The one big thing we had over them was their failure to win the Scottish Cup for over 113 years. That Hearts fans are happy we no longer have that is bizarre. But hey, Sevco and zombies and stuff.....

We have much more over them than that, Sir. But I get your point.

As long as the Sevco zombies persist in the pantomime of them still being the same team as pre 2012, then I want them to win bugger all! I'd rather Hibs win the title than them, and yes I wanted both to lose that cup final, but preferred Hibs to be the winners.

I’m not doing this argument yet again, not the thread for it, aside from wondering why TF anyone cares what Hearts fans wanted back then. It’s not like we got a vote in it.

Sorry, but who are “Glasgow Rangers”?  Never been a team by that name play in the Scottish league so why do you refer to them as that?

Don't be calling Hearts "Hearts" or Hibs "Hibs". There's never been a team by those names play in the Scottish league. And whatever you do, don't call Hamilton Academicals "Hamilton Accies".

I think you’ll find that those you referred to are nicknames.  You know, shortened versions of the actual names.  Funnily enough happens in England too.  

But perhaps you can explain why the name of a city is added on to a team’s proper name to make it longer rather than abbreviate it into a nickname like “Gers”?  Can’t think of anyone that does this.  Oh wait a minute, don’t the older Hun fans tend to do this affectionately towards their own team? 🤔

Anyway whatever the bigoted f*ckwits call themselves let’s end this embarrassing run against them.  Would love to beat them if they come to Tynie needing a win or draw to win the league,

Your problem is ?

[Watt-Zeefuik]

Because some folks apparently still have their heads bent about that cup final that didn't involve us . . .

 

Folk all over this board talk about wanting to close the gap with the OF. At the time of that cup final, the gap had never been smaller. Rangers were skint. Celtic were pinching pennies knowing they could win the league without spending any money.

 

Had Rangers won that cup final, they would have had access to Europa groups and would have spent big to get there, re-opening the gap between our ability to compete and theirs. Losing kept them skint and opened a window wide for us to finish second and get a bit closer to Celtic.

 

Hibs winning kept that window open but we utterly ****ed it with Cathro. We had a golden chance to get a couple of second place finishes and build up our advantages and we shat it. But at the time, it was still a very real possibility that we'd see it out.

 

Compare that with worrying about the wee neighbors getting one little cup after a century of futility would somehow diminish us. That's small man syndrome. We're Hearts. Who gives a **** what Hibs win, they still don't have anywhere near our cups.

 

It would have been even better had Rangers not beat Celtic in that semi-final, the Rangers board hadn't nosed up the Celtic board in the Hampden box suites, Deila the Mediocre had stayed in charge, and we'd have really had a chance to close the gap. Ah, if, if, if.

 

In summary, **** Rangers, **** Celtic, **** Hibs, and **** Ian Cathro.

The ideal is nothing.

That isn't changed by some pie in the sky stuff about them being eternally hopeless if they don't win a cup final in 2016.

That worked out well.

Rangers losing in 2016 had the chance to be very good for Hearts. Hibs winning in 2016 meant nothing to Hearts.

 

I want what's best for Hearts and refuse to spend any time worrying about what's good or bad for Hibs.

WADR, you don’t appear to ‘get’ what being a Hearts fan is about. 
 

Part of having a city rival is to enjoy beating them and revel in their misfortune. What’s best for Hearts is us winning, and if that can’t happen, it’s Hibs losing.

Hibs picking up silverware is never beneficial for Hearts. You can justify it by talking about Europe and budgets, but when push comes to shove, seeing happy flumps swaggering about Edinburgh celebrating a cup win (and having knocked us out by coming back from 0-2 en route to doing so), isn’t a positive outcome. 
 

I hate Rangers* as much as the next man, but will take them and their loathesome fans celebrating a cup win over the junkie mob from Lochend doing so any day of the week.

Yeah? So they have a game plan to beat Rangers, so given it's not luck they're going to do it again, with your logic. You go bet on them for that next beating they give Rangers with their plan, which will be the second in their history. They should have come up with that plan years ago.  😉
