Penalties

**Onion** · 23-05-2013 11:53 AM

Be great to even get to pens on Sunday, but could you watch ? Not sure I could.

***MacBean*** · 23-05-2013 11:54 AM

Hibs have never lost a domestic penalty shoot out. I'd be watching

**Just_Jimmy** · 23-05-2013 11:55 AM

Imagine our end if someone needed to score to win it. Imagine the noise when the ball hit the net. Youd hear it in edinburgh.

**~~God Petrie~~** · 23-05-2013 11:56 AM

It doesn't bear thinking about - I would be absolutely soiling myself with nerves.

If that happens, someone sedate me for 10 mins then bring me round once it's over.

How can you make a spelling mistake in a 1 word tittle?

If it goes to penalties ill be happy as it means we have competed and taken the game all the way and it will come down to which team has the most bottle.

My stomach is in knots just thinking of that!

But that would be outstanding for us, to take them to pens. Forster is a good keeper, but big Ben has been amazing for us at penalties. They are also a bit of a lottery, so in terms of chances to win, I'd take pens right now if offered !

Definitely.

I'd be nervous as if it came down to pens, in all my time as a Hibby I've never been a witness to one in the flesh (watched the 04 Semi Shoot-out against the Huns on TV) but I know of our very good record in penalty shoot-outs (unbeaten in domestic cases, and only one loss total, I think).

To lose it on Penalties though would be absolutely soul destroying tbh, but the euphoria that would be experienced winning on Penalties can probably not be described in words.

Iceland would think we're invading them

The thing I quite like about winning on pens is that we wouldn't have to wait for the final whistle (sheer torture !) When the last went in it would be utter bedlam in the Hibs end. Completely mental

My thinking on this is would you rather be in a shoot out with a chance of winning or sitting at home watching it with every other club who didn't make the final. Got to be there, haven't you?

Watching it would probably age you 20 years though!

Is that the West of Hampden's answer to East's ASDA?

**oconnors_strip** · 23-05-2013 01:00 PM

Spoke to Ben about the game going to penalties and he said he would take one before claros. Save them and score one = legend

**Sir David Gray** · 23-05-2013 01:04 PM

Not sure I'd be able to cope with penalties on Sunday.

**SeanWilson** · 23-05-2013 01:11 PM

not a chance i could cope with pens... never been able to watch a shootout.

**green.and.white** · 23-05-2013 01:43 PM

I get nervous and tense watching a shootout between teams I don't care about (for some reason), so I can't imagine what I would be like if it was Hibs in the bleedin' cup final

**JMac** · 23-05-2013 01:44 PM

Who would you all want to take the penalties? There's Leigh obviously and then Thomson would probs take one. Who after that though?

I am not sure if the game went 120 mins Thommo would be on the park probably subbed by that point.

Would guess at

McGivern
Harris
Doyle
Taiwo
Leigh

***lord bunberry*** · 23-05-2013 01:48 PM

I'm sure we have lost a domestic penalty shoot out, I think our record is that we haven't lost one to another premier league team. Did we not lose one away to falkirk a few years back?

Make sure Leigh is on the park until the end, unless we stroll into a 3 goal lead with minutes to go, and then he can have a farewell gig on his own.

If it does go to pens; have all the players, except Leigh, have themselves sent off at the full-time whistle. Smack the ref or something; no - smack Lennon.

Then Leigh'll take all our pens; not sure how he'll do in goals, but SOME of theirs will have to miss the target, no?!?!

Job done.

That is low down, sneaky, and down right brilliant!
