Pat and Rod duped

I don't understand why some people are taking this so lightly. That was the result that "finished us as a football club" and "destroyed our soul permanently".

Fair play to the guy but the man's occupation was the funniest part of the article. Irony or what!

***500miles*** · 22-12-2012 02:18 PM

It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not hurtful. It's the football equivalent of bunny ears. It's all very good to have a laugh at ourselves, but let's not allow our keenness to seem gracious allow us to overlook the fact that it's ****.

**Big Frank** · 22-12-2012 02:45 PM

Nah,

boys a rocket.

It is fairly good banter really. Good luck to him, he will become on of those legends that they will talk about in the Tynecastle Arms. You know the one just round from the Tesco superstore, where there used to be a football club. They will reminisce about 5-1, their special relationship with the Scottish cup, the 86 double winning team, Gary McKays amazing haul of winners medals, the champions league winners, the world cup superstars and say to themselves "It was all worth it to be pumped by Vlad"

I was surprised just how quickly I got over the final. I thought I would feel worse than I actually did the day after. Wonder if they will get over the loss of their club as quickly.

You forgot to mention winning the 1st world war

Mark Ross’ audacious stunt

Sounds about right to me.

Whoever runs this site will have to get smileys for phone users set up :-)

...maybe chuck in a sarcasm one too?

**Harpandcastle** · 22-12-2012 04:18 PM

Anyone know the guy? If so get his address up so we can all send him some nice surprises for Christmas.

**Famous Fiver** · 22-12-2012 04:25 PM

The guy's name is published in tonight's Evening News. Shouldn't be too hard to track him down.

He is described as a 'Finance Manager'. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my finances.

I think the photograph says more about him than any perceived one upmanship on Hibs.

Funny feeling he is going to live to regret his moment of fame.

***R'Albin*** · 22-12-2012 04:46 PM

Some folk around here need to lighten up a little, it's only a football game for crying out loud. Pretty amusing I thought.

**trev the hat** · 22-12-2012 05:01 PM

Apart from being a confirmed facial merrick, I find it quite amusing & hats off to the ugly one for seizing the moment.
As for financial advising, that's more amusing than the pic.

***silverhibee*** · 22-12-2012 05:06 PM

Hibs declined to comment.

You're not an uberfan until you memorise them all.

But point taken,

***JimBHibees*** · 22-12-2012 05:15 PM

Well done on the boy to be fair. Quite how it merited a mention in the EEN is anyones guess.

dearie me,lighten up..

**Bowtow** · 22-12-2012 05:22 PM

He is like "there is always one" you know, the wee schoolboy prick who spoilt the picture.

**ancient hibee** · 22-12-2012 05:22 PM

Never turn your back on anyone who works in the financial services as they're sure to stuff you.

***RIP*** · 22-12-2012 05:31 PM

It's funny how the meedja treat the cup final game. Most Hibbies I know went into the game expecting a humping - given how we showed such shaky form last season. Kujabi got himself sent off, Santana dived into the box from outside and wi ten men the game wiz a bogey.

According to the journos and broadcasters we spent six months up to the cup game at ER in December slashing our wrists. My crowd shook it off as soon as we started to win some games at home and put some daylight between us and the Yams in the league

Wonder why they are so keen to perpetuate the myth? Most posters on this thread seem over it

Why not?

He appears to be able to count.

**Sir David Gray** · 22-12-2012 06:42 PM

The guy's a Hearts twat but that is quite humorous as far as wind ups go.

We would find that hilarious if the shoe was on the other foot.

No need. It's just a bit of banter. We're not Sevco.

It's alright, after the last derby Fat Jim was duped by the undercover shirt printer!

Completely agree with this.

If the Cup final had been 11 v. 11 and ended 5-1, that would have been the humiliating drubbing that the press, all Hearts fans and some Hibs fans refer to.

I left the final more angry with the referee than disappointed with Hibs.

There is no doubt that Hibs were poor on the day, but McPake had just got us back in the game when the referree ruined it.
