Hibs going into the new season after winning would do wonders for their confidence. As someone else said, this changes the whole dynamic. You thinking them winning would've made no difference at all? To Hearts and what we need to do-no. For hibs fans and tears, yes. But nae ****ing luck to them goblins. St Johnstone won the cup double and expect them to be shite as normal next season.

Don Dan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) We need to invest in decent players none of this take a punt malarkey which hasn’t worked out well for us. Im still not convinced by our current recruitment strategy. I would back up my thoughts by some of the absolute dross we brought last season. What can we do about it, to be honest I’m at a loss for suggestions other than Neilson has to go along with the other coaches. Replaced by? Once again I’ve no idea. Hib’s are not the model I’d be looking at. Edited May 22, 2021 by Boy Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hibs had a very decent season, one that we'd probably be pretty happy with. Cracks me up however, that despite their best league finish since 2005, they want the manager and players gone. That said, despite their good season, we're back to piss in their cage. I sincerely hope we grasp the opportunity with both hands and stick them well and truly back in their box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's how we might line-up next season with Souttar back and with Halkett looking better as part of a 3. Depends who we can get as wingbacks though.

Silvery_Moon Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 1 hour ago, tolcross lad said: Today was all about the pendulum that swings in Edinburgh football.In my time as a boy in the Fifties to the present day it has swung mainly towards Hearts but there have been bad times for us eg early 70s. Had Hibs won today that would have been 2 Scottish cups within 5 years.They are in Europe.Hearts are emerging from relegation and Hibs have finished 3rd.Had they won today momentum was all theirs. Some people dont seem to understand how important this result is for our club.Nor do they understand momentum. Personally I am feeling a lot better about next season now. A second Hibs Cup win in 5 years and us persisting with Neilson would have been demoralising in my opinion. Whilst Neilson is remaining at least they have blown their big chance of glory and it hopefully (and finally) gives Hearts the kick up the backside it needs.

Of all the games you can quite fairly accuse Hearts of a lack of belief in, that Celtic cup final (in fact both of them) are not the games. It was a fantastic effort in both cases, both results swinging on a mistake and reffing decision in the first and the width of a post in the second. There are other cup finals - St Mirren LC, Aberdeen 86 when you might have a point, but not those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
