Scottish Cup Final Aberdeen v Celtic

[Heisenberg]

Club better pump money in now. Aberdeen have a guaranteed £6m, Hearts have big money coming in.

Our owners need to back the club with big money in summer or we are falling behind Aberdeen and Hearts for years.

Both of those teams have had Euro money recently and done absolutely **** all. It’s not game changing in that sense, just a few great trips for their fans that we’ll likely miss out on now.

Reactionary pish.

[we are hibs]

He's a very good player.

Would you have said the same if he scored a penalty?Yes. I said it before he even took a pentalty. Too much of a *****bag to leave Scottish football as he would be found out like he was countless times for Scotland and in European games for Celtic.

That's disappointing, we just need to make sure were up there again next season and hope for a nicer draw in the play-offs.

[JimBHibees]

It's not btw.

Wonder how it would feel to go through a season as a Hibs fan without getting a kick in the baws.

Unseeded for 2nd QF round.

Is that right, 2nd QF round. of what?

Absolute nonsense. Hearts have had way more money coming in than us for years and have **** all to show for it.

[SaulGoodman]

Europa league I think?

[JohnM1875]

Europa

[dmc1875]

Is that right, 2nd QF round. of what?

Europa league. I think we have to win that (unseeded), then go into yhe 3rd QF and if we win that, it’s the playoff round.

If we win the 2nd QF and lose the 3rd I think we drop into the Conference playoff.

It’s going to be a really tough ask

[Mcbizz1998]

I hope anyone but Celtic (and hearts) win the league next season. If that means the Huns then so be it.

Yup. Time for some humility, pricks.

[S4uzee]

Having to start the season in July … brutal

[Green-Hibee-7]

Congrats to Aberdeen. Nothing we could do to influence that other than having beaten Celtic at Parkhead. Is what it is. In many ways I’m actually surprised I allowed myself to get excited of the prospect of European football till Christmas. A massive ask now and very unlikely.

Brendan Rodgers manager of the year. Wow.

Hopefully some of our fans with Celtic leaning sympathies can fully join the rest of us of hating these cretins.

Mate stop ****ting the bed man 😂 you did this when we were trying to secure third as well. What will be will be, chill oot.

[whiskyhibby]

Well done Aberdeen, despite the effect on Hibs, Celtic were absolute dross

Very likely the seeded teams we could face are.

Shakhtar Donetsk
Legia Warsaw
Partizan Belgrade
Anderlecht
CFR Cluj

[Gatecrasher]

Some folk coming across very bitter. We had a great year, this does not change that. Yeah it's a bit **** but we just need to care for ourselves.

[badabing67]

Of course we do we have Rot Weiss on the 9th

[NAE NOOKIE]

I do. Winning a final with 18% possession is a joke.

Crystal Palace did it last week with not much more possession than that.

Aberdeen did what they had to do, what practically every club has to do, when faced with a club that has 10X the resources they do. So fair f'ing play to them.

What let us down today was a Celtic team who clearly listened to everything said about this game in the last fortnight and thought they just had to turn up to win, as witness just the casual acceptance that it was simply the natural way of things when they went one up, it was as if they had scored against Annan Athletic in an early round league cup tie.

So well done Aberdeen and **** Celtic who can kiss their own f'ing multiple hoops and then mine.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

I think it’s more the impact on the type of player we can recruit, now we know that we don’t have guaranteed Euro games.

That will be the real impact.

[Just_Jimmy]

Some folk coming across very bitter. We had a great year, this does not change that. Yeah it's a bit **** but we just need to care for ourselves.We did, we finished 3rd over the league season above aberdeen who finished 5th. They won a cup, and apparently thats better than 38 games.

Its a ***** rule.

Correct.

“The most Hibs thing ever” how is that? The most Hibs thing ever would’ve been finishing in the playoffs or getting relegated. This team pulled themselves up off the mat, went on a mental unbeaten run, beat Hearts home and away, beat Celtic, beat Rangers at Ibrox, beat Aberdeen home and away and finished 3rd.

We could not possibly ask any more from Hibs. Just because Celtic shat the bed doesn’t change how good our season was.

Aye missing the conference groups is a bit **** (if we do miss out that is) but how did that go for Hearts this season. Did the money completely transform them? Oh no, wait. They were utter dug*****.

[Hibee Daft]

Everyone take a breath, Aberdeen won and deserve that europa spot now. The Scottish cup is a better achievement than third.

Well done to Aberdeen.

It has still been a great season for us to get third and we were also unfortunate we had to play Celtic away in the cup.

[Jock O]

It is a huge impact, but one that was totally out of our hands really, Other than winning the cup.

We just need to finish at least 3rd and win the cup, then we don't give a toss about a ridiculously complacent arrogant Celtic. I spent the second half of extra time on hoping they lost. They deserved nothing else.

[Hibees1973]

That’s that ****ed for us then

It is indeed Stuart93. Can forget about the league stage football in the Europa League and Conference League up until Christmas. Would only give us a 5% of getting there.

Would have to win 3 two legged ties to qualify for the Europa League stage (8 league games up to Christmas). If we lose one on the Europa League two legged ties we fall into the Conference League qualifying stages and possibly another 2 legged ties to quaiify for the Conference League phase (6 league games up to Christmas).

We will come across a biggie at one point in any scenario.

Whatever way you look at it Aberdeen are the big winners today.

D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R

[Lago]

I complain often enough about the lack of competition in Scottish football so can't complain about the result today, and there are still so exciting European games to look forward to.

[ED Hibee]

100% I’m bitter about this. We never ever get a Celtic team like that turn up against us in a Cup Final. This I think is the last season in a while that 3rd place get guaranteed group stage football and of course it is the one season we end up third and lose out to team in 5th place!

[NAE NOOKIE]

If there is bitterness it is very much directed at Celtic who were as heavy favourites for a cup final against a fellow premiership team as they have ever been and contrived to be absolutely gash on the day.

This isn't Hibs fault and it certainly isn't Aberdeen's fault ....... **** Celtic !!!

It is typical but ultimately nothing we can do about it. The prize for 3rd is what it is and you may get an added benefit if the cup goes the right way. It didn’t and it’s hugely disappointing but we can only concentrate on us.


I did think Ian Gordon should not have been talking yesterday about group stage football.

[Real Emerald]

On the upside I didn’t have much confidence that we’d have built a squad capable of playing in Europe until December and competing in the league. Well that’s what I’m telling myself.

It was always a prize for the cup winners and Aberdeen won the cup even though they parked the bus to do it.

[Northernhibee]

But Brendan Rodgers - manager of the year. Bang average manager with a huge budget.

[Ray_]

We should now be asking the question why the cup winners get the prize of group stage European football over the team who finished 3rd over a 38 game season.

An absolute joke.

And Celtic can **** right off.

It was the way it always was.

The Cup Winners' Cup was recognised as the second-rated European competition after the European Cup, and Hibs got to the quarter-final of that competition after losing 6-1 in the domestic Cup Final.

Hibs have been third and above many more times than they have won the cup.

Ian Gordon said we could have group stage football, which was totally correct, wtf should he not mention it. More nonsense.

Sure McGylnn won manager of the year

[hibbie02]

That fud McGregor bawling his eyes out after the game. A grown man and professional athlete! I think since Hibs last won the Cup, Celtic have played about 14 finals at Hampden (League Cup and Cup) and this was the first one they lost. Yet that tool, who probably played in all of them, is crying his eyes out! Talk about entitlement.

Wee fud. Couldn’t motivate his team to get one more game over the line for a treble. Then misses a penalty and he’s balling his eyes out.

He can GTF, him and Rodgers

[truehibernian]

Perfect storm today, no Jota and Hatate , Forrest going off early after coming on, Maeda having a stinker, Idah anonymous, and Celtic relying on the likes of Scales, Bernardo and Yang.

They were complacent, played like a 5-a-side team, and credit to Aberdeen tactically as Thelin did an Ange and outfoxed Rodgers with his untried formation. Which stifled Celtic well, and once they got the equaliser they got belief.


We still had an excellent season, we’ll have our stab at Europe, and what will be will be. It’ll obviously affect transfers and budget that’s the sickener, but even the qualifiers bring in decent money. Hibs have had an excellent season and that shouldn’t be overlooked or underestimated- especially after a game we had zero control over.

We’ll still need the passports and beach balls 😊

[JJP]

I can’t ****ing believe this. **** Celtic.

[Jones28]

Guff, £50m our neighbours have pished away. Aberdeen have had similar backing and have a cup to show for it.

Calm down to a panic ffs.

Complacency done Celtic. Thought they could wander through the game. Reaction to the first goal, their players barely even celebrated.

They’re not normally like that at that stage of the competition, ****ing typical they decided to be today.

[Onion]

Have no issue with Aberdeen winning the Cup, that’s great for everyone. It’s the fact they ate our £6M lunch ! Hibs getting 3rd, beating Aberdeen on the process deserved better financial reward.

That’s a huge win for Aberdeen.

[He's here!]

Just relieved Aberdeen beat Hearts in the semi after watching that Celtic non-performance today.

[SteveHFC]

Hearts fans celebrating today like it’s their biggest result this season. Pathetic bunch of supporters.

It really wasn’t. Has cost us millions and made qualification to the groups extremely unlikely.

We would be doing exactly the same, just as well it was Aberdeen in the final as Hearts would have beaten that rank Celtic performance today also. That would really have hurt.

Absolutely disastrous. Not only ****ed us for guarenteed group football but Aberdeen will get a massive boost for the next few years with a cup win

We were never guaranteed group stage football anyway. We knew at the start of the season that the Scottish Cup carried that reward. Both us and Aberdeen played Celtic in the Cup. They beat them, we didn't. We ****ed ourselves.

[we are hibs]

Today also showed why non Glasgow clubs should get the opportunity to sell half of Hampden for semis and finals. It's a complete nonsense the SFA/SPFL trying to cut allocations to give those two bigger ones. I've no idea if Aberdeen having half of Hampden today helped them today but it certainly didn't harm their chances.

Number of clubs could have played Celtic yesterday and won the cup. All that was needed was good organisation and chunk of luck.

Strangely, had it been a bottom six team (other than the obvious) or even a Champ side, I'd be less pissed off. It's fact we overcame a 26 point deficit, played better football throughout, fought like Hell to get best of the rest ... and then a crappy Aberdeen led by Shiinnie nicks in and steals the winnings for 3rd place.

Thelin changed it up again and they had more an attacking threat as celtc started to panic at the back. He outdone Rodgers with his tactics, not the greatest game but they won the cup, we wouldnt have complained if it was us in their welly boots.

I actually thought celtc were dull and it looked like Maeda had been out on the sauce last night.
