Well done Falkirk! 
We all knew Houston's game plan - park the bus, hold out for an hour and try to nick the sucker goal in the latter stages of the game - it worked a treat again: no bother as Hibs did their usual self-destruct job - can't score the crucial goals that were there to be taken against a poor team but don't lose the sucker goal! Falkirk had 4-1 odds against them to win this semi-final and I took up that bet for once with £25 for a straight win - a good payback in a match that I just knew Hibs were gonna do their usual losing fling and so it came to pass. As for any play-off chance? Forget it! They have absolutely no bottle in big games and they've proved it often enough this season even against inferior opposition like Falkirk whose defence I fear will lose 4 or 5 goals to Celtic in the final if the hoops beat ICT tomorrow afternoon!
