The main objective achieved - WE ARE IN THAT SCOTTISH CUP FINAL AND IN IT TO WIN IT!
I must say the game played out more or less what I expected and Macey untroubled throughout this match. Hibs 1st goal definitely the all important one and Irvine did great to set up Kevin Nisbet who scored a vg opening goal to give Hibs some comfort to confidently push on to them. The second goal by Doidgy well-taken (and what a great inter-changing move to set it up!!) but definitely offside - I'll take it after some really dodgy ref decisions against us in previous matches like this one and I'm not just referring to cup matches during this season. One must also mention ref Madden's decision not to allow an advantage for Doidgy to play on and score after Boyly fouled just outside their pen box after a great run. Anyway, no damage done and good to see Hallberg well up for this match - my MOTM.
Lastly, I must say what a great pity that Hibs legions and legions of fans cannot converge on Hampden Park in two weeks time to literally take over the stadium with our famous Scot footie anthem "Sunshine on Leith" absolutely booming out from those fans and captivating a huge audience - a great disappointment and a great loss to this end of season spectacle!
