I am sure you have many great Scottish Cup final memories. For me the best was Airdrieonians, twice. My earliest memory of attending a final was the 1975 win, Kenny Dalglish, Paul Wilson and Pat McCluskey. Watched big Billy and Jinky emerge from Hampden with the trophy after the game.
Then, of course, there was that huge final in 1995. Six years without a trophy, Celtic were at their lowest point in decades and had already lost a final to Raith Rovers that season. Beating Airdrieonians in that final is one of the most important victories in Celtic history.
By any measure, apart from Scottish Cups, Hibs are the fifth biggest team in Scotland, yet they haven’t won the Cup in 110 years. Since then the Wright brothers headed to Kitty Hawk and tried to get ‘Flyer’ off the ground for the first time in history and Teddy Rosevelt made history by becoming the first US president to ride in a motor car.
If they can pull a good 90 minutes together today, Hibs might become the first club in Scottish footballs’ rebirth. They have reclaimed thousands of fans in recent weeks and are proof that there is life outside Glasgow.
Good luck to them.

Good morning internet bampots. Have just opened the rangers advent calendar this morning. Behind todays window, courtesy of the sunday mail, charles green says he’s nanny mcphee.
You really couldn’t make this stuff up.

I have an ambition to be so completely divorced from reality:
“Left over rfff money
Once the takeover happens what is going to happen to the left over money if there is any? Im sure I read somewhere that some of it us being used to relay the pitch?
One thing I think would be nice to do if the money is going to be used on the stadium us have goal nets made similar to the hsv hamburg ones but with the rangers crest printed onto them. “
Thanks lads :-)
@Iaon1967: Another cop? http://t.co/J3CDQcFt
PCworld right enough :-)
Joining the Green Knights – Ernesto ‘Boom Boom Linguini, of the Caprese crime family- sorry, of the Caprese import-export business.
Bring on the Norwich….
So the big showcase final turned out not to be too much of a spectacle. Bayern had much of the play but once again it goes to show that when you are on top you need to get goals. Chelsea played it like an away game and the plan worked for them in the end.
Still, back to the important matters. Have we signed anyone yet?
Also joining the Green Knights – Nobby ‘Big Neep’ Skinflats and his brother Bobby’ wee neep’ Skinflats, of the Cowdenbeath turnip dynasty.
Morning all
Anybody coming to Norwich?
Were having a daytime party in the Temple Bar(opposite Norwich Catholic Cathedral) Everybody welcome especially any fine CQNer’s

I actually felt Chelsea were FORCED to play defensively for much of the game….don’t think it was tactical ……. I really enjoyed the game / occasion , and thought the difference was endurance in the end….Bayern seemed to tire late on…
A travesty of justice in Munich last night
An “anti football” side are now considered the Champions of Europe
Very bad news for Spurs also. Expect Bale + Modric to lead the exodus
And don’t be surprised to see Redknapp jump ship, possibly to Chelsea
When the going gets tough, ol’ Harry does do walking away
Got to say that it would have been a more entertaining game if it had been Madrid and Barca. The quality was low. Lot’s of disappointments particularlly in Bayern Munich shirts.

Ole Chelsea were pushed back further than Arjen’s hairline.
Their name was on it, from when Messi hit the bar, in the semi.
Can anyone remember what Petr Cech looks like without a Helmet?

Kitalba @ 6.35 – sensational article which lays bare a few myths. Thanks for sharing.
What a pathetic Country we live in……disgraceful
He is some goalie, oor Petr Chec
Kitalba cracking article mate.
TBH I didn’t know quite a few things in that article so thanks for educating me.
BSR
Think he looks like Will Ferrell with the helmet on!
How many games last season were posters saying “win ugly” if necessary, just win.
Just what Chelsea did.
Oh, and by the way, I wish ole Dessy Bhoy would spend a good few bob on us.
What’s not to like?
if Petr took his ole helmet off his hair would spring up like Mo’s, but obviously not as good.

Said the same thing to my wife last night – ‘Does he never take the thing off?’
Me saying – ‘I canna remember what he looks like without it.’
Cue us watching him being interviewed, and he’s loosened the strap, shouting ‘Take it off. take it off!’
But he didn’t. Maybe it’s grafted on. By order of Abramovich and his spooky looking son…

Coming on board with the Green knights- Myrtle Beach tittie bar tycoon Billy Bob ‘Bubba’ zu Sayn -Wittgenstein.

Morning Bhoys from a gloriously sunny Hamilton.
Very proud father after my youngest received the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time yesterday.
A lovely, memorable day for the family and the weans delighted that she raised enough to buy herself a Nintendo3Ds :-)))
Didn’t get to see any of yesterday’s football but had a horrible feeling that the London huns were going to win it. Sometimes your destiny is pre determined.

Ah, the zu Sayn-Wittgenstein’s – New money. I would think an institution would balk at the idea of money without provenance – I mean where would the dignity be in new money?

Congrats to the wee one.
Maybe the Londoners and Hearts victories was a Yang to our Ying thing?

Ole Roman was dressed like Steptoe last night, the richer you are…
Is RTC having a wee rest ?
Why is John Terry in the team picture with his strip on?
I wonder how Lee Wallace felt yesterday? Never mind son I’m sure your old pals will show you their medals.
Throwing his hat in with the Green knights- Ballymena drug kingpin and all round sociopath Norbert ‘Nutty’ Nutkins.
I think they’ll give the job to ole Di Watteo now.

The Brigton Butcher and the Big Hoose Guy must join the Green Knights or they’ll have no credibility with the peepil.
“That’s the moment when the accountant walks in my office with the balance sheet and says ‘Charles, we have all these assets and no debt – and here’s the bank statement with a pile of cash in the bank’.

Unless he’s actually Keyser Soze?
Then me is worried…
Ibrahamovic’s cardigan had more holes than Charles Green’s consortium.
He’s named two, but doesn’t know who the others are?
What about West Ham …… They were the Engish team I liked when I was young
Bourne ……….l did you mean to say ABRAMOVICH …….LOL
Summer arrives in Glasgow, one week after the ole Gazebo was ver near blown away.
