21st of May

[el hibs]

As we approach the 21st I wonder if anybody else is still doing wee things to make themselves chuckle and remember the day in May?

My watch alarm goes off at 4.45 every day as a reminder that we've won the cup.

I currently take too much satisfaction from road cameras that tell you how fast your driving. I like the ones that say thank you. So, I aim for it to say, '18 thank you' in a 20 zone and '28 thank you' in a 30 as a way of saying thanks to McGinn and Stokes.

Alongside this, I have been on the look out for shopping with the 21st of May. Having milk expiring on the 21st felt necessary.

Much of that day was a blur but one thing that stands out is coming back on the bus wondering what the time was, glanced at my phone... 19:02

I seem to see 19:02 as the time more than any other notable number nowadays.

I was teaching my four-week-old daughter to say "thank you sir David for giving us the cup" as part of her morning routine. We have a picture of him in the kitchen. Other than I think I'll just be playing g the day over again, for example I was just off the train at this time on that day.

i watched the last 15 minutes on Youtube after a few too many on Saturday night and felt nervous despite knowing what happens. Three years later i still dont think its sunk in yet.

Still impossible to read without welling up.

[Northernhibee]

I can’t watch it without welling up three years on. My old man had been very unwell and it looked as if he was on his way out. He’s recovered but from some of the lowest days of my life to the very best in two weeks, what that game of football did for my family can’t be overspoken.

FFs name is wrong.

I'm very superstitious and on the 21st of May every year since 2016 I copy my exact movements of that day.

I wake up in the same hotel room and put on the very same clothes I had on that day. From the hotel I walk to the pub for a few before walking to Hampden (via the bookies) signing hibs songs.

I then break into Hampden and stay in the stands until the game would be finished. Then the whole stadium erupts and I invade the pitch around about full time and leather my cardboard cutout of tavernier right in the face, before stealing some turf and having a bounce on the goalposts.

2016 - Watched Hibs lift Scottish Cup

2017 - Conceived first child

2018 - Watched "Time for heroes" for the first time with slightly bemused (let's face it - totally oblivious) 12 week old

2019 - ????

Gonna sit down tomorrow and watch Time for Heroes with the Persevered Tshirt on.

Also need to think of a name for the 21st of May - *THAT* Day? Sir David Gray Day?

Missed the game as I had a slipped disc. Watched in an armchair on TV bubbling my eyes out when I jumped up when Sir David Gray headed in the winner to a mixture of pain mixed with exhuberance.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Are The Harp & Castle having their annual showing of the game?

Brilliant 😂

Was in the hibs club on Saturday, sure I saw a poster, saying they had a few things on, including the whole game.

Funny my wedding anniversary is up there with 19/5/12.....days I’ve wiped from the memory!

[Pretty Boy]

Fantastic weekend and one I hope I never forget.

Of course the game was fantastic but the memories of the day after in the Links with various generations of my family and friends, thousands of Hibs fans smiling in the sunshine and seeing Stubbs, Gray, Stokes et al holding the cup aloft on top of the bus still makes me smile every single time I think about it.

For months after that day I walked around like a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders, it was like walking on air. A weekend that was a once in a lifetime moment for any football fan. I daresay we'll win cups again but that one will always be special.

Is it a cup final (2019) free day

[we are hibs]

That game was so crucial for the future of the club. If we had lost the gates would have dropped and we would have been getting crowds of 5-6k every other week. We desperately needed it. That whole weekend won't be topped even if we win it again. It will never be as unique as that. I was still buzzing a week later

[21.05.2016]

Best day of my life. Absolutely wonderful in every way. Being there with my old man was very very special indeed along with the many other family members and friends who I've been going to the games with since I was wee.

The whole cup run really couldn't have been scripted any better tbh-

1) Raith - 1st goal of the run scored by life long hibee McGreagor
2) Hearts being 2-0 up at tynecastle, their fans giving it big about 1902 etc then making a **** up of it in the last 10 mins
3) Putting hearts out under the floodlights in front of a packed ER. The SoL was unbelievable as well.
4) Inverness. A win up there in the replay, a place we have struggled at over the years.
5) Dundee Utd semi final. Up steps big Conrad to be the hero (what a story! 16 months out then 1st game back does that!)
6) 2-1 down with 15 mins to go thinking "here we go its happening again" then up steps Stoksey then Sir David the captain in injury time to win it. BEAUTIFUL absolutely ****ing BEAUTIFUL!

The parade the following day was just surreal. People crying in joy, everyone there with their loved ones, SoL at the links etc. Just amazing amazing memories.
