I did this by decade using London Hearts as my source and found that since league football began in season 1890-91, Hearts have finished ahead of Hibs in 7 decades, Hibs have finished ahead in 4 decades and we have equal amount of finishing ahead twice. Hearts are also ahead this current decade. To make things simple I have used my starting point for each decade as a season starting in 9 and ending in 0, so for example the 60s started with our Championship title in 59-60. Also I have not counted any season where we have not been in the same division. Additionally the 2010s, where we finished behind by 5 seasons to 3, were skewed by our relegation season in 2013-14. In that season we technically finished 12 points behind Hibs but only through being deducted 15 points so we were in reality three points above them making that decade another draw on 4 each. Again working in Hibs favour I have included the 1940s wartime league standings where teams could feature guest players. People like Matt Busby played quite a few times for them. However even in the decade of Hibs greatest success, the 1950s when they won back to back titles in 51 and 52, we finished ahead 6 seasons out of the 10. More surprising for me though was that we finshed ahead 7 seasons in the 1960s (not going to dwell on the 70s!) In total we have finished ahead of Hibs in 67 seasons (68 if going by actual points won in 2013-14) to their 51. Unless I can live into my late 70s, early 80s the chances of them being ahead by the time I pop my clogs are pretty much zero! In conclusion, KEEP ON FTH!

Mikey1874 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Quite a lot of views by Hibs fans on the issues. If only Monty would listen. - the 2 in Central midfield Levitt and Newell basically not doing anything and being outnumbered and out run - 442 - Youan and Vente play too deep - too open defensively - don't get the ball to the forwards somehow - new players look like they haven't played in months - players not good enough to play the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It's amazing how that whenever Hearts are third or win a derby or, in any way, do well, the dotnut mantra is always the same: "Scottish fitba's shite, ken"? Everytime. It's Hibs that are shite. With rare exception, they have ranged between shite and mediocre since the latter part of the 70's. Shite, mediocrity and rarely winning derbies is their lot. Little wonder they hate reality over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
