Relegation watch (Estimated Relegation Date.......... TODAY!)

[Jack Hackett]

Relegation is too easy for them,, please let them DIE Very quickly there self pity and endless bleating makes me boak

Nah... It's the icing on the cake. Shows them up as the snivelling welts that they are

['Mon the Hibs]

Just been offered a hospitality ticket for **** v Aberdeen on the 15th.... is it worth going, jus to see them get relegated? :confused::greengrin:wink:

['Mon the Hibs]

Problem solved...... Seems the **** v sheep game has been moved to the 1st.

Excellent :thumbsup: decision made... wont go at all then. Likely relegated by then and probably not even in business anymore :faf:

[Mikey]

With their mini revival it's looking increasingly likely that we'll get the chance to put them down on March 29th :cb

Listening to the radio.....reports from the SPL games..... Well v Partick, Dun Utd v Kille - great games, great performances etc.

Hibs just held on was the entire report.

The Hearts match 'report'.......Good news for them this week with Budge's money and 0 - 0. Yes, I think they gave the score.

Anyone got a silver bullet?

YEs went to talk to the COunty manager and prefaced his interview with 'Hibs just sneaked a win'......Thought it was hard to sneak from a 2 - 0 lead.

But who cares really? We won. Just behind the Saints. Hearts even after their proud, so proud point today have reduced the 15 point deficit at the start of the season and after only a few months to 16.

Mmmm. Not such a bad weekend.

ICT should/could have won by 3 or 4 today I hear. The yam's luck is unbelievable at times, but it's going to run out big style very soon. Relegated, again, and some of these roasters would have you believe it's no big deal! Deluded or what? :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

They might be unbeaten in their last four league games but they still find themselves worse off now than they were before the season started!

They're doomed.

[leggeto]

I really hope we get the chance to put them down,the satisfaction and giruy factor would be second to none

[Mikey]

Another week goes by where they fail to close the gap!

[GreenCastle]

Currently 16 points behind the team in 11th.

6 games left before split = 18 points possible
5 games after split = 15 points possible

33 points left to play for - assuming others above don't increase gap..

Tick Tock...

:agree:

To get the current 18 points back that's at least 6 games they must win and hope none of the above pick up a point to increase the gap. (plus they have worst goal difference currently).

The chances of the gap staying at 18 is near impossible so I would say around 8 + wins are needed from their remaining 11 games if they want to stay up.

The sad thing is they believe that. To start with The Rangers aren't anything near the old Rangers. Hearts themselves are a shadow of what they used to be. That game is the only pull in that league and at that it will be two very poor sides. Please tell me how Falkirk v Hearts or Pars v Hearts is bigger than Hibs v Well or V Utd etc.. I cringe big time for the fans that spout this crap. Please stop it as it's embarrassing for us who have to be in your company.

They will be in for a shock - Raith showed against us the gap isn't that big and like sevco they will be the team to beat so opposition players will raise their game even more.

I hope they get stuck down there for several seasons :na na:

I've always been in the 'I'm no assuming they're down till it's mathematically impossible' camp.

But surely I can relax now.

[SanFranHibs]

Just listened to Locke and there 'are many positives'. Better than the last time Celtic were at Tynie...Really?????

My grasp of the English language may not be (or should that be 'might') but after losing 2 - 0 at home I would like to know how that is 'we just outmatched the best team in the country'.

Definitely not strugglin' then !

No they don't. The ones who came up with that are so twisted they refuse to say anything that doesn't involve Hearts is better. The rest are brainless blawbags who would follow along with anything.

Exactly right. They are completely blinkered, and refuse to accept reality. They are worse than deluded. There's absolutely no point even trying to discuss this issue (or anything else for that matter) with them. You would be wasting your time, and your breath. There is no point.

Boy in the work claimed Vlad was a Billionaire right up until the time they went into admin. Pointed out to him time and again, throughout the era of late wages etc that he was nowhere near that rich but this guy was insistent that Vlad would see them right. :rolleyes:

Now he just concentrates on the #createhistory nonsense and "reliably informs me" that Hibs will be in admin any day and that Hibs fans will never show the loyalty Hearts fans have. Luckily I only see him once or twice a month as he's out driving the van. A complete walloper who has other Jambos clinging onto his every word.

Yams already played 2 championship teams in LC this season & drew both. Their prior record in lower league is also hardly inspiring. IIRC they only came up once as champs, were 2nd twice & failed to get promoted once. And of course Sevco were not in 2nd tier in those days!

I can't believe that they are still in this position after overtaking ourselves before Christmas.

They haven't half messed it up.

Yep, sounds very familiar mate. Hertz go into administration, so guess what? They start saying Hibs will go into administration too!! Sados like this are in complete denial, and come away wi a load of s****. No shame. No humility. No difference between them and Sevco.:agree:

I hear and accept what you say about Rangers fans in your work, but I'm not so sure all Rangers fans have such a mature attitude though... The thing with many (most?) Hearts fans is they actually seem to think they have been hard done by, and have done nothing but whinge and moan about their punishment ever since. They are unbelievable.

Agreed about the Yams mate. They think they are out of the woods, but it's wishfull thinking on their part IMO. This story has miles to run.

The comparison with Dundee has been made on here before and is worth repeating. The Yams will be just another once-big, formerly famous club that overspent and then spends years in the "Championship" hoping for promotion but knowing they'll be relegated back after only one season in the top flight.

Maybe because they'll be shoulder to shoulder with their big cousins ?

Big teams always go into a new season dreaming of relegation right enough - Hearts will lose Walker, Holt, McDonald and Stevenson if they are relegated. The first three because they are good players and will command a decent fee, the latter because he's a mercenary ! Levein will then have to cherry pick from lower leagues, obviously not targeting strikers as he doesn't like playing them !

Locke will be given the Tynie ejector seat and Brown will walk round Mussie in his Hearts/Hibs/Bradford/East Fife trackies 'strugglin' and looking like an angry Violet Beauregard.

[bingo70]

Im not sure they will be able to afford levein. Even if they can he wont be able to give them the instant success they will be demanding so wont last long in the job.

My only concern with hearts was them staying up, now we know that isnt happening theyre completely ****ed for years, even if they do escape admin without being liquidated.

Not sure if this is the right thread but I've seen some Chapmionship teams this season and hearts or rangers aren't going to find it easy.

depends on who comes up but the likes of Falkirk and Hamilton have got great young players who've been in the first team for years. Part timers such as Dumbarton are giving a good account for themselves too.

The Arabs relegated their city rivals in the first season of the Premier League (1975). This is the first season of the SPFL, and we are the only club with a rival in the same city to relegate. I blame Petrie if we can't get it right.

Exactly. It's like their whole "big cup wee cup" nonsense, it only becomes a "wee cup" when they get knocked out. But is suppose if letting the wee souls keep telling themselves that little fairy tale that helps them cope with the grim reality.

[Dashing Bob S]

The yams I know can't wait for this season to be over. They know next season is going to be very hard but as long as their club is still here they see it as a victory and a chance to rebuild their club

Here's my take on it from a reasonable mix of Yam friends, neighbours and family members:

YATAGORY 1 - declining number of Yams who think the takeover will herald 'normality' where they are spearheaded by the MacKay-May strike force to a galvanizing season in the Championship, spending the Budge /FOH war chest freely, pipping the stricken Huns by a dozen points and looking forward to challenging Celtic for SPL title.

YATAGORY 2 - the Yams who accept it'll be a hard slog back but are looking forward to the Budge/FOH stewardship taking a well run club forward, after some doldrum years.

YATAGORY 3 - the quietest ones, where you have to dig their feelings out off them. It's an uncomfortable process; you feel like a psychoanalyst trying to get a resistant patient to revisit some childhood trauma. These people genuinely fear for the future of the club and believe that liquidation is a very distinct option. One Yam chum who works in finance at a fairly senior level (wouldn't be seen dead on Kickback) told me: "liquidation is inevitable. All this other stuff is just jockeying for position regarding the resurrected Hearts."

I'm starting to think we might not avoid the drop this season.

Surely got to be sarcastic

It's definitely sinking in over the road :thumbsup:

Worst case scenario.

We can be relegated after only three more games - lose all three, st mirren & partick win theirs
Partick P30 Pts 34
St Mirren P30 Pts 33
Hearts P 30 Pts 6 (most we can then get are 30).

That would mean getting relegated on Saturday 22nd March when the other teams play, after having lost at home on the Friday night to Dundee United.

Not too likely that both the other teams win all their games, and if they did then we would need to take Ross County and Kilmarnock into consideration.

So that's not going to happen.


If all three teams keep on grinding out the average number of points per game (less than a point each per game, but rounding to the nearest point), we will be relegated after six more games on 5th April, after drawing away at Partick.

I'm afraid that looks like the most likely outcome.


But there is a worse than worst case scenario.

Not all teams are playing games on the same days, and by 30th March we will have played two games less than both St Mirren and Partick.

If all three teams do continue to grind out their average points per game,and St Mirren have picked up a couple of extra ones on the way, then we go into the Hibs game on 30th March

Partick P32 30 Pts
St Mirren P32 30 Pts
Hearts P30 8 Pts

And so, If we lose at home against Hibs on Sunday 30th March

Partick P32 30 Pts
St Mirren P32 30 Pts
Hearts P31 8 Pts.

then the most we can get are 29 points
and that's the day we get relegated

[Weststandwanab]

Bottom option would do quite nicely, thanks very much :greengrin It would get my vote particularly if it is on Mother's Day.

[Phil D. Rolls]

I would prefer them to be relegated before we play them. The reason being that we can rub it in from the get go. As well as that, they will have no fight left in them, and will be our easiest victory of the season.

Finally, Johnny Yam is not known for sticking by his club when it looks like those Methadone swilling Hobos are likely to be in the ascendancy. Result will be many empty seats at the PBS, and a clamour from the Peg Selling Docksiders for tickets.

They will have no option but to sell those tickets to us, and hope that our giros arrive in time to pay them. We will be the saviours of their club and the only option they have to cobble together enough cash to get them to the end of the season.

Of course, it's in our interests too. We are forever in their shadow, and rely on them desperately or our poxy little club wouldn't exist. They are what keeps us going (and Heroin).

Seething, biitter, 5-1, 1902, Famous Old Club haw haw haw.

just as good

[crieffhibee]

Sounds good to me

[GreenCastle]

Option 1 - they are relegated before they play us

Option 2 - we win at PBS and relegate them

Option 3 - we win/draw at PBS and play our part to relegate them

Option 4 - they are relegated after they play us

All pretty good options...

I would just hope we put in a performance and beat them again - then the relegation stuff takes care of itself.

If we end up bottom 6 we could have another derby at ER!! Probably with a half empty away end.

Wasn't it the case that even although Law scored THAT goal against Man U the other results meant they were down no matter what the score with City was?
Correct.

United had to win and hope that Southampton and Birmingham lost. Both won with Birmingham escaping and Southampton relegated.

Another tear-jerker in Bulgaria this weekend.

Hearts are now -20 from safety and sit at a respectably unrespectable 6 points.

I'm personally hoping for Hearts to be officially relegated the day before the derby turning the game into a goodbye party/funeral depending on which end your sitting in. I fear us needing points to send them down would result in Hearts surviving for 1 more week.

Wouldn't bet a brass farthing on us beating Hearts to relegate them. TBH, we just are not much better than them at all.

We were far from convincing when we played them at ER last time. I reckon they will give us a really good game next time round.

A bit panicky. Patrick and County would each need to win 3. We are 5 clear of the next 2 with a game in hand. The glass is half full remember.

:agree: At our level, it usually comes down to who wants it more. The Yams would be really fired up for that match, and our "boys" won't be bothered as most of them know they will be finished with Hibs in the summer. Has all the makings of another Hibs embarrassment.

[GreenCastle]

30 points left to play for

They are 20 points behind the nearest team after today

In our form - I'm not confident we would beat them.

I can't see us being able to relegate them (due to fixtures and the way the results will work out) but we could and should play our part at the end of this month to send them down.

[3pm]

Sitting in the boozer.

'If it's they *******s that relegate us....'

[coldingham hibs]

Is it possible that Hearts could actually put us in the play off position as opposed to us relegating them. I know which way I would hedge my bets if that were the case!

Nonsense, no way will the other 4 sides below us gather enough points to get above us. FFS we are only 3 points of the top 6. Yes we are gash but so is the rest of the league. I'm delighted so many so called Hibs fans are depressed about our chances at the PBS it should make it less of a scramble amongst STs for tickets

Spot on. Very long odds for ALL 4 clubs to climb above us in the last 10 games.

[Col2]

I think the position is almost perfect for a derby day relegation match. Partick, County and Saints have 4 games before the derby and will need to pick up 3-4 points or so which is about what they are averaging.

Yams away to Killie - draw or loss
Yams home to arabs - likely loss or unlikely draw.

So say 1-2 points.

We win derby and its game over!!

This.

Only 6 points ahead of these 4 clubs, it's not unimaginable that they can catch us.

We have Motherwell and ICT coming up and with the way we've been playing recently, that's 2 defeats.

Believe me, a lot of us on here are saddened and dismayed that we can't go into a Derby at the current time with any semblance of confidence or expectation against a weakened and very poor Hearts team. It just shows how poor we are and how far we have fallen.

It's not undue pessimism that's leading to these opinions, it's a hard, cold, realistic assessment of where our team and club are just now.

[StevieC]

I think that us being able to relegate them will hinge on 3 games ...

Killie v Hearts next week .. Killie need to win
St Johnstone v Ross County .. Ross County need to win
Hearts v Hibs .. Hibs NEED to win

If either of these 3 games go the opposite way then my guess is that it will be Aberdeen that relegate them the Wednesday after the derby game (or possibly the first game after the split). I think that it will be very unlikely that they will be relegated before the derby game (looking at Ross County's fixtures).

I think that it will be very unlikely that they will be relegated before the derby game (looking at Ross County's fixtures).

I think that is too simplistic, it will also depend on other results to with Ross C and Partick.

[Sir David Gray]

For us to be in a position to relegate them on the 30th, this is the most likely version of events which will allow it to happen;

1. Hearts lose to Kilmarnock and Dundee Utd
2. St Mirren pick up at least a point against St Johnstone
3. Partick Thistle pick up draws against St Johnstone and us
4. Ross County beat St Johnstone

That would mean that on the morning of 30th March, the bottom of the table would be;

8- Kilmarnock PLAYED-32 POINTS-30
9- Ross County PLAYED-32 POINTS-29
10- St Mirren PLAYED-32 POINTS-28
11- Partick Thistle PLAYED-32 POINTS-28
12- Hearts PLAYED-30 POINTS-6

A Hibs victory would put them 22 points behind, with only 21 points left for them to play for.

I personally think it's a long shot at the moment. The other clubs above them have a lot of tough fixtures in the next few weeks and I would say that Aberdeen are likely to be the ones to relegate them on the 2nd April.

[StevieC]

I think that is too simplistic, it will also depend on other results to with Ross C and Partick.

I think that Partick have fixtures that they can pick up points from whereas Ross County only have the game at St Johnstone I feel they can get anything from. Killie winning is crucial.

[SanFranHibs]

Hearts are NOT being relegated...they are being 'promoted' to the Championship. Romanov was correct. Being an old sailor he knew they would not be in the Champions League but the in the Champions Ship.

That aside....we have to think the way we are playing and the way Partick are they are going to pick up some points against us.

But let's hope for the best, that we get to open that trap door. But if not, do we care who opens it, because,

They're going down, they're going down...Hearts are going down.

It'll be a real dilemma for new manager Terry Venables.

It'll be an even bigger dilemma if they appoint Levein as all four will be sitting in the stand but being paid mega-bucks from the direct debits.

[GreenCastle]

27 points left to play for till end of the season.

Currently 20 points behind (plus goal difference) the 3 teams above them (St Mirren / Ross County and Partick Thistle) who have a game in hand.

Hibs and Aberdeen winning at the PBS would be ideal to take them down.

El Tel and I thought it was going to be Scolari or Jose!!

[StevieC]

I think that us being able to relegate them will hinge on 3 games ...

Killie v Hearts next week .. Killie need to win
St Johnstone v Ross County .. Ross County need to win
Hearts v Hibs .. Hibs NEED to win

If either of these 3 games go the opposite way then my guess is that it will be Aberdeen that relegate them the Wednesday after the derby game (or possibly the first game after the split). I think that it will be very unlikely that they will be relegated before the derby game (looking at Ross County's fixtures).

Phase one of Operation "Relegate" completed. :wink:

[Sir David Gray]

Can the paps get papped and go doon at Tannadeechee?

No. It's not possible for them to be relegated against Dundee Utd, irrespective of the result.

It's still pretty unlikely that we'll be able to relegate them to be honest.

They need to be at least 22 points behind 11th place going into the match against us in order for us to have a chance of relegating them.

They're currently 20 points behind Partick Thistle and Ross County and 21 points behind St Mirren.

Ross County are away to St Johnstone, Motherwell and Celtic and are at home to Aberdeen before the derby takes place. They are four very tough fixtures and it's possible they could lose all four of them. Assuming Hearts lose to Dundee Utd, Ross County need at least two points from those four games.

Partick Thistle are at home to us and Celtic and are away to Inverness and St Johnstone before the derby takes place. They also require at least two points from those four games, if Hearts lose to Dundee Utd. Ironically, we could improve our chances of relegating them at Tynecastle if we lose next week at Firhill. Obviously I don't want that to happen and it's probably Partick's best chance of picking up the required amount of points over those four games as it's possible they could lose the other three.

St Mirren are away to Dundee Utd, Celtic and Inverness and are at home to St Johnstone before the derby takes place. They only need 1 point from those four games, if Hearts lose to Dundee Utd, but again they are very difficult matches and it's possible they could lose all four.

I think it's wishful thinking that this thread still rates the estimated date for their relegation to be confirmed as the 30th March. I would love it to happen but I would say the 2nd April, after a defeat to Aberdeen, is much more likely.

I have to disagree. Hearts have 1 game before the derby, against an in form DUFC. All 3 rival teams have 4 games. A possible 12 points before the derby. They are fighting for their lives. Whilst I know they will not take max points, it is reasonable to expect 2 or 3 points each. In which case hearts will go into the derby 22-23 points adrift. If we beat them or draw they are down!

All the matches these teams are due to play are against top six teams, with the exception of Partick Thistle who play us next week before they play three top six teams.

Ross County

Aberdeen (H)
St Johnstone (A)
Motherwell (A)
Celtic (A)

Partick Thistle

Hibs (H)
Celtic (H)
Inverness CT (A)
St Johnstone (A)

St Mirren

St Johnstone (H)
Dundee Utd (A)
Celtic (A)
Inverness CT (A)

I can see Partick Thistle and St Mirren getting to the required number of points but not too sure about Ross County. They have a lot of difficult matches coming up and it's highly possible that they'll lose all four.

Having thought a bit more about it. The time and the place doesnt matter to me. Much more important is that it is by more than 15 points.

In all seriousness, I'm sure that next week will yield positive news for Hearts, with a firm timetable for completion of the CVA. Or perhaps early the following week. Whatever, it shouldn't be too long now before it's all sorted out. :fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber:

Can't predict the date it will happen but I think it is safe to say they will be relegated before the split.

What needs to happen in games between now and then for us to officially relegate them?

They need to be just the right amount of points behind second bottom on the day we play them.

To answer the question regarding what we need to happen to relegate Hearts. We need them to lose next Friday against Dundee United and for Partick Thistle to win 2 of their next three games (one being against us :wink:) and Ross County to take 6 points from their next 4 games and St Mirren to take just a point from their next 3. In that case all that's left is for us to put them out their misery on the Sunday.

I'm not so sure.

If Hearts lose to United, they'll only have 8 games left - max 24 points possible.

If we beat them, they'll only have 7 games - 21 points possible.

County and Thistle are currently 20 points ahead. If they gain 1 more point, they'll be virtually un-catchable as their goal difference is much superior to Hearts'.

That's not correct.

If Hearts lose to Dundee Utd, they're going to be a minimum of 20 points behind 11th place, going into the derby, and they'll only have 24 points left to play for.

After the derby, they'll have 21 points to play for so if we beat them on the 30th, we'll have relegated them if they find themselves 22 points or more behind 11th place at full time on the 30th.

For that to happen, Partick Thistle and Ross County need at least 2 points, and St Mirren need 1 point, from their next 4 games.

For that to happen, Partick Thistle and Ross County need at least 2 points, and St Mirren need 1 point, from their next 4 games.

Spot on. And here's the games that they need to get points from ..

Ross County
St Johnstone away
Motherwell away
Aberdeen home
Celtic away

Partick Thistle
Hibernian home
Inverness away
Celtic home
St Johnstone away

St Mirren
Dundee United away
Celtic away
St Johnstone home
Inverness away

As I mentioned on a previous post, I think that the St Johnstone game will be the best opportunity for Ross County, although they may also sneak a point at home to Aberdeen. For the other two, it wouldn't be a huge surprise for them to pick up points against St Johnstone/Inverness, especially the way Inverness are playing at the moment.

Ideally though, we'd want these teams to pick up at least one win from their last 4 games as I wouldn't want to be going in to a game at Tynecastle knowing that we had to win.

I'm noticing a common opponent in there. In an ideal world each of those teams would beat St Johnstone, although if that happened I'm sure we'd still find some way to foul up the opportunity to make the top six.

Not drinking anything and I'm not suffering from knee jerk reactions like some! Hearts are terrible. We are inconsistent! We are due a win or two. We will get them when we find the right blend. In all the derbies we have played this season, especially the last two, we battered them and were unlucky not to get big big wins. We will beat them at the end of the month. I will be there and I will be rubbing it in with gusto!

[Mikey]

Whats the date for the drop after todays results?

They're now 21 points adrift. Assuming Hearts lose to Dundee Utd, St Mirren only have to pick up 1 point out of Celtic away, St Johnstone at home and ICT away to relegate them.

So we need Hearts to get 0 points from 1 game and St Mirren to get 0 points from 3 games for us to relegate them (with a draw or better) on Sunday 30th March.

Not quite. Hearts have 9 games to play, so after the Dundee United game they'll have 8 = 24 points to play for. Only after the Hibs game, will there only be 21 points to play for. So if Hearts lose to Dundee United, they'll be able to reach 30 points going into the derby, 27 after it.

[sixtwo]

If the fuds get beat by Dundee Und then their possible total points is 30.
If the second bottom team is on 31 points then then they will have already been relegated when we play them.
If the second bottom team are on 29 points then a draw will suffice to relegate them.

I may have just repeated your post but from a different angle :greengrin

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

If St Mirren had held on for a point yesterday, then we could definitely have relegated them with a win-as long as Hearts lose to DU. As it is, I think St Mirren will need to pick up another point before the derby. Also wouldn't surprise me if Hearts pick up something against Utd and would surprise me even less if they pick up something against us(a win probably)

Bang on, sadly. We are nowhere near guaranteed a result on the 30th. It'll be a fun day whatever happens, but if we manage to get beaten three times this season by the worst yams team in 40 years then I think Hibs should pay for us all to get counselling.

This is the definitive analysis of their likely fate, the only risk is that I can't see us beating them, we rarely rise to any occasion and they will see this as one they don't want to lose, they generally battle better than us on the bigger occasion.

:agree: Has all the characteristics of another hibs banana skin. We would build it up and get excited about senidng them down and the players would let us down as we don't do big ocassions . And like you say, they will absolutely not want it to be us who puts the final nail in their coffin so I reckon it would give them a huge insentive and would get right up for it in order to stop it happening.

Agree. Go on Hibs, prove me wrong!

Whatever happened to Ngoo??? Never seen him on todays team sheet for Liverpool..

[Bertie's XI]

I think that in the hypothetical situation that hearts get beat of dundee united and hibs in their next 2 games that leaves them with 6 points with 7 games and 21 points left to attain.
Therefore current standings only st mirren need to pick up a minimum of one point in their next 3 games before the derby for us to relegate them at tynie.
This consists of
celtic (A)
st johnstone (H)
inverness (A)

Think it is looking likely if ourself and united can do the job against hearts :flag:

What do you think?

Daren't risk getting him injured and missing out on the big fee as they are saving him for the yams once the transfer ban is lifted. They have a special relationship you know. A bit like the nutcase and the man with the key to the padded cell

We can’t let Hibs relegate us, warns McHattie

HEARTS defender Kevin McHattie has warned his Tynecastle team-mates that they can’t let Hibernian relegate them, when the two teams meet in Gorgie later this season.

Hibs make the short trip across the city to face their bitter rivals a week on Sunday, and McHattie is desperate to avoid Hibs sending the Jambos to the Championship.

Propping up the Scottish Premiership, McHattie and the Hearts camp know avoiding relegation is a very tall order - but he insisted: “We can’t let Hibs send us down. No chance. All our concentration is on Friday’s game.”

Failure to mention 5-1 suggests he hasn't been paying attention. Either that or his editor really is a Methadone swilling Hobo.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

McHattie looks like a massive jake ball. If he hadn't made it as a 'footballer'(in the loosest of terms) I imagine he would have been hanging around outside Tynie High School, attempting to flog Valium to school kids

He would get a much better price on match days.

Banderson is so excited about HMFC coming out of admin next Friday that he forgot to go through his checklist before submitting this story. Must do better.

We're all focusing on this being the relegation derby, where in fact it could be a celebration for the Jambos as they welcome a new era with Budgie at the helm. 'The purple patch', I believe they are calling it.

High stakes for the last week in March, then.

Can we Relegate them?
St.Mirren

I have been looking at the table to see how likely it is that we will put the final nail in the maroon coffin.

Here's the Maths;


Hearts are currently 21 points behind St.Mirren with 27 points on offer
Hearts play Dundee Utd between now, and when we pay them a visit
St. Mirren however, play Celtic (a) St. Johnstone (h) ICT (a) between now and when we play play hearts
Presuming Hearts lose to Dun.Utd they will be at least 21 points behind with 24 points remaining by the time we play them
Therefore, if St.Mirren gain at least 1, BUT, no more than 3 points; in the 3 games they play in between Hearts' games against Utd and us, we can officially relegate them in their own backyard.

The dream is on people!
:aok:

Why is the bit in bold necessary?

[Boyle89]

Why is the bit in bold necessary?
Because that will mean they are already relegated?

[Juice-Terry]

D'oh! Of course. Sorry. :rolleyes:

What about Ross Co, Partick and Killie? Each of them are less than 25 points ahead

[Weststandwanab]

What about Ross Co, Partick and Killie? Each of them are less than 25 points aheadAt present Hearts are 23/24 points behind them and after the loose to both United and us that differential will still exist but only a maximum of another 21 points available so the Jambos cannot catch any of the three.

It is vitall that St. Mirren pick up only 1 or 2 points before the derby for us to be able to relegate them that day.

[Spike Mandela]

It's simple. Heart's need to be 22-24 points behind their nearest rivals for us to be able to relegate them with a win.

They need to be 23-24 points behind their nearest rivals for us to relegate them with a draw.

If they are 25 points behind their nearest rivals they are already relegated when we play them.

If they are 21 points or less behind their nearest rivals we can't relegate them next week.

Maybe I'm just being really thick here but I don't think that's right.

If St Mirren pick up 4 points in their next 3 games, they can't be caught by Hearts if they lose tomorrow against Dundee Utd. I understand that much.

However, even if Hearts lose tomorrow and St Mirren pick up 4 points before the derby, then they could still catch Ross County and Partick Thistle before the derby kicks off, as things stand.

They are 23 points behind both of them at the moment so if they both lose all of their games before the derby is played then they'll kick off the derby 23 points behind 11th place with 24 points still to play for.

If we then beat them on the 30th, they'll be 23 points behind 11th place with only 21 points to play for.

AKA relegated. :partyhibb

Surely that's right? :confused:

If hearts are already down when we play them that would probably be equally as good a party. I'd rather beat them but hibs are likely to crumble under the pressure of it IMO and send us all home disappointed.

[sleeping giant]

Hibs can't beat an egg just now so I would be surprised if we defeated them at Tynie.

I predict a boring draw :cb

[Onion]

Best case would be the Yams needing to win to avoid relegation. A draw or a Hibs win to put them down. Nae pressure on the Yams :greengrin

[HibbyAndy]

So for Hibs to relegate the cheats next week what result we wanting tonight?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Utd win.
