Scottish Cup - 4th round draw : Hibs at home

[Fintry_Jambo]

At the end of the day hibs don't win at Tynie. Doesn't matter how shit we are, 4 wins in 30 or something like that. Place will be rocking, there derby bubble would have been burst after we beat them on December the 27th as well. Don't care what state we are in, always love a derby home or away, the build up, the day/night and most of the time the result! FTH

If Levein can get 3rd place this season I'll happily forgive a cup defeat to a team above us. 

 

He won't though. He won't be 4th either and it wouldn't be a surprise for him to be bottom 6. Ignoring the derby cup tie for a minute.

If he finishes bottom 6 he has to go. Or will you just blame Cathro or the new main stand  and lurch on your merry way towards the season after.

 

Stop referring to fellow Hearts fans with a different view as 'shitebags' People that do that look like superior uberfan arseholes.

 

 

Stop calling people shitebags because if you do you're an arsehole ?

C'mon, bud, a bit contradictory, no ?

[dode]

I was passing the Lorne bar at tea time and they were already celebrating the draw singing cheer up craig Levein.

keep the powder dry they proved this season they are no world beaters and despite the warrior poets waxing lyrical about their styleHamilton ,Aberdeen and St Johnstone have taken full points from the echodome this season.

If Levein is still in place come January 21st then effectively the Hibs cup tie will be a win-or-go for him. It puts a finite timescale on not only his rein but on the entire structure of the football dept . He simply wouldn't be able to survive having been in overall charge of a team that has lost 3 home cup ties to Hibs in consecutive seasons. Cathro came under pressure after less than 3 months in the job after losing to Hibs. Levein will be out of the club if he doesn't win this one. 

 

Really? What if we go on a run in the league before then? It’s only mid nov.

 

some folk seem to be already gearing up for another neilson sitiation where we’re doIng fine in the league but one cup tie somehow negates all that. Where do they find the energy? It’s a weird way to support your team.

 

if your irst thought on hearing this draw is that it’s all about levein’s future you’ve got issues. A derby is a cracking tie to look forward to not make it all about the manager.

[Armageddon]

They’re shite, shame we’re 10x worse.

To be perfectly honest, i'm looking forward to the night League game because that WILL be rocking. Once TV get their grubby hands on the Cup game, it will be Sundaay at noon or some pish like that.

Excellent post. The person shouting loudest for investment in the team between now and January will be CL. He will know exactly what defeat will mean. 

Spot on. He played in lots of derbies, several being very high octane. He even scored in a couple of them. If he can’t get investment in and get the players up for this then it could be Cheerio as there could easily be a massive backlash from the support.

The Lorne Bar? the one that closed years ago, Now Bar Boda? Bar Boda that has as many fitba fans in it as a phone box?

 

That Lorne Bar? Singing Hibs songs at teatime? 

 

AYE?

We all know a bloke in the pub who repeats the same story over and over again. Everybody ends up ignoring him.

You've watched us recently I assume. Like live in the flesh watched us aye ?

 

If you have, at any stage of any game in the last month or so have we looked remotely like a team who will go 'on a run' ?

Correct and probably wont sell out in that case.

If he lasts till then, lose both the Hibs games and he’s 100% got to go.

Same here Morgan.  I've been working myself into a bit of a lather at some of these posters who say we are 10 times worse than Hibs 

 

We simply can't keep underperforming.  Too many good players for that.  They will be monumental underdogs for the cup game because they are not Hearts.  They are a scummy wee outfit from Pilrig.

[AlphonseCapone]

How can anyone not be buzzing for another derby, at Tynecastle Park nonetheless? Looks like our fans have lost it as much as the club.

 

Folk saying it is make and break for Levein as well, the stereotypical modern age want it all immediately fan mindset.

I dont think (for financial reasons) he would be sacked if we lost, however any goodwill with the fans most certainly would be gone. He cannot afford that if he wishes to remain at our club, as DoF/Director/whatever. 

 

Ann could do without yet another derby cup defeat and I am sure her business excellence will result in her freeing up some money in January. Unless one of the executive suites requires a higher quality of painting, that is.

Yes and no but then one of our best ever runs started after a terrible run of form. Thats football. I mean why even bother turning up if you’re that pessimistic?

No, it probably will sell out regardless of how the League game pans out. The last Cup game had a strange, low key atmosphere. That's not all down to TV but playing a game at Sunday lunchtime isn't going to be the same as a night game....when everyone has had a good drink !

Best memory of him playing in maroon was him jumping around pretending to box  after a bit of handbags between Stevo (I think) and an opposition player. Can’t really remember what lead to it, just Ryan acting foolish to defuse any potential situation ?

Jamie Mac was the other Hearts player.

By the way. Stop referring to fellow Hearts fans with a different view as 'shitebags' People that do that look like superior uberfan arseholes.

 

 

If you are scared of being drawn hibs in the cup- at home , you are shite bag, Hearts fan or not.

Most of these folk are the ones that have a dig at Hearts and CL for having no fight or bottle and have already thrown the towel in- definition of shite bag, IMO.

 

 

4th will be between hibs, Motherwell us, and St Johnstone. None of them are that good we can't finish above them. Aberdeen and Rangers are. 

 

If he's bottom six I think he'll be gone.

So one minute your concerned on finance and debt but now you say she should free up money.

 

Unless we can spend the gate receipts for the game we wont be doing huge business i fancy.

 

It’ll be one in and one out.

Moult will gone or half way out the door after January. Tommy Wright is batting his eyes at Northern Ireland. There are whispers of Lennon being in line for the Eire job (and he’s quite smart at knowing to leave jobs when his stock is quite high). McInnes is being linked with every fairly high profle job and McLean is leaving them in January. And Rangers are just a mess from top to bottom.

 

We have problems on the park but they’re not insurmountable and other clubs in the mix for top 4 will have their own things to deal.

Hiya. Was wondering when you would pitch up. Nobody asked you to respond! Pleasure as always to read your knowledgeable musings and interesting points. Most Hearts fans agree with my sentiments entirely, check out the responses. Again my apologies that it's all too much for your sensitive little soul to comprehend.

I have posted that a balance is required. I do not believe that ST holders will once again renew following yet another awful season simply because they can sit in/look at a new stand. The football team also needs to be ok.

It's only season defining if we lose. We win we'll likely get dumped out by Celtic in the next round.

How we have reacted to adversity is a credit to us. Let's leave it there and get behind it. The point here is move on, or wallow in self pity.

We were different when gods like Rudi Skacel were playing for us, I would be absolutely buzzing at this draw and would be at peak excitement levels. All of that has been sucked out of me, I'd rather we just went out to some beige team like Dundee as I cannot stand losing to Hibs.

That first sentence is the big one to ponder. Is it a defining game ? Surely it can only be defining if people think we can win the cup this season.

Yes ? No ? Or is it because it's Hibs ?
