Scenario I want is 0-0 till we score in the 99th minute and the ref blows for full time

If we score in the 99th minute the ref will add on 10mins for our celebrations

Couple of rows of fairly decent seats appeared in I5 in the south stand.

Or Crystal Palace on Jamaica St. 

Both your typical big boozers.

Personally, I’ll go to the Imperial Bar on Howard St. I like my old style boozers over these big corporate things !

Plenty boozers to pick from. I’d stay away from Hope St though. 

 

 

I drank in the Scotia before the game on Sunday, apparently the oldest pub in Glasgow. Really good place

Who would you prefer in the final ? Hibs for me . Obviously when they are playing the Sheep I will be wanting them to lose , but if I could choose a final opponent it would always them and their biscuit arses

Aberdeen. Doesn't get much better than beating (destroying) Hibs to win a cup but I'm not sure my nerves could take it again. Plus I'd love to see us lift a trophy in our 150th anniversary white away kit and that presumably could only happen if we play Eberdeen.

I'd also like Aberdeen. Before I croak it, I'd like us to beat Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and Aberdeen in a final. We were a penalty kick away from making it three out of four. 

[neilnunb]

I'd want Aberdeen in the final. Absolutely want to see us smash them in a final one of these days. Still bitter from 86. 😁

 

Plus they play Frankfurt on the Thursday before the final so hopefully they've been given the runaround.

 

However, I think Hibs will beat them. And then of course, there's our game... 😐

[Sir PH]

A bit strange that the bookies have Hibs as favourites after the midweek results. I can see it going all the way.

Yep no point in thinking about the final unless we can beat the bigoted juggernaut and the SFA.

I bow to your superior knowledge of Rangers haunts ... but ...

 

... If Govan ain't a Rangers heartland, is Gorgie not a Hearts heartland either?

 

I can only go on my own experiences.

Every area in Glasgow is mixed but Govan isn't thought of as overwhelmingly Rangers, just like Parkhead isn't filled with Celtic fans. It's only really the South side of Glasgow where there is a bit of a divide in the areas but it's all still pretty mixed.

True of the city of course , just like Edinburgh and our rivalry . Outside of the city though There are towns and villages that are predominantly Hun or Tim . Sadly the reason why Scotland is a bit socially and culturally embarrassing if you take foreign friends or relatives anywhere outside of Edinburgh most times

H1b5 will be 2-0 up at half-time ...

 

... and lose 2-4 ...

 

But ... can you even imagine should it be an unlikely Edinburgh 🏆 Final?

Yup, I've already been corrected as regards that. I suppose I've been guilty of not being tuned in.

 

Gonna digress ...

 

See on Sun? I honestly saw no Rangers fans in the centre of Glasgow, although they must've been hanging out somewhere.

 

On the bus from central Glasgow there were but two Rangers fans picked up en-route. But, within 2 mins of alighting there were thousands of Rangers fans and countless buses ... hence my previous post.

 

Anyhoo, I made the mistake of thinking that Govan was a total Rangers stronghold. Hardly surprising! 😁

 

Also, honestly? Never a problem in Glasgow either pre-match or post-match in games v Rangers. As usual, some folks want to paint a picture of Rangers fans as being 100% 'Der Hun Bampots', but all I saw were normal fans with their kids. Several individual Hearts fans approached the stadium same direction as myself with no issues.

 

The Rangers fans I engaged with were a good laugh.

 

Oops! Have to do some cooking now. 👨‍🍳

It definitely will. It did in 2012. 
 

Hibs win Saturday, we’re winning Sunday for me. 
 

And we know what happens after that😀♥️

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

The Sheep would be much preferable, they have a stack of games, including one on the Thursday before the final against Eintracht Frankfurt, which would be some sort of weird link to the last time we played a final. 

 

I dont think its something we need worry too much about, unless we are rewriting history, something I dont remember too much in my 40 odd years of Hearts

Think the divide in Glasgow is a lot different to Edinburgh.

But boundaries have blurred in the old strongholds .

East end is traditionally Celtic but they have Bridgeton a spit away from Darkhead .

You don't get much more Billyboy than Brigton

Masochist  I can't deal with that level of stress again, bad enough when it's a semi final. Seen us beat them 4 times out of 4 in semis & finals now, if Stephen Kingsley is the last person to ever score the winner in a Hampden Edinburgh derby I'm alright with it.

[jambo_No5]

Any recommendations on where to watch the game in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote?

Plus Dennistoun as well just north of the ground. Round about Duke Street train station is full of Rangers boozers, Celtic Park is that close you'll see it from the tenement flats.

At least I would not have to worry about the players not turning up though

Plenty bars down the front. Sure some will have it on. Places like Shenanigans. I like the Rendezvous and sure they'd put it on for you in there. Enjoy. 

 

Maybe avoid Bluebells!

Weirdly they seem to suggesting that Hearts and Rangers fans are going to queue together in Central so not sure if they are just directing all fans out to Mount Florida. Kings Park is the right side of the stadium for our end but it is a bit further away.

Best parking options lids? I'm travelling to the game by car.
