MTJ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hibs reminded me of our journey Hampden. Good to hear Fenlon using phrases like "lacking passion",thinks Hibs are in good hands, I'm expecting the much needed total clearout shortly. Scotland needs a competitive Hibs. Is it surprising they were lacking passion with wee mousey Fenlon running the ship? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainkev Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The same level of dignity that involves flicking a gesture towards the Hearts fans and his own players, getting sent to the stand, and then led away by police? Well he's claiming he never did it though ...Cue pictures suggesting otherwise. Still a decent interview afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Well done hearts. Deserved it. Tell you, what though, Craig Thompson is lucky that Hearts were well on top and always going to win. That penalty was an absolute disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs players have lacked passion for years b4 Fenlon came along, might need to have a total clearout on and off the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Just turned on BBC 1 and thought they were going to show the game again when Andrew Armstrong announced 'And now it's time for the Pointless Final' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Tell you, what though, Craig Thompson is lucky that Hearts were well on top and always going to win. That penalty was an absolute disgrace. He definitely looked towards his assistant before awarding it. It's possible that Thompson saw the shirt tug but was unsure if it was inside the area. Maybe the assistant made that call? Though you'd suspect the ref would generally be in a better position to judge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I saw him hand out the yellow card then it cut for a highlight, genuinely thought he'd forgotten it was a second yellow until i heard the roar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of a few seconds work to make the right decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaffenThinMint Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Brilliant stuff, although I could have murdered the Hearts defence for wasting time when they were 4-1 up with 30 minutes to go and the fans were calling for more. Skacel ought to have had a hat-trick if there was any justice, the man is just a legend - come on Vlad, get the wallet out, that man is worth ten players every time and you know it. Lovely to see Grainger getting on the score sheet after all he's done for the club this season, he's truly been an inspiration this year. Shame Suso didn't after playing a blinder all day long - he ought to have been kept on to the end. Lesson in dignity from Pat Fenlon, who unlike a certain manager I could mention took it on the chin, refused to get embroiled in any "whataboutery" nonsense over the penalty and apologised to the Hibs fans for their team not coming out of the traps today (although I'd say Griffiths and Prince William lookalike Doherty really gave it their all). Well done as well to those Hibs fans as well that stayed until the end. Feel a wee bit sorry for Kujabi, but he was the one that ought to have been substituted for Sproule, as you could see he was going to do something silly. Speaking of which... Worst goal celebration of all time by Darren Barr, but after scoring a historic goal in a historic cup final, he's not going to be caring!

ayrmad Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Fenlon brought 8 players in during the window, I'd say his stamp is firmly on the team already. I hardly think 8 players in at short notice to try and avoid them sinking can be classed as his stamp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooper Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) A truly awful display from Hibs. Disgraceful. Their supporters deserve better. At least when we lost to 9 men Rangers we had put in a decent shift despite the shocking end to the match. To watch your team stroll about in such a clueless manner in a Scottish Cup Final. Incredible. The Hibees will be desolate after that and no wonder. Edited May 19, 2012 by Drooper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) was it just me or has all the commentators, levien, pat ect just reconstructed history. As i saw it, it was an excellent first half which could have gone either way in the second, with the ref showing considerable bias to hearts in first. The whoe game was entirely ruined by a atrocious decision by the referee and from there on it was shite. A shocking dive from suso which he should have got booked for - noone mentioned this. Left back for hibs getting very softly booked for an accident, but two hearts tackles which were just as bad if not worse ignored. I went into the game wanting hearts to win and am still glad they did as it mean saints get into europe, but im confused how all the commentators, even pat fenlon seeing the game completely differently from me and coming away with a opposite impression. It does have to said however that they completely gave up after the fourth goal and 2 or 3 players just seemed to not care, particularly that right back, who is on loan from wolves. Does anyone agree with me or am i alone in my analysis? Edited May 19, 2012 by jojo -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
