I guess you can say that it's typical Hibs. As soon as things start going well for us, it isn't long until we are brought back down to earth with a bump. After the glory of the cup win 2 weeks ago, the Hibs board made the school boy error of organising a parade of the cup after their next game. This just happened to be against our rivals Hearts. If there is one thing you can guarantee then it is that Hearts will be going all out to spoil the Hibs party and so it proved. Despite it being the most negative performance from a Hearts team (timewasting from kick off, niggly fouls, kicks off the ball) they somehow managed to scramble a late goal to win 1-0. Unsurprisingly I wasn't really in the mood for celebrating after that so didn't bother sticking around for the cup parade.
Hibs only have themselves to blame though. We should never have decided to parade the cup after the derby and the performance on the day wasn't good enough. We had lots of play and possession but everything fell apart in the final third.
We will just have to concentrate on the Scottish cup now to try and get a cup double.
