Mourinho when he was at inter:
"we have a dream to play the champions league final. For Barcelona it is not a dream, it is an obsession. There is a difference between a dream and an obsession; a dream is more pure than an obsession, a dream is about pride."
Maybe I'm just getting wrapped up in the cup build up: watching videos on YouTube, watching the semi final again, watching the highlights of every other round. This quote really speaks to me when it comes to hibs and the Scottish cup.
I have always felt there are words in football that are overused and 'dream' is one of them e.g. Players get their 'dream' move to a team they have never heard of. When we talk about hibs winning the Scottish cup as a dream it is a pure desire to witness history, to witness a pinnacle of our history.
My point is, if the players recognise and understand the dream it could give them a psychological boost going into the final.

Personally, I think we put far too much emphasis on winning the cup. And because of this, we put an unfair amount of pressure on the players to win it.
Winning the cup would be an excellent achievement. But it's hardly the stuff that dreams are made of. It's just a really great achievement that we can look back on and be proud of.
The cup certainly isn't the "holy grail" as some fans put it.

It very much is the Holy Grail or Hibs fans.

I agree in the main with your first few lines the rest is drivel IMO and dare I suggest you read up on your Hibstory and speak to Lawrie Reilly for his view. We did beat Barcelona you know and perhaps that's the problem - saturation of Champions (its not really) League and overseas football.
The "certainty" with which you write I'm finding particularly grating but maybe I got up too early ;)Last edited by Viva_Palmeiras; 23-05-2013 at 07:14 AM.

Just because we haven't been winning it, doesn't mean we can't win it now. Past results count for scheidt.
The cup is not the holy grail, we don't have some hoo doo over us and we're not "jinxed" either.
But if we continue to believe in all of that nonsense, then we're not exactly putting confidence into the team.

What will effect Sunday is how the players approach the game and how much confidence we as the supporters can get across to the players.
If we keep believing in ridiculous "hoo doos" and "jinxes", then all we're doing is setting ourselves up for another fall.
If the players step out there believing there is a "jinx", then they should just go home.

We will win though.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

To be fair to the team, i think they have shown plenty of determination to get through to the Scottish Cup final. Not every performance a classic, but they did what they needed to get through each round. 3 games against SPL opposition, a couple of dodgy pens against us, and a nightmare half hour where we gave Falkirk a 3 goal start and yet here we are in another final. I don't think there is any doubt in the minds of the players or the management what it means to the Hibs fans

I think it's time....
Time for the 1902 to end and 2013 to begin
I do bump into Celtic supporters here in Aus at bars and find them a tad chuffed with themselves.
Like to see them less chuffed.

My daughter has woken up every morning this week and told me she had a dream and we won the cup!
I keep thinking this is a good omen then she tells me the score and lowest score we have one by is 7-1. Not going to happen unfortunately. Last nights game we one 15-0 by the way;-). I think she is getting FIFA and reality mixed up.
