    Our biggest game of the season, so far.

    to my mind, the biggest was the League Cup final. Last night's was quite close and Friday's will probably be our biggest....only so far, if we actually win. If we lose, then obviously the Scottish cup Final will be our biggest.

    Friday is huge. IMO Hibs are heading for an all or nothing outcome in the next few games. I cannot see a situation where we lose on Friday and win the Scottish Cup, the impact on the team, club, players and Stubbs will be just too devastating. Lose on Friday, and in many players minds the season (and perhaps their Hibs careers) are over. We'll be reading all about Stubbs moving to England during the whole of Cup Final week.

    If we make the PO final, the result of the SC Final could have a huge impact on the second leg.

    I cannot think of many times in all my years of supporting Hibs where a series of games meant so much. It is the perfect storm.

    I think we must win on Friday to give us a massive lift against the Huns.I too cant remember a season quite like this and Ihave watched Hibs for nearly 50 years. I'm forever saying we never get the "luck" in important games. hope I am wrong this time and Mr Thompson may have a hand in it

    As someone who has supported Hibs for OVER 50 years I agree!!!! Never in that time have we had such an important fortnight of matches. I hate to make this comparison (but I will) '86. If we don't win on Friday, I fear greatly for us in the final and in the next couple of seasons.

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Completely see where you're coming from with this logic but you have to take in to the equation that its hibs.... it would be just like us to capitulate in the league play off and win the bloody cup a week later........

    Anyway, not going to happen, we win at a canter on Friday

    Yip, spot on for me too. As many Hibs fans will agree, Friday night is so much bigger than the Cup Final. Defeat in the CF, like 01, 12, 13, we move on like we have done for all these flippin years........, defeat on Friday???? I can't face another season vs Duffys Morton and the like. (Obviously need to beat Killie, but I'd be quietly confident of that)

    FRIDAY is the big one.

    I have no idea how that's not a handball, it's one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. Could understand if the ball had been rattled against him but he actually changes the path of the ball by putting his hand on it then booting it away. Truly staggering.
