This will be the second cup final in one season we have reached. The last one we lost to Ross County 2-1 and they scored in the last minute.... We were favourites..
But we are not favourites on Saturday and actually have not one this cup competition since the year 1902. We have been in 14 Scottish cup finals since and have lost every one...
There is actually urban legend going about. Let me explain, Hibernian (Hibs for short) were formed in 1875 by Irish immigrants who would get abuse from the Edinburgh locals so they created a football club called Hibernian, the Latin name for Ireland is HIBERNIA .. Any ways
The tale goes like this. We used to have an Irish harp on the stadium stand but removed it. A local Irish gypsey said unless you put it back, you will never win the Scottish cup again.... And you know what, I believe it... This year we put our badge on the stand again... That has an Irish harp on it... We also bet a team in the 4th round to reach the final and the last three teams who have previously won against this team (raith rovers) have gone on to reach the final and win the Scottish cup.. Scary no?
Why should I support Hibernian? Well I am from Edinburgh, I have lived here most of my life... Why would I not? Most people support Rangers or Celtic or an English team.. I have no interest in English football and I am not interested in Celtic or Rangers... I'm happy supporting my local team
Anyway wish us luck for Saturday! If we win I will get very fucking drunk and celebrate for two weeks straight...
