Killie should have had a penalty through Burke and they did have a few chances. Not nervous about the game as we have a chance to win but not as confident as previous meetings, only because of the lack of game time more than anything.

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hibs were poor and actually lucky yesterday. They are there for the taking. hearts are underdogs. That comes with the territory of being a division below and having played far fewer games than them. in all honesty, this cup getting played out is purely for Celtic’s benefit. If they were knocked out in the quarters, they would have pulled it with the league. No doubt about that. i expect hearts to put in a strong performance and hopefully win but I also won’t get on Neilson’s back if we don’t come through. The competition is a farce and our focus is the league this year in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will never set foot in Easter road ever again. Hibernian were one of six Premiership sides to vote against proposals aimed at overhauling the Scottish league pyramid - potentially condemning city rivals Hearts to the second tier. Tynecastle chief executive Ann Budge was heading up the task force examining plans to reconstruct the SPFL setup as the sides met remotely to discuss proposals. Hibs CEO Leeann Dempster was among those to inform the Hearts chief that the club would not be backing a move to revamp the leagues in an emotional Zoom call hosted by Aberdeen’s Dave Cormack, according to the Daily Record. Dempster previously stood down from the league reconstruction panel to focus on planning for the future of the game in Scotland in line with government guidance on the COVID-19 outbreak. It is understood the six clubs raised concerns about a cut in cash payments should the leagues be expanded, with moves to increase the number of teams in the division from 12 to 14 discussed. FWIW I didn't support my clubs decision, the season should have been mothballed and we all know why it wasn't. It was a certain 10 in a row bid. I would love to have seen a bigger top flight with us only playing each other home and away, just like the good old days. Alas those days are gone and money and tv dictate.

I don't really have a problem with that to be honest. The clubs should do community things together but other than that maintain a healthy disregard for each other. Budge and Dempster were getting a bit too cosy but hopefully that ended when Dempster was forced to backtrack and voted to demote Hearts. You could well be right, Barney, fans saying they wouldn't go back didn't help either. I agree with you to a point with the Dempster, Budge love in, that's women for you though haha.

If the club’s promotion bid is going to be derailed by putting in a massive effort to win the semi-final next Saturday, we should probably call it a day now and take up tiddlywinks. Winning the league and last season’s Cup should not be regarded as either/or. I realise the circumstances surrounding the semi-final are highly irregular, but the history books won’t pay any attention to that. The reality is that we’re 180 minutes away from winning our fourth piece of major silverware since the 1960s. I hope the club is going into this all guns blazing.

This excuse they have after yet another pumping of 'they wanted it more' is their way of comforting themselves and making it sound like there isn't a reason we've won more derbies at the shitpit than them. Robbie is a PHM, and he will make sure that the entire dressing room knows what we have since 1874, losing against them is simply unacceptable. I see another Hampden raping on the cards.

I think counting games where Neilson managed Dundee Utd is a bit disingenuous. His derby record as a manager is poor. Two defeats in 6 is ok but one win in 6 is very poor. The positive spin on his derby record as a manger is that in 2/3 of matches he doesn’t get beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not acceptable for a Hearts manager I’m afraid, we’re constantly told about his win record but can’t criticise him for this? He’s a PHM apparently shouldn’t he get them up for games against Hibs? United had the 6th biggest budget in the country last season, Hibs 5th, they were mid table and his team were flying, barely laid a glove on them. Having said all that I would take a draw and a win on penalties on Saturday 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
