Scotland's capital is emptying... The cup final... The nerves. To MAP | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
-- two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Edinburgh, where | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
we lay Yelesina. From ancient grudge break into new mutiny, where | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
civil rivalry makes civil team's dream of what might be, from 4th | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
the city makes these two foes, a pair of star-crossed neighbours, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
whose Cup story is there for all to no and the continuance of their | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
followers' passion, which they end cannot remove. The shot! Is now the | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
90 minutes traffic of our stage, the Witch, with you -- if you with | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
patient ears and eyes shall attend, what you shall miss, our toil shall | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
strive to end, that final, the cup. The rivals. Never has an Edinburgh | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
derby mattered so much. To date at Hampden, a capital conclusion to | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
the Scottish Football season, the first meeting of Hibs and Hearts in | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the Scottish Cup final with 1896. With Pat Nevin and me is Sandy | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
Clark. That was an Edinburgh exodus with tens of thousands of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
supporters switching from east to west to take their place on the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
march but has been more than a century in the making. It was as | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
much can't lose as must win. And the commentary comes from Billy | :02:29. | :02:39. | |

-- four Hibernian and Hearts of He has been a colossus. They are | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
going to have a go. They are going to be tightened attack. Chris this | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
is in the corner, dangerous. Others why McPake is important. They will | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
want to get their hands on the trophy for the first time in a long | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
time. No Beattie in the starting line-up sex to the hamstring injury. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Templeton is is out. It is Skacel, who scored in the game against | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Gretna here in the final in 2006, before that was won on penalties. | :03:46. | :03:56. | |

third Edinburgh derby of the season. He is up to the European | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
Championship in Ukraine in a couple of weeks. Just listen to the noise | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
as Craig Thomson gets the William Hill Scottish Cup final under way. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
The true value of bragging rights is about to unfold in front of us, | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :05:07. | ||
this time there is a silver lining spoils. Paulo Sergio was a cool | :05:07. | :05:17. | |

:07:30. | :07:52. | ||
don't get the ball, there is only one outcome. The referee was left | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
with no option. Kujabi has to be careful now. Not the best of starts. | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
:08:09. | :08:42. | ||
The sun beginning to break through Skacel's challenge. Claros | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
:08:52. | :09:03. | ||
appealing for Rijkaard. -- for a O'Connor, he looks to the referee | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
more in hope than expectation. McPake does ever so well. For me, | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:19. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds | :09:19. | :10:00. | |
well on their way to glory. They could almost touch the Scottish Cup, | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
:10:10. | :10:19. | ||
they are that close to it now. That is the difference, he finds | :10:19. | :10:29. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds | :10:29. | :11:13. | |
the far corner. Hearts are in a chance, look at this. Watch | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
Kujabi. You want a decent ball and the gap, he gets slightly behind a,. | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
:11:31. | :12:00. | ||
-- slightly behind O'Connor. What a to see that again. Doherty, left | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
:12:10. | :12:10. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds | :12:10. | :13:05. | |
Stevenson getting forward, makes a decent connection. They will hang | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
:13:15. | :13:36. | ||
something! It's their skipper who gets it, McPake breeds new life | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:47. | ||
into the Scottish Cup final. Well and truly came on. It is crucial. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
They got out from the corner, eventually McPake gets a touch, | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:13. | ||
comes to Claros, shows composure, open. Well, it has been about the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
difference McPake has made at the other end of the park. He scores | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
his first two Bernier goal in the Cup final. -- his first Hibernian | :14:22. | :14:32. | |
:14:32. | :14:40. | ||
into a mini job -- minute of stoppage time. Not so easy, but he | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
will be happy with the weight the team has played. Sproule able to | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :15:27. | ||
would be a sensational level before are getting so much more of the | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
ball because they are running up against the time. What a first half | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
Darren Barr opened the scoring, Darren Barr opened the scoring, | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Skacel made it two. This is the opener from Darren Barr, stabbing | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
in from close range. That gave Hearts the lead. They looked | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
comfortable them. The former skipper of Falkirk opening the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
scoring and looked even more comfortable then. Skacel's | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
deflected goal of James McPake made it two. But then that paid made | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
amends because of his deflection which took it past Mark Brown. | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Knocking it past Jamie MacDonald. That is what is made in -- making | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
it interesting. James McPake has called Hibernian back into ring -- | :16:24. | :16:34. | |
:16:34. | :16:36. | ||
into it. Half time at the National Hampden Park this afternoon. A | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everybody to see Hibernian take on | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
:16:51. | :17:23. | ||
Hearts. Once in a century and once consultation with the linesman, but | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Hearts had a penalty at the start of the second half. Bad is a body | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
blow for Hibs. Griffiths does not do enough. And it is a red card! A | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
red card for Kujabi! Hibs hopes, having resurrected them before | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
half-time, but a second yellow or Kujabi. And has he goes up the | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
tunnel does he take the hopes of Hibs with him? Double jeopardy for | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
Hibernian. I think it is a harsh sending-off because it is not | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
intentional. A certain penalty, a clear opportunity, and a little | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
pool on the jersey, not just a clip. Hearts, a fantastic chance to go 3- | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:37. | ||
goal. On the occasion you want calmness and composure. He just | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
steps up and even if MacDonald goes the right way, he doesn't get it. A | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
great penalty from Danny Grainger. Hibernian with 10 men, it is a long | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
way back for them. Danny Grainger, he would have been heart of the | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
squad that would have played against Hearts in 2006 but it was | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
cruelly snatched away because of a loan spell at Brede in -- Brechin | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
City. But it could that be the crucial goal in the 2012 Scottish | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:20. | ||
men. It was funny watching the replays come through, Ian Black | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
didn't look at it. He faced away. Then Black started celebrating. | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
:19:39. | :19:40. | ||
Tugging the Jersey, that is why he unintentional clip on the heels. | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
:19:50. | :19:57. | ||
That is why Craig Thomson gives the second half for Hibs. The manager | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
has made the right changes and makes the right formation changes | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
and he realises that the momentum is going well, but suddenly there | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
is the penalty. The question I ask, where does Pat Nevin go from here - | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
:20:24. | :20:31. | ||
Ryan McGowan makes it four. Suddenly it is a rout. It is all | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
over. Again, Hibs switch-off. They are down to 10 men but you cannot | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
leave Skacel in the box. A little touch and then Abdel Bassset Ali | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :20:55. | ||
easy. A knock over the line with his head and it is game over for | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
Hibs. Ryan McGowan knocks the ball into the net. It is his third of | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
:21:11. | :21:19. | ||
the season also a two of them have exit, and the worst thing for them | :21:19. | :21:29. | |
:21:29. | :21:43. | ||
is that it could get a heck of a you suspect it will not finish at | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
four. You do not want to open it up more as a Hibs player but I think | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
it is damage limitation for the shout. Play it tight, compact, Nick | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
:22:04. | :22:13. | ||
Haig goal, but do not open up. -- act. Again, from the set-piece. I | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
know they are down to 10 men, but all day long they have lost goals | :22:17. | :22:27. | |
:22:27. | :22:32. | ||
Another yellow card. Not even a hard decision for Craig Thomson. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
You feel for Hibs. They got back in again, but Hearts have been rampant. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
You cannot legislate for Kujabi making that sort of challenge. | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
There is another one, they are getting frustrated. He picks up | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :23:30. | ||
quickly after the challenge. Let's have a look here. A little shove. | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
But he comes away the ball. This is what turned the game at the start | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
of the second half. The referee, right on the line, inside the box. | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
Grainger made it 3-1. And not too long after that, Hearts got the 4th. | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
:23:57. | :23:57. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds | :23:57. | :24:45. | |
is a five-star Hearts. Rudi Skacel's second. His 18th of the | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
season. And this is going to go into the annals of the Edinburgh | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
derby hammering us. Well, if he is going to bow out, what a way to bow | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
out. Suso Santana and Skacel do so well, shifting the ball. It goes | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
through the keeper's legs. There is no chance. Eclipse the inside the | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
post, and Rudi Skacel celebrates. - - eclipsed the inside. Rudi Skacel, | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
with 15 to go, and they have changed their mind about the change. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
It will be Suso Santana who goes off, not Stephen Elliott. Craig | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Beattie. The man who unlocked all the possibilities for the afternoon | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
was that man there, Craig Beattie. Listen to the applause for Craig | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
Beattie. He scored that penalty in injury time against injury -- | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Celtic in the semi-finals. George Francomb will replace Tom Soares. | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:06. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds | :26:06. | :26:49. | |
Hibs going very much through the have been. Stephen Elliott involved | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
with a final shot, but Craig Beattie into macro Skacel, and he's | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
:27:03. | :27:12. | ||
enjoying it. You see what he's know Skacel has the double, but he | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
started it, getting on the ball, when there was 11 on the pitch. A | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
lovely moment for this young lad. Good luck to him. A top player for | :27:20. | :27:30. | |
:27:30. | :27:40. | ||
us. Ian Black lives and breathes minute of the 90. And whatever | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
Craig Thomson wants to add on the end of that. He is going to speak | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
to Pat Fenlon. He has been sent to that a -- away from the technical | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
area. It has got word for -- was the Irishman. They can only be | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
frustration from Pat Fenlon. But for Hearts fans it is something | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
else for them to lap up. The run-in with Craig Thomson, that happened a | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
few weeks ago as well as a Hibs game. I don't think he was happy | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
with the appointment either. He now finds himself... He's he sent to | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
the stance? The policeman telling him to go up. He kept on giving | :28:21. | :28:31. | |
:28:31. | :28:35. | ||
in the opening moments of the match. He did fix it, but he never got a | :28:35. | :28:41. | |
chance to build on it. But after Kjaer beat sent off and he was 3-1 | :28:41. | :28:51. | |
:28:51. | :28:59. | ||
Hearts have won the cup. Edinburgh will be painted by room tonight. | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
Barr got the party started for the Gorgie side, the mother of all | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
Edinburgh derbies has been won by Heart of Midlothian. They have | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
filleted their great derby rivals on the biggest stage in this | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
country. Paulo Sergio guides Hearts to there eight Scottish Cup triumph | :29:20. | :29:29. | |
and second in six years. It finishes Hibs one, Hearts five. Ian | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
Black is trackside with Chris McLaughlin. -- congratulations. | :29:33. | :29:42. | |
Outstanding. The way the boys went about their business, brilliant. | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
They deserve every minute of it. What a scoreline, did you expect a | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
tough afternoon? We did, but we knew if we went about the business | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
the right way we could do it and the boys have been absolutely | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
unbelievable. What does that mean for these players and the manager, | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
do you say? Massive, we got past Celtic, we said let's go and do it. | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
The manager has kept as calm and cool. He told us to enjoy it, enjoy | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
the occasion. We went out there and did the business. You will enjoy | :30:12. | :30:19. | |
the occasion, well done. Thank you very much, thank you. Not an | :30:19. | :30:29. | |
:30:29. | :30:30. | ||
afternoon for Hearts. Brilliant. It has been a great game. Did you | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
expected to be tougher? You always expect a tough derby. It is never | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
easy. Sometimes you make it look easy but it is never easy. Well | :30:38. | :30:44. | |
done, enjoy the party. Thank you. It is a day these guys are not | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
going to forget, ever. It is the day the Hearts fans could only have | :30:48. | :30:56. | |
dreamt of. Not in several lifetimes has there been a cup final quite | :30:56. | :31:05. | |
like it, and Edinburgh derby Cup final which has been one, it in | :31:05. | :31:14. | |
1896 bike Heart of Midlothian. Paulo Sergio, he joins the | :31:14. | :31:21. | |
glitterati at Hearts. Where will his future be? Then name is etched | :31:21. | :31:29. | |
on to the oldest trophy in world football. There has to be a loser. | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
On Cup Final day. Today, it is to Bernier. The pain continues for | :31:34. | :31:42. | |
them. It will now stretching to 100 -- 111 years since they last won | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
the Scottish Cup. There dreams have been shattered as Hearts realise | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
there's. T Stekske Primary School - - Sproule, who won the League Cup | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
in two dozen and seven, Stevenson, who won in 2007, troop off as they | :31:58. | :32:08. | |
:32:08. | :32:12. | ||
It is the medals no one ever remembers. Heading straight at the | :32:12. | :32:22. | |
:32:22. | :32:27. | ||
tunnel, as well. A horrible feeling. The stage is set for Hearts and | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
Zaliukas to lift the Scottish Cup. He has dreamt about it at its media | :32:33. | :32:38. | |
-- he was asked if he had dreamt about it at its media conference | :32:38. | :32:45. | |
Antti replied that he had. He is about to realise it now. Now he | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
does make his way up, the Hearts skipper, leading the heroes in the | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
room. Never mind the more recent cup victories over Rangers in | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
Gretna, this is the one that will mean the most that -- to the people | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
:33:10. | :33:10. | ||
who came from that East, in the Zaliukas lifts the William Hill | :33:10. | :33:20. | |
:33:20. | :33:27. | ||
The 7-0 defeat in 73, the defeat in 2000, they have been trumped this | :33:27. | :33:33. | |
time. Andy Webster, who lifted the Cup, that same trophy, a couple of | :33:33. | :33:40. | |
seasons ago for Dundee United. McGowan, his family is here to | :33:40. | :33:49. | |
watch this. At close quarters. Beattie got them here with the late | :33:49. | :33:56. | |
penalty. Driver, misery for the last few years, he can put that to | :33:56. | :34:04. | |
bed now. Santander, a surprise start of the sun, but a special | :34:04. | :34:14. | |
:34:14. | :34:18. | ||
Man of the match. He played his part, brilliant all day. He got a | :34:18. | :34:28. | |
:34:28. | :34:28. | ||
couple of goals. Black will get a special cheer as well. That will be | :34:28. | :34:34. | |
and they Black family album very soon, that picture. Just before | :34:34. | :34:44. | |

Hearts, above Aberdeen in the pecking order, behind third place | :35:28. | :35:36. | |
Queen's Park. The Celtic have won this more than anyone. This means | :35:36. | :35:44. | |
as much if not more than at any other triumph in hearts' history. | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
They absolutely annihilated their great rivals at the National | :35:47. | :35:56. | |
Stadium. I am sure they could not have dreamt it would be such an | :35:56. | :36:06. | |
:36:06. | :36:08. | ||
emphatic manner as it has turned Congratulations, you look a very | :36:08. | :36:16. | |
happy man. Thank you very much. It finished the right way for some I | :36:16. | :36:22. | |
am pleased to we showed everybody, there is only one team in Edinburgh. | :36:22. | :36:27. | |
Fantastic scenes behind you. What does it mean to you? They deserve | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
it, big thanks to them. It was a tougher afternoon today. Yes. It | :36:32. | :36:37. | |

very happy to give them all that Tchoyi, the pride they can feel | :37:06. | :37:15. | |
:37:16. | :37:16. | ||
today. These are the days you what, the cup finals, it is more special, | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
today was massive for me and my family and my goal for my grandad, | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
who passed away. I noticed that T- shirt. Yes, definitely, I have not | :37:26. | :37:33. | |
been able to get over things but today it has been a massive day for | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
all of us, my friends and family travelled up from England to | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
supporters and my son is here as well which is great for him to look | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
back on in a few years' time. I am so happy for all the boys. Skacel | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
deserves all the credit he gets. He has been fantastic all season. A | :37:48. | :37:58. | |
:37:58. | :38:05. | ||
lot of boys are moving on but today A fantastic scene behind due today, | :38:05. | :38:13. | |
what an afternoon for Hearts. listen. It is a brilliant feeling. | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
You have been around this club for a long time, you have grown to love | :38:17. | :38:22. | |
this club. What does it mean to you personally? This will take the | :38:22. | :38:29. | |
place inside of me have and all the time I will come to this and watch | :38:29. | :38:34. | |
again, brilliant will start a very big party tonight? And tomorrow as | :38:34. | :38:44. | |
:38:44. | :38:49. | ||
Darren, can you quite believe you helped make this happen? I can, to | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
see the supporters is unbelievable. It is absolutely brilliant. What | :38:54. | :39:02. | |
was going through your head? I was getting my best back, I got a break | :39:02. | :39:10. | |
with the ball, it was my first goal, I was happy we came out in the | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
second half and started brightened got goals when we did. It is | :39:14. | :39:18. | |
something you dream of as a boy, scoring in a Scottish football | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
final? This is why you play football, this is what it is about. | :39:23. | :39:33. | |
:39:33. | :39:36. | ||
A congratulations. Thank you for stamp -- St Ewe. -- thank you. | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
the start of the season I was not involved in the first team and to | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
finish winning it is unbelievable. Your father came to watch it? | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
he surprised me during the week, they said they would not come over | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
but I got a phone call to say he was over, it is something I can't | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
put into words. A very proud moment. It is. We will have drinks tonight | :39:59. | :40:08. | |
to celebrate. Well done. Thank you very much. Hibs van Pat Nevin with | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
me in the studio, a former Hearts player and manager Sandy Clark as | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
well. Hearts went in as firm favourites but we could never have | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
expected that game to be that historic match, that it would and | :40:19. | :40:25. | |
been quite as an Fadiga win? think you were Hearts supporter, I | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
thought it would be tight, I really did, and at half-time -- and at | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
half-time were thought it would be interesting second half but when | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
you look back at the game the way Hearts started, their attitude | :40:36. | :40:43. | |
towards winning the ball and trying to have a good team, the manager | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
deserves credit and they were strong winners. If you want a | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
Hearts fan you were delighted but you feel for your opponents. It was | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
always painful going -- it was always going to be painful for the | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
losers, agony for Hibs. We were chatting before the game about it, | :41:00. | :41:06. | |
they turned up at the Celtic game, 6-1, the players did not turn up | :41:06. | :41:13. | |
for this one. But I don't, just before, how many players would you | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
have that would get a game for Hearts generally? Hearts were far | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
better. It needed Hearts to have a bad day and Hibs to have a good day | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
and the opposite happening. Barr's opening goal demonstrated that they | :41:28. | :41:38. | |
:41:38. | :41:43. | ||
loose ball, they get it. Barr, and delighted for him. He has not had | :41:43. | :41:49. | |
the best of times at Hearts, but he is up there, positive, he has a go. | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
You have to be determined and have a hunger to get there. That will | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
some it up. Any kids watching that, a brilliant goal from Hearts's | :41:58. | :42:05. | |
point of view but Hibs, the thing that disappoints them, don't take | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
away from Barr, he is a defensive player, he will enjoy that one | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
thoroughly for years to come. He could not catch his breath, all the | :42:12. | :42:20. | |
excitement, I am pleased for the Hearts came up with nothing that | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
should have surprised Hibs. They allowed Skacel the sort of room | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
from which he will only do damage? All the stuff we talked about, | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
everything we expected. To be fair to Pat Fenlon, he tried to put out | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
a system where they were mocking Skacel but in fact there marking | :42:38. | :42:42. | |
was too clever, so when he got himself a little bit of space, he | :42:42. | :42:52. | |
:42:52. | :42:55. | ||
black today he was fantastic. Skacel, he usually catches | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
everything cleaned. This isn't clean. It is not a surprise. You | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
watch him there, he drops of a little bit, it is hard to pick him | :43:03. | :43:08. | |
up. He is good at hitting the target. I am not sure if he tried | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
that pass but he gets time to turn, that is where Hibs let it fall | :43:13. | :43:21. | |
today. He plays that in no man's land between the midfield. You need | :43:21. | :43:26. | |
a man in front and the man behind. They set out to try and do that | :43:27. | :43:33. | |
and... It did not work. That is the way Hearts play, they played game | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
after game, they are really good team and Skacel today got in those | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
areas once or twice in the game and when he gets that chance he is | :43:41. | :43:49. | |
deadly. McPake's goal was a godsend. They had been outplayed but this | :43:49. | :43:55. | |
changed the complexion. Yes, he had not got wide at all, they tried to | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
change it before half-time. They bought Sproule on. The ball goes | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
out wide. If anybody deserved a goal this season, it is Mick Bates | :44:05. | :44:13. | |
-- it is McPake. He has the desire. That was one of the few times Hibs | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
to a wider area and put it in. Hibs, Hearts get players behind the ball. | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
They have a determination to get behind the ball. They don't always | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
defend particularly well when they get there, that time the ball | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
crossed Cup -- the ball got across the middle. There was a willingness, | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
and will lift the Hibs, can they keep their heads? Well, some of | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
them did that one did not and it was something a lot of people who | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
have been watching them all season, Kujabi was an accident waiting to | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
happen and all the accidents happened today with Kujabi. It is a | :44:47. | :44:57. | |
:44:57. | :45:06. | ||
shame, to point to one player. gets behind him. If you are | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
defending, don't do that. Don't died in unless you can win the ball. | :45:09. | :45:15. | |
And do not get off your feet. He takes a chance there and that is | :45:15. | :45:22. | |
obviously a yellow card. And that is the way he plays the game. I do | :45:22. | :45:30. | |
not know what he's thinking about. It is a yellow card, no complaints. | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
You cannot have anyone saying it should not have been a sending-off. | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
It is a stone wall sending off but I'm not having it is a penalty, it | :45:38. | :45:43. | |
is outside the box. By the tiny moves in the box he goes over. I | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
don't think there is a trip. The referee, a fabulous position. It is | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
a sending-off, he got that right but is a penalty? For me, no where | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
near. I just cannot see why he gets it wrong. Having said all that, I | :45:58. | :46:05. | |
don't think that is why Hibs lost a game. A great penalty from Grainger | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
but if you look back at the defending, they are trying to stop | :46:09. | :46:14. | |
Suso Santana down the line. He shouldn't be near the box by | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
eventually falls outside it and I'm surprised. I am saying it was | :46:19. | :46:27. | |
inside the box. Now, I agree, really. A bad start, a yellow card | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
already. If you how someone playing like that in that position, change | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
them. We did say he was having a stinker and he was on a yellow card | :46:37. | :46:43. | |
and then there is a massive danger. Hibs were not playing well and if | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
they were going to go down to 10 men, that was the game over and we | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
will ride. The penalty was conceded 39 seconds into the second half and | :46:52. | :47:00. | |
five minutes after the restart, game over. The set piece again. | :47:00. | :47:05. | |
Three times at Hibs have a chance to make a challenge in a 50/50 | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
situation. Ryan McGowan, there is no way he will be second to the | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
ball and that sums up the game. Hearts had the desire to get there | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
first and make sure they would win the 50/50 and get across people and | :47:21. | :47:31. | |
make sure they would stop the Rudi Skacel got the 5th goal, 15 | :47:31. | :47:41. | |
:47:41. | :47:43. | ||
from time. At this point we did and by the time you get to seven | :47:43. | :47:50. | |
that is something never forgotten. I'm sure this won't be any way. | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
They really did find the corners. The three players between him and | :47:55. | :47:59. | |
goal and no one puts in a tackle. I will grant you that, but I don't | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
want to go on about the negativity towards Hibs and Skacel does very | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
well, time and time again, generally dense Hibs and he hits | :48:08. | :48:13. | |
the corners. The amount of time it hits the post and goes in his | :48:14. | :48:23. | |
:48:24. | :48:24. | ||
A quality player. Once again he picks up or Cup winner's medal and | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
he is off, Skacel. I would love him to stay. They have a lot of things | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
to fix in the summer and the manager is up for debate but I | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
don't think they will worry at the moment. A great day and a day to | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
enjoy. The Hearts plays turned it on that performance. You talk about | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
the fall back getting sent off, but he is not the only one who didn't | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
play well. There were a few of them who need to have a look at | :48:49. | :48:54. | |
themselves. It is certainly the end of the line a Hearts or Ian Black. | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
He is often the summer. No doubt about his passion for the club, he | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
made that clear again and again there was the lucky to stay on the | :49:02. | :49:12. | |
:49:12. | :49:15. | ||
was a penalty, he would have been off. I am not sure. When you jump, | :49:15. | :49:22. | |
your arms are therefore balance. There is a left-foot pass and he | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
has acres of space. Look at the Spacey gets here. This was him all | :49:26. | :49:35. | |
day. -- the space he gets here. He just got the ball time and time | :49:35. | :49:45. | |
:49:45. | :49:46. | ||
again. I think he was a player who was the player of the match by a | :49:46. | :49:51. | |
distance. He had a good game. You talk about the image of him being | :49:51. | :49:58. | |
hot-headed. But today we could have played in the space he had. If you | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
look at Ian Black, he is a top footballer and you tend to forget | :50:01. | :50:08. | |
that. Do you think he cares? That is why Hearts have won the Cup, | :50:08. | :50:14. | |
that his passion. They wanted it more than Hibs. You talk about the | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
fact that Hibs have a lot of players on loan, and that makes a | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
difference. Do they care enough? I thought it might take the pressure | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
off, but do they care enough? Certainly not as much as the Hearts | :50:25. | :50:33. | |
As the dust settled on the emphatic win, the Hibs manager Pat Fenlon | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
tried to explain away a devastating defeat. I am guessing that must be | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
one of the most painful experiences you have had to endure in football. | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
Yes, he was desperately disappointing today. We never | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
showed up from the start of the game. No complaints. How do you | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
explain it? It seemed for the first half-hour that the Hibs players did | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
not seem to be there. We can explain it with the position we are | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
in the league and we have struggled over time in the club. Last week | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
and we went Inverness and that showed me what was wrong with the | :51:05. | :51:10. | |
place. A lack of desire and a lack of effort. You can lose games, but | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
if you don't show passion and desire, especially in the Cup final, | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
it nothing's going to happen. the scoreline a fair reflection in | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
the gulf between the teams? could have been more in fairness. I | :51:23. | :51:28. | |
am devastated for the supporters, to be honest. I am only here a | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
short time and it was a massive game for them and we let them down. | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
What was your view of the penalty decision and the sending off? | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
didn't see the penalty, but from where I was it was impossible to | :51:41. | :51:46. | |
see where it was. In fairness that has changed the game but we were | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
second fiddle for most of the game. The main feeling is frustration and | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
annoyance at giving the ball away so cheaply on a regular basis. I | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
apologise to the supporters for that. A bad day for us and you have | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
to take it on the chin. To clarify any confusion, did the referee sten | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
-- Sen due to the stands for a gesture? It is my M plays giving | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
the ball when it was frustration and they should have shown more | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
frustration and desire and passion about the game. So much build-up to | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
a massive cup final. Hibs weight in the Scottish Cup Final stays in the | :52:24. | :52:31. | |
wilderness. What is your message to the fans this evening? What other | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
rice say this evening will not make it any event -- easier for them -- | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
whatever I say. The we apologise for the display. I am the manager | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
and have to take responsibility. It is not good enough. The two | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
weekends a show me what is wrong with the place and we will change | :52:45. | :52:49. | |
it. There was confusion as to why Pat Fenlon was sent to the stand. | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
He said it was a gesture which was aimed at his own players and the | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
disappointment he felt about the performances. The indication at the | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
time was this was aimed at the Hearts supporters who were so | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
Casserly shouting at the time that there was only one Pat Fenlon. -- | :53:07. | :53:14. | |
sarcastically shouting. Have a look at this and make up your mind. | :53:14. | :53:22. | |
it has to be said. It is frustration, isn't it? Pat will be | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
embarrassed but you can understand it. I thought his comments were | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
brilliant because he is not hiding behind it. His team did not perform. | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
They have let the fans down. He picks the team and has put his | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
hands up and he has a big job to do. It is frustration from Pat Fenlon, | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
and he will be embarrassed and I think he will apologise. I like the | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
fact he showed some passion. That was good. These pictures do not | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
show a great case for the defence. He cares. His team are getting | :53:52. | :53:59. | |
hammered. But you cannot do that. You have to have dignity. If you | :53:59. | :54:05. | |
are a manager of a big bore all club, you have to have a standard. | :54:05. | :54:12. | |
-- a big football club. You have to stick to what you're doing. Let's | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
remember there are a lot of fans are doing a helluva lot worse to | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
him constantly and he does one little gesture. I think sometimes | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
we can get carried away. It's not the end of the world. Hibs played | :54:23. | :54:28. | |
like a team who had only just scraped survival in the SPL. They | :54:28. | :54:34. | |
didn't play well today but that is where they are. It is back to what | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
Pat Fenlon said. He has not been working with them and hardening | :54:39. | :54:45. | |
them, he has the money coddle them. He was brought in to do a job, keep | :54:45. | :54:51. | |
them in the SPL. And he has done it, only just, but he did it. It is a | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
bonus getting to the final. Getting hammered by Hearts in the Scottish | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
Cup, the hoodoo goes on, but that is not his job. His job was to keep | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
them in the Premier League and Buffon from there and change the | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
team, but it's a big job in itself. Joy for the jumbos inside Hampden. | :55:09. | :55:14. | |
Banner mood of the supporters hadn't changed much -- and the mood | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
of the supporters hadn't changed much. It was a cup final and maybe | :55:19. | :55:27. | |
the fact there are lot of guys on loan, maybe that was behind it. But | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
Hearts will more up for it. To go down like that is pretty much. | :55:33. | :55:41. | |
Terrible. We were not as good as them. But we will come back. I feel | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
let down. We were really disappointed. I felt as if we | :55:47. | :55:51. | |
started quite well but the longer the game went on, Hearts dominated | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
and Ian Black got a lot of touches and we didn't seem to get close to | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
the important players. And we lost a couple of soft goals in the first | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
half, got one back and thought we had a chance and I think a sending- | :56:04. | :56:13. | |
off and penalty the whole game has Absolutely delighted. For me, the | :56:13. | :56:18. | |
game could not have gone better. Just absolutely delighted. Best day | :56:18. | :56:26. | |
of my life without a shadow of the doubt. 4-0 this time, 5-1 this time. | :56:26. | :56:31. | |
Nervous wrecks, but this is all worth it. It has been brilliant. | :56:31. | :56:38. | |
Every nerve and feeling, this has been worth it. 5-1, Cup final. | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
Words cannot explain how good it was. I am very sorry, but chaps, | :56:42. | :56:52. | |
:56:52. | :56:53. | ||
hard lines. 1896! Amazing for Hearts, we knew we would do it, but | :56:53. | :57:00. | |
the expectations were broken. Nothing will ever be that. That is | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
them finished all the rest of their lives. Party tonight? A party | :57:05. | :57:11. | |
tonight. My mates told me not to suggest -- to send a text to them. | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
Well done, guys, I hope you enjoyed yourselves are no speech you in a | :57:16. | :57:22. | |
month when you can talk again. gloating will continue. Lots of | :57:22. | :57:27. | |
Hearts and Hibs fans did not have tickets and they watched TV | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
coverage in Edinburgh. This was the reaction in two supporters' clubs. | :57:30. | :57:35. | |
Ever-changing moods. That could have been the soundtrack for the | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
clubs. Two goals behind, despondency all around, then | :57:39. | :57:45. | |
suddenly, James McPake scored just before half-time. And their hopes | :57:45. | :57:50. | |
were up again. Not for long. These were the Hearts supporters watching | :57:50. | :57:56. | |
their team going 5-1 ahead. Rudi Skacel's second of the game, and | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
then when the full-time whistle went, that is how it was. So, what | :58:01. | :58:07. | |
is happening in Edinburgh tonight? Our reporter can answer that | :58:07. | :58:14. | |
question as the Hearts celebrations This morning two sets of fans are | :58:14. | :58:19. | |
left Edinburgh dreaming of Scottish Cup glory. However, only one set of | :58:19. | :58:23. | |
fans are partying tonight and that is those of Hearts and in a few | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
moments time the team will make its way along Gorgie Road and these | :58:26. | :58:36. | |
:58:36. | :59:10. | ||
Yes! Getting there! Yes! Many congratulations, you have just | :59:10. | :59:16. | |
driven along Gorgie Road. How does it feel? That is what makes me | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
happy, to see the happiness of the other people. A cigarette moment | :59:20. | :59:28. | |
for me. Because I can feel the pride of my parents, my wife and my | :59:28. | :59:33. | |
kids, that is what matters for me. For me it is not money, it is not | :59:33. | :59:38. | |
being on the spot, it is the feelings of the other ones. I am | :59:38. | :59:44. | |
strong enough to survive any storm. I want those around me to feel | :59:44. | :59:50. | |
happy. You were close to tears? Very emotional. When I spoke about | :59:50. | :59:57. | |
my family, all the love I have for them, I know and I want every | :59:57. | :00:03. | |
single day of my life to make them proud. Because I am so proud of | :00:03. | :00:09. | |
them. I am not sure if they do this and Portugal, do they? Win cups? | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
Yes, they do, they do. We had a similar people in the way we do | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
these things, it is very important to me, having a family seeing us | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
lift the Cup. A fantastic moment. After the final whistle, it is a | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
different day. Until the final whistle it is a day like any other. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Darren Barr, you were distraught at Hampden a couple of years ago when | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
you lost a cup final with Falkirk. Was it feel like today? If I am in | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
honest, I cannot believe it, it has not sunk in. It is a pleasure, the | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
team performance was immense, and can't complain. What about the | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
celebrations driving along and the bus? A great day my life, I am | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
taking it on. This is supposed to be your last game for Hearts, I am | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
sure there will be talks over the next few weeks. What was the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
feeling like when the 90 minutes, the final whistle went today? | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
was an emotional time, not just for myself, for the squad. We set out | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
to do this after beating Celtic and to get the result we did was | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
delight for. It was a team game, we all did great. An occasion that is | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
going to meet -- going to be magnificent. The celebrations, you | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
don't get a taste that very often, do you? You don't, maybe once-in-a- | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
lifetime and I'm bowing out on the biggest high of my life so I will | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
enjoy every moment. You look as if you have enjoyed every moment. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Jamie, you have the winners'' medal. What does it mean to you? It means | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
:02:03. | :02:06. | ||
everything. In 2080 I was distraught, to win it today is... | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Just speechless come to be honest. It has been a great day especially | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
against a local rivals. Hearts fan, man and boy, been there as a player, | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
what does it mean? It was brilliant, the best day. I did not think it | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
would go as well as that. The sending-off was a turning-point | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
macro. We will take that and enjoy the night. What about the reception | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :02:45. | ||
from the fans? Fantastic. My close friends, we will be quicker this | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
time than last time, but it is one to enjoy, I am looking forward to | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
seeing my wife and kids and have a good night tonight. Have a great | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
:03:03. | :03:07. | ||
How do you feel? Great, we did really well, we showed everybody's | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
there is only one team in Edinburgh. Fantastic. It will be quite a party | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
tomorrow. It will be similar to 2006, a massive party for the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
bigger heart of Edinburgh. Hopefully, if I don't lose tonight, | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
hopefully tomorrow. All the best. A few tired and emotional people | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
around in that celebration party tonight and not surprising, who | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
would blame them? I wonder what sort of Hearts team we will see | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
next season. It will be a big change in the summer. Yes, it is | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
transition again, down to the owner, the budget, the players for next | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
season. They have lost one or two already. They could lose the | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
nucleus of the team. He will be a massive mess and if that happens | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
three or four macro times than they were hard to replace. They have | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
young players that Hearts but they will want to bring in some players | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
as well. It is down to the owner, how much she is prepared to back | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the manager, whoever that may be. Normally you would expect the team | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
to kick on, but in a title challenge domestically, and of | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
course they are in the Europa League play-offs saw a big | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
opportunity for Hearts but you wonder about the strength of the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
squad with costs being trimmed. is the classic shout of the | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
football fan, go to the next level, it means through more money at it. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
He is not going to do it again, painful though it is for Hearts fan, | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
-- fans, and when you have a nucleus of a good team, you take | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Skacel out of that, Beattie out, Black, that is the core part of the | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
team. I agree, there is enough good young players coming through. I am | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
impressed with some of the guys, Driver will be a good player next | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
year if he is free from injury. A lot of teams in Scotland a maybe | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
not as strong as they have been in the past. They have to cut their | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
cloth. They will build up again. From Paulo Sergio's point of view, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
he must think he could do something out, he could go a challenge, get | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
close, be the second force. It will be tougher now. Another of your | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
board teams are celebrating tonight, St Johnstone with a place in Europe | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
courtesy of Hearts winning the Cup. Yes, they have had a good season, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
they have kicked on in the last two of three years. They will be | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
delighted. They will lose players because of the financial contract, | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
but my time at St Johnstone, we played in the European competition, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
so good look to them. Our final word tonight should be for Paulo | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Sergio, who was so emotional in that interview. He has clued Hearts | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
together, it seems, because they have looked on the point of | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
imploding with late wage payments and the usual sides Joe going on. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
It is not the easiest job in the world being Hearts manager. Maybe | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
this year as much as anybody else. I like the way he has been, after | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
the game to date he was very quick to say he is thinking about Hibs | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
and the pain they are going through. That is a real professional, | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
somebody who understands. He has behaved fantastically. He has kept | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the team together. You have a football club, your directors, | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
people at that level but on the day-to-day basis in the dressing | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
room at training you have to stay together, have a bond, there has to | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
be trust and that is the biggest thing for me. In adverse | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
circumstances with the wages, he has kept them close-knit and you | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
could see it today. It showed in the game and it showed in the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
celebrations. They are happy with each other. That is a big thing, | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
you don't see the managers and players, their reaction to each | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
other was fantastic. They adore him. It will be a sad day for them if | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
they lose him. You feel it was a well-oiled machine, all the parts | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
were working in sharp contrast to the opposition. You have the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
tactics, incredible. They did not change, but is the way they play. I | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
keep going back to Hibs today, they knew exactly what Hearts were going | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
to set up and they got it wrong at the start. They could not react. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
knew what they would do. Sometimes you think player for player you can | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
change everything you like, you can drop a little bit deeper, you can | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
cut out, actually they have 11 players that are better than your | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
players, whatever you do is highly unlikely to work so you try | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
everything and I was not to down on Pat Fenlon in the end because he | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
tried something different, it didn't work, so he moved on from | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
that and accepted it but it will be a different team next season. We | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
have to say well done Hearts, the better team, I am gutted, I put my | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
hands up and my heart is broken as they say, but something will cheer | :07:53. | :08:02. |
