We'll have 3 away games. As 3 of the top 6 have played 17 home games and 3 have played 16, they'll give the former 2 home games and the latter 3.  We're in the former group, so we'll have 2 home games and will be away to somebody for a third time.

Ibrox again. 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers for the information, bud 👍

[No Idle Talk]

I love Heart of Midlothian so much. I have had such a crap week this week. I have been so down. Life has felt like a black hole. Then I watched the match today. The pride I felt in Hearts and the way they played. It was great. And the atmosphere the Jambos created. It really lifted my heart. I actually feel happy right now. And it is because of what Hearts did.

 

I am so proud to love the 'men in maroon' as Laurie Dunsire always calls them.

Big shout out to Ellis Simms today as well. Unfortunate to miss his chance in the first half but the lad had more strength than the entire hibs team put together throughout the match

Yep Mark DV, just ask Hibs defenders if they are looking forward to facing Simms ( nightmare comes to mind ) next week, he is invaluable to how we play, goals are being spread through the team, he pulled their defenders all over the place making space for others, he never stops. It takes a great run for a great pass, that is what he did for McKay, wee bit unlucky with his "dink", but I can see that move being a goal next week. Keep it up big man, Well done all.

[Disser Pointon]

Possibly not a bad thing that we lost the first goal today, if the same thing was to happen next week the players know not to panic.

Doesn't get much better than that does it? Secured third place, put them in the bottom 6, messed with their morale for the semi. Quite a day.

Haha okay, cheers for the answer..  watched it from the Netherlands, just couldn't make out the words on hearts tv.. but my words were, and no lie.. "That song is gonna come back to haunt them" 👌🏻👌🏻

 

I'm back for next week 💪🏻

😄. My mate said the same. The first two he put over the bar he was just finding his range. Halliday was very restrained in his celebrations at the first I thought- he must have felt like getting right in their faces but as with all things Jambo stayed classy.

The back heel for Halliday's second goal 

 

Whoever managed to convince him to come to Hearts deserves a medal, the fact that he has extended his deal is beyond fantasy.  I said it to a mate at the match today, he is head and shoulders above anyone else on the park.  

Once he got into the game he was superb. Sees things mere mortals don’t

On page 31, there's a young Hibby's vlog which includes their support on the concourse getting pumped up for the match and singing with gusto a wee ditty containing the words ... wait for it ...

 

"And if you know your history, it's enough to make (blah-blah-blah)."

 

This mass delusion begs the question: just how thick do you have to be to follow Hibs?

 

Some definitions:-

 

Thick: What a person has to be to follow Hibs with research ongoing as to just how thick

 

Thicko: Any typical individual Hibby

 

Thickness: The dimensions of any two short planks used to describe a Hibby

 

Thickishness & Thickocity: A mental state demonstrated by the average Hibby, and often by Hibs players. c.f. 'Doing an O'Connor' (can substitute Griffiths, Riordan, Sproule, and many, many more)

 

Thickification: The gradual degenerative process gone through by the vast majority of Hibs fans, thought to be irreversable

 

Thickaciousness: See Thickishness & Thickocity

Stay strong pal life can be very difficult at times and we all have struggles . I recently lost my Dad my best friend too and a diehard Jambo  so I am were you are at the moment. However yesterday lifted me as I know Dad would have been with me. You take care and remember that there is always help out there.

I didn't see it at the game as I was up in the God's in section T, but saw it great on Sportscene.

sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling mate. Life is hard at times  but delighted to know that the Jambos gave you a bit of light yesterday.

 

Don’t know you but happy to speak with you or even just listen if you need to offload to someone. DM if you want.

He was finding pockets of space and was linking up well. I think the Simms chance put the fear of god into them then they retreated to try and just counter attack us. Which was a bad move cause we kept possession well later in the first half.

Before Wright went off we had the Simms one on one with Macey and Atkinson hitting the post/bar with his header. So no it didn't disrupt them to much. Our goal(s) were coming, and they did.

Simms is going to click in front of goal, hopefully next season, in maroon.

 

I hope we sign a decent stiker on a permanent deal. Loan signings are ok if they are being sent out to try and prove something but look at Woodburn and how he has performed apart from a couple of decent games.

 

As I said Simms has a nuisance value but his accuracy in hitting the target is very poor.

 

I watched him in the warm-up and his shooting at goal is very poor. He does draw defenders because of his size and he created the chance for Halliday to score our first goal. However when you look at the chance he had when he was clean through on goal and he puts it wide that tells you a bit about his scoring ability.

 

On countless occassions this season when shooting at goal he seems to have a knack of shooting straight at the goalkeeper.

 

I would hope that we could do much better than him.

I think a few hundred of the fans in hospitality in the main and gorgie stands missed Kingsley's goal as there were loads of empty seats at that point.

Glad the game gave you a lift. Hope that the things getting you down get better, remember there are sources of support available, whether that's of an emotional nature such as the samaritans, or a more practical nature such as citizens advice, debt relief charities, etc.  Help is out there, and reaching out for it isn't a sign of weakness or something to feel ashamed or embarrassed about, quite the opposite.

Boyce done that for him with his first goal.

I've been pretty vocal in my criticism of Boyce but ever since dropping back to number 10 and watching him throw the hush gesture at the hobos I've got a new found love for him.

 

//Edit - Cochrane was doing it as well according to a photo further up the thread, delightful amount of brotherhood in our team.

I felt REALLY happy yesterday. I know that there'll be days in the future when the black dog will pay a visit, but I hope I can remember the happiness I felt yesterday when that may come to pass.
