Is anyone going to the 1874 bar to watch the game?

 

Any idea who the ex players will be for the panel q and a?

Still not fully confident.

 

Beating a team that's terrible away from home 5-0 is one thing.

 

But going into a derby away from home with questionable away form ourselves is still worthy of concern.

 

If we go into the game with the right attitude and work rate we'll be fine. As long as we want it more then our quality will hopefully do the rest.

This in spades

I don’t think there’s any doubt we’ll have the right work rate and attitude. This squad has got that in spades.

 

We just need to keep doing what we’ve been doing.

 

We’ll be fine 😎

Anything other tham a right royal humping will not suffice.

That's a great place to be, especially with the ball playing ability within the squad just now.

Gorgie Rules

Lee Johnson won’t get the sack no matter the score…..

 

 

Lee Johnson will be issued a summary of his positive achievements throughout the process which will allow him to take up employment with another employer who will subsequently benefit more than Hibernian will from his undoubted talents as a ‘footie’ manger guiding young adults to achieve their dreams through his guidance and influence.

 

He’ll then turn into a dairy milk and eat himself!!

 

[Victorian]

Any sort of progression to the next round will do but it would be nice to do them comfortably.  Not even bothered by how many,  just to swan through without them laying a glove on us.

 

If the game pans out to give a chance of smashing them then great.  

[boag1874]

They’re getting it dry

[boag1874]

Also as an aside

 

Win or Lose I’ll still be Robbie in, but if it goes to Penalties under no circumstances should he be allowed to continue for the sheer amount of stress it would cause 😂

[Dalry]

If it’s a draw does it go to a replay? Presuming so.

 

Wednesday will have been a massive confidence booster and hopefully we’ll win fairly comfortably. Unchanged team providing Sibbick is ok.

[the sub goalie]

No replay I believe, extra time and penalties if required.

Here we go! I'm sure he will have his coaching team primed with instructions and the good thing is whoever plays knows the system we deploy. He has had a few rammys with Don Robertson previously so might save his stress levels being in the stand! Anyway just win please, don't care how just do the business and empty these tramps and end their season. 

 

I did notice last night we had an interpreter on the bench for Oda who Robbie gave instructions to when he was coming on so presume he doesn't speak English yet. 

[Maple Leaf]

We're the better team. We're the favourites to win.

 

I think we'll win, especially if the referee allows us to keep 11 men on the field.

[Cruyff]

If we play to the best of our abilities we'll be too good for them but it's a derby and it's a cup match so we can ill afford to be over confident. 

 

                  Gordon 

        Hill Sibbick Rowles 

M.Smith                   Cochrane

            Devlin Snodric

    Shankland            McKay

                  Ginnelly 

 

4-0 Hearts and Lee Johnson to get his books.

Apart from the obvious that will be the side imo. Only thing he might do is shoehorn Kingsley in somewhere but hard to see where. The back 3 definitely need to stay the same and Cochrane must play.

I know Hibs are shite but playing a boy with a broken leg in goal is probably over confidence imo.

Is there VAR? 

[Sooks]

Probably need to rely on these pinpoint long cross field passes , because that pitch is a total shambles . They should probably lay an artificial one if they are so incapable of keeping a pitch in a professional condition

Robbie should not be getting involved in these petty nonsense spats on the touchline. One of the bookings was arguing over a where a free-kick on the half way line should be taken. The other one was equally not needed. 
Speed of subs and changes in tactics are already an issue with us. It doesn’t help Robbie being in the stand. 
Fine margins sometimes count.

If we take the passion out of the game Robbie won't get into these spats, would that suit you better?

[mickycameron98]

No replays this year again I believe! Played to a finish. Question is though, is there VAR in the Scottish cup?

Don’t think so, I think it’s only on viaplay. I subscribed to premier sports a couple of times then cancelled after Hearts got out out of whichever cup it was. I’m sure it was monthly subs. 

[Dick Dastardly]

Shankland to score at least 2. Hearts to win. 

Wee Lee to cry. 

Hibs do a lap of honour after keeping the score to single figures and winning the pre match singing. 

Things get thrown. 

Hibs are falling apart, again. 

(i was going to say something about shagging their sisters but i don't want a thread ban)

Would be great if a Hearts player finally hit a Robbo 20 goals a season against the team he used to constantly destroy.

He won't get a red. He'll deserve one, but he won't get one. 

[Big Drew]

I think Robbie will take full advantage of being in the stand. He'll get a better view of proceedings and how formations are shaping up for and against, who is doing their job well or not so well. As long as he has a means to communicate effectively with his coaching team, I can only see this being a potential advantage to us.
