Absolute legend - think we would all love to be the one that scores the goal to relegate them.

Cummings to come on and score the winner and put them down in the last ten minutes. :thumbsup::flag::greengrin

“As a Hibs fan and a player, I’d love to go out there and put the final nail in the coffin and relegate them,” Riordan told the Evening News. “It’s a massive game. It’ll go down in history if Hibs can put Hearts down.

“I would love the chance to play in a game like that. It’ll be brilliant to play in; it’ll be a mad day. Every derby’s the same – they’re always important games – but there would be nothing more special for the Hibs fans than Hearts getting relegated.”

With their team preparing to play out the season in the bottom six for the fourth year in succession, Riordan feels that Hibs, who have played second fiddle to Hearts for much of the modern era, owe it to their long-suffering fans to ensure they rise to the occasion and give them a positive memory from what looks like being their last visit to Tynecastle for at least a season.

“After all they’ve gone through, it would at least give the fans something back if Hibs could relegate Hearts,” said Riordan, who is now at Alloa Athletic.

“Since I was a wee boy growing up, Hearts have always been the stronger team until the past few seasons, when it’s got a bit more equal. The big money Hearts were spending was always going to catch up with them.

“It was just a matter of time, so in a way they deserve it.”

What a strange way to see it.

Don't be so afraid. As bad as we are, we can at least try to believe in ourselves going into a derby that would relegate them. Note that again/ RELEGATE them!!

Chin up and stop worrying about 'them'. As the man said "they deserve it" :greengrin:

All the positive chat comes from ex Hibees. Our problem is that we seem to generate Hibs daft talents that we can't keep, and who end up talking big around the match, whereas the players going onto the pitch will be…..

Exactly need to man up as a club and go there and dominate the gimps.

Deek's comments should be a massive motivation to the players as it is a great opportunity to end a very poor run and get the fans back onside with them.

Good on him, cut from the same cloth as me, and unlike me was, and might be again in a position to do something about it.

Injured apparently. Not been in the last few squads. Didn't score in the 3 or 4 games he had before although all were from the bench I believe. To add O'connor's having an equally bad time, only got the 1 goal and has been dropped to the bench on occasion.

Has made two sub appearances for Alloa before getting injured in the Morton game where he was clattered and picked up the injury, has been back in training this week so hopefully see him in the squad for Saturday against Raith Rovers.
