A Shoreditch Heart Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 6 hours ago, JTJ said: In 1979/80 we were promoted after a 1-1 home draw with Berwick Rangers (Frank Liddell scored). We then won the league by beating Airdrie (Sandy Clark included) 1-0 with Frank Liddell's other goal that season. In Eric Brown's pub afterwards we all looked at each other and agreed - we're going straight back down, which was hardly Nostradamus-like a prediction 😄 yeah we were pretty awful that 79/80 season, but Liddell's header in the last minute against Airdrie on the final game was so good.

Yes, we did in 1895 - 1896 season, 4th with 11 wins and with Scottish Cup. There was 1 in 1894 - 1895 season, 15 wins and Heart of Midlothian is a champion. 20 draws in 1994, 44 games.

We shouldn't settle for less. GD worth another point at the moment. Even if someone went on a freakish run you'd imagine somewhere around the 55 point mark will win the title.

Swimmer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Using existing points per game, with Dunfermline being our closest challengers they have 24 points out of 14 games (1.71 point per game)- if this is projected to have similar return of results would give Dunfermline an expected points total of 46 points over he 27 games. Even if they improved to 2.3 points per game for the remaining 13 games would give them 54 points (highly unlikely they will win every single remaining game) Using points per game for Hearts we would project to have 64 points at a current points per game average of 2.36 (again highly unlikely we will win every game). If we dropped to 1.9 points per game for the remainder of the season we would finish with 58 points. So allowing for slippage from us and Dunfermline to have a fair improvement then we will win this league. Reality is I believe that we win 8 of our remaining fixtures and we win the title Yes, all ifs and buts....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In all likelihood, we'd win it at some point before we get another 28 points due to the challengers dropping points too.
