topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I doubt it will be a mere afterthought in all honesty , many people still wax lyrical about the Motherwell Scottish cup win in 1991 before I was even born . The win for hibs is their equivalent to your win against us in 1998 We've only just stopped mentioning Hibs even more impressive 1902 triumph against Celtic (at Parkhead) It may be that by the 22nd century the 2016 final will have taken on a similar mythic air.

I'd go as far to say that they might not beat us ever again. Surely you'll get promoted eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 2016 Scottish Cup Final is the obvious answer:The "Hibsing it" prelude culminating in the last minute play-off loss (which actually probably worked in their favour). The impending end of the Rangers banter years which would be put to bed as they gained promotion, lifted a major trophy and entered Europe.The human antithesis of all that Rangers stand for playing out of his skin after being shite for months and scoring an early goal in front of a Union Bears pyro backdrop.Alan Stubbs being subjected to a barrage of sectarian serenading and being told to "cheer up" following "Mr Rangers" Andy Halliday scoring a screamer.Stubbs subsequently cheering up significantly as Stokes equalises and Gray nods in the winner leading to utter pandemonium in the stands. The whole pitch invasion/goading/crossbar collapsing followed by a chorus of "Sunshine on Leith" in front of hundreds of police officers, horses and stewards was incredibly iconic in itself.Even the days that followed: the RFC statements which called out Tom English and Nicola Sturgeon, the bus parade and Hibs squad players getting bladdered in Leith for days on end etc.I don't doubt that thumping the dead carcass your rivals 5-1 in a once in a lifetime final would be a pleasurable experience but 2016 trumps 2012 every time.

RawB93 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 For the benefit of those of us that haven't seen the game who are you talking about Anthony Stokes I believe. Tbf seeing him reel away after scoring in front of the packed stand and flare smoke was indeed utterly cinematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I seeI was confused by the phrase "Human antithesis of all that Rangers stand for" possibly "mirror image" might have been the better phrase to express his oppositeness.

"Mirror image" would suggest that it was the same image reflected back in inverted form, as opposed to the polar opposite. I don't think that applies here.What part of the original phrase confused you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 For '2016 destroyed Rangers' (who sit second in the Premiership) see '2012 killed Hibs as a club'. Wee diddy club fans needing Hibs to get one over Rangers. Think I'll go and deek some of the Hibs bois pre-match 'biggest ever' and 'this is the way it was meant to end' comments from the 2012 thread.

Knock yourself out. No one will give a single solitary f**k tbh. 2012 might have "won" had Hearts not fannied about for most of the second half. Avenging your most infamous result by the same margin in a cup final would have indeed been utter scenes, but they missed that once in a lifetime chance. 2016 is far superior.
