tartofmidlothian Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Would you rather we finished 10th and Hibs were a place below us? Or 8th and they were a place above? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Delano Bluth Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Whit? Would I prefer Hibs to be 7th or 11th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barasa Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 8th and Hibs finished above us, no question. Hearts always come first for me. And surely we'll get more money for finishing in a higher position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Depends on other factors. If We beat Hibs. And they loose the final ( heavily idealy ). Then I can handle being 8th ( more money than 10th ) and them being above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 We need to finish as high up the league as possible, seventh ideally... We need the cash. All other permutations are moot as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster HMFC Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Being honest there`s not really any big bragging rights when both teams finish in the bottom six so i`d take highest finish in the league for the extra cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the correct answer is, I want us to finish 7th, but if that doesn't happen... Judging by the noise-up non-answers I suspect most other posters don't know either.

Sydney Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I get where the OP is coming from, but this is really a no-brainer. Highest league position possible, every single day. Hibs (when we're not playing them) are a complete irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Easy for me. I will always rather Hearts do as well as possible than Hibs doing crap. I do not have a Hibs mentality. We should be aiming for seventh anyway, then they will finish below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Part of me wants us to pick up no further points. Why? The best case scenario going forward for Hearts involves us shedding our massive debt. The only way I can realistically see this happening is via some sort of insolvency event for UBIG. However, this would likely lead to us losing a 3rd of our previous season's points total. As it looks like we'll make it to the end of this season, any points deduction would be for next season, using this season's points total to work it out. Therefore, every 3 points we pick up could mean another point taken off us next season. Despite this I still want to really really beat the wee team of course.

Debut 4 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Have we ever worried where Hibs finish?...maybe this season we are because we have been poor and our only sad chink of light is possibly finishing above them.....but given our record and standards Hibs are never in our thoughts at the start of a season ....we normally finish well above them....they have never been a barometer for us. I always want us to finish as high as we can and 7th is the aim, if it ends up 8th and they are 7th,so be it, but it just means we haven't been good enough.....I do want to finish above them as itd be amusing after their shouting earier in the season but not 10th.

We should be aiming for seventh anyway, then they will finish below us. Its hibs mentality that they wish their arch rivals to do worse than themselves. To get as much cash as possible we definitely need to finish 7th this season. I dont care about the wee team - they can take care of their own downfall and miserable cupless exisitence.

If we're working on this theory of potentially going into admin to shave the debt, I'll take Win against Hibs, a draw against St Mirren and Aberdeen and a defeat off Dundee. The minimum points deduction is 15pts so we might as well pick up our five remaining points! Defeat to Dundee would only be acceptable if they were going to catch St Mirren. If the saints were to get relegated we could probably do admin and stay in the league against that Dundee team next year! It's all conjecture anyway; I want Hearts to win all those games, that's what matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
