Devastated

[Callum_62]

Nothing more we could have done.

Aberdeen well worthy of the victory on the day. Got the tactics spot on. Disappointed but not self inflicted.Not quite sure well worthy is the case but they got Celtic on an off day and who still missed big chances

They defended well but Celtic played the game at training pace

Celtic shat the bed.

At the end of the day it’s always nice to see them pumped in a final.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Absolutely devastating after our efforts this year. Takes nothing away as we done our job but that group deserved a wee bit of luck

Said on matchday thread the game swung on the subs. Yang, McCowan and forest negatively impacted celtic whereas gueye and the wide players brought strength and pace

**** you celtic. In a way I'm glad they lost. Pathetic fans barely clapped when they scored

[cabbageandribs1875]

this is quite deflating now, £6m for Aberdeen, just freakin awful

Aberdeen were absolutely stinking until Schmeichel gave them a goal.

It does go to show that your best chance against Celtic is to sit deep and hope they have an off day.

This is exactly it. But you have to have them having a stinker to win a Cup.

They never have off days vs us.

I’ve been to 3 finals vs Celtic. Lost every one of them.

Both teams set out with a plan and Aberdeen’s worked. Fully deserved.

[Chip shop Joe]

Celtic had absolutely no urgency whatsoever. Got exactly what they deserved. A real sore one for us though.

[WestCoastHibby]

I’m absolutely delighted for Aberdeen; I’d happily see Celtic beat at tiddly winks
Yes it puts our Euro hopes back a bit but we will just need to deal with that

[Pretty Boy]

Aye maybe but saying Aberdeen deserved to win is just nonsense.

It's not nonsense because, news flash, they won.

In football the team that deserves to win wins. 'Aye they had less chances', 'aye we had more possesion', 'their keeper made a mistake' etc etc is all just noise.

If you create 10 chances and miss 9 and the other team creat 1 and score 1 then you get what you deserve. I'm as gutted as anyone but Celtic played the game like it was a foregone conclusion and paid the price. Aberdeen sat in and waited for the chance and got a bit of luck. If we had doing the same we'd be waxing lyrical about Gray's tactical genius right now.

Yeah I know they won but it doesn’t mean they deserved it though which is what your post implied

Morris made a difference when he came on. The Celtic back line looked nervous when he ran at them. Apart from Forrest I I thought Celtic were poor. Yang is an awful footballer.

[Pretty Boy]

If that had been us today would we be saying we had a game plan and our team worked incredibly hard and it was a fully deserved win or we were ***** ? .

[Pagan Hibernia]

They did because they did.

I agree Aberdeen deserved it today. They defended brilliantly, worked hard, forced celtic in to some errors, looked extremely dangerous and in the last 10 minutes amd through extra time, and played a blinder with the penalties.

'The team that wins deserves to win' statement though? I'm not sure about that. There's any number of ways a team can be fantastic and then lose unluckily. Other teams can be garbage and somehow get a bit of fortune. The team that deserves to win, doesn't always.

[WhileTheChief..]

Sore one for us to take, but can’t help but feel happy for Aberdeen and their fans seeing them celebrate.

I'd rather not see any other club beat the uglies in a cup final that isn't us. Especially one of a similar size. Hearts or Aberdeen winning a cup is disastrous for Hibs at the best of times but this is 10 times worse with what was at stake. Never been so gutted at a result in a game that didn't involve Hibs. Could have been transformational for Hibs. Why do these opportunities always seem to slip past us?

You maybe feel happy for Aberdeen but that fluke win has probably put paid to any plans to bid big money for Triantis and maybe a new contract for Rocky.

It’s a proper GIRUY from that lot and most of the media. Watching Dons spend our money in the summer and their fans swanning around Europe will make me sick. They and their BBC chums will be insufferable.
To think they completely ****ed up their league campaign and STILL got £5M, 8 Euro games and a Cup is sickening. It’s a crap end to the season.

[Since452]

Are we the most unlucky club in Scotland?

It has turned Hibs plans upside down. Not on a month of Sundays could you see Celtic lose that final. Horrible outcome.

TBF they were pretty good at the start of the season. They were as good as we were crap. It where you end up. Does this mean Dundee Utd miss out in Europe entirely? Or was it just to decide who goes in at the later round?

No, Dundee United get conference league QR2 I think, which is one stage behind where we drop into if we loose our first tie.

Their loss from today is a sore one too, although nowhere near ours.

We could have lent them Boyle for the day and we’d be £5M richer. We got Yanged alright. Terrible excuse for a player.

I’m with you entirely on this. Still totally gutted and can’t think of any other result not involving us that has felt as bad as this.

What’s more concerning is a flag annoying a grown adult. Who cares if they were for Dabbagh or the resistance.

That Maeda chance is one of those incidents where if you freeze frame the game there's a gloriously obvious option that no one notices at the time - he could've easily nudged it in front of Forrest (who was clearly wanting it) and you've got a lovely fairytale winner for him and happy days for us.

Alas.

Ah, OK that explains it thanks. Never heard of the guy (think Shinnie and Nisbet are the only Aberdeen players I could name!). You'll always get some trying to hijack non-political events for their own ends but this makes sense now.

Was thinking that myself. Forgetting about the impact on Europe, I’m just actually more jealous that they’ve won the cup. Especially with that ****ing team.

Looking at the Celtic bench yesterday, that’ll probably give them a boot up the arse to invest even more in the summer and they’ll probably clear up next season.

It was an absolutely horrendous final wasn’t it

2 own goals

No real chances other than the player of the year in the last minute

Every Celtic player was horrendous, it’s the worst I’ve seen them in a long long time

Even the way Maeda took his penalty, it was like he couldn’t be bothered

[Pagan Hibernia]

That that Aberdeen team have had the last laugh after everything that's happened in the last six months is seriously hard to stomach.

A lot of chickens had been counted before that final and I'm certainly guilty of that too. Football, like life, has a nasty habit of kicking you in the balls when you take things for granted. Over to SDG and the team now to navigate a path to the group stage that is rightfully ours. Then we'll have the last laugh on hearts.

[NAE NOOKIE]

On a lighter note. Did anybody else notice the Aberdeen fans with the 'Inter Malam sc' flag at the game yesterday :faf:

I still can't believe Aberdeen won the cup. Aberdeen. The laughing stock of Scottish football since December. 11 goals conceded in their last 3 games. Could only happen to us.

Fair play to Aberdeen. Winning a cup is no small thing.

Watched some of the celebrations on Sunday (online footage) and is it just me or did it all look a bit low key in numbers on the streets?

Not just you.

Given the 35 year wait and the massive task of beating celtic in that final, I would have expected bigger.

Maybe that's me being a bit bitter. But as you say, well done the Dons. They played that game the only way they possibly could play it and got the job done.

They are a funny lot in Aberdeen though, I could be wrong but I get the impression if you don't actually follow the club there isn't much residual soft support for them, the sort of affection, without being an active supporter, that will get you out onto the street to give them a cheer for winning a trophy. Something that I think was a big factor in the massive turnout when we won in 2016.

That's maybe encapsulated in the, lets say less than enthusiastic, support from the local council and populace to get behind their plans for a new stadium. It's one thing reveling in the good publicity any success brings to the city, quite another to reward that positivity with tangible assistance. Mind you, Aberdeen isn't unique in that as Hibs can attest to.
