Obviously would want a fully fit Kingsley playing but would be stupid to gamble with him with so many games coming up, especially if it’s a hammy he’s recovering from. 

All true.  Plenty enough to handle them regardless.  I dont see them having creative threat all tbh.

Oh no, Frank "resorts to type" - insults, then a complete lie and finally laughing emojies.  I do feel sorry that you are not able to have an adult communication.

Hope you feel better tomorrow afternoon.

 

 

Nope. You are not getting away with posting your negative garbage.

 

You have slandered our manager for the past two years and been a proven slaverer.

 

Just admit you were wrong. 

[Australis]

Just had a look over at mysisterismymaw.net to see what team they want to put out against us.

 

My god it looks awful, we can only blow it tomorrow with a careless wrong attitude or badly wrong formation.

 

Convinced we will beat them easily.

[Don Dan]

Hearts defender Stephen Kingsley is still a major doubt for the match due to a hamstring problem, although he did some training on Friday. “Stephen took part in training and he isn’t far away,” confirmed Neilson, who added that recent signing Lawrence Shankland is also still working towards peak fitness.

Saying that a manager is too defensive with tactics is NOT slander. 

Anyway, not going to continue communicating with a poster who can't post without insulting. 

It's such a shame you can't seem to accept a view that is not yours.

Must cause you much stress.

[HillmanHearts]

I like the look of Grant - but I know what we get with Boyce, Devlin & Haring.

So for this game I go for :

 

Gordon.

Smith, Halkett, Rowles, Cochrane.

Devlin, Haring.

Forest, Boyce, Mackay.

Shankland.

 

However, Robbie may stay with 3 at the back :

 

Gordon.

Sibbick. Halkett, Rowles.

Atkinson, Devlin, Haring, Cochrane.

Boyce. Mackay.

Shankland.

 

( Forest after 60 mins.).

 

It might be feck all like either of those tho 😊

 

Regards Hibs ; They will be ultra physical so we need to deal with that and I’m sure we will.

Cadden is decent as is Henderson.

If we “bring it” we win.

 

 

 

 

[Armageddon]

I’m hoping the away end will belt out a strong “**** the Tories” great hearing it loudly at Elland Road live on Sky 👌🏼

Goodison surely! 

[Салатные палочки]

Start Halliday. He'll score. 

[Halliphax]

Think control during the first half and ragdolling the legs out their midfield and forwards could be key if we decide to push during the second half, we've done it before and it worked a treat.

 

I'm watching it with Hibee pals tomorrow so whatever happens hope we rip the pish out of them so I can noise them up about still having their Boyle comfort blanket.

Ehh naw. Wtf has that to do with football?

Yes I'm a Tory and anti  SNP. I don't drag my political beliefs into football. Leave that to celtic.

I think Kingsley will not be fit. Just a gut feeling.

Boyce and Grant on the bench.

 

This team is perfect pretty much for me. I think there is an argument to Grant starting ahead of Devlin, but tbh wee Cammy will thrive in the derby chaos.

Cammy should be one of the first names on the team sheet if fully fit IMO. 

 

The boy was born for derby football.

Agree with this. Community club means the entire community (even the undesirable parts ) 

 

Seriously though, when you start mixing politics and football you end up in a pretty awkward and hypocritical area. See Celtic with the Palestine/Israel issues and Rangers tying up sectarianism and the union with their club identity. Its just poisonous. 

 

Would rather focus on skudding those hobo *******s instead  

[Fxxx the SPFL]

Let’s get stuck into these mutant bassas we’re not leaving fester road without three points 

[Kiwidoug]

This is must win in the sense that we don't want a 3 point gap behind the OF in early August.

 

1-0 would do but I'm expecting better.

Why are you bringing the SNP into it then?

[Dick Dastardly]

My guess for the team tomorrow 

 

                    Gordon 

        Sibbick Halkett Rowles 

Smith                                Cochrane 

                Haring Grant

Forrest                              Mackay 

                     Boyce

[indianajones]

Just turn up with urgency and do them senseless.

This, the right attitude and set up and it will be a comfy win.

 

Better players all over the park by a mile.

No way Shankland won’t start.

[Locky]

Some banger on P&B claiming he's ITK and Sibbick is out for tomorrow.

Hibs liquidated in 1991? Really?

Plus I think we will go 4 at the back  - especially if the baldy goofy is playing.

No Toby Sibbick please

Hopefully true as he is out weak link unfortunately. Just for this game though then he can come back in

I do like big Toby but games like tomorrow, he scares me. Had a bit of a mare IIRC vs them last time at Easter Road, albeit I'm sure he made a decisive block late on.

Oh dear.  Still waiting for you to admit you were slavering, which was proven by our 3rd place finish and cup final runners up spot.

 

I would have more tolerance with you if you admitted you were talking drivel.

 

Perhaps someone will give you a reality check over what Hearts can realistically achieve over your fantasy.

Another good reason to keep the two things apart. Give me 10 pints I'll talk football all night but never politics.

Yes, it just exaggerated his weaknesses.
 

He is a defensive liability at the best of times.

[Sertse]

Pre derby nerves hitting me hard this evening. Not really had them all week. We've got to go in with a winning attitude and really give it to them. I don't want the players to have the mentality of the hobos being weaker. I want us to make a statement tomorrow. FTH.

Watching the hammer throwers in the Games. Reminded me the derby is close

A bit harsh.  There are definitely improvements he can make and he is still young.  He is stronger than Smith going forward.
