Yeah, same guy scored from halfway to Leith against us last week!

Yes, thanks for the literal interpretation SD.

Funny thing is, I actually realised he'd played football before and wasn't being entirely serious, in order to make a point of sorts. 

It's a thing people sometimes do.  Look out for it.

I honestly don’t know why players don’t put their laces through it when facing pressure like that. Invariably it is that half hearted side foot placed shot where it ends in disaster time after time in shootouts. It’s like deceleration in the golf swing.

This, this and this. You’re a goal up in a shoot-out. Put your laces through it and get it on target. If the keeper gets lucky it’s not your fault. If he’s doesn’t, you’ve pretty much won the cup.

Is it worth mentioning that Hibs are the last Edinburgh club to win both the Scottish and League cups?

Too soon?

Absolutely not.  The league cup is the one Hearts are still in or not still in? I don't recall.

Well, well. Hearts the better team from 46mins on. Celtic only cruised first half as we were so slow and defensive. Two Berra calamaties gave Celtic the cup, otherwise we'd have won that in 90mins.

Overall though no shame.

Halliday redeemed himself somewhat in second half as did White. Walker is either good or invisible. Halkett needs to improve his speed. Berra needs punted.

Should be neither. Every player in a cup final should have one well-practiced penalty drilled into them - with those likely to take one in normal time having two. What amazed me about Wighton's is that his body is so far rotated to his right that it was extremely unlikely he was putting the ball anywhere other than that side. He telegraphed it. There's no way you hit a penalty like that if you've seriously practiced it.

It reflects badly on both the player and the staff.
