Full Time: Hibs 2 v Gunts 1

[Sheldrake07]

Great result. Brilliant first half performance, slight nervy second half. But, despite the Hearts pressure in the second, the team held it together.
Salinger made some cracking saves. Newell and Mayor outstanding.
Pleased for the manager. Hopefully this is something we can kick on from!
Well done Hibs!

 

[Hammi]

Excellent result ! Take that doubters!
Every team in Scottish football is beatable.

Hibees

 

[Norwayhibs]

What a game, we thoroughly deserved that, Joe Newell was magnificent.

 

[Wull1955]

I think the managers tactics 1st half won us the game, that midfield was superb, then we held on, well done to everyone involved

17.22 Tom English.....what a sour fucking *&*^.

[Archie]

Speechless. They looked like a neutron bomb had gone off in their face.

 

[hibbybilly]

We're playing the Huns in the final.

[Bofahibee]

I hope Rocky is back for the final.

 

[Dub]

I hope Rocky is back for the final.

Me too because Kerr is a fucking bombscare most of the time.

 

[Dier - 1558]

As said in a couple of earlier posts, the Huns will be complacent, we’ve got the beating of them.

To be fair he’s been better with Joe in front of him.

Need to start scoring more of our chances when they come

Good performance, best of the season, thought Newell in particular was so good. Hopefully now this can give us the push on in thr league.

 

[Zab]

Ive still got a wee bit of my nails left but thats only because I just read the thread after the final whistle.
Congratulations to the manager, players, those who travelled and those who posted in here for getting through that.

The past couple of weeks...Newell is showing his metal.

 

[Zab]

The Boyle and McGrath haters can rest easy tonight, they both stepped up yet again in a big game

 

[Wishbone]

The past couple of weeks...Newell is showing his metal.

Hope he will soon be showing his medal

Although I live within a mile of Hampden every game I have been too in last year we have not won.

I decided today to not attend. Should I attend final?

 

[hibs1875]

Amazing result. Well done Hibs Even bigger well done to the fans that turned up in hope of the good guys prevailing. Incredible fans!

 

[Ryan69]

Hope he will soon be showing his medal

Either way..he will.

Whether he wants to show it..depends on the result.

 

[cleanyman]

Loved being proved wrong. I thought we were Fantastic. If it wasn’t for Klidje it would have been 4-1 Hibs.

That’s the passion and the standard of performance we want to see.

Boyle and Paslack were possessed

Wee bit harsh on Klidge.
Boyler shot in a similar position first half z(though he hit the target).
The one near the end - Cadden did have a gint on him, so no tap in. Their keeper got down really well to deny a goal.
Klidge looked quite direct when he came on - different running from Elding.

A lot less Joe haters in green and white

Just reminded me I've never seen Hibs win a semi at Hampden in person.
Today's another one.

Only semi I've seen us win in person was at TyneFritzl

Love it.
Bigger celebrations for beer than the win

 

[Hibee Kev]

Delighted. Well done the whole squad they all played their part - a few to single out but will do that tomorrow, just about back in Gimerton on the uncle Dougie bus Spied me a wee @hibbybilly

And what are the odds, passed the last Hearts league cup winning side en route home

 

[Beagle]

See when you’re as pessimistic as I am, you’re never disappointed.
Great result. Hopefully that’s kick started the player’s belief.

 

[hibbybilly]

If the answers 65 years, what’s the question?

Klidjé is just one of those players that gets the blame regardless.

Shades of the old Hibernians fighting spirit and passion.

To be honest although really impressed with the change with the team and the new manager I did think we were going to get a hiding then I thought about the morning of May 2016 and just thought fuck it we could do it.

I just never can watch those matches live on the TV. Too much nerves.. Couldn't watch it on the TV either and occasionally looked at flash score, then last 10 mins back and forward to the phone.

Nerves were shot by the end and now celebrating here in Wexford in my local, probably have a hangover tomorrow. My Grandfather up above will be smiling at that result, he never liked the hearts as he played against them for years.

 

[Purple & Green]

Winning your first derby is massive. I think he’ll do okay.

1st win for the manager.
1st time winning from behind in about 30 odd games.
Finally beating the gunts at hampden.
Oh and hearts wait for the league cup stretcheeeeeeees on and on.
GIRFUY.

Have to say, the professor done his job today, he got the team up for it.
Now his job is to keep them up for it in every game they play. I do think he might just be the man to do it.

 

[Purple & Green]

If we get through, we shouldn’t fear the Huns, their biggest weakness will be complacency, they will think they just need to turn up………………..as they did in 2016.

Yes - this post here’s a couple of interesting factoids

We’ve never beaten Hearts at Hampden in 4 attempts….oh wait

But the belter that I heard was Hearts have NEVER beaten Rangers at Hampden in TWENTY attempts.

Best they didn’t make the final really.
