have!

Missing the point completely, it's not about uberfans at all. Folk taking the huff because it's not silky football. To many watching Sky games for me. Yes the football can be **** but it's Hibs, do we only watch Hibs when it's good?

Folk choosing to pie the game because "we're *****" is poor. Would you not go if we reached the final and had been playing pish?

We have been mainly terrible for 6/7 seasons now, i simply have now had enough, my great attitude kept me buying season tickets, away game tickets, cup tickets, loads of merchandise, all for me and the wee man. I simply have now completely had enough. I cant watch the same utter boring, pedestrian, turn up when we want nonsense...as i asked you before, what was not true?

It's not missing the point it is people deciding to spend money elsewhere, or not at all, because the product has been poor.

I love my wife but sometimes I need a break from her if she is getting on my tits, same applies here for me. Been to loads of games this season but I just couldn't get excited for this one, regardless of the cup etc... If it had been a league game on my season ticket I would have been there.

Not of we get Celtic :greengrin

Today was an obvious banana skin which many Hibs teams past would have slipped up on. Full credit to the lads for yet another good Cup win.

The way Hibs have gone about trying to defend the cup should be applauded by all, including the media. Don't think we get nearly enough credit for our Cup win last May or our continued run.
