If 2016 hadn't happened ...

**JeMeSouviens** · 13-05-2021 02:04 PM

... how nervous would we all be now? A winnable cup final to end the drought. I doubt I'd be sleeping much and it would be going round and round in my head.

I'm positively blasé this time.

**darwenhibby** · 13-05-2021 02:14 PM

Agree feel like the monkeys off our back
We do not need to be as nervous
If the Hibs turn up and play to their capabilities they will win

***blackpoolhibs*** · 13-05-2021 02:17 PM

I'm not nervous at all, in fact I'm thinking of playing golf that day instead of watching our inevitable win. 😂

***scoopyboy*** · 13-05-2021 02:21 PM

If 2016 hadn't happened I would be really nervous about the outcome and probably think we will never have a better chance to win it.

I would also be spewing a lot worse than I am now that I cannot attend.

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 13-05-2021 02:25 PM

True, I'm feeling quite relaxed. Winning it again would be amazing but I don't feel the terror of blowing another shot at it since 2016.

***Sean1875*** · 13-05-2021 02:26 PM

Still *****ing it.

Imagine we couldn't have been there for that!

**Sir David Gray** · 13-05-2021 02:34 PM

I'd be devastated about the prospect of missing out on attending the match which would end 119 years of not winning the Scottish Cup.

I'm still pretty down about the likelihood of not being able to go but I'm more relaxed about it than I would have been if 2016 hadn't happened.

**Sammy7nil** · 13-05-2021 02:35 PM

Not such a big deal now the Monkey has gone of course we all want to win but there will not be the same level of devastation should we lose.

***JohnM1875*** · 13-05-2021 02:36 PM

Given the prize that's on offer for this specific Scottish Cup I'm absolutely bricking it.

Same an extra 1m quid is in the line.

**Pretty Boy** · 13-05-2021 02:40 PM

I'm still nervous, maybe even more so.

I'd almost resigned myself to never winning it. After the Falkirk game my plan in 2016 was to get drunk and try not to let Hibs spoil the day.

***Diclonius*** · 13-05-2021 02:48 PM

Winning the Scottish Cup for the first time in 119 years and not being able to be there to celebrate it. That would be atrocious. No thanks.

Was thinking about that earlier. A Scottish Cup final against a team 20 points behind us in the league to finally break a 119 year hoodoo. My nerves would be shredded.

It hit me properly today now that I've made plans to watch the game. Wish I could fast forward to it.

Too early over here to be on the hooch lol. I'm assuming it's a 3pm kick of British time?

***weecounty hibby*** · 13-05-2021 03:31 PM

I'm honestly more nervous this time. I knew we were going to win in 2016, so much so that I didn't have my usual 10 pints before a cup final and had no drink at all as I wanted to remember every second of it. 2016 was a strange one as having been kicked in the nuts so many times you'd think I'd know better but I genuinely just knew it was happening

It's 2pm so it will be an even earlier start.

That's 8am here - sorry I can't handle booze at that time of day

***overdrive*** · 13-05-2021 03:37 PM

I'm nervous as I couldn't attend the 2016 cup final or watch it on TV. The fact I can watch this and have a chance of actually attending (however miniscule of a chance) has made me quite nervous.

It is a bit of shame we didn't end the hoodoo against a proper club with a proper history and top flight experience like St Johnstone rather than against a lower league club who had never won a trophy.

***One Day Soon*** · 13-05-2021 04:13 PM

I was very relaxed about this until I saw some the club's twitter stuff on the semi and then a little bit of The Greatest Cup Win.

Watery eyes again and very excited now.

**my left peg** · 13-05-2021 04:24 PM

I think I'm more nervous for this final than 2016 as I feel it's a great chance.
Didnt think we would win in 2016 and after Halidays goal said to my mate at least we have had another good day out!
Didnt think we would win in 2013 or 2001 ,have wiped 2012 from my memory and was convinced we would win in 1979.

I'm gutted I can't be there. it wouldn't top 2016 obviously but still, we don't get that many chances to see Hibs win a trophy and if they do win, I'll be gutted to be watching on telly and down in Manchester instead of with my brother and hibs mates.

that said, I'll be more gutted if they don't win. so get it won.

Trying to get oot before game.. golf to spoil day until Hibs make everything good again

**MunsterHibee** · 13-05-2021 05:41 PM

I'm probably more nervous tbh given that we've just finished 3rd and could top of an excellent season with a trophy and a huge cup win which would guarantee group stage European Football at Easter Road for the first time in donkeys years. The cash boost aswell to the club would be huge and vital to us getting even stronger over the coming seasons.

Every Hibs fan should be nervous. This is great chance to have our best season since 1952 with added bonus of a guarantee of 8 European games next season until December. This could be the start of a period of sustained success and season after season of European football.
