Hearts 0-0 Falkirk (merged)

[Storar]

A fantastic draw at home to bottom of the league Falkirk gives them another vital point in their relegation battle to keep them only 5 points clear of the drop:agree:

Really thought they would lose today but they've certainly proved me wrong, a fantastic effort, great spirit and determination from the big team:applause:

With this type of form I reckon they might shade another season in the top flight :agree:

Hibs looking to strenghen in January whilst they are looking to offload there high earners.. is Nade really on more than Riordan and Stokes put together? :hilarious.

Alarm bells ringing at Tiny..brought a wry smile to my face just there.

Very harsh, Andy. Take of those green-tinted specs for a minute.

You have to do these things in stages:

1. Avoid relegation

2. Finish top six

3. Get into Europe

4. Win the CL.

Hearts have managed to do all those things over the years, adopting this very same sequential approach. This scoreless draw at home against Falkirk means that the first objective - after only nine games- is well within their grasp. The only is up for the plucky, lavish spenders from Gorgie.

Agreed. Look at the last derby when we didn't have a chance. Our biggest problem will be complacency.

Having said that, I think Yogi is the perfect man to ensure players don't rest on their laurels. Derbies are always nervous affairs for me but I really do hope we give them an absolute doing. I would love to see us rip them apart in front of their pathetic deluded fans who are probably still trying to convince themselves we are relegation fodder this season...

With all their off-field problems around the issue of impending bankruptcy and administration, it's heartening to see the team taking responsibility and dragging themselves towards their demise purely on the basis of what happens on the pitch.

Well done maroons!

[Hank Schrader]

How things have changed since four years ago. Back then Hearts may have been leading the table but Hibs were not that far behind, playing good football under Mowbray with a very good squad getting good results like 0-3 at Ibrox.

Now we have a Hibs team challenging the OF at this early stage of the season. Of course I am not getting myself carried away into thinking we will definitely challenge for the title but looking at Hearts, unlike Hibs four years back, they have a below average squad, struggling in the bottom half of the league, stuttering to goalless draws against a very poor Falkirk team stuck at the root of the table. Their manager has been told to expect departures in January with no replacements whilst Hibs are likely to acquire the likes of Darren Barr in the transfer window. Its good to see my team on the up and looking accomplished whilst the arrogant Jambo hordes are subjected to watching filth week in week out under the control of a so called millionaire owner who has gotten fed up with his toy and doesn't give a flying ****** any more.

Back in October 2005 I was fed up listening to how great Hearts were going to be and how we would forever be hanging on to their coat tails. I am sitting here quite smug at how much the tables have turned and how much they are suffering through poor management and over spending.

The chickens have come home to roost. They were arrogant and insufferable back in 2005 and as far as I am concerned they deserve everything that has happened so far this season and what is likely to come in the future.

Glory glory....

did he score? damn right he did

[TheMentalHibees]

I'm ****ing myself about the derby after this result. Their defence must be impeccable to hold out that rampant Falkirk strike-force, and it's only a matter of time before that goal machine Nade kicks into gear and starts banging them in. Get it sorted Petrie, we need a good few signings to get ourselves up to the same level of skill, quality and ability of that Hearts side.

Derby prediction: 10-0 Hearts.

But that's enough about Dens Park in 1986.

[Part/Time Supporter]

I have the horrible feeling we may be huge favourites to beat Hearts in a couple of weeks time - and you know what that usually means.....! :bitchy:

No, I don't really. The last time Hibs were justifiably favourites in any game against Hearts was 2000/01 (6-2 followed by a couple of draws), and then maybe the first game of the 2001/02 season (2-1 win), IMO.

The only other game I can think you are referring to was the league game following the CIS Cup final, where everybody got carried away by one great result for Hibs (said final) and one terrible result for Hearts (0-4 v Dundee Utd) preceeding that. When in fact Hearts were above Hibs in the league going into that game; ie even before the player revolt and the long winless run that followed the final.

If Hibs have had poor results against Hearts it's generally because they've had slightly (if not significantly) the better team. In fact, they're probably still bumping their chops about how Hibs won the last two games of last season despite there being quite a big gap in league points overall.

[One Day Soon]

Spot on. The history of these games is that the side with the better form, team and league placing usually does the business or at least does not lose. Completely unexpected reversals are not that common.

The key issue for this derby isn't form, player ability, team strength, flair or hunger - we are miles ahead on all of these. It comes down to attitude and determination and if Yogi has those right we are going to have a VERY enjoyable day out at the Imperial War Museum, sorry, I mean Tynecastle.

I was talking to one of the unregular locals in the pub last night and it turns out he’s a football match nutter and yesterday was his 50th match this season.

He was a Tynie. His first nil – nil. He just shook his head when I asked him about the game – so I showed him our goal on my new mobile (did I tell you I had a new phone?) and he was rightly right impressed!

101 games so far this year and I think his wife goes to a lot of them as well!!!

[Sir David Gray]

That's an impressive 9 points from 9 games now for the winners of WW1...

If they keep up this impressive points per game ratio right the way through until the end of the season, they will pick up a grand total of 38 points for the season which, based on previous SPL seasons, should see them hit the heady heights of 10th place by May.

So they might just manage to preserve their SPL status for another year.

:agree:Agreed - and I thought everybody knew she was the "nation's favourite grandmother", who was pleased in an ironic sense when the bosch bombed Buck Palace. She was quoted as saying that at least now she can "look the east end in the face again".

There's parallels there with Uncle Vlad, as when the JCBs steamroller the PBS, and he's surveying the rubble from his helicopter as he veers off towards Lithuania; and the massed hordes of Jambos are doffing their caps, and still dreaming of world domination.

[Danderhall Hibs]

No, I don't really. The last time Hibs were justifiably favourites in any game against Hearts was 2000/01 (6-2 followed by a couple of draws), and then maybe the first game of the 2001/02 season (2-1 win), IMO.

The only other game I can think you are referring to was the league game following the CIS Cup final, where everybody got carried away by one great result for Hibs (said final) and one terrible result for Hearts (0-4 v Dundee Utd) preceeding that. When in fact Hearts were above Hibs in the league going into that game; ie even before the player revolt and the long winless run that followed the final.

If Hibs have had poor results against Hearts it's generally because they've had slightly (if not significantly) the better team. In fact, they're probably still bumping their chops about how Hibs won the last two games of last season despite there being quite a big gap in league points overall.

I seem to remember us being favourites before the 5-1 game?

Not sure any team that had Mark Dempsie and Tony Caig in it should have had the air of favourites about it....

We definitely wouldn't have been. We'd lost the season opener to Aberdeen, Hearts were their traditionally difficult to beat selves under Levein, certainly not a game Hibs would have expected to win.

ok folks please dont get carried away, dont you know one team played with 10men behind a ball and for most of the game were a man down?

heartz were simply outstanding, this could be up there with there best results maybe ever.


if heartz keep getting 0-0's then they wont get beat now will they?
