Been meaning to post on this... just remembered now!
I drove with a lifelong Hibby, my son and his pal (both Hibbies) and a Cellic fan.
We left Broughty Ferry about 10.00am and rocked up to Fratelli's Italian in Cambuslang.
Pre-match nerves aplenty among the group - bar me strangely - with only me confident of a Hibs win. I did predict 6-5 on pens, after 2-2 AET and that I'd be in an ambulance and have missed the magical moment
At HT, I was sat with the other lifelong fan, I did feel we would rue the missed chances as we had dominated .. however at 1-2 I was still confident we'd win. We were stronger in the midfield and it was starting to show.
Recall the boy next to me being distraught when we lost the lead - but I assured him we'd be dancing, hugging, kissing at some point and the Hibs would prevail.
Poor man looked ready to pass out at the thought :greengrin
I was sure this was OUR time :flag:
The rest of the game still seems surreal. Despite my confidence, there was always something deep deep inside me that said I wouldn't see the Hibs win the Cup - and I cannot have been alone!
The added on time was pure hell - but the ecstasy, tears, hugs etc of full-time will never leave me.
SOL afterwards was a teary, tone-deaf sob-fest :thumbsup:
As we made our way home we were all shattered. I had one pint back in the Royal Arch, Broughty Ferry and got home to watch the highlights .. fearful it was all a dream!
What a day! WHAT A TEAM! :thumbsup:
