Absolutely we are doing well and yes the gulf is huge a void that never will never be filled. The fact of the matter is we never competed today Ayr united proved trickier opponents I think our fan base expect more and rightly so why can’t we go to Glasgow and compete? Next 2 games are vital for us and at home we have to step up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We’ve just been cuffed 5-0 I think folk are entitled to seethe over it on the day. Especially as such a big aspect of it was self inflicted. If we get through in the cup there’s every chance we’ll face rangers in a semi or a final so we need to find a new way of playing against them. We need to find a way to beat them.

William H. Bonney Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Knee jerk reactions maybe. Forget the gulf, forget how good rangers played, its about how ****ing awful we were today. We didn't expect to win, but we certainly expected to at least compete. The players should hang their heads in shame today. They let themselves down and the fans down.

BigAlim Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We’re having a great season, we have good players and a good manager. A lot of people have gone way overboard with criticism on the back of this result. With all of that being said I do think others are going too far the other way with the whole “they have more money so 5-0 losses are to be expected” line of reasoning.

Totally agree 3rd is the expected outcome, and how we get there probably doesn't matter. Its just performances like today have a massive effect for when it really does matter, the cup games. The cups are the only thing that we can win but we 90% of the time will need to beat the old firm at Hampden. Putting in performances like this and them people dismissing it as aww well don't matter, free hit etc does nothing for when we play those games at Hampden. If this mentality continues then 3rd is all we can achieve and I am sorry how dull would that be in 10 years time we have finished 3rd 10 times in a row and nobody at the club as ever got a medal or to lift a cup.

PHSCAndy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We’re hurting - expections were understandably high based on our recent form. So we’ve had a reality check - it was bound to happen at some point. Sounds strange I know but in a way I’m glad it happened today and not on Wednesday as I’m sure it would hurt 100 times more. If there’s any positives that can be taken from today’s result it’s that there will hopefully be a reaction from the players and there’s no way that the opposition will be underestimated. Whilst we’ll obviously never know I’d like to believe that most of the players who participated/tried today will be suffering for the remainder of the weekend and will return on Monday totally focused on rectifying this embarrassing result. In Naismith I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have been confident, we were rightly thinking we might be able to go to Ibrox and (finally) get a result, and after 2 minutes, we're back in our box. Business as usual, shite result away to one of the Old Firm, oh well let's get them next time. To lose by a goal or two would be one thing, but to get absolutely pumped like some cannon fodder nonsense is a bit hard to take, especially after the run we've been on.

Thousands of Hearts fans left Hampden before an hour was played in the League Cup Semi Final. A similarly abject performance against them. I made a remark about the space and freedom we allow Tavernier. Some guy said he'd be our best player. We've seen several times at Tynecastle that he's horrendous defensively when put under it. His performance in the Scottish Cup Final against Hibs was ****ing horrendous. We give him the freedom of the park every single time. See 0-1 at Tynecastle meek surrender earlier this season. We'll probably get past Morton and assuming the uglies get kept apart we'll get either of them in a potential semi final. Not seeing anything other than more of the same in such a scenario. I'm sure the 98 Scottish Cup Final would be seen as a "free hit" nowadays by sections of the support. When in reality we'd been getting closer in H2H and we simply couldn't keep getting beat on those occasions. Too many fans are now far too conditioned to losing to them.

But, (aye theres a but, obviosly), whats the point in destroying the players, the management, the tactics, the lineup etc, and also each other on this forum, as at the end of the day, our forms been off the scale the last few months, winning multiple away games on the bounce, coming back from several goals down a few times and not losing, PLUS the undoubted unwavering fact were still well clear in 3rd and never gonna be caught, and, because of the stated above, the players and management have more than enough in the tank mentally to come back from this very quickly, much more steel, determination, winning mentality and positivity than previous iterations under neilson, levein and say it quietly, cathro. AND what better a way to get it back on track than on wednesday against our hopeless idiotic neeboors, who, in theyre infinitely psychotic delusional mindsets would much prefer the so called mythical "hibs" way of playing, rather than actually winning trophies or games against us, or games against us that involve winning trophies. sum up, starting wednesday, this is the start, no the start of the end, ie us capitulating like last season, just a blip, a small fall on our road, which before the day everyc**t was well and trully on, our road to the best season in a LONG time, just trust, just believe, just HMFC. also FTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We and others get it both ways. We have Newco supporters who don’t want to be too obvious when we play Celtic so give us nothing and vice versa. I’m not saying today had anything to do with the ref but the difference in Money is only one of the reasons we will struggle 8 times a year against the 2 butt cheeks. Not including cup games.

edramone Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Before the game I thought we would get beat but obviously hoped we wouldn't and that we would compete well. We didn't compete in this game and Rangers were at their best, so that's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on, totally agree. As Hearts fans we always say that old firm fans are self entitled, arrogant and too expecting of winning games and trophies. Unfortunately Hearts now have a group of fans who will too easily accept mediocrity, fans who defend the indefensible, who are very interested in commenting on the financial differences between us and the old firm and who will accept any/every poor performance or result with the “lucky to have a club mantra”.
