Feeling disappointed watching the video of us singing SoL

[AndyB_70]

Just watched a fans video of us all singing Sunshine on Leith for the first time since the final. I love the song and I sung it in various boozers around Leith over the weekend. Running on the pitch I'm fine with. Jumping about with your mates I'm also fine with. Taking a few pics I'm also fine with but why did people stay on the pitch for so long? They must have known there was going to be a presentation of the Scottish Cup that we have all been waiting to see since the day we were all born. They must have known they wouldn't do it with fans on the pitch.

To finally see the video with the backdrop of mounted police, on foot police and stewards on the park has left me feeling sad. It is hardly an image I want to remember from the final. I think back to the Killie final with the players looking up at us as they wandered the pitch taking it all in. Those idiots that went on and caused trouble for no other reason than because they wanted to should be identified and never allowed back to a Hibs match ever again. You robbed us and you robbed the players and backroom staff of Hibs from what should have been an everlasting memory of a joyous occasion singing SoL. Our club is in the news for all the wrong reasons and we will be hammered by the authorities at a time when we need money to survive another season in this dreadful league. I don't think I'll watch it again. Unlike the winning goal as I've watched that what seems like a thousand times.

I love the videos of SOL from saturday and to be honest I don't really care that there was no lap of honour. We did it and that's all that really matters to me.

[lyonhibs]

Who cares what the news says?? If you look even vaguely carefully outside the goldfish bowl of Scottish media there's plenty of positive coverage.

You be sad if you want to mate, the rest of us will remember the day, the WHOLE day, with nothing but delirious joy in our hearts

[Since90+2]

Sad is not a feeling I would associate with Saturday.

Totally agree.

The majority of fans were fine with it, if slightly peeved, because it was understandable even if you didn't partake (as I didn't).

The players have also said it didn't tarnish the day for them.

[jacomo]

The authorities wanted to punish us all and so they banned the lap of honour.

Waste of the horses really - David Gray could have ridden one around, holding the cup above his head.

I won't give them the satisfaction of being even slightly bothered about it.

Let's win it again in 2017 and do it then.

Spot on.

[JeMeSouviens]

It's not like the players weren't there. They joined in from the stands.

It was everything I thought it would be and more. A memory to last forever.

The actual game itself was far better than anything I'd even remotely dreamed of. If I let myself think we could win, it was hanging on for pens or a spawny deflection and then the alamo. A 3-2 where we dominated but had to come off the ropes and win it in injury time never entered my head for a second.

Totally and absolutely wonderful.

You're over thinking things. So what that there are mounted police etc. I've watched the video countless times and the only things that my eyes are focused on are the team and other Hibs officials, the fans and the Scottish Cup.

Enjoy the occasion because we've waited long enough for it.

Loads of lies being banded about by The Rangers and the media but, although we as a club are responsible for some of the events from Saturday, we are not to blame for the mindless Rangers morons who felt a need to also invade the pitch with only one thing in mind. That being to knock ten bells out of a Hibs fan who was probably only on their celebrating a Scottish Cup Win. Something their team has yet to achieve.

GGTTH

I agree with the OP - incredible day and weekend but I do feel a slight sense of disappointment both that we didn't get a lap of honour and that we gave Rangers PR machine and the media an opportunity to deflect from the win. It didn't hamper my celebrations in the hours and days to come mind

This^^ When I was singing it at the end of the game I was looking at the rest of my fellow Hibs Supporters and not the Glesga polis

[Steve20]

Sunshine on Leith was amazing on Saturday. I've watched it back a few times since and it's still great.

[green day]

Nah, it adds to the Hibs story. **** the media, they hate us anyway.

Circle the wagons.

I agree
Seeing the players on the pitch at full time is part of the day.

[hibs0666]

To be honest I think we are going to get hammered by the SFA and reasonably so. We will have to take responsibility for our erses and the medicine that is coming our way.

But we won it and it is a magical thing.

[Carheenlea]

Now that the dust has settled, I feel some disappointment that we didn't get to see the players celebrate on the park at the end and show off the cup. We don't have a team photo on the podium with green and white ticker tape and and fireworks. The players were denied, what for some might be the only time in their lives, to celebrate with their young kids on the pitch and enjoy SOL from there rather than squeezed up on the podium. The day was incredible, a day I'll never forget, snd Sunday was extraordinary as well. I just feel there are 20 minutes missing from it all, 20 minutes that might have been the best 20 minutes of it all.

Next up - "I won the lottery but they gave me the £10M in 20s and I wanted 50s".

Lol part of the day is normally sloping off at the final whistle.

We've won the cup with a last minute goal yet some people are complaining that the players weren't in the right place afterwards or there were too many police on the pitch spoiling the ambience.

Bloody hell. Just take it as it was and look back fondly.

The SOL was amazing.Not bothered about a lap of honour, just wanted to see our legend captain lift the Scottish cup, and we all did.

You'll probably be a bit disappointed when you go to Heaven too!

[Kato]

Me and a pal left the ground singing "You can stick your lap of honour up yer ****". By the time everyone had left the pitch there was no real reason to cancel other than the SFA's noses being put out of joint.

Nothing at all spoiled that day.

[SlickShoes]

I'd change nothing about Saturday myself, it was perfect. Better than I could have dreamed.

If we had won in any other manner there wouldn't have been a pitch invasion, but a last minute goal and coming from a losing position, was a recipe for chaos.

Police should have realised when the goal went in and positioned themselves accordingly but they didn't, whoever was match commander made an arse of the end of the game.

The pitch was completely clear after 15 minutes, it's not that long and to be honest on the day it flew by because I was in the stands hugging and kissing people that were feeling the sheer elation I was.

[jockodile]

No cup getting lifted and no SOL, which could have easily happened, would have been the 9m instead of 10m.

As it is we got 9.75m and back up to 10 after the parade on Sunday.

Its only due to the persistent negative coverage from the usual sources that it can feel as if we missed something. We did, but only a little.

Contrast that to walking out from the last 2 cup finals and you will get a proper sense of perspective.

It's more like winning ten million and moaning about being a tenner short.

"Short changed"

[FromTheCapital]

It's alright. We can do the lap of honour when we win it next season

It did spoil the actual 5 to 10 minutes just after the final whistle for me but that was all. I like the opening statement could not understand for the life of me why the fans were not going back to their seats It was obvious there would be no cup presentation while they were on and as I had said in a statement on the day I feared the authorities might at that moment have decided to present the cup in the dressing room and cancel playing SOL and GGTH. If they had and let's face it because of the behaviour of some of our fans they might have it certainly would have marred the day but fortunately I am probably just a panicker

Words have yet to come into use that describe how little I care about all of that.
2016 Scottish Cup Winners- Hibernian FC that's all that matters to me.

Would never change any of it. We won the cup for god sake be happy!!!
