As the saying goes, 'You've got be in it to win it' and I'll also be there with friends and family members hoping for that rare victory but it's an outing that everyone will be looking forward to and with no great expectation of success TBF! Sadly Hibs FC has done a lotta damage down the years to any optimism we ever had! But we'll still be there to proffer our support and display it, together with the massed ranks of other hibees, as enthusiastically as ever in front of a world audience. How I'd luv to play for Hibs in this kinda match!! It's what footie is all about and a dream come true for good hibees like Darren Mac and Paul Hanlon! If Stokes does play, I hope he 'gets the finger oot' when it comes to goal-scoring as he's another one who 'let the side down' in the play-off semi-final - cannae head a baw and cannae take a decent one on one scoring opp! However, I suspect he will be 'busting a gut' against a team who he'll be hugely motivated to beat for obvious reasons. Lastly, I wonder who the Glesca mafia/media are gonna target in the final days leading up to the final! Some bizarre conjured up story re Stubbsy or Stokesy to 'stir it up'? I say get on with the job in hand and forget the 'cheap chat' (keep that stuff down to a bare minimum!). FACTA NON VERBA
