The wee gadgey with the pork pie hat is getting some amount of lines lately

Finally for now - I'm sceptical whether these actually are photos from the game in question but they appear in articles about it.
Fog of "pea-souper" proportions proves no barrier to the Edinburgh derby on 1st January 1940.
As was traditional Hibs & Hearts met on New Year's Day 1940: on this occasion in the SFL Eastern Division introduced in response to the war emergency.
Despite visibility reduced to 10 feet the match got underway with 14,000 supporters in the ground (and presumably hoping for plenty of action down the wings). More worryingly for the authorities the game was scheduled for live radio broadcast - and so ditching the coverage would have alerted the Luftwaffe to ideal conditions over Edinburgh and the Forth. A chain of runners was setup from pitchside to the commentary box to relay information to the commentator, but this proved futile as barely anything could be seen from the touchline either.
Accordingly the intrepid journalist simply invented the action, and regaled his listeners with 90 minutes of acrobatic shots, wonder saves, astonishing tackles and spectacular goals.
Truth can be stranger than fiction - the real-life game finished Hibs 5-6 Hearts, and should by all accounts rank as one of the great Edinburgh derbies. Rather unfortunate no-one saw anything of it.
Incidents included the ref blowing for HT 2mins early, one of the 'keepers being left on the pitch at FT, and it taking some fans 10mins to discover the game was over.
Commentator himself carried-on for 15mins before realising.
Truly another era.
Well somebody's telling lies somewhere along the line

Reckon he'll ever play for you lot again?
It's like Gary Locke & Gary Wales all over again. Cracking young player with huge potential and sell on value gets crocked only to return as a shadow of his former self0 -

I asked my Jambo mate the other day what he wanted for Christmas and he says he'd like world peace and to one day see Hearts win the league cup
He'll just have to be happy and settle for world peace I reckon-1 -
Thankfully the UK voted as a whole for Brexit. Now we can enforce the three foreigner rule without meddling from Brussels greeting about human rights pish then we can play some of the youngsters in the first team of their prospective clubs
When clubs have been forced to do this in the past they've produced some decent players
Hibs: Brown, Thomson, Riordan, O'Connor, Whittaker and latterly Fletcher made a few appearances
Motherwell: McFadden, Pearson, Hammell and correct me if I'm wrong Keith Lasley
Hearts: Patterson, Walker and Nicholson
All apart from Lasley have played at international level. Walker and Nicholsons time will come very soon I'm sure-1 -
Lewis Stevenson has won twice as many trophies for Hibs than Cathro has won games for Hearts

It's all hypothetical, would you love to beat your rivals in a cup final? Of course you would.
Would I change beating Rangers the way we did for a crack at Hearts? Not a chance.
The fact we put them out in a money spinner on the way to winning it against Rangers makes it even sweeter.
FTFY

I've been meaning to ask the Hibs supporters this for a few weeks. Do you actually mean that?
In other words, would you rather have won the cup the way you actually did, or would you prefer to have beaten Hearts a few years ago? Serious question, I'm not trying to make a point or anything, I'm genuinely curious.
That's a funny question that will have been debated in pubs all over Leith. Obviously beating Hearts to end 110 years would have been good. But beating Rangers with statically the worst Hibs team in history, add in the Ross County and Falkirk games it all added to the joy of winning. The relationship between Hibs and Rangers has always been edgy but since 2014 when we were competing with them and beating them all the time it really ramped up the rivalry
The fact that we were 2-1 down with a few minutes left then I think there was no better way to win the cup. I'm taking nothing away from the 5-1 game but from early doors the final outcome was never going to be in doubt.
Hearts also never had 100+ years or #HeartsedIt rammed down there throats
Don't let anyone fool you though, the pitch invasion, the goals and the wee bits of turf were brilliant. The folk fighting were out of order and should be dealt with accordingly. The pitch invasion would almost certainly have happened but it was inevitable after a dramatic late winner
For me though that is as good as it will ever be being a Hibs fan. The way it all panned out will never be beaten. If Hibs were ever to go on and win the Premiership then it would be a slow build up whereas as we were dead and buried with a few minutes to go. We could give Hearts another 6-2 or 0-7 in a final and for it will never beat 21/5/16. It's like a few older guys I know who support Hearts they prefer the 98 final as they'd waited so long
Hibs will win the cup again in the 10years I'm sure of it
