RobNox Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 2 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: It can happen. There's been at least one occasion when the bottom team at the split has won all five of their games after it. St Johnstone may be poor, but none of the rest of the bottom six are much better, and hibs are possibly in the worst form of all of them. All of the games in the bottom six will be ones where either team could conceivably win. Confidence could be a huge factor, and if St Johnstone are able to shrug off yesterday as something that can happen when you play the top teams, it's not out of the question they could get a result or two quickly and then go on a charge. If hibs start the post-split games badly (hopefully off the back of a hammering from us ay Hampden) and the gap goes from eight points to about four or five quickly, they'll be absolutely shitting themselves! In their most recent games against the rest of the bottom 6 they've picked up 2 points, that was from goalless draws against the bottom 2.

What goes on in their heads and what do they see when we play them? Barrie Mckay,Atkinson, Haring & Boyce are all hoofing cloggers right enough. Muppets! Them playing flair football while we play hoofball is their comfort blanket when things are bad. Except unlike our supposed comfort blanket, the 5-1 game, theirs is all in their imagination. On top of that Rocky and Porteous are two of the most industrial, hammer throwing, hoof merchants in the league.

It was absolutely massive for us. If they'd lost they'd have shrugged their shoulders and pointed to the huge points gap between them and 4th. All I feel is even more worried about next week when Hearts actually have something to play for other than pride. They now smell blood. Yesterday was a chance to show them and us that we weren't pushovers. We failed miserably. He / she made a good point. We didnt really have anything to play for as such. apart from winning the Derby . However we def do next week. Incentive is to get to the SC final. HIbs should be shitting themselves.

True, but I think Paulo got us to lay off them at 4-1 perhaps not being aware of the 7-0 game and the significance of avenging that. I remember a few years ago Real Madrid hammering an opponent 10-2 and the opposing manager complaining that Madrid had humiliated them as they were reduced to 9 men while 4-0 down. It appears that there is an unspoken rule in Spain that in the scenario when you are well ahead against a team that has been reduced in numbers, you don't try to humiliate them, just see the game out and presumably the opponents will also just play the game out and accept the defeat. Maybe that mindset also applies in Portugal, hence Paulo deciding not to humiliate Hibs when the game was already over as a contest and Hibs were down to 10 men. All just speculation on my part, but what I do know is that if JJ had been manager that day and we were 4-1 up against a 10 man Hibs with 40 minutes to play, he'd have been bringing off a defender for a striker and going for the jugular. He played in the 7-0 defeat, so this would have been his chance for redemption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS98 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I have a feeling Saturday could be a big score line. That was us playing quite a conservative shape and not really giving much of a ****. We also just played keep-ball for the last half an hour. I’d also say that’s about as good as Hibs could muster. A couple of tweaks with formation and personnel and we should be absolutely hammering that rabble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have invested so much time effort and thought processes caring too much about….. our players, how much we pay them, how old they are, what club they came from, Our main stand How much it cost Who designed it Who built it Wether or not you can see the Castle or not from it Wether the escalators work or not What we are doing with the empty space Our playing surface What we do with it to make more money out of it Listening to and believing Sergey Listening to and believing Green Ginger Creating fake accounts on here The list is endless. Any Hobo reading this please for the love of god take this as quality advice. Support your club. Dont rip it off by buying a cheap season tickets just because you can. Stop stealing I Pads at charity events. Concentrate all your efforts on your manager, your team and what is going on at Easter Road because quite honestly it appears to be a complete shit show. And thee most important thing. Concentrate on your shitey wee club more because whilst you have being doing all of the above we are now miles ahead of you. ****ing miles and we are only going further and further ahead. See you at Hampden ya ****ing mutants. What they also fail to mention whilst making excuses for 2012 is that when they finally got promoted from the 2nd tier, they spent more than any other club in that division and ran at a loss. Financial doping I think the phrase is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the very reason so many old lags were disappointed we didn’t keep piling it on in the 2012 final. 4-1 up with 40 minutes to go against 10 men. It should have been then. 👍👍If you didn’t experience 1973 you haven’t got a clue as to what it felt like. And the feeling has never completely gone away.

And the feeling has never completely gone away. I was mid teens at the time in a Mostly Hibs extended family. It was fecking traumatic. I still replay it in my head from time to time, not so much the game itself, just how absolutely shite it felt. Same with Dens, but Dens was worse IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
