Hibernian FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

Can't go now but will be screaming in pub somewhere hoping the Holy Grail can be found.

It's our CL final really.

Huge game really. Hopefully the hunger is there after what happened last year. No fear, just tear into them from the starting whistle. I hope it's not for want of a ticket that your not going dude.

No it's not that. I'm just not broke. The timing is bad too. Moving house next week and then going to Ireland v England game and that's before stag on same weekend.

Know the pub I'm going to head to for game. Be good Craic.

I agree with all you say though. Once they try their hardest and show no fear that's all you can ask. 111 years is a hell of long time though for top 5 club not to have win their Domestic Trophy.

I would shed a few years if we win. I know 91 year old Hibs fan who has been at every final since 48(think that was year open for correction).

Don't think anyone would begrudge us it but you have to play and fight for it too.

Celtic ain't going show no remorse and why should they. Once we play to our best hopefully the rest will fall into place.

We are huge underdogs but hopefully we pull of the games of games and players would rather die then lose.

Fingers crossed.

To be honest I am hoping we just dont get cuffed. It is not a great Celtic team, and we can compete with them if every player is at their best, but to get an actual result we will need some good fortune and a good number of celtic players to have a serious off day (which is of course possible). I have a feeling that Lennon will have them properly motivated for this one though.

Interesting to see if McPake plays in the final, I hope Fenlon doesn't risk him he is clearly not been fit for some time.

It's kinda my worry too about Celtic.

Hopefully the Celtic Chef is Hibs fan or something ;-)

Well it was weeks. Now down to days.

This time next week we will have tears in our eyes from either joy or despair. Let's hope it's former for change.

I'm starting to lose sleep. Days have replaced months. Blink and it'll be hours. A cup win and I may not be returning home next sunday night. I may be sleeping in a bin. A phone call to the missus about the new hibernian tattoo i got on my face....:D who knows

Love that flag lad!!

Love it!!

3 days till **** gets real

GGTTH!!

Trying not to be hopeful for tomorrow, but damn it!

Nearly finished work for the day, will have a couple of pints tonight then it's the Ryanair red eye tomorrow to Edinburgh. If we win this I might just miss my flight back on Monday!

GGTTH.

We were poor today.

While last year was 100 times worse I felt the players yet again left themselves down.

Not to be. People are already calling for Fenlons head need to get a bit of reality in. We have made progress under him. We took over a team in relegation zone and got us to 2 cup finals.

He surely has to get more time. Willing to give him 2 more years. He has earned that.

Forgot to mention the terrific support we had today till the very end.

Louder and more passionate then the team that won.
Proud to be a Hibee!!

I dont think many people are calling for Fenlon's head, we were singing his name at the end. It pretty much went to script today but I cant remember coming out of a cup final loss feeling more positive.

Well I'm thrilled to hear that.

You know I kinda feel the same.

I guess few hours of me thinking it through but it's still not been bad season.

Still lot of good lads coming through and club is healthy.

Push for Top 6 next season is must though.

We lost to a better side end of story,if Doyle had scored in the first minute it may have been a different game but it wasn't to be,proud of the support today the vast majority stayed til the end,as for Fenlon anybody calling for his head knows fcuk all about football,you dont make a silk purse out of a pigs ear overnight,it will take time but we are heading in the right direction.In Pat we trust GGTTH.

It was hard to tell who won at the end if you looked at both sets of supporters.

Hibs fans have become less and less tolerant of each further disappointment in recent years but something has certainly changed for the positive at the club this year - I have not seen a hibs support respond like that to a losing cup final.

We were rubbish yesterday but to beat Celtic we need all our best players fit and on form, our dodgiest players to step up a level, key celtic players to have an off day, and a bit of luck. None of these things happened.

We badly need an attacking midfielder - too much responsibility heaped on Claros by other players to make the killer pass, he is not that type of player and needs a link forward, particularly if Griffiths is unable to drop back for the ball, like yesterday.

I am already looking forward to next season. We have some great young players coming through, the makings of a fantastic midfield and Fenlon is starting to move beyond damage limitation and actually play some football. I also have no doubt we will be back at Hampden next year

I'm just glad Fenlon is not coming in for fault too much in this.

Yesterday was not our day but it's still much better then last year.

Fenlon needs time. It's not as if things were flying high when he took over. He saved club from relegation. Don't forget that,

Sky reporting McGivern set for a 2 year deal. He wasnt great at the weekend but id be more than happy with this if true

Sorry to hear your lads are moving to Nike. Expect crap quality compared to what you had with Puma.
