Boof Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hearts have only ever beaten Celtic once at Tynecastle in the Scottish Cup. How many attempts? And also when was the league 40-year barren run? I know London Hearts is the place to look but you seem to have the stats at your finger tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo 4 Ever Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My thoughts also,,,another weeks rest for Prince? Wonder how Mckays foot is today. Jason Holt to start again with 3 in central midfield? Will be interesting What happened to mckays foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 As fans, are we even up for this? I can't wait personally but almost every Jambo I've spoken to lately doesn't seem to care. I know cups aren't priority but I'd love it if we stuffed them and personally I think we can. We'll be more organised and prepared for them this time round and with a European hangover I reckon they'll be somewhat vulnerable. Plus, knocking them out early doors puts us in a good position to go on a run. Personally hope we get a good crowd and a great atmosphere like yesterday. I view it what might be considered somewhere in between, sort of a win win situation. While we will go into the game as underdogs I would be pleased to see us beat them, I go along to all games with the same hope, that we win. However, if we lose, I will not be overly disappointed. The focus for this season has to be on getting back to the top league, and we are well on the way to that, and don't want anything to act as a detraction from that aim. The one thing I would prefer most is a result next Sunday, either win or lose, I don't fancy a trip through to Parkhead midweek in December.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I think it's a fantastic chance for us. A win would be a huge declaration of intent of where Hearts are going. We get them at Tynie, where we have our best chance to beat them, clearly, and with Celtic gone winning the whole thing would be that much easier. (has any club ever won the cup while in a lower division?) I realize it's unlikely, but the chance to be in the stadium if we won would be easily enough to make me go if I could.

amadjambo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 If we win the cup opens right up with half the top teams getting knocked out. A wee cup run would also keep the later part of the season interesting after we have secured a very early promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverley Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm torn I said before a ball was kicked that I wanted us to challenge the league for an outright first and if second to everything in our power to go back up and didn't give a shit about cup runs. However, now i have my ticket and we just whapped rangers, i think we have a chance to beat celtic. I was disappointed by the last result as i thought we could have won that which in itself is testament to how we have progressed I want us to win but if we lose I'll be over it in minutes. That said, as a route in to europe we probably shouldn't discount it completely. The league is my priority though and I'd do nothing to jeopardise that even at the risk of losing to that shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Doubt if Celtic will try to kick us off the park. That was always the forte of the liquidated club and clearly nothing has changed.

Musemic Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Don't expect to hear RN say it but next week's match is a sideshow for us.

Also, since we've won the BIG cup 3 times in the last 15 years we should let one of the wee teams have some glory (as long as it's not H1b5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Other thing we should bear in mind is that Celtic aren't up to much. By all accounts they were extremely lucky again on Saturday. They have dropped points at the likes of Dundee and Inverness this season. For all we lost the league cup game convincingly in the end, we matched them early on and but for two bad mistakes (Walker miss, Sow penalty) the story could have been pretty different. Fully agree we have nothing at all to lose but we aren't playing some tremendous Celtic team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar the Horrible Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If we beat Celtic we will go onto win the cup, but beating QoS the week after IS far more important.

Prince Buaben Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If Robbie made wholesale changes i wouldnt be too disapointed but after them scoring 7 on the last visit. I wouldnt want a repeat perfromance of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I hope we take it seriously (I'm sure we will). A few changes, but still a strong line up: --------------------------Alexander-------------------- Paterson-----Ozturk---------McKay/or McGhee---------Eckersley -----------------Gomis--------Pallardo--------------- --Nicholson------------Holt-----------------Walker-------------- ------------------------Keatings--------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverley Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If Robbie made wholesale changes i wouldnt be too disapointed but after them scoring 7 on the last visit. I wouldnt want a repeat perfromance of that. i can't see us being horsed by 7 at home to be fair. don't think i'm not wanting us to take this seriously, i just would rather avoid any more injuries. it has been pointed out already though that celtic will probably at least try and play football rather than bloody tekken like that shower on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rods Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Comes at a great time this actually as any league tie would be seen as a banana skin. Also get Sow and Wilson some game time and test out Pallardo and Bauben combination. If we lose this it wont be a disaster if we win it then thats a wee bonus.

Thomaso Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Make no mistake the Weegie powers that be will not have liked the fact that Hearts were the innocent party and an OF team were shown up to be a bunch of thugs on Saturday. I expect the OF biased status quo to be re-established on Saturday with any Hearts tackles being dealt with harshly and our players painted as the real thugs.
