lose the league game, win the cup tie, win the cup tie, lose the league game
What's in an Omen? Gregory Peck maybe. Billie Whitelaw even. Some sporting omens seem to be true for a long time, e.g. Spurs winning the cup in the year ending in 'one', or hertz doing it when it ends in 'six'. However, they don't really concern us before Sunday, but I think recent instances when we have played a side one week in the league, then the following week in the cup do. And it is for that reason that I didn't take Saturday's disappointment as sorely as I usually would have.
I'll justify my viewpoint that Dunfermline's victory bodes well for the semi by citing the following successive scoreline sequences: - Sat 14.2.87, league, Clydebank (h) 4-1 - Sat 21.2.87, SC, Clydebank (a) 0-1 - Sat 2.4.05, league, Dundee Utd (h) 3-2 - Sat 9.4.05, SC, Dundee Utd (N) 1-2. The perceptive amongst you will have discerned that in both of these league first, cup second successive weekend double-headers we won the league only to lose in the cup. Surely it stands to reason that just after playing and losing to a team you would desire an opportunity for vengeance as soon as possible. And that you literally would be 'up for the cup'. Wouldn't it? Well, we've got that opportunity. Let's do it.

Makes sense, lets hope your logic stands up on Sunday

We've done it in reverse as well; who can forget beating Celtic on pens after the 4-4 draw in the Skol Cup (weds 4.9.85) before getting humped 5-0 at home by them in the league on the Saturday?

Re: lose the league game, win the cup tie, win the cup tie, lose the league game
by the way, zondervan has helpfully pointed out that only last season we beat them 2-1 there in the league (weds 26 oct 05) before losing 0-3 at the same venue in, ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, that phucking lovely, gorgeous, snoggable, huggable, gleaming, shiny silver bauble we won under the managerial regime of a certain gadgie called Johnny Collins fi Galashiels just 23 days ago.
History is with us. As we seek to create Hibstory.

Did the same thing not happen with Aberdeen a few years ago aswell? Might be wrong on that one though and don't have time to google it.

Re: lose the league game, win the cup tie, win the cup tie, lose the league game
Andy - similar sequence of fixtures, not quite a double-header. We played at Hampden on Sun 9.4.2000, losing 2-1 after Russell Latapy's solo goal gave us the lead. Andy Dow equalised for us before an African player (who since has died) scored a wonder goal for their winner. We then played them three weeks later at ER (Sat 29.4.00) and Kenny Miller's last goal at ER (and penultimate one for Hibs) gave us a 1-0 win.
All the omens point to us. Which could count for sweet phuck all, of course. But let's try and be positive!
