1971fozzy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Really looking forward to the day. Train, meeting mates , pubs then the walk to the ground and seeing 20,000 fellow jambos. Gamewise I’ve no idea what to expect. Just don’t concede early as that flattens the crowd.. nothing better than being in that sea of maroon with fellow jambos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I don't think Hearts have beaten Rangers at Hampden in my lifetime. I've still got PTSD from the 96 cup final when I was like 8 or 9. Brutal. How do I feel? No different than normal, expecting what has always happens - us to shit the bed by the time we get to Harthill. 🤷🏻♂️ There's no precedent for me to feel any other way and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Gordons left glove Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 First time I would wish I could fast forward to time to get to match day even if my gut says we'll get beat.

The White Cockade Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 did I read that we have never beaten them at Hampden? Horrific stat if that’s true No reason we can’t win on Sunday but i’ll be going into the game my usual pessimistic self Delighted if we make the final but not very surprised if we don’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRiot Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Rangers will magically find their form even though they have been crap for weeks. We won’t play anywhere near the levels we can and likely lose by 2 or 3. Going with hope though, we need to beat them sometime there right?

N Lincs Jambo Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Last semi I missed at Hampden was 2012 (2020 excepted for obvious reasons) and we won that completely unexpectedly. In a way we had to win that one given who had won the previous day but I'm cautiously optimistic about tomorrow. Having said that a few weeks ago I was posting on JKB that Rangers would scoosh the title as Celtic had imploded. Just shows I know diddly squat about football. All said and done c'mon the Jy Tees and FTH (uns). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCant Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 We have to fancy ourselves a wee bit here. However we know if they turn up in any sort of form above the level they’ve been at recently, they’ll beat us, probably convincingly If there was ever a game you’d want to come right out the blocks and score first, this is it. Don’t let them settle. Get the crowd on their back. Expose Goldson because he’s having a mare just now, and for gods sake, no daft defensive mistakes.

Vlad Magic Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I’m completely relaxed about it. Amazing if we win and disappointed if we lose obviously. However. For me the overwhelming thought is this is just one semi in what hopefully and more importantly SHOULD be a yearly event. Semis and finals should be achieved every year moving forward.

A Scottish Cup win would eclipse the 3rd place finish and the group euro football for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatsd Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I’ve been cautiously optimistic up until this morning. I was out for my morning run up around Dunfermline and as I was passing Amazon I saw another runner heading towards me…… It was Colin Cameron. We exchanged thumbs up as we passed each other. It was at this moment my cautious optimism turned into absolute certainty. This sign surely means we are winning this tomorrow. Let’s get this done.

FerryJambo81 Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Moving to cautiously optimistic, tempered with reality of so many failed attempts. Let's just make sure each and everyone of us who can make it, turn up in full voice. Not saying we will, but imagine winning THE cup with no games at Tynie and beating both halves off the uglies across semi and final. 1998 will always be the most special, purely after such a hiatus without silverware. This could be up there when looking at the 'journey' in recent years. Make it so Hearts, make it so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke1874 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 When the draw was made I'd have preferred Aberdeen obviously. But after rangers recent form I'm starting to believe, altho it could be the Saturday beers kicking in! It will be tough and we are underdogs here but the main thing is we'll have a huge support thru there and surely we're due a win against them. There's also the element of pressure. They're expected to win and also falling behind celtic in the league heaps more pressure on them. Let's make some noise and support the team. It's been a very good season so far and ya never know we might just do it. Mon the Hearts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Not optimistic. But seeing Aberdeen take 3 goals off Celtic should give our boys belief. The OF are not superhuman. They can be beat. So it's up to us to believe in ourselves and go and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're (I'll bet) a largely superstitious bunch, funny game like that is football. If you were to sum up your thoughts on Sunday, how would you? Not about tactics, personal or such like, just your gut? I'm an eternal pessimistic on these things, 40 years of watching Hearts will do that. Seen so many times we've went into games against them thinking we will, only for the team to roll over. Am I confident, never. Do I have a 'wee feeling'....aye. Is it blind faith, possibly, do I think this might just be the hoodoo breaker, yes! 'Mon the famous, let's ****ing do this... More an attempt at a thread for where folks heads at rather than how we approach etc. Rare does a game grab me for days in the lead up, this one sure as hell has You’ve summed up how I feel, had a few lucky omens so far so lets hope that this is our time, Its these days that we keep going for.
