Dons_1988 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The Scottish Cup hasn't provided a lot of excitement this season, and the last 8 was pretty uninspiring, so this game could well be the highlight of this season's competition for the neutral.. given that the other semi and the final will probably be routine Celtic victories. Despite being an established championship club, Hibs have become a very good Cup side, and seem to be good at raising their game against better opposition. Aberdeen have been consistent this season in the league, though have ground out cup wins rather than done anything spectacular. Should be a great occasion, pretty much a full house with no oldfirm anywhere in sight. Hopefully BBC get this one, and sky get the other tie. You feel if aberdeen play at their best they will have too much for hibs, but if they're not on their game then the Cup spirit of the plucky hibees, along with a couple of decent attacking players, means they are more than capable of pulling off the win. Thank Christ an actual post about the game.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs, of course, have never shat it in a cup final and took a horsing... (And nae from a decent Celtic team either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingboots Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Enjoying this thread so far. A complete farce only a day after the draw. We've already had recent results and of course the running theme of attendances. It won't be long until someone copy and pastes the honours won of both clubs, the comparison of European records and the relegation and relegation's that never happened argument catches fire.

I'm more surprised that the Hibs fans are actually talking about Hibs rather than their beloved Celtic - their main team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is their glory years. They'll lose the semi, limp into the premiership, finish sixth next season, and return to shit crowds and being irrelevant. Aberdeen haven't been relevant for about 30 years. Not to mention being notorious bottlers since rangers died. 27 minutes ago, AberDon said: Hope your Dad made it out of the crowd unscathed.

williemillersmoustache Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 We simply have to beat hibs as we are the only ones with a hope of beating Celtic in the final, underdogs though we may be. The thought of Hibs celebrating at Hampden no matter which of their teams win the final gives me the proper boak as it should every decent football fan in Scotland. The green love-in has had it's amusing moments but you've jumped the shark now and it is about time we handed out a bit of knock-out competition telt to this yo-yo club.
