better_call_saul Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Best piece of advice I have is to have a dump before you leave the house. I clogged the coach before it had left and left the pub on the way to Hampden in 2013. Everyone was pissing in the sink the way there and back.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I am incredibly relaxed again. A bit agitated yesterday, fed up waiting. Its a day to enjoy just being a Hearts fan. I said this to my mate in 96, trudging out with a 5-1 drubbing. Don't worry we will be back for plenty more of these. This feels very much like 96 to me. The start of something. 96 team had a bad start and a good end, but the wrong cup result, but it was light at the end of the tunnel. The first 2 months of the season promised what might be and soon. Regardless of the result tomorrow, have faith Jambos, better days are coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Jambo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I am not nervous for this one at all. 1998 - we had such a good season and team that to finish with no trophy would have been a scandal, that and we had waited so long 2006 - Had we not beaten Gretna we would never have lived it down and thrown away a golden opportunity for another trophy. That and again we had had an amazing season so it was fitting to win the cup 2012 - I was so nervous you would have thought I was playing. I felt that way for weeks. Utterly miserable couldn't even contemplate losing. 2019 - This is a shot to nothing and could turn a very ordinary season into one of the most memorable of the last 30 years. No one, pundits, bookies, fans, expects us to win so its a nice feeling compared to the previous two. P.s. All those with stomach issues that's what Imodium was invented for.....

The build up to that game was ridiculous and i was a bag of nerves every time i thought about pretty much from the moment we beat celtic. But then Paulo said this: “If you believe that losing puts the pressure onto the other team that wins more times, okay, you keep losing. Keep losing and put the pressure onto us.” It completely released the tension and we just knew that the preparation the boys were getting was 10% spot on.

N Lincs Jambo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I’m pretty relaxed probably because we’re not expected to win. Lose tomorrow and I’ll be over it unlike if the unthinkable had happened 7 years ago. More worried about being up in time. Leaving 8am tomorrow to pick my daughter up in Manchester at 9.30 then straight up the M6. Hoping to take a big detour back south via Gorgie Road so my daughter can witness the cup returning home ??

Even if we get skelped, I'm still going to have a right good bucket with the old man later, which is something we don't get to do often these days. Probably end up reminiscing about 98.

Dalstonjambo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Had been absolutely fine all week. Slept for a total of about 15 minutes last night. Am an absolute wreck today. Cannot concentrate on anything at work, and just sat staring at the clock. But one thing I am sure about. Heart of Midlothian in a cup Final - it's why we put up with the lows.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think I was more nervous before the finals against Gretna and hibs where we were expected to win. Losing them would have been a nightmare, the thought of which still brings shivers today. Traffic problems is my biggest concern as things stand. The motorway will be busy as we bring the cup home.

Ha, well spotted Your second para is spot on. I am as cynical about Hearts as anyone else but if anyone can't get excited about a Scottish Cup Final - especially against that lot - then i would recommend they sign off from Kickback and just move on with their life elsewhere.
