Why we will win the final

[Northernhibee]

A thread for posting as many statements that can be described as a FACT that we're going to horse the jumbos a week today.

Let's start with:

The last time we won the Scottish Cup we had an Irish manager in charge and a red haired striker.

[Pete]

Our crap derby record means we're due a win.

[hfc rd]

They will come into this final well over-confident having been unbeaten in their last 10 derbies. But we will suprise them big time.

[Hibercelona]

Because Hearts really aren't that good.

We may have not beaten them in 3 years, but we've managed to beat all the other teams in the top 6 within that time.

It all comes down to the mentality on the day.

We either turn up as winners or turn up as losers.

Whether we win or not will be completely down to ourselves.

[wearethehibs]

We are *****

[hibsbollah]

Because it is written in the stars.

[Westie1875]

Fate

And we want it more, the fans, the players, everyone!

[Liam_Hibs]

Because I fell flat on my face in Nicolson street today. Because of this, I know we'll win.

My nephew says we will. He is five and his father is a Hearts fanatic. Nephew whispers on phone last night..."ssshh dont tell dad but Hibs will win next week, i ve been watching them on my x box and they score lots of goals". Similar thing happened with his sister last league cup final.

[jonny]

because the "Scottish Cup curse" has officially been broken with the appointment of an Irish manager

[hibee_girl]

Because we just will

[sleeping giant]

The law of averages

[joe breezy]

I'm thinking of putting a bet on Hearts - that will definitely jinx them

That'll do for me. I remember when I was 6 telling my gran that Hibs would beat Dunfermline 2-0 in the Skol cup final. She told me not to get my hopes up etc....

We'll win.

Who was our last Irish manager actually, must have been well before my time, as I can't recall any of the managerial appointments having been Irish.

As for why we'll win - got my ticket in the South Stand at Hampden, good things have happened when I've been there in the past.

We last had an Irish manager when we last won the cup.

Spooky!

Anyhow found this

Dan McMichael was his name, and he was technically our first ever manager and our longest serving.

He managed the club on two separate occasions.

1900 to 1903 before being replaced by Phil Kelso on 11th April 1903. Kelso resigned to manage Arsenal sometime in 1904 and was replaced by McMichael who managed until his death in February 1919 as a result of the Spanish influenza pandemic

During his time he also held the positions of Treasurer, Secretary and Physiotherapist.

Overall Record:

Played: 598
Won: 218
Drew: 134
Lost: 246

Honours Won: The Holy Grail (1902) & League (1903)

Winning Percentage: 36.5%

[Sean1875]

Because its about ****ing time.

[down-the-slope]

Because this is the year that it really for the cheats and badly run clubs......and as representatives of sporting integrity and the good guys we will and bring the joy and romance back, saving the game we love.

[GreenCastle]

The fans are going to be out in full force and give the team support like they have never had before.

We aren't going to go with the same attitude we had at that semi final against them when the atmosphere was dead and we were defeated before a ball was even kicked.

[HibbyAndy]

Because we want it more.


Every neutral in the world wants HIBS to WIN. FACT.

[banchoryhibs]

Because we have a manager who knows how to win cups regularly

[Hibercelona]

We'll win the cup! Hearts will lose major players for next season and ultimately get relegated! Vlad will lose interest and cut his loses! Hearts will go down the gutter! And.... : : :

[bighairyfaeleith]

Because we are not hearts!!

[Dalianwanda]

Because for once, we believe

[AlbertK86]

Because half our team aren't our own
Because we have been $#1te all season
Because every Jambo I know is absolutely kacking it
Because paddy is dan mcmichael reincarnated
Because Jim Jeffries is a fat relegated barsteward

And because WE ARE HIBERNIAN FC

Come on Hibs this is our year

GGTTH

[drumatic44]

Not trying to put a damper on all this positivety (honest !!), but I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the fact that the dreaded Craig Thompson is due to ref. the final.
Yep the very same 'ref.' that barely gives us a decision, we haven't won a game when he's been in charge, allows Hearts players to remove their shirts leave the pitch and give it plenty of G.I.R.U.Y'S without bookings and yet books our's for the most minor offence.
be afraid, be very afraid !!!
Allez les Verts !!
