I can't believe the outpouring of angst on here, people do actually realise that in order to lose a cup final you have to get to a cup final, yes?

Has perhaps Jack taken one for the team in this respect?
One misplaced line in the heat of the moment could have undone much of what had been achieved - he’s talked about building a culture - a lot of that will be behind the scenes the fruits of which may appear only further down the line.
However losing was a scenario that you can have some words prepped for to counter. Maybe he just couldn’t figure out what he’d just seen."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012
"Romanov was like a breath of fresh air - laced with cyanide." Me.

It’s too late for an apology, you would like to think that a harsh but basic lesson was learned in that you have to work as hard as your opponents in an era where football has become much more scientific and eventually comes down to percentages and moments. We don’t have the quality just to turn up or not turn up as was the case on Saturday.

Absolutely fantastic post."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Still have my doubts about Jack Ross though and the players need their backsides booted into next week
Spoilt brat or not 😃

Ridiculous thread.
Really?
Can I get an apology from Lothian Buses for my bus being late?

As I've posted before, I think that had Irvine scored with his chance in the first half we would have went on to win. He didn't and ultimately St Johnstone merited the victory.

Our support is honestly not that different to any others. Fans are fickle, they are emotional and passionate. Football dies without that.
I genuinely think our fans get a really tough time: media agenda, club flattering to achieve and phrases like "Hibsed it". Adding to that, we also get grief and in-fighting between fellow fans while people are emotional.
I was brought up to be prepared to witness Hibs failing, not from external media. From Hibs supporting relatives. So, I don't think it's about people accepting mediocrity, it is more that some people are more fed up with witnessing mediocrity. That's not a dig at anyone, that's just the way it is. Some people are more emotional, some are more analytical with spreadsheets and graphs, and some are just mental.
People are different. Acceptance of that is the greatest problem in our support.
We are Hibs isn't We are the Borg.Last edited by madhatter; 26-05-2021 at 08:22 AM.

'thinks he's better than he is' falls right in with 'accepting mediocrity'

In the last 10 years, some big sides have taken batterings or not turned up in finals.
Italy lost the Euro 2012 final 4-0. Juventus lost the 2017 CL final 4-1.
We made massive strides from 2012 to 2016. We've now had a setback. There is no need for this nonsense. Progress has been made, a setback has happened, more progress is needed.

Let's not forget that St Johnstone have only EVER won three major honours. Two of them happen to have been in the last 12 months. Does this mean they're doing things way better than everyone else? Or have the stars just aligned this season? Did they plan for their keeper to go up the field and score a last minute equaliser against the Huns? Or did they just get lucky?
For comparison, I remember many on here a few years back bemoaning why Scotland were so far behind Iceland, Iceland clearly had the right strategy etc etc. Where are we today? Euros about to start, Scotland in them, Iceland not. Scotland 8 places above Iceland in the world rankings. Nobody much mentioning Iceland as an example for others any more.
Everyone likes to create a narrative around events. Let's see where St Johnstone are next season, and let's see where Hibs are.
To all those calling for the manager's head since Saturday: had we scored first, and held on in a dire game and won the cup, have a think about how you would be feeling about Jack Ross now. Still calling for his head?
