Greedy Jambo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've got zero nerves, because i know what to expect. I just hope Bob comes up with a new game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthefox Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Win or lose I just recall Wallace Mercer (just minutes after the Dens Park last day loss) telling assembled media and fans we are an entertainment industry and while the result isn’t always what you wanted it’s entertainment (of sorts!). I think he got it when some didn’t. Mon Hearts win or lose please give us some entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 No nerves, we go in as underdogs so there isn't the same level of expectation as there was in 2006, or sheer dread at the prospect of losing in 2012. We pushed Celtic close in the previous 2 finals, both of which we could have won despite being big underdogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambro77 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I know I'm getting up tomorrow shitten it. And then I remind myself that Robbie and co are far better qualified than me to make team selections etc. keep the faith 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron78 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I don't think I'm too nervous for myself as I realise we probably have a 1 in 10, maybe 2 in 10 at best chance tomorrow. We've competed well at the last couple of finals and been hugely unlucky due to cheating and the randomness of penalties. However I am nervous for my boy who is 15. He's been a bit unlucky to grow up as a hearts fan in an era where hibs batted way above their average against us and only now is he starting to understand why we own them. I really would give anything for him to see a hearts Scottish Cup victory tomorrow. It took me a while so see hearts win as I was 22 in 98 and I would love him to see a trophy win earlier than that, but facing the old firm in Glasgow is always a near impossible task. My head says its going to be difficult. My heart says I'm going to be celebrating with my boy in the streets of gorgie tomorrow evening as our players will step up and meet the challenge.

No Idle Talk Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Took a trip to Tynecastle this afternoon and bought some gear from the club shop. Went to the Tynecastle Arms for a couple of pints. Nerves/excitement kicking in now. My head says this game has come at the wrong moment for us. My heart says we can do it. Come on the JT's!!

These are the ones you remember. Cup finals at the national stadium in front of 22,000 fellow Jambos. Regardless of the result, it’s the days out like these with your nearest and dearest that make being a Jambo such a special special privilege. We have been through some really shite times recently, but through it all I will always love my old man just that wee bit more for bringing me up a Jambo. I can’t wait to spend the day with him, my brother and sister tomorrow. Whatever happens, your son is lucky to be brought up a Jambo and he will realise that as he gets older. I hope to see you and your lad on the streets of Gorgie tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we do the unthinkable tomorrow, we won’t be hard to spot. We’ll all be in retro hearts tops and I’ll be propping up the old fella as he’ll have likely had a few too many Stella’s.

jambopilms Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Not anywhere near as nervous as the semi, probablly because I expecting a comfortable Rangers win.

1953 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just about to leave and I'm not up for this at all. I expected a doing from Celtic in 2019 and 2020 and we so nearly won it both times so you never can tell how it's going to pan out. One things for sure. The victories are so good that there's no way I'd miss a final....just in case this is the one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Jambo Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 In 98 I had zero expectations after what had happened in the two previous finals so no nerves. In 2006 I was nervous because it would have been such a missed opportunity to lose to Gretna and we would forever be tainted by the level of upset. In 2012 I couldn’t eat or sleep. If we had lost that it would have been unthinkable. Today, no nerves. Rangers are a very good side who will be hurting after Wednesday. We will have to be at our best to win this and they need an off day. I just hope we fly out the traps and see how much energy they have in their legs.

Hansel Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I'm very calm compared to the Derby semi.
