One of the most entertaining games I've seen for a while. Very open. Not sure the defending will win any awards but who cares?

They have won the Scottish Cup, last time was 1902, the Boer War was just coming to an end.
The last side outwith the 'top League' to win the Cup was East Fife, back in the 1930's. Whoever wins today shall top East Fife's achievement.

Oh cheers... Thought it was never, still a long time for I suppose one of the top 8 clubs in the country historically...

No worries.
The Cups have been a bit of a 'monkey on the back' for Hibs fans, plenty of Finals, little success.

Cummings hasn't done a single thing right for 60 minutes. Commentator (BBC Scotland) says he is a goal threat; not manure, but a goal threat?

Anthony Stokes was hitting those kinds of shots on target in the first half.

Hibs might have shot their bolt here.

On the other hand...

Tell you what, Tavernier may be good at getting down the flank and putting crosses in but he's awful in his proper defensive role of being a left back.

I was just about to bad mouth Stokes' final ball as I did after 20 or so minutes of the first half and he powers in his second! I really wasn't expecting to be so wonderfully entertained as I have been by this match.

Wow, ten Scottish Cup Final defeats in a row for Hibs. For that reason alone, I'm gunning for a Hibs winner here. They have created more to be fair.

Well I guess it's long overdue for Hibs.
Cracking final, well done.
