Hearts or Thistle v ICT

Aberdeen or Rangers v Celtic.

WTF was the point in having that long legged blond lassie there?

this news program is pish !

And they’ll likely achieve at least two semi-finals this season

Decent draws against ***** for them. The minute they play any top 6 in a cup they bottle it. Like tonight against bottom of the champ.

I think Jambos or Partick v Celtic.

Well I got that wrong! :greengrin probably Jambos into the final, boooooooooo! :greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

Celtic will win the cup.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Assuming the maroonics squeak through to the final, let's hope they get Celtc in the final, needing to win for another treble. I wouldn't trust The Rangers not to mess it up, and Aberdeen usually bottle it.

That's because your pi5h. And so is your manager and his assistant.

[Steve20]

Neil Lennon’s record of losing at Hampden as Celtic manager is concerning. He also isn’t great against Hearts as a manager as his performances as our manager at Tynecastle showed. Even last week, he struggled to beat ten men. They should beat Hearts but you never know. Aberdeen would bottle it again in a final. Rangers are hit or miss, so on their day they could take Hearts comfortably.

Celtic the best bet to beat them in the final but not a certainty.

[Glory Lurker]

Is Naismith due back in time for the semi?

[BullsCloseHibs]

Hearts are going to be in the final lads. Sooner we accept it the better.

Good. Will gleefully watch Celtic defeat them. Don't care if its a scrappy 1-0 win for the hoops either. Celtic will take care of them. Don't rule out ICT or Partick though. Remember, Hertz are pi5h.

[BullsCloseHibs]

Is Naismith due back in time for the semi?

They put their players through the pain barrier all the time so, yes, he will play.

[erin go bragh]

Do Scottish Cup runners up go into Europe? Or does it go to 4th place?

Sorry to see they are still in it. Just goes to show you need a bit of luck to win the cup and they have had plenty with jammy draws and grim performances.

If they win the cup this time it will again be tarnished due to their recent £20m write off (this is a relatively small amount as it has been estimated around £80m was lost/hidden between 1996 - 2014.) Their last 3 cup wins were all won on a mountain of debt and a fair bit of financial cheating. These 3 cups were won after around 35 years of winning nothing.

What a stinking club they are.

[Bostonhibby]

Just to make it even funnier, was it not Spurs they claimed he turned down to sign for Hearts?Tottingwood Hotshots I believe.

Not sure I could cheer The Rangers, even against Hearts. The level of their corruption was far greater than Hearts were guilty of; not to mention their fans. Sevco winning trophies again would be a sickener. I will take Celtic or even Aberdeen, if the yams make the final. However, ICT will fancy their chances against them.

This just goes to show that there are no easy games in the last rounds of the cup, no matter who you are. I thought Thistle would get turned over tonight but what do I know?

I’m not bothered if Hearts get to the final or even win it to be honest. It’s nothing to do with Hibs and their “banter” doesn’t bother me. There’s part of me that prefers that scenario to the boring Celtic victory or Sevco winning their first trophy.

If you win the cup, you deserve to have your name on it, regardless of the draw (that is unless you do something like paying for players instead fulfilling your financial obligations like your taxes, training centre bills etc.. like in 2012)

It's a testing end to the season for Potter. If they fail to get to the cup final, and end up below Hibs in the league even Budge would have to weigh up whether another season of lumpen, mid-table football under Levein is sustainable. They're effectively a one-man team and if Naismith leaves they'll toil even more as they're effectively a one-man team this season.

I only saw the second half, but it was one of the worst halves of “football” I’ve seen. Hoofing from one to the other back and forwards to each other and scrambled games of head tennis until someone got the ball under control, knocked it back the hoofer and off we went against. Grim viewing.

For an organisation with such previous controversial sources of income and historic business failure, to shroud a large part of their current funding in secrecy means they should be afforded no praise for their financially doped pitch performance.

The least one could expect would be some transparency on their funding rather than a “We’re not telling you where it came from” approach.

[I'm Spartacus]

I do have a worry they will win it, it seems on paper that they really only have to win one game at Hampden, we all know how football is a funny old game and anything can happen.

I for one would hate to be at Hampden and my team torn apart for Celtic to win the Treble Treble, happy to duck out when we did.

I can only guess from this that you’ve never actually taken any time to watch him ...workrate is top class, holds the ball up well , good technique...not a natural goal scorer I would say ..but much more than a battering ram

[One Day Soon]

Hearts have to win something sooner or later - as it stands between the 2 of us

Last team to win the Scottish cup - Hibs
Last team to win the league cup - Hibs
Last team to win a league title - Hibs ;)
Last team to qualify for Europe - Hibs

& as for Craig Levein's trophy haul 🤣


That's rather good.

[bigwheel]

Just another Nade really.

Was a decent player on his day

He gets the ball punted to him and runs about a lot. Looks like he's going to fall over and for a forward he's utter mince. How many times last night did he bring his strike partner into play?

Huddy.

Huddy.

Workrate was phenomenal....He often held the ball up for many seconds and no one was getting near him to support ..take your blinkers off ..

I notice you’ve not mentioned the piece of skills when he chip the ball over the boy and almost scored ? Would have been an outstanding goal...Far from a huddy

[essexhibee]

I think that will be the final unfortunately.

Same. Rangers will turn Celtic over. :rolleyes: Would have to be Rangers you would want to win but my god it would only be slightly less horrific. They would be unbearable.

[MWHIBBIES]

He certainly is not an elegant football player BUT, on recent form he will cause our central defenders no end of trouble....unfortunately.

Disagree with that. If he had they physical attributes along with good technique then he wouldn’t be playing up here. From what I’ve saw I’ve thought his technique is mostly crap.

really???

on the technique..I'm not saying he is a world beater - just challenging the lazy "huddy" comments. I can only say that it is far from what I've noticed...as good as holding up the ball as I've seen in our league...for a big guy has good feet and pace. Has some good technique..again, don't think he is like to get you 20 goals a season - but can say he is a decent player...

[SaulGoodman]

I love the Hibs.net hidden rule of not being able to slag Hearts players.

[superfurryhibby]

For an organisation with such previous controversial sources of income and historic business failure, to shroud a large part of their current funding in secrecy means they should be afforded no praise for their financially doped pitch performance.

The least one could expect would be some transparency on their funding rather than a “We’re not telling you where it came from” approach.

Who’s praising their pitch performance?

In terms of transparency, it’s been discussed in a lot of detail on their agm thread some months ago. They are accountable in terms of the legitimacy of the source in respect of anti money laundering.

I wished some our wealthy fans would get their hands in their pockets and donate to Hibs to the same scale as their maroon counterparts. I suppose I can but dream of multi million pound benefactors.

I meant if he had the absolute freakish strength he does while also having a really high work rate and pace and good technique, not if you’ve got both physicality ability and any sort of technique that you would be too good for Scottish football :greengrin

Aye but look who there manager is

What an embarrassing post, quite ridiculous.

And, it's 'their'.

You honestly think that if fatso asked his team to lie down against Hearts, they would? :confused:

According to my Jags supporting pal the stadium DJ played SOL at half time.

Riled the away support, lifted the home support, who in turn spurred PT on in the second half.

Pleasing.

The way it should be.

I remember being at a Falkirk v Dunfermline game and the announcer had the duelling banjos tune from Deliverance on as he read the Dunfermline team out.

Funny how some clubs are happy to engage in decent natured banter (see Scott Wilson) and some, like Hibs, aren't.

To be fair, I think it's changed days from 2010-14 when we would sack a guy for even daring to say something nasty about poor wee Hearts. At the "natural order" derby our announcer was winding them up the whole game.

Well, you keep dreaming of those financially doped rich benefactor trophy wins then.

I wouldn’t ever want Hibs to have to resort to the £100m+ spent by our near neighbours in winning their tainted trophies and the £20m+ of extraneous funds they’ve spent so far in pursuit of the next one.

I dream of a team built from sound financial principles, winning because of a team constructed by a savvy manager, results hewn from slogging it out from our very own training ground in front of one of the few 4 sided modern stadiums in the country all built by years of struggling on the pitch but finally materialising in the glory of winning a national trophy after a 104 year wait.


A ridiculous story perhaps, because when did that ever happen?

Oh wait, it was Hibs back in 2016.

This might be an unpopular opinion but...

TBH I really don't care about the result of the SC if we're not in it. We're out now. That's all that mattered to me. Ok, I'll admit that Hearts/Rangers winning it wouldn't be as nice as PT, ICT or even Celtic winning it, but those results don't leave me worrying about it too much. They used to. All that changed in 2016. We won it. We won it fairly. We won it well. That's all. That can't be taken away and I know we can win it again.

Drawing the lowest ranked team in each of the last 3 rounds.... odds of 315-1 [emoji1787] hate to say it but smacks of their 98 cup run when they drew easy teams until the final then beat the Gers

I just don't want anyone we can compete with getting the kind of boost we got (or any form of boost) from winning it. It would be hugely symbolic for Rangers to finally win their first trophy, Hearts and Aberdeen would also lap it up and potentially kick on a bit if they won it. It wouldn't matter a toss if Celtic won it though and it would be nice to see one of the Jags win it.

Here's me thinking you were referring to the current situation at Hearts, not the Romanov era? Hence why I find your next bit about what you dream of a bit bizarre.

Personally I would be delighted if Hibs were to acquire 20 million pounds worth of “extraneous” funds from fans who want nothing more than success at the club. Why wouldn’t we?

I think what recent years has shown is that our principle rivals, with broadly similar fanbases and potential are considerably outstripping us in terms of Income, despite our crowds and seasons tickets being comparable. That doesn’t guarantee sporting success, but it makes it more likely, don’t you think?
I certainly think it would be nice to be able to compete with Hearts/Aberdenn in terms of wages etc. Then our “ savvy” manager might not have to lose key players every season or they can sign ones with a greater chance of bringng success

Each to their own I suppose, but spare the patronising guff about 2016 and all that.

For the other quarter final replay, Rangers v Aberdeen, I see Aberdeen have been allocated just 850 tickets. About 1.7% when it’s stipulated that visiting teams should receive 20%.

Pretty sure The Rangers didn't get the full 20% at Pittodrie for the first game. So they can't really complain.

[Billy Whizz]

They got around 2000 due to where Aberdeen have the stand segregated, so say 10% or so
Rangers are giving them less than 2%, I presume again due to segregation issues
As this is an SFA tournament, about time they stepped in and activated the 20% clause

Allegedly Rangers gave Aberdeen the choice of the whole stand - 7500 or the 850..they had to pay for all tix regardless of sales
..seems they chose the 850

What's your definition of financial doping?

If it's fans putting disposable income into their club for no return, then aren't Hibs (through HSL, Hibs.net, KfK etc.) doing the same?

Or is it a question of scale?

I don't think the anonymous donations are financially doping. But they are not sustainable - either the from the fans or the big benefactor(s). Nobody knows the source but suspect is Budge via some special purposed vehicle to prop her failing financial adventure up so she gets some pay back.

Yep, part of the contract with the gadgies who own Hampden is all Semi's and finals of the SFA cup must be played at Hampden as do all games involving the OF. Murrayfield was thee one off, can't see them giving another Semi away to suit Hertz.

If our intellectually challenged friends from the other side of the city do end up in a semi final at Easter Roa, who pays for the broken seats, wrecked toilets and other damage?

While we're at it a previous semi final between the Poppy Thieves and ICT ended up rather well.
