Lets not get drawn on trivia here guys! this was one of the best results in a cup-final hibs have ever had,the fact we can complain about technical problems is taking away from the glory of the result,,i must admit i seen the whole game and all the aftermath celebrations,the fans singing sunshine over leith after the game was superb,and as the guys say it's hibs fans doing it for hibs fans so that we can see whats going on with our club back home. so i say,we will see these wonderous scenes soon enough and enjoy the fact that we just WON the CUP!!

I'm delighted that we won the cup, and that you saw it all. I'm sure you didn't mean to rub in the fact that we missed the most important part of it. I wonder if you would consider my anger to be "trivia" if you had missed it. Somehow, I think you'd be feeling the same as me. It's Hibs fans doing it for Hibs fans for MONEY. When you charge for a service, you need to be professional.

I think you're over-reacting slightly ali, but I can't blame you. You're absolutely right - if my feed had gone down I'd be livid. Better half a game than none tho eh?
The HI guys provide a really excellent service all year round - I hope it's just unfortunate circumstances that have led to today's problems.
Would be nice to hear from them tho...
and Markbin - you'll not find anybody here who's less than utterly delighted at the result but don't tell me you wouldn't love to see the crowds at ER right now...

No, I don't think I'm over-reacting in the slightest. Like everyone else, I've waited a loooooooong time for this moment, and to be robbed of the satisfaction of actually seeing it with only eight minutes to go is not what I would describe as "trivia". Yes, I appreciate the work that HI do. John Campbell is one of my best friends, and I hope he doesn't take my disappointment personally, but this is not the first time this has happened. The same thing happened towards the end of the QF against Hearts, and a few other games as well. Of course there are going to be teething problems, but they've been doing this for 2 years now. These sort of problems should be behind us now. If not, maybe they need to take professional advice instead of the "hibs fans doing it for Hibs fans" approach. I'm sorry if this seems like sour grapes, but as you said, if you were in my position, you'd feel just the same.

Interesting - they just said on Talk 107 that the HI guys only just got back to ER from Hampden - apparently the M8 is slightly busy!

i understand about the fact that the connection went down i know i would definitely have been peeved to say the least,i don't want to rub it in or anything at all like that. i just hope we can all enjoy this great occasion,for what i can say is that what the hibs supporters are trying to give us to see the game or listen to it is great it's unfortunately just one of those things that happen. if you want me to appauligise then i'm sorry if it was taken a way that i did not mean

It's not your fault, and I'm delighted that other people got the chance to see the whole thing. After a few hours away from it, the anger is subsiding and what's left is the fact that we won 5-1. Hopefully they'll get HI back up again sometime in the next 24 hours and I'll be able to see it. GGTTH!

I think you're over-reacting slightly ali, but I can't blame you. I'm going to side with Ali on this one. If you offer a pay-per-service, you need to be able to provide the service, especially if there's an expected high demand.

I was watching the game with Ali and I have to say we were gutted to lose the connection with ten minutes to go. The end of the game was lost to us; the two final goals which set the seal on a historic performance and result, the celebrations at the final whistle, the lifting of the cup.... we missed the lot. We felt cheated.
Very very poor show. Looking forward to hearing exactly what went wrong from those who charge money for the service.

We went to the bottom of the Mound and it was great - there were hundreds there but the buses went past a bit quick. We then jumped in the car and almost beat the bus to the Playhouse at the top of the walk - thousands there.
Loads of people down Leith Walk but we went round the back to Meadowbank but the cops were stopping anyone getting in the stadium, saying it was full. That was crap as there were at least 5,000 seats free. We got to ER as the buses were coming up from the Links and it was really mobbed. We got back to the stadium after following the bus in and we jumped the fence and someone broke open a turnstile and loads more got in.
The pitch stuff was spoiled by two arsehole invasions and so the players only went around half the stadium with the cup. The brief celebration ended to a crescendo of boos from those in the sides where the players did not come! Really strange that.
I watched the BBC coverage last night and the end of the game coverage with the players and supporters was great so I hope we all see that. That was the coldest I have ever been at a game and my return flight to Atlanta has now been delayed 8 hours.
