Hope the plane flying throbbers are feeling utterly embarrassed now.

Yes was thinking that too . They were and are a disgrace 

[AndyNic]

Unreal 

[Jambos_1874]

As always, Hearts show that they are the superior team. When we're down, we always show them that we are the big team. What a gutsy performance and streets ahead of the dross of last season. I know lots on here are reluctant to give Robbie in credit but I think he got that tactically spot on.

Not going to lie. I'm really, really emotional right now. I've just lost my job. It's my birthday weekend with a semi lockdown. The shitty, shitty news about the utter legend that was Mad Captain Zal (I'm not even touching that thread until tomorrow). 

 

That result has utterly transformed what could've been a shite weekend to a glorious one. That's why I love football. 

Sorry to hear about your job mate, this is why we need escapes, what a great win for all of us!

[Bootzilla]

Magnificent! - despite being gifted the advantage of their season being in full swing for months, despite some Jambos (?) pissing all over the team selection and predicting a defeat  - we f@cked the ****s ...Again. ENJOY

[1953]

Fantastic stuff, never in doubt 😂. Nerve wracking at times but we did it. YESSSS!!!

[Cruyff]

Hibs thinking they are "silky" x infinity 

[WaikatoJambo]

Well done Hearts, did Zal proud.

We shouldn't underestimate how much we were up against it playing a side with 2 months more competitive football. 

 

120 minutes too.

 

Well done Hearts.

I was hesitant to make a prediction for this very reason, this was a massive effort to pull out a win in a Cup we were clearly disadvantaged in!

[FJT]

Absolutely brilliant. 
must dedicate to Zal
credit to Robbie- tactically spot on and credit to the whole team, fought hard for the win against the odds

Said it was mainly for the fans. After the last year.

[August Landmesser]

Hibs with 15 games played, in the top league, us with four games played, in the Championship.

 

Did that count as a level playing field?

 

GIRFUY!!!!

 

[Australis]

The drink is flowing and the lockdown can GTF

So proud to be a Jambo!

NATURAL ORDER 

[leginten]

Utterly magnificent. Well done Robbie, well done the players. On this terrible day, a performance against all odds to honour the captain of our club on one of its greatest days.

Well played Robbie.  A few key players were way short of match fitness and he deserves a lot of credit.    Loving that smile 😊

[BarneyvB]

Superb, well done boys. Strange times #forZal

 

[JFK-1]

I hope the sheep win tomorrow. Firstly to stick one on Lennon and secondly I think they would be more beatable.

[jambobby]

Brilliant from Neilson. He won that game for us tactically. Totally showed up Jack ross

[North East Jambo]

Fantastic result! Icing on the cake was Nesbitt missing the penalty after being bigged up before and during the match.

[Clark Griswold]

That one was for you, Big Zal. RIP big man

Take care buddy. 

[Coco]

Very impressed with Kingsley.  A solid, calm player

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

As I said elsewhere, I hate that we are even playing these fixtures given the injustice enforced on us last season. However, winning this for big Zal and stopping whatever number of trophies for Septic would be the most amazing form of karma.

[Turkishcap]

May sneak over when dot nut reopens next eh.....week or so.

Just when we think we’ve run out of ways to embarrass them, we do that.

I'm awaiting their excuses so I can have a good hearty laugh.

Yasssss! Get in there man. Canny beat pumping that mob.

For Big Zal. What a result.

Neilson in.

 

****ing take that.

 

 

[Victorian]

Well done the born again hard Wighton.  Kingsley great as well.  Boyce worked his arse off.  Halliday got stuck in.  Naismith added the guile.  Gordon wow.

[Debut 4]

Tinged with huge sadness but a fitting victory for Zal. 
 

If this type of performance is a benchmark, it shows who’s good enough going forward and who isn’t. 
 

Everyone fought, even the ones who sometimes let us down with the technical side, but it hopefully gets through to the players how the feeling of accomplishment can be if you just put the work in for 90 minutes.  The hard graft, the running, tackling, harrying, bursting a gut to get back.......it has its rewards and that was a huge one tonight. 
 

RIP Zal. 🇱🇻🍺

Exactly.

 

I remember after the own goals derby, Robert Lang posted the 50 ways we had beaten them. And yet, we've probably found another 50 ways to beat them since then. They are the gift that keeps on giving!

[Don Dan]

Make a substitution, on come Naismith and Haring I bet Jack Ross thought WTF two crocks nae chance but they change the game for me. 

[Bazzas right boot]

Never in doubt 

 

 

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Note,  third time no Hibs fans have heard the final whistle 

[RustyRightPeg]

Make no mistake, Robbie has unfinished business at Hearts and I am here for the ride. This game today was the first step. 

 

Bring it on!!!

[StirlingJambo]

Hibs were better first half. After that hearts better the rest of game, easy
