NB GIN Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We are at a huge disadvantage here, they are match fit and playing well so big favourites in my book. The whole thing is a farce anyway stop the league but kept the cup going 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This is their best ever chance of beating us. They're "flying" in the league (read: beat some average teams, and had some crap results against other average teams) and we still haven't kicked off yet. We are in the league below them, and their hopes will be high. There is only one outcome, and we all know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our side and our club should be up for this because of all that’s went on more than any game I can ever remember. The only thing that worries me is this is our game when we went to Easter Road and smashed them during the mercer takeover. Hampden they won’t beat us. At the very least we win on Pens.

Rudy T Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 This is a defining moment for both managers. Ross I don't think has been fully accepted down verminville way and losing to a lower league team who have barely kicked a ball in 6 months won't go down well, losing to Hearts won't go down well add them together, lose, and they'll run him out of town. He's expected to win this and Hibs will be big favourites. For Robbie it's a chance to put the last cup fiasco behind him, that money spinning comment will haunt him forever. Smith, Harring, Naismith, Boyce and Gordon are better than anything they have it's the rest of the team I worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaShango Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Never really got the fans who say refuse to play. We are two games away from winning a trophy!

Hibs fans are terrified they don't win this one. I agree and having watched them a few times this season they haven't impressed me. I think their two biggest wins have been against two poor sides. Will be interesting how they get on against Rangers this weekend. Looking at the two teams, what I will say is I will be pretty disappointed if we don't turn them over.

Doc Rob Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have to admit I’m not looking forward to this. We were given a semi v Hibs. They are, though they would refuse to admit it, still smarting from 4-0, let alone 5-1. The replay they won against us a few years ago will have helped with that, as will their having managed to win it, but they will still be desperate to put one over on us. Now, thanks to the SFA and SPFL, we have been added a massive handicap in the form of demotion, a smaller budget and Hibs starting their season two months earlier. To win would be fantastic, but I don’t want to have to take a defeat on the chin when Hibs have been handed such a huge advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS98 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If the roles were reversed what would we be thinking? Cricket score. If Hibs are honest this is their best and probably only chance to avenge one of the humiliation derbies at Hampden. In the league below Financially handicapped Change of entire management team Lost a host of our ‘big’ players Forced to disrupt training schedule Will have hardly kicked a ball competitively in 7 months. If they don’t hammer us they must be disappointed. However if we win? You’d have to put it up there with 4-0/5-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing is while we will definitely be big underdogs simply because of the lack of match practice, our squad is looking much better balanced and leaner right now. It's a cup game meaning anything can happen. Or rather it's a cup game vs Hibs at Hamden which means we'll gub them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look at it like that DR, rather think of it like this: They win - OK, it'll hurt, but they will know deep-down that we were fighting with one hand tied behind our back. They will question themselves if they could've beat us with a level playing field. That will eat away at them, whether they publicly admit it or not. We win - under the circumstances, this could be more 'special', and cause more psychological damage to them, than even 1-5 did. Think about it, they have been handed every possible advantage to do us over and get some sort of 'revenge' for 4-0 and 1-5. If they can't they will have nowhere left to hide. No 'financial doping', no 'players they couldn't afford', no 'Lady Haig Poppy Fund', nothing, zero, the square root of **** all. They would finally have to face up to the fact that they are just inferior in every respect. It would RUIN them. Completely. There would be no way back after that. Don't get me wrong, I can't/won't accept being beaten by them under any circumstances, but I honestly can't see a downside to playing this game - win or lose.

Beast Boy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Good to see people starting to get their heads around this. Thankfully we are now past the “should it go ahead” or “we should withdraw” stuff. It’s going ahead, whether it should be or not. Since it is going ahead, we now need to think about how important it is. We are two games away from a cup. With everything that has been done to us, to win the Scottish Cup would be a bigger GIRUY than all the boycotts or off the field campaigns we could organise. Winning it would be something back. Finally taking something back from Scottish football after they’ve ****ed us over so many times. Not a hand out, not a pay off, just Hearts going out there and taking what we deserve for ourselves. **** letting those mutants have another shot at the Scottish Cup. The fans of this club have given so much, it’s time HMFC gave a little back, and the Scottish Cup is a great place to start. I don’t want extra tickets, refunds or vouchers for pies, I want silverware, and the three teams left in this competition are teams that I want to beat more than most. Time for a bit of payback, and we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves. It’s time to start dishing out the second prizes to our competitors now.
