Aye, but when they won the Champions League they had players from all over the world, rather than a stones throw from Parkhead. Clearly a tainted achievement.

I can't help but think they should outsource the funeral and have a private firm charge for entry to St Pauls etc

I'm not going to get into the pissing contest about whether Thatcher should be respected in death, or whether a few hundred dog on a shoe string commies represent 'the left' in Britian. I will however post what I consider to be some of the most erudite thoughts on Thatcher's approach, ironically from a Conservative...admittedly in the traditional 'one nation', rather than neo-libertarian mould: "It breaks my heart to see (I can't interfere or do anything at my age) what is happening in our country today - this terrible strike of the best men in the world, who beat the Kaiser's army and beat Hitler's army, and never gave in. Pointless, endless. We can't afford that kind of thing. And then this growing division which the noble Lord who has just spoken mentioned, of a comparatively prosperous south, and an ailing north and midlands. That can't go on." - Harold MacMillan

NAP - Not sure what its an abbreviation of but its used in horse racing listings to give the day's best bet. As for who's fans were better I thought they were both excellent while the game was still competitive. Arguing over it is an irrelevance though.

Just rolled into the house and to say I'm gutted would be an understatement. The final has been a coverup on a seriously crap season. I hope that the Jambos enjoy their day tomorrow. Despite some dodgy refereeing you were by far the better side in every area. Agree re: the managers. Sergio showed a lot of decorum. Fair play to both sides of fans too, have had texts from English mates about how impressive it looked and sounded. To my fellow Hibbies: have a drink, shag your bird and look forward. The only way is up.

I'm giving this info to my dad who's driving through http://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/glasgow_hampden_park/ might not be 100% accurate but should be a reasonable guide

Amphetamine and adrenaline.

watching curb your enthusiasm and trying to forget about tomorrow. Even Larry David's deadpan take on life isn't helping. My stomach is killing me and I'm flitting between fantasising about a win and dreading the draw. Anyone who said hearts have everything to lose/it matters more to then is a moron.

The only time he's come up against us in a cup final his motivational skills came to f**k all in fairness. Didn't help that he was more of a cripple than Ian Murray during his playing days

I think you may well be onto something here. Two flumps of the highest order!

Think you're right mate. However gay I think these sorts of thing are there's no denying the passion on both sides of the divide. We may hate each other but we can be proud of our derby. Thanks for the film info, will try and track it down for the train up tomorrow

what is it? Just an aside whenever I read a thread mentioning ranger I just think of renton in trainspotting saying "Mikey Forrestor, Russian sailors - what the f**k are you boys on about?!"

that is fucking brutal

Reckon Booth's missus looks a bit dead behind the eyes myself. Lets be fair though 99% of the blokes on here would throw themselves at either of them given half the chance, and aye I include myself in that!

good story that. The 'banter' in this thread is getting heinous. "yous are pish" "naw, yous are pish" "yous are pisher" "naw, yous are pisher"

The thing is how many Hibs fans have actually talked about the above? there are a few of the 'yam brigade' on hibs.net who might believe that bollocks but have you actually spoken to a non care in the community type who believes it? Most Hibbies I know will agree that the Jambos have a better side as weighted out in league performance but that in a cup final it is possible to get a result for a myriad of factors.

What odds did you get on the draw? Betfair have is at around 3/1

Never forget a hearts fan actually using the term 'special relationship' when talking about the Scottish Cup having won it twice in fifty years. Our record is pitiful but for all they go on about theres you'd have thought they were winning it every year.

Meant to highlight the degree of shared history between our clubs and the sporting nature of our rivalry. They hate us, we hate them but I can still understand where the jambos are coming from and respect them a lot more than the sort of huddies you get in dundee who use centuries of bigotry to justify their support for the **** or ****

You're not the only one fella. I've not spoken to my mates north of the border, or indeed anyone I know down here, about much else for the past week or so. Could be a very long week ahead

such a hearts legend about 8 of you turned up for his testimonial! Still must be dispiriting to see well known cup winner (ahem) Gary MacKay talking you down

http://www.scotsman.com/scotland-on-sunday/sport/derby-pioneers-how-hearts-helped-hibs-in-the-late-19th-century-1-2292020 Whatever happens I think this article helps sum up whats great about OUR rivalry

Look forward to it. I've submitted one to Sabotage Times but I think it might be a wee bit too biased for publication

And you actually believe that? Some of the 'banter' on this thread has been dreadful from both sides.
