I'll hold my hand up and take part of the blame. When we reached the CIS cup final and SFA Cup semi, I decided right there and then that I could care less about the league this year if we could just win AT LEAST one cup. I doubt I'm the only one. Hopefully the players have been concentrating on next week, I know I have. John Collins going to Fulham!!??!!

Me too mapleleaf, but as far as the league is concerned, there is little to go for. Would rather win next week and of course the final, than worry too much about league results. Don't get me wrong, any game we get beat is sare tae bare, but 105 years ....... nuff said

Winning the Scottish Cup is the be all and end all for 99.9% of us. Seeing us lift the Scottish Cup is something that has been the dream for generations of Hibees. I don`t think there is any doubt for me ... IT MATTERS. Geeeez we all know what it feels like to be humped in that final. I don`t want to be one of the many that have lived and died and not seen us lift it. To quote Bill Shankly:" Football is not about life and death, its more important than that" But as usual with us all... hope springs eternal GGTTH

have to agree this weekend is BIG! It probably has been in the players minds since the cis cup final,with that immediately followed by so many players going away for international duty the squad had little time to prepare for the last 3 league games which has shown in their display's. Now that they have a week to prepare for this game i believe(HOPE!) we'll see a different display on the hampden turf. The Cup is what we all want!
On the news of the screws talking about fulhams interest in Collins i would be very surprised if even Collins would take any notice of that since he has only been a manager for 7 months! and the hibs board definitely would not entertain it! C'mon ye greens!

Thanks guys, now I don't feel so guilty So are we all hoping for a St J win so we can win the Cup, or A Smeltic win so we can qualify for Europe by Sunday night? All or nuthin' for me, come on the wee Perth team, do an OF double!!!

I must admit if the saints do win,i'll be crapping myself! knowing that to play a team from a lower division in a major final gives us a great chance but at the same time knowing they gave us our hardest game in winning the league cup! But either way,i would not be to unhappy if Cellick went out on saturday! It's possible But then so's a dunfy win as well,but nooo! thats not going to happen!! Fingers toe's and stoumach crossed!

Nah, if the lesser greens get humped, and Dunfy are not so determined as last week, the Mighty Hibernian will shut the yams up, and win the Scottish, no problemo <ale>

I hope Celtic get bushwhacked. Don't want to see their sorry faces in the Final with us.

Too many bad memories of Sellick cup finals in my youth. They just don't think about finals - they are just part of their season - it's only us that gets paranoid. The last thing I want is a resurgent Riordan playing against us in a final. For the youth team I coach here, we're allowed guests for tournaments - what about in the SC?

hi new member here. mick50, clermiston- -when i was born hibs had not won the holy grail for 50 years. I wont be around in another 50 . Despite the west of scotland meejah again undermining our great club.If there is any truth in the stories of player unrest -unhappy with team selection or tactics etc. the players are wrong to raise issues at this crucial and possibly memorable time for our club .put greviences to one side till the end of the season and get on doing what your paid for.--The supporters deserve no less than that. If any "senior player" has "sput the dummy oot " and there are rumours that one in particular has because he did bot play in the cis final,he ought be ashamed of himself. THis is our best chance of success in May (Dunfermline permitting!!) since 1979 . Get on with it GLORY GLORY

Collins arrived back after scouting mission in France.(We are told).Players back training to-day seems strange Collins going on travels at this time. However the "mob" across the city are luvin the ongoing shenanagins it deflects from the problems thave goat. PUB TEAM!! see ya! GLORY GLORY

How can a delegation of senior players have gone to the chairman? We don't have any senior players. I have never heard of anything so childish in my life, professional football players going to complain about the manager.

The Great Eddie Turnbull widnae huv put up wae this nonsense.Any rotten apples, his words would be shown the door. Petrie must back Collins on this. Talking of Mr. Turnbull,he was interviewed on local radio tonight. The Great man celebrated his 84th Birthday to-day. He will be at Hampden on Sunday. Happy Birthday Boss. - Aye maybe no senior players, -Prima Donnas ?? - Latest rumour Brellier, ( aye thats right! ) at Easter Rd next season also Brian Kerr of Motherwell. Back to the Debacle, Michael Stewarts contracts up in a few weeks. Any comments?

Aye, sounds like Stewart has been booted. But what a mess the week before a semi-final.
