Lost my Dad a couple of months ago and today is his birthday. Been saying since the semi that it was meant to be. Mon the fucking Dons!

Holy shit, we actually did it. With about 15 minutes to go I accepted we weren't going to win it. Couldn't see a goal coming, but was weirdly calm about it. Team had defended well apart from the goal, hadn't been embarrassed like everyone expected, but I just thought we didn't have enough to topple Celtic. And then we only went and fucking equalised, looked like we might even sneak a late winner, had huge chances in extra-time and looked a different team. The moment Maeda was one-on-one and Mitov saved, you felt the luck we never seem to have at Hampden against Celtic had finally arrived. Maybe luck the wrong word - more that you need the big moments to go your way and that was a sliding doors moment right there. Even penalties, I kept thinking it's the same end (different stadium I know) that we beat Caley and it'd go well for us. I fully expected that first penalty to be saved, was such an odd feeling, was like I was watching the 2014 League Cup final again. I went past Celtic Park on my way home, couldn't resist it. They were dismantling the stage they had built to welcome back the treble winners. Party cancelled, and strangely just pockets of Celtic fans wandering about, almost like they were unable to accept they had lost. Stayed sober today but I certainly won't be finishing it in that state.

Mitov is MOTM for me, he won us the cup three times - the save from Maeda, and the two penalty stops. But the fact we've all got different nominees says a lot about the team today, kudos to Thelin for finding the right strategy but by christ could we do that a bit earlier in the season next year please?

Group stages baby, Hibs have Hibsed finishing 3rd.

It means that 5th is a distant memory - we take the euro slot for 3rd in Hibs place.

Fucking tremendous day out. Brilliant performances all round and one helluva atmosphere at the end there.

We’ve re-signed Dave bus?

Change of tactics and formation worked. Congrats to jimmy for being brave.

6 million quid and guaranteed Europe to at least Christmas. and it screws up when Hibs enter the competition

And it fucking worked. 4 fantastic penalties.

McGregor in tears is delicious.

Big giant seagull taking a dump and it turns out to be a seat
