We were seated there aswell, great view but felt it was lacking atmosphere. I shouted and got a few looks from the folk around me. I never shouted anything that was controversial or offensive either.

We did not have a huge crowd , but the atmosphere towards the end was electric . The club are far more proactive in trying to sell itself nowadays , and the final total for this tie will be impressive . I predict we will sell more than 20 thousand Some game that. Maybe the wildest celebration when Beattie scored - the wait from the pen award to it being taken was insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be because I was 12 or 13 but when we scored in the early nineties ( 92 ? ) semi vs Rangers at the old Parkhead , that was the wildest celebration I can ever remember , never known a surge like that and it was such a steep terrace too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fantastic day. My brother and I started of in the Rangers end ( other brothers fault) and we're swiftly rescued after the penalty went in. Dragged to safety over the fence then told to **** off and find somewhere to sit. Great day,never bettered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND Rangers weren't awarded a penalty in the last minutes, which they would be now. Edit. Ignore me Sooks just reread you post! Opinions. But 98 for me.

I was 19 in 1998 I was 27 in 2006 I was 33 in 2012 I was seven in my first season and was at Dens on the final day with my Dad I was born in April so would have just turned these ages . I sometimes get my age out by a year when I think back but I was born in 1979 You are correct though I think . I think the my ages at the time play a part in , why these games are in the order they are for me . In fact 1986 was probably my favourite season despite the ending , and that is probably because of my age and it being my first season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveandal Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Has to be an age thing but nothing will surpass 1998. I still get tingles thinking of it. The bus back from Celtic Park... People on the streets welcoming back fans far less the team.... the players on top on the coach as I sipped a warm can of Tennants. All the years of hurt... the pure release of pleasure and beating a Rangers team that had dominated Scottish football for a decade. 98 might never be surpassed......... Unless we win it this year beating Rangers and Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the feeling of 'here we go, everyone can see a Celtic winner coming'. To the bedlam of our penalty and the agonising wait for the FT whistle. All this knowing it was the vermin waiting in the final, and every single Hibs ***** on the planet in that moment was shiting it. Glorious.

Philfigo Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Hope everyone's behaviour is good as with alot of local community junior clubs getting tickets via the Big Hearts Community fundraising there are going to be some that have never been to a match or do not support Hearts so people will need to lay off the abuse if they are not jumping for joy. Hopefully there will be a few more Jambos created on the day by some that are attending for thr 1st time.

Complete opposite from me mate, bricking it during the last 20 minutes of the semi. Was so confident we'd beat Hibs, think we'd done them 3 times that season already, queue the famous Paulo quote!

dc-jambo Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 But am wondering- how come we held back the posh seats, this time? Am thinking the financial agreement with the SFA must have encouraged this. For example, we agreed to recompense them at a flat rate, as an average of concessions, adults, cheap seat and dear ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 2 hours ago, Lone Striker said: Yeah, agree with that. We'd never beaten Rangers under JJ, and so didn't expect to in the Cup Final either - until a tiny wee glimmer of hope emerged when the news broke that ALbertz & Gazza wouldn't be playing. In 2012, we expected to win .... with just that tiny wee bit trepidation that we might not. 😏 We beat them 3 nothing away when Allan Johnson scored a HT in January and 2-0 in April 96 too under JJ.
