Was in MacSorleys
thought it was strange with the barman telling a pub full of hibbies that club colours were not allowed...then with about 30 minutes before we all left he put a notice on the door!
Good to chat with a few .netters in there yesterday."Football should always be played beautifully, you should play in an attacking way, it must be a spectacle". Johan Cruyff.

Absolutely nowhere - everywhere seemed to be pre-booked by some party or other. Although I don't think any amount of drink would have made yesterday's display look or feel any better.
I had to settle for a Greggs pie.

Shettleston was brilliant.

MacSorleys too, with a few .netters including an 'exuberant' lyonhibs.
Wasn't rammed but it was all Hibbies in there and we had a wee sing-song. Barman didn't seem too happy, and bizarrely was asking people to take scarves off when most folk in the pub had Hibs tops on.

Tried to get into the nearest pub to our end the Beechwood but it was mobbed then my mate phoned to say he had tickets set aside for us for Queens Park Social Club he said walk over the car park at Hampden and keep going, great fun had to walk through about 5k Jambos! we got some funny looks but no hassle to be fai,r anyway into the Social club and left at 1.50 and again had to walk through thousands of them but by that time Strathclyde polis were out in force so got through unscathed.
Wee footnote when we were trying to find the club I asked a policeman, his response? "No idea mate we've been brought in from all over Scotland for this game I dinnae stay here" thanks for the help!

Beechwood first but for whatever reason they decided no kids allowed now.
When I left the pub wasn't that full and yet they had people queueing up so maybe they've had a restriction put on the place.
Anyway headed for Rutherglen - ended up in the Picture HouseLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Was in there as well. They were telling everyone to cover their tops as well. One lassie ended up arguing with them as she didn't have anything else to wear. Some guy gave her his jacket but her whole crowd left when they finished their drinks. The trying to stop the singing was just daft and they ended up having to give in in the end. Still ended up leaving and going to the Montford though.

100 Acres club/pub. Good location and a 15 min walk from Hampden. It was bursting at the seems with Hibs supporters

My bus was booked into the Brazenhead Bar, however due to diversions etc by the Glesga polis we ended up parked just by the International. It was easier to just go there - glad we did because it was magic. We were about first in so managed to get tables and seats.
They had loads of proclaimers songs on and had it well organised in that a bottle bar was running at the back of the pub to help cope with the overworked bar.

The Toby Jug - just by Central Station.
Mixed crowd of Hibbies and Jambos - good atmosphere, good prices and lunch available.
Was intending to catch up with Lyonhibs at Macsorley's, but didnae quite make it.
Good trip through, good pre-match drink and banter and the expected pish at Hampden.
btw - anyone who felt 'let down' by the team yesterday hasn't been watching Hibs this season.

Was in the bar at waverley for a couple of pints at about nine, noisy hibs crowd in there had any hearts fans leaving sharpish. My sister in law was working behind the bar and said some bam was kicking off at at around ten, he ended up getting huckled and missed the game.
In Glasgow went to pandoras which we all agreed was the highlight of the day!

We were in Iron Horse on West Nile St, pretty quiet in comparison to semi final. Also had a "scarves off" policy which wasn't in place for semi. Went to Brazen Head after that which was just what we were after, all Hibs fans, not too packed, Proclaimers CD on loop.
Back in Edinburgh it was down to Robbies where the mood changed from crying into your beer to defiant chanting of Hibs songs as we watched the Champions League Final. Special mention goes out to the guy dressed in the adidas white away top who has compiled a bizarre array of Hibs songs, and he kept everyone entertained with his crazy renditions. Thought the atmosphere was great in there, and being in the company of fellow Hibs fans slowly getting over the disappointment of the game was just what the doctor ordered.
