Heres a quandary. Its my daughters bloody bday party. Arranged pre fixture announcement.  Ill see the first half before 10 wee lassies arrive to be taken up the toon.

 

So how do i likely lads the game? I dont have sky. I usually watch on the sky app wi my dads login.  How do i somehow record the game for later??????

 

Gather the wee lassies round the TV. Dish out fizzy juice and cake and teach them Hearts songs. Just pretend it's all part of the party.

 

It's my niece's birthday today, so feeling your pain.

you’re sorted lads. Just take them all to the same venue, claim it’s been double booked and then you can take it in turns to watch the game/pass on key info whilst the other one gets flayed alive by all their female relatives and acquaintances for the monumental party disaster. Worth it.

I hate all this arrogant chat about how many we're going to put past them etc.  It's a recipe for coming back to bite us.

 

I always believe Hibs will get beaten, no matter who they're playing.  But when it comes to the Derby, I get very nervous and today is no different.  They'll be well up for it, you can guarantee and if there's even a hint of complacency in our ranks, we'll pay for it big time.  So let's lose the `it'll be a rout` chat and just concentrate on how the match really plays out.

I agree.  No way we will score more than 8 against them today.    Just a tight 6-0 victory with a Shankland double in the first 10 mins.

Download the app and watch on the bus

Do loan signings go through quicker than transfers?? I see Clarkson from Liverpool joined Aberdeen yesterday and he played yesterday. So could Boyle play??

[savage]

No he is not a loan and he won't play today

Will be watching it from Grandee McDonells Golf de Sur Tenerife. Hope my flight back tomorrow is a guid one!! 3-1 Jambos, Shankland & Forrest to get on the scoresheet. Halliday to feature at some point, he seems to excel against this mob!

I agree.

We should win if things don't go against us, like a soft red card or a couple of in match injuries. Remember how they tried to kick us off the park at Hampden, with the same referee allowing it to go on for too long.

We'll certainly have to play better and with more intensity than the first half last week. I'm optimistic, but not arrogantly sure of victory.

Have to agree. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to the derby and glad when they are over. Reading the chat, nothing wrong with be confident, but that shower will be well up for it today make no mistake. 

 

We need to be on it from the first whistle, our slow starts  could be our undoing otherwise. I think it will be a close game and not much between the teams on the day.

I wish I was as optimistic as most on this thread. It's a derby after all and they don't always go the way they're meant to. We need to be at it from the first whistle. Lets not give them any kind of a start please!

The stats would suggest they usually go our way

Agree with this. I fear today will be the day that slow starts beats us. They will be giving it 100% from the whistle and probably give McKay a few kicks early on.

Discount their last minute win at St J that they played awful in and they’ve had a pretty poor start to the season.

 

This is not a game for us to be starting slow and I’d be really disappointed if we let them settle early and get a foothold. They are there to be beat and if we score first they might well crumble and give up a few goals. That’s what Celtic would do and what Rangers would do when playing a vulnerable team away. There is no justifiable reason for us to do any different.

When rather than if Ricardo. The lad Newell is a constant thug, ref needs to be on top of situation. 

Looking forward to seeing Grant up against him.  Get the impression Grant likes a tasty tackle.

I'm in Blackpool with my daughter this weekend, on Sunday at the pool for 3 hours between 12-1500.

I'll miss everything. 

I've came to terms with it. 

 

Also in Egypt over New year, I miss the new year derby. 

 

Tragic.

I don’t think hibs are going to be as bad as people are making them out to be. That being said, we should have too much for them & come home with the 3 points. 
This game is all about us applying ourself, having the right attitude & taking our chances when they arrive. Turn up thinking we have won before the game starts is a recipient for disaster. Hibs will be up for this game after last year, so we better be up for it too.

"Hearts friendly private establishment boozer" 

 

Do any of these exist in the Pilton area? 

 

[I had planned to do my usual thing of listening to it on the radio.] 

[Sooks]

We will come flying our the traps to day 
 

How ever we set up it seems likely that we will have some one of the quality of Boyce Forrest or Grant on the bench

 

If Kingsley and Devlin are fit we are in a good place because we are a really good team when every one is fit but missing three players of the quality of Beni Devlin and KIngsley would hurt any team in our division out side of the big quality filled squads in Glasgow 

[Bull's-eye]

Away from home, so a point will be a decent return.

 

Will make JKB more fun for a while as well.

 

Expecting a very tough game totally ruined by an incompetent arsehole on the whistle unfortunately. Standard SPFL fare these days. . . 🥺

A point.... 😳   mon the 3 points and another derby debut hero,,, forrest or shankland 👍

[Jambos_1874]

They always start strongly in derbies and I just hope we can weather the storm a bit without conceding, and then absolutely obliterate them. Really hope Robbie's gone for an attacking line up today.

[Holyrood_Hearts]

Say this repeatedly but we have to start well today. All too often (excluding the SC semi final) we take 45 mins to get going.

In hospitality for this one. More hungover than I intended. No pints till 11am. Into them from the first minute today. No ****ing mercy.

A point will be OK. 

We can win this tho. 

 

7iar incoming either way. 

 

If we concede a goal and/ or don't win by about 3 jkb will be fun. 

 

Look at the state of some after last weeks 2-1 win.

Would love a Hearts win but can sense a 0-0.  Seen so many over the years.

[Horatio Caine]

Derbies have a habit of producing unlikely matchwinners.  Will we have one today?  I have a wee sneaky feeling that our Euan Henderson may just come off the bench to be a hero.

I would love that for the laddie. Has always looked like a confidence boost would do him the world of good. He's got the ability.

A draw is a more statistically common result than a Hibs win right enough but the most common out come is a Hearts victory
