[Football] Hibernian

[Change at Barnham]

It's the Scottish Cup Final north of the border and our new partners Hibernian face St.Johnstone at Hampden Park.
The winners will upgrade their place in next season's new Europa Conference League to the Europa League qualifiers.

Kick-off is at 2pm and it can be watched on BBC One Scotland (Sky 977).

(Hopefully we'll be walking 500 Miles for a pre-season friendly at Easter Road and afterwards walking 500 more, just to be the.....)

Good luck to The Hibees!

I really hope the Hibees win today. The journey to break the grip of the Old Firm on Scottish football is alive and well led by our new friends and allies at Hibernian.

It will be fantastic to follow their Europa progress next season.

I DO love a Bukta kit

When I was based in Rosyth I used to go and watch either Hibbies, the Jambos, or occasionally, Dunfermline. The one thing all 3 clubs had in common was a near visceral hatred of the Old Firm clubs.

So technically we could, by association, be on course to win our first major trophy since this wee banger back in the day:

 

[Swansman]

I wonder if they are talking half as much about Brighton as we are talking about them here.

Not a complaint, I kind of like it. Go Hibernian!

 

[Sussexscots]

Go Hibs! Get the job done today.

Come on the mighty Hibs [emoji123]

I like this lot already:

Brighton have probably been the most unlucky side in England this season. They have consistently played well, being really positive in a lot of areas in terms of stats like xG. Now, obviously these things must be taken with a pinch of salt, only stat that matters is the score etc. but if Brighton play as well next season as they have this, they should be sitting comfortably mid table. Potter is a very good manager.

They dont score enough, but look at their goal difference compared to those above and below them. A decent striker grabbing 10 goals for this next season has them right up the league.

Come on the lads from Perth!

This was our kit under Mel Hopkins at Shoreham boys club circa 1981!

But they’re not playing Perth, they’re playing St Johnstone

They'll be celebrating on the streets of St Johnstone tonight if they win.

Love that sea of scarfs and shirts. Would love Albion to do something that helps us create similar blue and white scenes in the stands, give away or sell at cost Albion scarfs.

Which potential signings are we looking out for?

I've still got a blue and white scarf like those - left over from the 70s at The Goldstone!
