One of THE worst Hibs performances ever. Those of us who braved the freezing cauld to watch that complete cowpat of a game were robbed. And as usual, the pishy team who eliminated us got a severe hiding in the final. pointless

This was one of Hibs worst result's ever, to lose a cup semi against a team we should have blown away, particularly with the players we had. A shocking evening.

I don't recall any significant singing after the first hour from us, those Ayr lads put us to shame in that respect.

Thanks again to GJP for insisting the semi be played there while he was still our boss.

Unquestionably the worst Hibs game I've ever been to and that includes losing to the scum. After my mate Dave - who being born in Paisley reckons he knows Glasgow better than me even though I lived there for a year and had been to Hampden at least a dozen times before - takes us for a 2 hour detour around various streets that "look familiar, it's this way lads", we arrive 10 minutes into the most inept display imaginable. Seriously if you thought minutes 4 to 80 against St Johnstone were as bad as you can get then you never saw this "game". Why we never left at 90 minutes is a bit of a mystery as it was clear to all that Hibs couldn't muster three passes let alone a decent shot on goal.

Would Le God have made a decent manager in the long run? I think if he'd stayed Hibs would have improved but I also think he'd have brought in players that would have bankrupted us. Still think the whole episode shows Hibs at their worst - terrible boardroom decisions, players who didn't seem too bothered, fans following their heart over their head and a piss poor support at a Semi-Final. All part of the joys of following the cabbage though.

Sure was Bobby- do you remember the random woman (who happened to be my hairdresser when I lived through there) claiming that her distant relative played for the last Hibs team to win the Scottish Cup?! Bonkers.

This was the coldest I have ever been at a football match. Hibs wore that manky purple monstrosity and had as many chances to score as a hermit has names in his address book.

Train journey back to Edinburgh would have been deadly were it not for the fact that my brother told me the funniest story ever and I almost had a hernia laughing at it. Got back to Edinburgh and went to the blinking Subway on Lothian Road, gave myself a huge hangover and I woke up the next morning to the sound of my Dad falling out of the attic!

Truly radge.

This was undoubtedly the worst performance I have ever seen from a Hibs team in a big match, and probaly in any match. A terrible night all round. It was bloody freezing for one thing, there were hardly any fans there, and I doubt whether Hibs managed to string three passes together all night.

A Yogi inspired Ayr United played out of their skins, and well into extra time got the penalty which deservedly took them through to the inevitable OF humping in the final. Franck Sauzee was quoted after the game as saying he felt like he was watching a "ghost team", and praised the fitness, inspiration, and determination of the then 38 year old John Hughes as an example to his own team.

I was absolutely gutted after that game, and it definately spelt the end of Franck Sauzee's ill-fated reign as Hibs manager.

Paddy, I do remember that. I seem to think it was Bossie & Mikey G who got her life story.

I had forgotten how cold it was though. I remember now.
