Big Broon Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Don't know where I'm getting the optimism from but I'm feeling very confident about Saturday. The currant buns at work are very subdued about it and some think they are due a hiding. Other Jambos would settle for a point now, hopefully the players are as confident and up for it, atmosphere should be rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I would be reasonably confident of getting a result against Rangers FC, but for the strong possibility that an error by the referee is more likely to decide the match than a piece of skill from either side.

Victorian Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 hearts are a bit of a work in progress right now and i would say that at this stage, matches against the OF teams are not our top priority, therefore a defeat in this one would not be a major blow. the matches which are our priority are the ones against everyone else, OF games are a chance to score some bonus points. in order to see some progress has been made since the celtic game, a good performance would be nice to see, perhaps even regardless of the result. we could see a great performance and no points, or perhaps 1 point.... therefore not much gained. invariably we would need a great performance to collect 3 points. confident? never against the OF. as others have aluded to, there are other variables to consider apart from the normal course the match would take. i'm sure i'm not alone in being sick and tired of referring to 'honest mistakes', i would far rather be confident of the officials being fully objective and even-handed in every decision they make, even if mistakes (real ones) are made. points would be nice from this one but i will probably be just as happy if all we get is a right good performance..... and don't get robbed blind.

Rods Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I am never confident before playing either of the OF It may be down to years of them beating us or the fear that the official may play an unwanted part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattie Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 In February, I trudged to Tynecastle expecting a royal humping from Rangers, which they duly administered by beating us 4-0. However, the game in October, I was absolutely convinced we were going to win, I said as much to my workmates. Two nights before the game, I dreamt we won 4-0, which only solidified my confidence. Where the optimism came from I don't know, but I sure of only one result. It was also the first time I had attended a game we had won against Rangers. So....do I think we're going to win on Saturday? Um.....not a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Mayhem Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have the misfortune that my biggest customer has a box at Ibrox and I'm there quite often. I've been there three times now this season and I've got to say they're absolute murder. Granted, we are too but with two poor teams anything can happen.

lambojambo Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 To beat the OF you need to get right in their faces and press up on top of their back 4. I fear that Laslo's tactics mean we will sit back and give the Huns too much time on the ball. Once they start to dominate you it is tough to get into the game. The last game against Celtic was a perfect example of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game against Celtic was a perfect example of this. I agree - he's shown both sides of the Old Firm far too much respect in the two games so far. That was even before he gave up the ghost completely at half-time against Celtic. Can't see that attitude getting us anything unfortunately.

Jambomo Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 TBH I will be happy if we can put in a good performance. I never expect us to do much against the OF so if we can maintain and maybe better the recent performances we've had and show that we can give them a game, i'll be happy.

I think we'll get beat also , I think Rangers know they cannot fall any further behind and will be well up for it. This has also been a fixture that they seem to have enjoyed for some considerable time (Last seasons 4-2 apart:)) To have any chance of getting a result we'd need to score first and hope the defence was on top of their game and the Rangers attackers were off theirs. Still, confidence should be high after the last 3 weeks or so and hopefully the Celtic game will serve as a reminder of what will happen if they're not at the races from the off. FTR.

Nelly Terraces Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sadly, due to our own teams lack of self belief in these fixtures, I don't believe we can win this game, or even get a point. We seem to roll over to these blunts at any given opportunity, it's pathetic, weak and above all totally self defeating and unnecessary. Hope I'm wrong and Csaba has them well fired up for this.

Generic Username Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 All I want from tomorrow is a display that is the polar opposite of that from the Celtic game.

Jamboy81 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Rangers need to have an off day for Hearts to win. I don't think they are a great team, but still there is a gulf in class there. They have strikers we could only dream of, we have Mole and Nade. Hopefully we can nick a draw, but i don't think we'll win. My prediction is nil-2.
