;D ;D ;D ;D Hope springs eternal, though my experience tends to mitigate against it.  Somehow though, I've got it into my head that JC will supply the tactics and tram motivation to win this thing, where the likes of Blobby could not. I am also confident we can win the SC semi, and yes I know that the final against Celtic would be a challenge of a different level... EXCEPT that when you look at Celtic recently they haven't been wonderful. Look at the way the Huns frustrated them the other day. Barney, Ali and me all said it weeks ago on Burns Night; the double is ON! |

Oh yes the double is definately on. i have seen Celtic hump us so many times in finals. I asked myself after every one of those humpings why do i build myself up to be celebrating a win only to have the guts ripped out me. The answer is always because if i didn`t believe we could do it then whats the point of watching them week in week out. Hibs are my team and WHEN we lift the Scottish Cup in May 2007 spare a thought for all those die-hard Hibees who never had the pleasure of seeing that. There now see what you`ve done am getting all excited and clenching my fist and punching the air Glory Glory to the Hibees.

I promised myself that I would try to keep my emotions in check this week and not get all excited, but it's impossible. I really think we're going to do it! The last CIS final against Livi was one of the worst experiences I've ever had following Hibs. I had got back from visiting Tina in Atlanta the day before, was jetlagged as hell and thankfully that dulled the pain of defeat. A mere 2 nights before we were driving along the downtown connector in ATL with my head drunkenly out of the window screaming "and now yer gonnae believe us...etc". This time it's different. JC knows what it means and knows how to get his boys motivated. Blobby coudnae motivate a team if his life depended on it. We can do it and we WILL do it! C'MON THE CABBAGE!!!!!!!! |

Like you Ali, I was at the Livi final and it was one of the most gut-wrenchingly bad experiences, mainly because Livi were almost as shyte as we were and deserved to get beat. I still do not understand how we contrived to let them win, it was an absolutely dire display to put on for a cup final in front of 30,000 glory-hungry supporters.
Thrusting those ugly memories firmly to the back of my mind now as I am confident we can make up for that this year. Maybe even twice?
