Jugular is the wrong word probably , however point remains , would you of complained we should be nice if we’d won 10-1 in 2012 or 15-0 v cowdenbeath? I think double-figures does the job nicely 👍🏻 But a big difference between a Cup final against your rivals and the level the ladies are playing at.

I was at the Cowdenbeath game and happily settled for 10-0 and indeed took no great pleasure in the last goal or two. Obviously Hibs are different and I have hated watching us taking our foot of the pedal on more than one occasion. 24-0 proved nothing except a total mismatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my daughters dream to play for them just like it was mine to play for the famous. She's a cracking wee player and plays against Hearts at the start of September so I hope she impresses. Fantastic. Tell her Kiwidoug is delighted with the worldwide progress of womens football and delighted that Hearts are now right into it. I wish her all the best for the future.

1971fozzy Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 To be fair there’s a point were some sporting integrity comes in. I have no interest in the women’s game only to wish them luck etc but I must admit to crack on and get 24 is a bit - off ? to utterly humiliate like that in a cup competition will destroy the other side and at that level doesn’t sit very well with me. I wouldn’t want the Hearts ladies to be on the receiving end of that if they were playing (eg) Arsenal ladies.

RudiHMFC Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 After watching the goals there's nothing else you could really do but continue to score unless you just passed the ball around the back for an hour, the raith players weren't trying to stop goals going in.

Dunks Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just for some context, Hearts Women play in the Premier 2 and currently lie second. The Premier 1 has 8 teams and is currently led by Glasgow City. In the top league, Glasgow, Celtic and Hibs are the strongest teams, with Hibs also in the Champions League this year. It's pretty tight in Hearts league with a target of promotion to the top tier. Hamilton, Partick Thistle and Glasgow Girls are all strong in this league and Hearts drew with Kilmarnock last week. Below the two Premier leagues, we have regional division 1 i.e. North and South. Raith Rovers currently lie bottom of the North division. Below that, division 2 is split into 4 regions, with several colts and B teams. There is also a Highlands and Islands league. The Cup will always bring big wins for some teams as mentioned earlier in the thread. Good luck to the team for the rest of the league and in the next round of the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nice to have a winning team in maroon. May go along and watch sometime - assume it’s a bit less than &29/ticket! I take the opposite view. Far more offensive to stop trying and take pity upon your opponent. Objectives of the game are to entertain and score goals IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 One thing is absolutely certain. The womens game is absolutely here to stay without a shadow of out. Really pleased that Hearts are right into it now. Our neighbours grasped the mettle well before us and have done really well. I will be very surprised if were not seeing 10,000 crowds to see big Cup derbies within the next 2 to 3 years. We still have a lot to do to catch up with them but we will do it.

The White Cockade Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 this was all a bit Mickey Mouse given the standard of the players Not sure Raith should have been in the competition considering that Hearts are hardly world beaters themselves but were miles ahead of Raith but to be fair if Hearts had stopped at 10 they would have just had to pass it between themselves in their own half or go up the pitch, not shoot, and come back again for 45 minutes that would have been even worse for the Raith players I reckon and would have been completely farcical and even more disrespectful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
