stuart500 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 When we played The Rangers on 22nd November they had just completed a 9 game unbeaten run scoring 22 and conceding only 2. They were on a serious roll and fancied their chances to claw back our lead. We beat them. With no help from a ref who could and should have sent off 2 more of their players. They and their fans went into meltdown and they have been on a downward spiral ever since (excluding cup game against Killie who shat it big style at Ibrox). Since then they have lost to Alloa and Queen of the South, have had off field turmoil and sent a hapless manager off on paid leave whilst promoting an equally hapless replacement. They were a shambles today before setting foot on the park and the Easter Rodents have taken advantage of the fact. Hearts beat them at the difficult time and our squad has suffered since due to the loss of Mchattie and El Hass injured in that game. The Hobbits may boast about todays result but they got the golden opportunity today thanks to us breaking Sevcos momentum on 22nd November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing WE can take from this result is that the media, the Vermin and their support will be giving it large in the run up to the Derby. That suits us perfectly.

stuart500 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 The pressure is on them now which should suit us perfectly. They have had the luxury of being so far off the lead that they have had nothing really to lose. We are so far in front the pressure has been on us not to blow it. We have come through terrible bad luck as far as having our best forwards available but have still won our last three games with no goals conceded. We have played on 2 dodgy pitches which have curtailed our normal passing game. My view is we are coming through OUR sticky period stronger and further than ever ahead. Lets hope the Hobbits seriously underestimate us next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only beat the team in front of you, but moreover, hibs were great today and scored 4 super goals. I didn't see the goals, but the fact is that they utterly horsed Rangers today, and anyone who does that has to be respected, regardless of how wounded or off form we think Rangers might be. I think some people (not you, I hasten to add) are being a bit careless. A huge amount in football depends on confidence. They'll have their tails up going into next week's game, and we will have to play well to get the result we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I said at the time after we beat them that they not only lost the 3 points but they were done psychologically. That game against us was like their cup final, they played the best that they could in those first 30 mins or so and still lost and ever since then they just haven't looked the same team. Today when the first goal went in you could see the heads go down. Most of the players just looked like they had given up the ghost, there looked to be no fight left in them, they are a beaten team. I fully expect them to drop even more points now and I think they will struggle to hold on to 2nd place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers today were made up of a bunch of players who know the game is up for them, they know there is no future for them at Rangers and consequently are un moved whether they win or not... they could not give a faux they have lost their professionalism, they are a bust flush. Without any doubt that is why the gave rangers such a doing. When rangers last played Hearts the situation was so different . Whilst not trying to take the fact that Hibs recorded a good win today but it is probably more beneficial to us than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be Hibs interviews and sound bytes for the next few days.

portobellojambo1 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I had a strong feeling Hibs would beat Rangers today. does it bother me that in doing so they racked up 4 goals, not in the slightest.

queensferryjambo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Don't see why people are trying to make out this wasn't a great victory against Rangers and that it is somehow less of a victory as Rangers aren't at their best - it was a terrific victory for H1b5. If there was ever going to be any complacency among our players about the up and coming derby match then I would think this is a clear message that we need to be at the top of our game to win at New Year. H1b5 have hit a bit of form coming into the derby. Hearts have nothing to fear as long as we play to our capabilities and keep our cool on the 3rd of January.

Debut 4 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Neil McCann summed up Rangers at half time. No appetite, no energy , not up for the fight but ultimately not enough quality and positive movement in their team. They get by beating the rest with their system because of the lack of quality in the division but once they play a team with all the ingredients above that they don`t have, they suffer. Their troubles as a club are no doubt having and effect on them but i certainly think you can catch a team at the right time and Hibs did. I think we started the rot for Rangers with our victory over them last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independence Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 From the H1b5man online in a report about Livingston v Hearts: 'Hibs are playing some marvellous football at the moment and look a match for their city rivals after finding their feet under their impressive head coach Alan Stubbs.' ?You really couldn't make this up! A good reminder why I stopped buying the H1b5man years ago. I watched the H1b5 game today. They were good against a very poor Sevco. But to say they were marvellous..........beyond belief! My mate who unfortunately , for him, is a H1b5 fan states that hs team have been dreadful in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hibs might have horsed Rangers twice, but they've also embarrassed themselves several times against the weaker teams in the league.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hibs can suck my dick. This was the best weekend bar none to play Rangers.

Getintaethem Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Credit where credit is due to Hibs. They played well today, and I still think they have been our most difficult opponents this season. They have some very good players like Allan and Gray, and some good pro's like Fontaine and Oxley. Next week will be a very tough match. However, No matter how well they do in the big games, they're always likely to **** up against teams like Alloa and Raith. They also have some utter dross like Robertson and Handling, and very average pros like Stevenson and Craig. We have good players in every position. We own them. Deep down in their souls they know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Stinkfinger Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thought Hibs were just as bad as Rangers in open play, lots of poor passing and mistakes all over the place, Championship Football. But.....the 1st 2 goals that Rangers gifted Hibs where hilarious Rangers chucked in the towel from then on. Hibs are no great shakes and had an easy day against a team that, well, isn't a team. Stubbsy was waffling about having a good week to plan for the game against Rangers, lets see how he plans to play against a Hearts side that scores for fun and concedes nothing when the only sure bet for a place in the team is the Goalkeeper.

The media will no doubt be going over the top about the 4-0 score but Hearts players need to forget the hype and just concentrate on giving the Rodents a total humping next week.

How does comparing the merits of our win in November against Hibs win today equate to being afraid of them? My summation states the total opposite. Im saying our win was just as credible as Hibs win today because of the differing Sevco position. Im sure our players will not be afraid of Hibs but they need to avoid believing the media hype which in my view is not merited for the reasons given.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hibs' issue this season has never been how they do against Rangers or us (they've actually played reasonably well against us twice this season - didn't win either). It's when they're expected to win against teams when the atmosphere's flat and there's pressure on he, to go and create - they don't do so well then. We just keep winning (and for the most part winning well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are miles ahead but not over the line. Give respect where it's due to a team playing well. They have several good players to be wary of. I expect that the players will have this drilled into them this week. This is not the game we need to lose our momentum on and start 2015 with a loss.

I am a Hibs fan and first posted on here to thank you guys for the great posts when Eddie Turnbull passed and again when Jim Cruickshank passed. The derby is a game I always look forward to believe it or not. I love them. My granddad was a Leith Jambo and my father in law is a big jambo and season ticket holder. We dinnae chat that often about the games, makes life easier. I never wanted you guys going out of the box. Like it or not we need our rivalry. I was at the game today and I must say it was a mix of us being very good and them being really shite. I have never seen an old firm team so lacking in everything. They are ****ed big time. I thought that they would be right at us today with Sally being emptied and a lot to prove. Apart from 10 minutes in the second half when they kicked anything that moved (Scott Allan in particular) they were shite. A sorry excuse of a team. I loved it. I said to my mates after the game that at least we and you at least have learned the hard way but are building for the future. It might be enforced but we at least are doing it. They on the other hand are paying the price for the arrogance shown since they became Sevco. Paying radge wages to very average players from top flight clubs to win the bottom leagues in a very poor Scottish game. That was obvious today. **** me I couldn't believe how bad Lee Wallace was ( a guy I always thought a great player). Next week will hopefully be a great game and I hope that it shows the Edinburgh Derby is the top game in Scotland. We deserve that. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky Jambo Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Well done Hibs today. It would be unfair to diminish their performance today and foolish on our part to put it down solely to Rangers' inadequacy. While QOTS played ok for in spells against us the reality is Hibs have been our toughest opposition and have just about matched us over the two games so far. Player for player I firmly believe we have the better squad, but we will need to be right up for it on the 3rd and not take anything for granted.
