Wee Mikey Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Apologies if this is a bit early, but this seems, for so many reasons, like one of our biggest derby matches since the 2012 final. I can't remember who retorted, "The next game" in response to being asked about which was the most important game; but it is, for sure, a 'truism'. No more so than our next home game v Hibs. The same applied to our opening 4 games of this season. We got Celtic at, arguably, the best time, but had to lay to rest the St Midden away 'hoodoo' plus bossing Dun U away to lay down a marker (hats off to the travelling support). For the Dons game, we were a wee bit thin but maintained our unbeaten league run in a game that could've gone either way. So, with (as far as I'm aware) no injury or suspension issues, some very interesting new signings, and a couple of weeks training, I'm confident that Robbie and the coaching staff will put out a very strong team with a decent bench to boot. I honestly cannot predict the starting 11, but can predict a score: 5-1. Seriously; it is written in the stars. Their goal will be a consolation courtesy of a Boyle dive that'll be cheered ironically by us as per at Fester Road whilst the Hibby support file out early. What's more, whether winning by a long way, or thrashing Hibs 0-0, I hope that Robbie reads the game and learns not to wait too long to make a change. Whatever our starting 11, there'll be players on our bench with fresh legs who'll be either able to win the game for us, or win it by an even bigger margin. ❤❤G❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 3-1 Boyce, Haring and Gnando. Same side that started against Dundee United. Other key events include Boyle finally getting booked for diving and Nisbet going off injured. Hibs season in tatters and the Hearts go marching on.

Bluesy1874 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I believe Boyle is a doubt after going off injured for the Aussies the other day. Both teams have started the season well which will make for a cracking atmosphere. Hopefully a comfortable home win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst agreeing that both teams have started well, it is clear that Hibs have had an easy introduction to this season as compared to us. So long as we play to our strengths and let them worry about us, then we really ought to come out on top. Play them at 'football', rather than 'hoofball'. I honestly think that we have better players all over the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabienleclerq Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Some are over confident, they have started the season well winning games without being spectacular. We bossed united but still gave away several chances and didn't create a huge amount despite our dominance. Will be a tough game and I'd take a shitey 1-0.

1953 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Gotta go with 3 points to us. I'd really love to give them a doing but in reality it'll be close and 2-1 to us and top of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 On a 'side issue'; could anybody who has spare tickets for this derby match please either pass them on to known fellow Hearts fans or make them available for re-sale via the Ticket Office? Witnessing a home game, nominally a 'sell out', and yet with numerous empty seats (including 2 right beside me in PR) whilst others are missing out makes no sense to me. I've always managed to pass on spare tickets. I'd SO LOVE to see a proper 'sell-out' with NO empty seats. I well know that on the day there'll always be folks unable to make it, for whatever reason; but please ... if you have a spare ticket, then do what you can to put another Jam Tart bum on a seat.

Samuel Camazzola Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It has the hallmarks of 1997. Hibs sitting top of the table after a few games, then the first derby of the season come along... Terry's winner knocked them off their perch and sent them tumbling down the table to an eventual relegation. A certain cup win also followed... A repeat please!

Boab Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Seen a thing on Farcebook about the last time we played Hibs when both teams were first and second in the league. I done a bit of digging on London hearts and couldn’t see one after 1st Jan 1958. A mental stat if true. Over to you stattos to prove me wrong. That’s top league btw.

1971fozzy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Keep Boyle quiet and hope the referee is strong and I’m confident. He is a cheat pure and simple. We should be confident and they will be too. A noisy Tynecastle and in and at them from the off will hopefully bring an early goal and take it from there. Any win would do. I’ll be putting a fiver on a Souttar goal. Set pieces could be key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
