Gizmo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Doesn't feel like it. Hopefully, Celtic write us off completely given current form looks like continuing, and we produce one of those performances in the final, perhaps getting some good luck cause we surely had none in the league cup semi-final.

Half time pie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 God help us. We will either stun Hampden and the SFA or be completely humiliated. Hope it’s the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copa-mundial Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 No. We're fecking woeful!! It pains me to say that, but it's true. No one can defend the way we are playing right now and have been since the league cup semi final. Seriously, if I had been out walking and todays game was played on a public pitch. I wouldn't have stood around to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott980612 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 In all honesty - we are duff I wouldn’t bet on us getting any more points- bar maybe killie at home. Cup final is a one off game - where anything can happen. Different mentality Huge atmosphere. Unbelievable opportunity to win silverware Players playing to the occasion likelihood - Celtic win comfy - as there better than us & have better players that’s why they’ll be odds on football is a funny old game though. And if Leicester can do a miracle season at 5000/1 It’s not impossible hearts hearts do a miracle “ 90” minutes. Ands that’s what I’ll cling on to. Regardless of how rest of season goes and cup final result. Levein goes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were truly awful against a very average Rangers side. I just hope that somehow we produce a performance on cup final day - but play like we did today and we have no chance.

Gorillajam Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I'm not confident at all of winning the cup. Unfortunately Celtic look too strong an opponent. We tend to up our game against Hibs and Aberdeen. Our record at Pittodrie has been atrocious for the last decade. Hibs still seem to be in the honeymoon period with their new manager. They've been one of the form teams of late. Not confident of getting a result against them. Killie is our best bet and even then thats going to be a tough match. The league is over for us this season (sadly it has been for some time) - the best we can hope for is to somehow win the Scottish cup against a dominant Celtic side. Luck has most definitely been on our side with the draws in the Scottish cup and few can argue we are fortunate to be in the final but thankfully we have something to look forward to - if someone had said at the start of the season we'd win the Scottish cup and finish 6 - I'd have jumped on that! Overall it has been an incredibly frustrating season - injuries have occurred at key periods in the season to the detriment of our season.

In recent times we rarely beat Hibs away, Killie at home, Aberdeen away or at Celtic Park. As for the final it will need a miracle combined with a bent Hun ref. Depressing stuff and renewing my season ticket is getting more of a chore every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Celtic really, really, really need to have a bad day at the office for Hearts to even have a sniff of winning in 90 minutes, I expect Hearts to sit back and soak up all the intense pressure and cave in within the first 5/10 minutes, Hearts will continue to be on the back foot but for once in our life Lady Luck will sprinkle some luck on us, we'll equalise and see it out to the penalties, Scott Brown will crash his penalty off Bobby's Bar to win us the cup.

I doubt many non-OF clubs have done much better in that time. The split is an artificial nonsense which creates an imbalanced, unfair league. And the nature of the Scottish league is that, with Celtic usually over the hills and far away by this stage, teams in 2nd/3rd/4th have something to play for; teams in 5th/6th often have nothing to play for, so naturally can't get motivated. I'd be very interested to see how often league positions between 3rd and 6th have changed between 33 games and 38 games. I doubt it's all that many tbh.

About one in three, which borders upon normal. We've beaten the OF a handful of times post-split (five times, IIRC?), but at other times, Aberdeen or Dundee United or even Motherwell have been very good.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Our season comes down to one game now. The league story won’t change now, the story is, Hearts never recovered from the injury implosion. That won’t change even if we won every league game, it’s too late. It’s obvious that after that injury nightmare, Levein tried to tighten things and get us playing simple direct football but it was not anywhere near good enough. His big January signing Vanacek flopped and there are major question marks over his future. But the cup is a different story, the league season is all but forgotten if we can somehow turn over the Celtic juggernaut in the final, against all odds. A win would be a sensational moment in Hearts history. Equally if we get hammered as a result of not being brave enough, it will be very ugly for Levein.
