stephanepaille Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 For a massive fall. They have beaten Aberdeen the cannon fodder this season and are all getting themselves excited...bring on the derby and all that pesh. Every time this happens we gub them...you would think that they would just learn there lesson. Looks like we will have a big backing at Easter Road and i just fancy ONCE again to do them over. how about a few 1902 banners ????? just to remind them of how long its is ??

jambonian Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It must be their mentality! I've never understood why they get so up for a derby match, more so than us! There's an element missing from their brains, there must be! I've said for years now that you can spot a Hibby a mile off, it's usually the way they growl when they talk or the way they always look so miserable, and the famous chip on their shoulder. No wonder they're always drunk and spout the biggest load of bull***t when they talk, strangely, i've never had any time for them, as soon as i find out they're Hobo's, i tend to move away from them as quick as possible in the search of humanity!

I'm with John on this one. I can't really see us pulling anything out of the bag. We do have a central defence who are very prone to ballwatching this season, and the opposition have been getting in behind their fullbacks too easily as well. Their forward line are capable of punishing us for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remnants of Standards Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 We've done them time and again when they've given it the big one saying what they're going to do to us. The first goal will be absolutely vital - get our noses in front - especially if Driver is back - and it should be fine. Start badly as we normally do down there, and we can likely forget it. We must have a decent first 20 or so. Just remember they will be just as worried about us as we are them. personally i think they way to play them is with pace up front, but with nade and tullberg you wont get that. I see a struggle, but hopefully a single goal win to us whatever the score. Oh, and break riordan's legs cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going to matches against Hibs, i hate the thought of playing them, never have liked the build-up to a derby match, try not to think about it. It's got nothing to do with them having better players than us, in the 25 years i've been going we've always had better players anyway, it's all the nonsense that comes from their mouths before and after the game. They build themselves up, usually that means only one thing....they'll lose or at best, get a draw. On the few occasions they do win, they never stop going on about it for weeks after it. Usually when we win, we have a night of winding them up and that's it, thoughts almost immedietly move on to the next game, posssibly to one of the oldfirm. In the past, (not anymore in recent years) our matches near the top of the table against them are more important than just taking 3 points from Hibs, that's just a bonus, so summing it up, Hibs get more excited about the derby than we do.(In my experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We celebrate derby wins JUST as much as they do, they have pictures of Gordon Hunter in their pubs, we have pictures of Wayne Foster in our pubs. We beat them on their cup parade and stayed behind, ruining their parade (some of us were ejected ) purely because that is what goes on at local derbies. What I would concede is that there is way that it is more important for them to beat us than vice versa; we are a bigger team than them. We are a big scalp for them, much like R@ng*rs, C*lt!c and Aberdeen. They can huff and puff about it, but we have simple facts like attendance, trophies and league finishes in our favour.

Every Hibby around the pub(s) on Saturday night went on about this game while Hearts fans listening were sigh-ing, shaking their heads and looking at them with rye smiles.(basically laughing at them, it's great fun watching them getting frustrated when they see we don't react, it really pi sses them off!) This is what it's like before any derby match that i can remember in 25 years.

Bomber Harris Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've got to agree with Jambonian on this one, over the last 15 years or so i would say the level of excitement leading up to an Edinburgh Derby from some Hearts fans has been drastically lower than what it used to be compared with the 1980's Derbies. Is this due to Hearts' domination within these two decades baring in mind Hibs' vastly improved record at Easter Rd over the last 10 years and that had crept in to the fans way of thinking that Hibs aren't much of a threat to Hearts (total contradiction i know) these days but now the paranoia and the fear of getting beat from Hibs is on the way back, yet again Hearts fans should be remember how lucky we have been since 1983 when it comes to the Edinburgh Derby so when Hibs do win they're celebration is on a higher level than what our's would be, remember 1988 when they beat us at Easter Rd? a bloody pitch invasion with Hibs fans jumping for joy and doing the eightsome reel in the centre circle !!!!! and then the Hearts fans wanting to get on and kick the sh i t out of them bizare. There is nothing better than beating Hibs but as i say our level of celebration is lower than the Hibs fans, imagine if they had beaten us 0-4 in that Cup Semi ? we would never have heard the end of it, admit it, the Hibs fans have got off lightly with that one. This may well upset a few K Backers and i'm willing to accept that there are Hearts fans who will celebrate a victory over Hibs well into the early hours of Sunday Morning but over the years i've witnessed subdued atmosphere's in the "Gorgie Pubs" after a Hibs victory... maybe it's just me ? 02/04/2006 ROBERTSON'S BAR, BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY !!!!!!
