Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I haven't been bad all week. But now I just want to get my top and my scarf on and go to the game. Sure I am not alone. Any suggestions to help. Nothing else on my mind any longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick James Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've more or less shunned it out completely. Being on holiday helped. First day back at work today should keep me busy. Tomorrow I'll go out for some dinner and a couple of pints to keep me focused, and then Saturday I'll get in the mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only way I'm gonna burn off the energy to manage sleep on Friday night. This is the first cup final I've ever attended anywhere (I don't count non league regional Cup finals in both Scotland and England that I've gone to) ............ I'm allowed to be overly excited.

letsalldothebeattie Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I haven’t been too bad in terms of thinking about the final too much this week. Works seen me through. Saying that now that it’s thursday and final is so bloody close now I’m finding my mind wandering to Saturday and what could be. I’ve already said to everyone at work why’s it not Saturday twice today. Christ knows what I’ll be like tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalOrder74 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Back shift today and Friday, night try and deprive myself of sleep tonight so I have a fighting chance of getting to sleep tomorrow night, night before a final is torture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB21 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Am i the only one that isn't nervous, doesn't really care about and generally would rather be at home watching it? I know its a final but recent weeks have shown we just aren't in a good place at moment, yes its a final and yes should be buzzing, but as it stands, i'm just not.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Can't even say I'm nervous. Just in a hurry to get to the day to be honest. Unlike you though I am absolutely buzzing. 8 years, 6 years and now 7 years between finals, form means absolutely nothing. The good lady is going to Hampden and we are all going with her, regardless of form 4 minutes ago, PB21 said: Am i the only one that isn't nervous, doesn't really care about and generally would rather be at home watching it?

Jean Louis Valois Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Woke up at 4am the past 2 mornings with nervous excitement for Saturday. A week ago I wasn’t fussed, can’t wait now. Nothing beats a cup final day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's a good question. Everyone is different. I go a bit low key on it last couple of days. You could do something different like go to cinema to put mind elsewhere. All the preparation has been done. Just need to set the alarm for Saturday. I pretty much avoid the build up apart from some websites. Too much of Celtic. Once on train, then at pub it builds up again. Seeing the team, getting to the ground. Then the whistle goes.

Legend Claws Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Had to give up my ticket. Wife now 4 days overdue. In 2012, she was 10 days overdue by final day. I went. We all know what happened. Sweet, sweet humiliation of Hibs. I got back from Hampden and she went into labour at 11pm. The wee man held on for me. Good lad. This is our 3rd and I suspect it will happen fast, so can't go. Be weird watching a final on the TV, or even potentially on my phone in the hospital! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 At 4 or 5 lost finals in a row before 1998. Thought we had a chance in most of them. Went to 98 more in hope than expectation and look how that turned out ! Feeling the same this time. Enjoying the build up with little pressure. However no doubt I'll be all over the place by this time tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading to Tynecastle soon to get him a big foam hand for Saturday. Maybe a jesters hat too. Apologies in advance if you're next to us on Saturday.
