Exactly. It's hard enough without passing up a glorious chance to improve our position relative to the others around us. I don't go along with the "turns out to be not a bad result" brigades pish.

Bonus for us today with those results.

Well done both Livingston and Motherwell.

It's not a bonus. It would have been a bonus if we had won yesterday.

Today has certainly put a point in Dingwall into perspective.

 

Would love another crazy 1985/86 season. 

 

If so, at least we've started well this time.

 

I'll never give up the dream.

 

Never.

It really doesn't. A point in Dingwall isn't good enough.

Livi went back to basics playing total defence and playing a midfielder as a forward. 

 

Sounds like how almost every team played against us last season.

Aberdeen, certainly. I predicted they would be bottom 6 under Glass. He'll be gone by January imo. 

 

I keep hearing from Glass and others at Aberdeen in the press about how they're trying something different, etc, blah, blah... what is that exactly? They never seem to outline exactly what they are doing differently up there.

 

Being shite again after their wee period without much major competition under McInnes maybe, during which they managed half the number of cups St J won in one season?

Got a feeling it’s going to be a far tighter league this year than it’s been for a while.

Good point. 👍

 

Perhaps the 4x a season might bear fruit. 

 

Looks to me like there are, on their day, 10 pretty decent teams in the league.

 

OF v. The rest is 6 wins, a draw and 3 defeat in 10. That's shite compared to most seasons.

 

Regardless, let us dreamers, dream you miserable buggers. 😄

Celtic have a problem if they don't start fast. 

 

Thier style is almost like the blitzkrieg in ww2, hit them hard and fast. 

When it works, it works well but if they don't score and the game gets bogged down then they run out of steam. 

They have a problem, but as you say will probably hit a bit of form and rattle of 7/8 wins in a row. 

 

Rangers seem worse with crowds back!

 

If we can win our two home games we'll be dong well.

 

Aberdeen, rangers and Hibs all dropped home points this weekend. 

 

Despite folk calling the lesser teams shite and writing them off, every game is tough. 

 

To call Celtics style of play blitzkrieg is quite a cheek tbh 😂 but each to there own, they play far better under Ange, than they did under lennon. 

 

There is a clear style of play, they attack teams and press high and are very much a possession based team. 

 

There style of play like you said is high risk, high reward, but there goal difference speaks for itself, they dominated the game in large spells at ibrox, the problem they have is recruitment and having players currently at the club, that simply don't want to be at Celtic anymore. 

 

I would certainly like a coach that plays that style of play, at Hearts one day. 

 

Every game is tough you're absolutely spot on Smith 👍, but here's the thing when teams make it tough we have to match them, second balls we win, individual battles we win. 

 

If we can do this and not every game will be a battle, then I'm confident Hearts will come out victorious 9 times out of 10. 

 

But the game we played in yesterday wasn't a battle, it was two teams trying to play football,both attacking and the goals we gave away after being in front for 2 mins wasn't good enough.

Stephen Glass the good honest Scottish ex pro takes Aberdeen job with zero management experience having been a youth team coach in America…. Scottish Media’s reaction is to give him time talk about bedding in new players. Cathro Stendal to name a few take the Hearts job and it’s ridicule from all quarters.

Wonder when the last time Rangers Celtic Hearts Hibs and Aberdeen all played separate fixtures in Scotland and all failed to win. Must be a long time ago!

Yesterday was frustrating, but i would say we have been the most impressive side out of all the clubs so far this season. The Livi result does make Saturday a bit tougher but should also focus the players to realise that no game is easy in this league. Win the next 2 home games and we are right on Track for a good season.

Good post

So because the tims and the huns don't win that means we should win every game???? Please tell me what sort of logic made you work that one out 

[Morgan]

My point is, Hearts should be beating the wee teams, in the hope that our nearest rivals slip up.  As 3 or 4 of them did this very weekend.

Losing to Livingston isn’t good enough. Drawing at home to Motherwell or St Mirren isn’t good enough. Losing at home to St Johnstone isn’t good enough.

 

Shit happens bud. Unfortunately there are always two teams on the pitch - every single game. It’s annoying but it’s also just a fact.

[Rocky jamboa]

Watching the dons game on sportscene and frustrating we didn't beat them at tynie. They're bang average. 

 

Drawing that game is more annoying to me than the draw yesterday as they were there for the taking but we sat back at 1 up.

Bottom 6 Broony and Aberdeen don't own any referees.

 

Just no' fair.

[Watt-Zeefuik]

Frustrating that we could be clear atop the table if we'd taken our chances a bit better in the three draws, but we're still on 2 pts/game, which is fine sailing in most leagues.

 

But we've been the better team in each of those three draws, which means we have a shot of breaking through and having a find run here soon. Can't wait much longer for it though.

Nah honest mate who's trolling, it's quite funny tbh, that's some said last week that Hearts players and Robbie would be disappointed about not beating Hibs etc etc so i quess they will be happy with the draw this weekend against County.

 

Again forbid the fan that wants to see his club doing well, and how dare he question and be disappointed, but hey Robbie and the boys are allowed too 🤔 I'm actually starting too wonder if some posters have a spilt personality, if they do then fair play 👍. 

 

But how can they hound and be annoyed with poster's 

 

That 1.we have one of the best squads in years that i could name 4/5 players that wouldn't look out of place, playing for either Rangers or Celtic. 

 

2. They are ambitious supporters and clearly just want to see the club achieve it's full potential. 

 

 

3.

When you consider all things it doesn't matter how other teams play or how many they win, my focus is on Hearts and what we do, so it's natural to be disappointed as a supporter, if you're team doesn't win, all people have said it's a missed opportunity and they are 100% spot on how many weeks will Hibs, Aberdeen, Rangers, Celtic drop points are these people thick!! Why does it have to spelled out to them feck me. 

 

Hearts are a big club, with that comes expectations, I couldn't give a rats ass how the other teams get on, this feeling good because other teams drop points is bollocks, when you have you're opponent on the ropes rocked, you go for the Ko, no fecking about. 

 

Honestly man pathetic we laughed at Hibs last week celebrating a draw against us, yet this week we are because other teams dropped points, you couldn't make it up man.

We should win every game irrespective of what the "derogatory term" or the "other derogatory term" do. 

I've been following Hearts lone enough to know that's not going to happen, but it doesn't make yesterday's result any more acceptable (for me).
