One win this decade against Hearts

Obviously we will at some point, but it’s hard to see us winning another derby again anytime soon.

Don't ever take up counselling

The worst bit is, that Hertz team is industrial shades of meh.

On the subject of the thread title, obviously it's a massive problem and it has been for as long as I can remember (I was born in 1982).

The Edinburgh derby stats are simply not normal for a derby between two roughly equally sized clubs in the same city. And we all know its not just this decade either. Its replicated over and over again. We can call them lucky, or jammy or spawny or whatever, but this is clearly about something more than just luck. Nor are Hearts some great powerhouse of a football club... they've won 3 trophies in 60 years ffs! That's one fewer than us in that time.

I don't know what the solution is, and there's absolutely hee-haw us as supporters can do about it, except vent like we are doing on this thread. Only the board, manager and players can fix this.

I wouldn't mind so much if Hearts were a great team that deserved to win, but they seem to beat us even when they are mediocre.

Fingers crossed that Shankland will be away soon.

Correct.

Riordan at Tynecastle is all I can remember.

One thing skewing the stats is pre SPL and post SPL periods of dominance. Our record pre the 80s was very good for stretches but at a time you only played twice a season. If TTs had played them 4 x a year the stats would've been less in their favour. It wouldn't completely change things but you can bet the Tornadoes, for example, would've clocked up a fair few more wins than the league at that time permitted

Think Kamberi scored at PBS at end of 17/18.
