Craigieboy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Boy in the barber shop yesterday. I'm sitting getting my barnet cut and he comes in, takes a seat and immediately starts to chat to the staff. Raving about how Hearts won the cup with five scrappy goals. He's sitting moaning away, blah, blah, Spanish waiter, blah, hibs fans were magnificent, blah, blah we made Hearts look good, blah, moan. I'm sitting facing him in the mirror and saying pretty much nothing while sporting a greggtastic smile. It was pure joy. I don't get the chance to work with many hibbys so my baiting is limited to Facebook etc. That was a real treat though. "Five scrappy goals".

loveofthegame Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 That's the thing - to us, this has ended everything. BUT they are so ******* deluded they will come back again next season spouting the same pish they always have. They NEVER EVER learn. I find it best to ignore them and just laugh.

Drylaw Hearts Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'd take 5 scrappy goals over 1 scrappy goal every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is because we're the 'establishment' club we rarely work with Hibs fans. Most of us are judges, CEOs of multinationals, MPs and the like. Most Hibs fans occupy the benefit colonies, but those who do work are invariably record producers for indie labels, poets (unpublished) or graphic designers. They can argue away their cup final violation all they like - it's game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgie rd eh11 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It's how they console themselves. In 98 we were playing a poor rangers team , that contained the likes of Gough, Goram, Laudrup and future world cup and champions league winner Gattuso. In 06 we only scraped past gretna, ignoring the fact we had already beaten 3 top six teams on the way to the final. Admittedly the semi was a bit easy that year. This year we beat 4 SPL teams including the current champions and played piggy in the middle with hibs for most of the second half of the final. Still the goals were scrappy eh.

Jamboy81 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The best goal was Skacel's second by a mile. Even that wasn't as spectacular, by his standards. Hard to argue Barr's or Gowser's werent scrappy. They were also brutal defending. The other was a pen after great wing play and the other one was a deflection. They're kind of clutching at straws. What can't be argued is the we were by far the best team. Even I was shocked at how inept they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF11JamTart Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The fact that all FIVE of the goals were scrappy further taints our cup final win. Oh well. I'm sure I'll get over it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Many years of abject poverty in a football context has left most of them incapable of rationality. It's a sickness.

DiggersJambo Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I feel like I've totally missed out this week. Being surrounded by Jambos is great but having only one Hibbish mate means my opportunities for ripping are fairly limited. Considering that ripping him right now would be tantamount to stamping on a kitten, I'm wondering if it's morally worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 At my bus stop yesterday a guy in a Celtic top was moaning about how he'd had a bet on Rudi first goal, only for 'some guy no-one had ever heard of in their entire life' to get the opener. That'd be Scotland cap Darren Barr, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and our 5th - magnificent first touch by Rudi after a cheeky wee interplay of passes then through McPake's legs and right into the corner. Aye. Scrappy.

Guest Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 How was it that Pat Nevin described our set pieces? 'Organised Chaos' Otherwise known as tactics Exactly, take McGowans goal for example. Hearts have a corner and deliberatley put two men out to take it, with Hibs already being down to 10 men, it draws out 2 hibs players, leaving more room in the box (its harder to score in a a crowded box) The corner gets played to a free Hearts player in the box and Hearts score.

This above surely deserved pride of place under your "Myths from after the final" thread. Aparently there is one massive Hearts fan who would agrees with your barber. Aparently after Craig Thomson received his medal Petrie shouted to him that was five scrappy goals. Didn't see it or hear it myself but allegedly Thommo just shook his dead looked at him and said "aye yer probably right tache but GIRUY anyway".

JamboAberdeen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 To be fair all our goals but Rudi's 2nd were either scrappy/dubious penalty. But in 10 years time nobody would remember how we scored those goals, only the fact 5-1 victory would remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
