neilnunb Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hmmm Motherwell fans certainly have no love for us, so I'll plump for a draw....but post numerous smileys if the goals go in at the Hibs end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Root Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Not interested in the result from a Hearts point of view? :interesting: Well Wills, do you think we'll catch Motherwell? I sure as hell don't. A few goals from Beattie might change that, but best we can hope for this season is top six and a decent cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prince William Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hearts interests come first Well Wills, do you think we'll catch Motherwell? It's Motherwell we're chasing ffs, they're not invincible There is definitely a chance of catching them. Especially if a few teams can do us a favour, such as Hibs tonight.

Templeton'sUnderpants Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wanting Hibs to do badly over Hearts interests. That is the sort of stuff you usually see from them. For the argument of Well win putting Hibs down and Rangers to third, I think you should care a bit more about your own teams ambitions than other teams failings.

We may not be shit if Beattie signs and starts pumping them in. It's not defeatist, it's reality. Hearts should be more than capable of pounding other teams and passing Rangers, but we're not. Why? No ******* strikers, mediocre midfield, ropey defence. And a shite goalie in McDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Hearts shiteing themselves and throwing the towel in tbf Not saying they are invincible but they are (by quite a long way IMO) the 3rd best team in the league at the moment. We should be, but we're not. The fact is that they are a lot better at beating teams than we are, so if they get up a head of steam we won't catch them, no matter how hard we cross our fingers and shut our eyes. If they have a chance of splitting the gruesome twosome then I say bring it on. Hibs have got no chance against them BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie darko Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'd take a draw in this one, but a Hibs defeat, just as good... As an aside, I liked the BBC team news article, Twain 'For Hibernian, Pat Fenlon has Tom Sawyers back in the squad for the trip to Fir Park, but Calum Booth is still struggling with an injury.' Now if they could only get Huckleberry Finn match fit, I reckon they might just avoid the drop. Or is that merely fiction? (The Tom Sawyer books: 1876-1896. I don't think poor Tom saw the 1902 big cup win either!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hibs win this time surely? Well have Celtic away on Saturday where you can only assume they'll lose. A win for us on Saturday would then mean the gap was only 6 points having played the same games. Having said that well win tonight that's when I'll give up hope of catching them As much as I hate them ^ this makes total sense to jambos^ I'm with these lads. I don't get the Motherwell love in. I don't believe they are as good as some on here are saying. We tore them a new one on Christmas Eve and if we can get to within 6 points with them still to play at Tynecastle then I'll continue to believe. Although Paulo better get his head out his arse as regards away tactics and try to actually win or 5th or 6th is the best we can hope for. However, realism has kicked in and I can't see the Hibs getting anything from tonight 'cos they're shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 YES! and with Rangers having 3 pretty tough matches coming up, after ICT of course (us, Dundee Utd and Celtic), Motherwell have a great chance of getting 2nd place - which nobody can deny they fully deserve! I normally don't like Motherwell, but by goodness I hope they can pump THEM and push Rangers down the table!! I whole Heart(s)edly agree. Motherwell, a team I dont paticulary like, have a very real chance of finishing 2nd. And as I hate the old squirm - I am routing Motherwell purely because they deserve it and have been the inform team in the league at the moment. And Hibs to continue their slump towards the First Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't want Hibs to win but it's better for Hearts if Well lose. It's not beyond the realms of possiblity for Hibs to win tonight and still go down. If they're going to win somewhere it might as well be tonight. If people are so convinced we can't catch Motherwell even if they lose to Hibs I'd say "get a grip, they just lost to feckin Hibs!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.J Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have every confidence that we'll catch Motherwell. In fact, I know we will.

How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The poorer the Hibs side/ prospects the stronger Hearts support and financial base. It's a long term view.

We would get no real money for finishing 2nd. All the Champions League cash is in the group stages, and we'd have to beat a team like Arsenal or Brage to qualify, as Celtic needed to do on the last two occasions. Hearts have zero chance of getting to the group stages if we were to finish 2nd. However, that's a moot point as there's no chance Hearts will finish 2nd this year anyway.

Motherwell have been playing (forgive he pun) well. Our away form has been poor. Yes a win for the hobbits does help us, and admittedly I would not grumble if hibs did win as it does help us. Yes you are right about rankers being 2nd in the league but if they fell away and Motherwell leap frogged them I would be quitely amused. And as I said outside the old squirm Motherwell have been the inform team, perhaps something I should have pointed out more clearly in my last post. Thats all. For the record I hate the old squirm ,hate hibs and want them to go down. I dont paticualry go for the "But I'd miss the derby too much" philosophy, (well they wouldn't ay the same about us if we were in the same position as the hobbits). The only other team I have any respect for away from the Famous is Killie but they earned that (for me at least) after the 5 - 3 game at Tynie back in 97/98 season.

Das Root Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Another thing to consider. Motherwell are more than likely to vote Hun v2 back into the SPL given they need the gate money from those orcs. However, if Motherwell are fighting for 2nd this season we can anticipate a growing gate of home supporters, more so if they get into Europe. This would show they could earn more from their own supporters if they actually had a chance of Europe or even winning something annually. That being the case, would they vote to continue the duopoly? I'm not so sure. No hun = chance for 2nd, chance even for 1st...with hun, it's 3rd at best.

rossthejambo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Motherwell, win tonight or not, are still catchable. I'm still fairly confident that they we could realistically catch them. Wanting Hibs to lose at all times isn't a bad thing. Worth remembering that finishing 4th gets us into Europe as well (as will 5th if Rangers don't get their UEFA Licence) so European football isn't solely dependent on us catching Motherwell.
