Semi Final draw - Hearts v Hibs

[bingo70]

If we assume Celtic best Dundee Utd and they’re not an option, who do you want in the next round?

I know the logical answer is Hearts but I can’t ignore our record against them there and that worries me. I can’t be doing with losing to those *******s again so soon and if I’m honest, they’re a better side than us just now.

In saying that, Rangers and Celtic will likely both beat us as well.

Not sure why but I’m leaning towards wanting Celtic. Nearly beat them in the final and think they could be there for the taking.

[Sir David Gray]

Rangers will probably get through their current European tie and will therefore have their Europa League quarter final second leg 3 days before the semi final so I'm going for them - plus we have a great record against them at Hampden.

I’d much rather have Rangers than Celtic, our record against them in semi finals is excellent
As I said on another thread, I want Hearts please
If Celtic get through, will look like there will 2 full houses. A huge financial boost for Hibs

When is the draw?

Tomorrow night after Dundee Utd v Celtic. Greg Hemphill is doing the draw

[Mikey_1875]

I want a crack at Hearts to try and put some wrongs right (whether this is the right squad to do it is another matter!) Celtic would probably be the one I would be least excited about.

[Stokesy's on fire]

I want Celtic(if they go through) they are the best team in the country and if we can get them out in the semi then we can have a bash at one of the Hun teams

[Greenbeard]

Get Sir Rod back. Best draw ever.

Anyone as long as it’s the Saturday 5:30pm kick off.

Rangers please

[JamesHFC]

Dundee United, if not then Hearts.

[HFC93]

Rangers please. Although I would love to take them on in the final.

[JamesHFC]

I want revenge on Celtic in the final.

[Jim44]

Rangers for me. We have a great chance of beating them at Hampden to get into the final. Also, I dread the Jambos winning the cup and think Celtic will see them off in the semi final. All we have to do is beat Rangers then Celtic ……. simples! :greengrin

[Glory Lurker]

We're the team everyone else will want in the semi. That's how I like it. Whoever it is, 'mon then.

[wookie70]

Rangers for me, they have had quite a few poor performances after Euro games. Not sure my mental health can take another defeat from Hearts at Hampden and if I am going to risk it I would rather there was a guaranteed cup at the other end.

[Mcbizz1998]

I would be happy enough with the huns (big ones), as if we need to face Hearts, would prefer it be in the final.

[HH81]

Anyone as long as it’s the Saturday 5:30pm kick off.

Is that confirmed? Don't they normally do lunchtime games in semi finals?

[Billy Whizz]

Pre Covid, Saturday semi finals were 12.15pm KO’s I think

[HH81]

Yes I remember although 5.30 would be ideal now for travelling up.

[Hibs Class]

Pressure is all on rangers, haven’t won the cup since they died and so this is their next big one, and we've seen plenty times that they lack bottle in the big games when under pressure.

[Onion]

Our Hamden record against Celtic and Hearts is wretched. Huns for me, given they'll be all out for the League and a lot of tough Euro games head. They don't like it up em at Hampden from the Hibs :greengrin

[DH1875]

Hearts in the semi. That way if they did beat us, one of the uglies can do them.

[Diclonius]

United or Rangers.

[Billy Whizz]

Easter weekend too

[Silky]

Hearts in the semi. That way if they did beat us, one of the uglies can do them.

Rangers for me. I can't be doing with all the "Maloney out" crap that will undoubtedly follow if Hearts beat us, which going by our Hampben record against them, they probably will.

[Waxy]

We’re due to beat Celtic and hearts at Hampden.
Names on the cup.

[dcm89]

Quite happy with Dundee Utd in Semi and the rangers in the final ;)

I'd love to get the minis in the Final in order to right some wrongs. For the semi I'd like their big brothers as we have a great recent record against them at Hampden.

[davy67 +]

Rangers in the semis. Celtic in the final

[Dashing Bob S]

The Huns are practically a bye for us.

We never show up against Celtic and have a great talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against even the most mediocre Hearts sides.

Thats why ld prefer to avoid The Jambos Hate the tought of losing to them and them crowing over us

[Glory Lurker]

Not having any of this "fear of the jambos" guff,btw. What's past results at Hampden involving not one player on either side today got to do with anything? Bring 'em.

[hibbysam]

Be 4 good teams in the semi, no game will be easy so take who we get. Hearts the easiest, rangers will have Europe, and we’ve competed well against Celtic. Been far from easy our run so far.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I love the thought of beating them at hampden. That’ll be one of the many derby stats they like to throw at us binned forever. Then we can start working on some of the other ones… like them having a winning record at Easter Road…

if we lose to them again, yeah it’ll be another sore one, but you know what life will go on like it always has. It is only football and banter at the end of the day.

[Nicho87]

Hearts

[Jones28]

We have to beat either hearts and one of them or both of them to win the cup. If it’s going to happen I’d quite like to beat hearts, it’s traditional.

[Col2]

Hearts
Rangers
Celtic

In that priority order.

[Alex Trager]

Agree. Well over due on both accounts

No fear re the JT’s. Dini buy it personally, think we will beat them.

They are supremely confident

[FilipinoHibs]

Bring on the Gorgie thieves. Time we beat them at Hampden.

[LancsHibs]

The easiest team in the draw please…………………..
Oh hang on that’s us:hilarious

[we are hibs]

Hearts aren't that good. Played us twice this season and haven't beaten us despite us being in a pretty bad place 2nd time around. We couldve beaten them twice too if we had a wee bit of luck with a couple of efforts at goal. We will hopefully have another 3 or 4 back by mid April also which would help us massively. With a big Hibs support there i reckon it would make a difference just like yesterday when the crowd helped the team over the line

Same for me, out of that 3 hearts are by far the weakest team. Rangers will have an eye on Europe and obviously we have a good record against them so that’s the second choice.

[Tambo]

If and they probably will get through then I think who ever plays Celtic will be on premier.

[Libby Hibby]

Quite an incredible stat

[Stubbsy90+2]

You can guarantee if we get Hearts that Gordon will have the game of his life.

Still the easiest draw though.

[Zondervan]

Pre Covid, Saturday semi finals were 12.15pm KO’s I think

Think that was when Sky/BBC still had the contract?

Premier Sports seem to prefer the later KO times so hopefully this is the case for these games. Last year they were 1600 on the Saturday and 1415 on the Sunday.

If Rangers are still in Europe after Thursday, they’ll be playing on the Thursday previous, so whoever they get will be played on the Sunday

Presume as this is an SFA tournament rather than SPFL, 50/50 allocations will be in place?

Not to England though so think it would be half 5 if the Saturday is an evening game. Can’t see that being allowed if it was a derby but think we could end up with that if it was Celtic/United

[Waxy]

Hibs hearts Rangers Celtic have never all been in the Scottish cup semis at the same time before i heard earlier.
Surprising.

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers.

Our record against them at Hampden is very good, including this season obviously.

It also seems to be the one game you can almost guarantee Hibs will raise their game for. There are exceptions but in recent times we almost always seem to turn up v them (a humping apiece under Heckingbottom and Ross being the exception).

[JXM73]

We'll be the underdogs, no matter what robbie replay says...

Play whoever, if we win enjoy it...

[Springbank]

Could be back to back Edinburgh derbies.

Tynecastle for the last game before the split, Hampden to get to the cup final

My gut feel is some 2016 vibes.

Hibs v Dundee Utd (or Celtic), Hearts v Rangers.

And the jambos have never beaten Rangers at Hampden, so, it's (Ewan) Henderson to deliver...

[B.H.F.C]

Hopefully Dundee Utd. Failing that, bring on Hearts.

We haven't lost to Rangers at Hampden since June 1979.

That's some record

Could be three in a row if we make the top 6 then!

I'd rather we played Celtic.

[Oscar T Grouch]

If Celtc get through then I would prefer to only meet one of the erse cheeks on the way to lifting the cup, so ideally hearts in the semi and the huns in the final, to deny them for the 2nd time, lifting the trophy for the 1st time in their existence. I think it maybe two Edinburgh vs Glasgow semi's, in that case it doesn't matter, we'd need to beat both to win the cup and snatch the group stage Euro place from under the jambos nose.

[Dashing Bob S]

I know we have a good record against The Rangers at Hampden but I still think we’d have a much better chance of beating Hearts than them. Been absolutely nothing between us and them in the games this season. If we get The Rangers and they turn up, they more than likely beat us.

Celtic and Rangers are by far and away the best sides in the league. The league table doesn't lie, if we don't have the players to beat Hearts I don't see the logic as to why we'd have the players to beat 2 superior teams to them.

It's surprising. I did a quick calculation on how often it would happen if the four never lost to anyone else and came up with around every nine years.

I actually think they would be ****ting themselves a lot more than us. They have more to lose , if they lost especially in the final to us it would ruin their lives 😂 Its all they have gone on about for ten years , be the same for another ten unless …… 😛

We have actually moved on quite well as a club since 2012 final , our derby record has improved massively and we have won the Scottish cup ourselves, enjoying our best attendances at easter road season on season .. We took it on the chin and have moved on. Them losing to us in a cup final would have them walking away in their droves

[Mikey]

Presumably it'll be on Radio Scotland as well as Premier Sports?

[Diclonius]

Yes, we do. They also have the players to beat us. Two 0-0 draws shows how little there is between the sides.

There's also Neilson's blind spot when it comes to us.

I'd still rather play Rangers though. Don't want to give them a shot at four in a row with the relative strength of the two teams right now.

[Sir David Gray]

I only went back to the 99/00 season and got bored but there's been three of them in the semis on five occasions in that time.

Incredible that it's never happened.

The powers that be will be desperate for an all Glasgow Team final.

With that in mind we will draw Celtic.

We have got to go into the game with some belief. The 2006 semi we were beat before a ball was kicked. Not this time hibs.

That's football, lose a Derby and it's that which defines the season. On the positive side, I suppose it means that whoever comes in after the semi can get away with a fairly mediocre season in order to transition and rebuild- so long as they register 4 victories against Hearts.

Take craig gordon out in the league game the week before!!

[LunasBoots]

No reason whatsoever why we shouldn't be up for this, we've matched them in the last two derbies, they're hardly a team of world beaters, have every belief we absolutely can beat them at Hampden.

No way back with fans when you lose these types of games, as we have seen previously.

Any fans think like that are moronic

A lot of folk do think that way though. It’s not really moronic, it’s just the importance that some place on this type of game. Flip it round the other way and the goodwill that beating them at a full Hampden would buy would be huge.

Disagree a huge game no doubt however the bigger picture needs to be taken into account. Otherwise we just lurch from famine to feast on the back of one game. Way too reactionary imo.

[wookie70]

On paper it is the best draw but I know my nerves will be shredded after the last 3 times. It is also a massive game for the manager. Getting defeated in these games usually comes back to haunt managers. I hope we have some players back and get the luck on the day and get to yet another final. So much resting on the game and with another derby so close and potentially another one just after there will be massive pressure on teams but particularly managers. Let's hope Robbie Replay does us a favour again

[Mick O'Rourke]

Hoff Hat trick :agree:


Said Patrick to Michael ,where was it today
I went to old Hampden to see Hibs an hertz play
Along came The Hoff and he popped in 3 goals
Old Hampden erupted in Green White and Gold !!! :partyhibb:partyhibb:partyhibb

[B.H.F.C]

Games like this are the bigger picture for me. Gives us the chance to achieve something (rather than talk about building towards achieving something).

The impact it can have either way is huge.

Let’s hope we snatch that from them.

Tickets will be a 50/50 split and we will both sell out so no excuses for the SFA not to give whoever gets through the same allocation as Celtic or Rangers in the final.

A lot of folk do think that way yes, but it is undeniably moronic.

There's no logic to it at all- we were the better team against them the last time for instance and if we'd scored a penalty we'd have gone on to win. It was hardly the managers fault- and the same could happen again. it would be ridiculous for Maloney to have "no way back" under those circumstances. For all we know he may have do his job perfectly but his players didn't perform... or the ref makes some mistakes etc etc.

[California-Hibs]

Absolutely delighted we've got them!! They'll come out with all their usual pis* and completely forget the reality of playing each other twice already and both being draws with next to nothing in it. It'll be another close game, but the Scottish Cup....Neilson in charge....pressurized game, I like that situation. Very 2016. C'mon Hibs, this wee mob haven't won the Scottish in 10 years! 😂😎

[B.H.F.C]

Really hope not. Think we need to do everything we can for this one.

For whatever reason I can’t remember much about 2012 but I can remember standing outside Hampden in 2006 feeling beaten before a ball was kicked. We didn’t turn up then standing outside and hearing the team was a proper ‘aw naw’ moment.

[007]

What time are folk realistically expecting? Half 12 on a Saturday lunchtime 40 miles along the road isn't a major upheaval in the grand scheme of schemes.

[hibbysam]

Only downside is tickets will be extortionate because of the old firm semi - most likely £40 for the north/south. No excuses for not selling it out though, most likely 2 per season from the off. Semi final is always the best day out of the year, hopefully a decent kick off time.

[B.H.F.C]

Been absolutely nothing between the teams. Even with something similar to what we had available yesterday, I’d expect it to be much the same. Hopefully we have more to choose from by the time it comes round. Everything needs to be geared towards having as strong a squad as possible available for this game, for me. Hopefully we can start getting some of the important ones that are missing back on the park over the next few games.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Who the 'F' are we kidding? After a run of 8 games where we only scored two goals we struggled to beat a team who had 10 men for 90 minutes, aye a win is a win in the cup, but nobody can seriously say if Motherwell had equalised on Sunday they wouldn't have deserved it given how the second half went.

We are relying on a 19 year old kid with one full game under his belt to score now because Nisbet, who wasn't scoring anyway, is out for the season and Doidge is half the player he was before he got injured. We have a makeshift defence with no height other than Porteous, it's a bloody miracle the number of clean sheets they have kept recently and its the only positive about us at the moment.

I'm not trying to be funny, or wind anybody up, I seriously am not ...... but anybody who is seriously coming on here going 'bring it on' and making out that its 'our turn' is bloody kidding themselves .. I think it will be a miracle if we beat them. There I've said it .... see you at Hampden.

hearts will be favourites and rightly so. But it’s all to play for

It's something which happens fairly frequently in both Scottish and English football. It's quite amazing how often it actually happens.

[Greenio]

Nae chance, were no good enuff tae beat any of them at the moment, unless we can get our injured players back. Sorry but thats my honest opinion.


It's one game

it's not about being good enough - it's about getting a result on the day

I can’t wait to batter them next month.

[Springbank]

Robbie Neilson's record v Hibs over 90 minutes

Won 1 out of 9 attempts

I'd say that gives us reason for optimism

[JammyDoidger]

It's about time we gave them a doing at hampden, sick of being the fall guys in these games, after the last one I said that was me done, but I suppose I'll give it one last shot eh, get into them hibs. Keep the faith.

I'd take a hammering at Tynecastle if we managed to actually beat them at that ****ing national stadium.

[mjhibby]

A wee reality check for everybody with those stats. It's who takes their chances on the day wins. Elias looks such a natural finisher they will be nervy facing him and jasper too. They were fortunate v st mirren who had loads of chances.If we can get hanlon,rocky and jdh fit and firing i fancy our chances. Defensively we look a lot better even though we're minus three of the usual back 5.
Believe me the hearts fans are as nervous as us. They are struggling in midfield just now. St mirren shared possession with them so if we can do that and finish clinically we have a very good chance. Maloney has shown he's tactically astute. Game on.

[Unseen work]

We will beat them twice in a week leading to absolute meltdown over there which results in Neilson being sacked.

The Hearts banter years will then recommence.

Our game is almost certainly going to be the Saturday and will be live on BBC and Premier Sports, so won't be 3 or 4pm. My preference would be around about the 5.30 time but most likely will be early ko, 12/12.15.

I agree. We made hard work of beating a Motherwell team down to 10 men for 88 minutes. Hearts are 3rd in the league by a country mile. I just don't see us laying a glove on them. Especially with half a team out. If we win I'd be astonished. Has the feel of 2006 for me. It is a funny old game though.

[we are hibs]

Who decides the ticket prices? Is it both clubs per semi, all 4 clubs or the SFA? Be about £45 a ticket if its the latter 2.

Why not two games we have played them nothing between us. We have now found the sort of striker we need and some of our injured players are likely to be back. Bring it on :greengrin

These things happen every match - Well should have had 2 men sent off at the weekend in the first 10 mins.

Whats horrendous is when balls actually cross the line and one team isnt given a goal. When it happens twice v the same club, thats "horrendous".

Third in the league doesn’t make them unbeatable in cup competitions as we found out ourselves last season. Worse teams than us have more than laid a glove on them this season.

Infact it wouldve been better if Motherwell had gubbed us on Sunday to save us the embarrassment of having a non old firm team in the semis and a great opportunity at getting to a cup final.

Get a grip man. The game is also a month away, there is no saying who will or won’t be available. There has been nothing in either game we’ve played against them.
