[Scouse Hibee]

1-0 Liverpool great finish from Sturridge

[Scouse Hibee]

2-0 Lovren

[Moulin Yarns]

Blooming heck, how much help are the Jambos getting? Guess the referee???

[Pretty Boy]

Blooming heck, how much help are the Jambos getting? Guess the referee???

Rangers at Ibrox and Hearts with Thomson in their corner.

This could be the fairest refereeing performance we will see all season if the cancelling out effect works properly.

[Stranraer]

If only I had Sky Sports :rolleyes: Hearts, City and St. Johnstone to win 24/1 :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers: Bell Foster McCulloch Zaliuskas Wallace Templeton Black Law MacLeod Miller Boyd

Hearts: Alexander McGhee Ozturk Wilson McHattie King Gomis Buaben Nicholson Sow Carrick

On paper there isn't much to fear from either of those 2 teams.

[J-C]

Louis Suarez who?? Liverpool have been phenomenal, leading 4-0 and cruising, they seem to have 4-5 players in attack at times and the pace they play at is frightening, won't be far off top spot again on this early form.

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers start the better team. Early corner and Hearts keeper looked uncomfortable under the high ball.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Gwaaaan the poool!

[Pretty Boy]

Hearts look a ****ing shambles at the back in the 1st few minutes.

[Diclonius]

Anyone else's Sky Sports gone down?

[dar]

Yes

[SteveHFC]

Anyone else's Sky Sports gone down?

Aye

[I'm_cabbaged]

Back on :-)

[Scouse Hibee]

Yes on Virgin it's gone :grr:

[crewetollhibee]

Yes

No just me then, no point phoning them.

[blackpoolhibs]

How the f did he miss that?:confused:

[SteveHFC]

Was .net down for a few mins?

[dmc1875]

Hearts looking dodgy at the back. Thought ozturk was supposed to be the next cannavaro?

[Wotherspiniesta]

Templeton :taxi

[Pretty Boy]

Sitter by Templeton.

Hearts playing a brand of football that looks like it was inspired by Butcher. Then again it is Levein running the show so I should have expected that.

[I'm_cabbaged]

How's that mcghee still on the park? Get runners at him next week, he's rank rotten.yams are trying to pass the ball out but arnae good enough to do it, press them high up the park.

[lord bunberry]

I will be amazed if hearts finish with 11 men

[Pretty Boy]

We gave a far better account of ourselves at Ibrox on Tuesday than this lot have managed today. Pretty much all Rangers.

[hfc rd]

Yep. Hope Matt Kennedy is ready.

[Pretty Boy]

I thought this Ozturk boy was a hybrid of Nesta and Costacurta? ****ing woeful.

Buaben is like bambi on ice as well and the rest of them just look terrified. Get in their faces next week and they are there for the taking.

[Diclonius]

They're never there for the taking in derbies. You can guarantee that they will all play like they've been injected with a metric ton of speed, even if they get beat 10-0 today.

We have to match them for attitude. IF we do, we have just as much of a chance as they do.

[Scott Allan Key]

Even at Ibrox with Thomson, Levein's thug tactics are drawing cards. Could be a different line-up next week.

[Pretty Boy]

Big Zaliuseless should be doing better therr.

[HoboHarry]

Even at Ibrox with Thomson, Levein's thug tactics are drawing cards. Could be a different line-up next week.
Naw naw.... RN is in charge of the team.....:tee hee:

[snooky]

I will be amazed if hearts finish with 11 men
Shirley not - they've got Thomson out there FFS!

[I'm_cabbaged]

This is ****ing woeful.

[Pretty Boy]

Naw naw.... RN is in charge of the team.....:tee hee:

Yep. RN is definitely in charge. That's the story and they're sticking to it.

The fact he playes exactly the same brand of 'football' as Potter is a total coincedence.

[SanFranHibs]

Shirley not - they've got Thomson out there FFS!

3 bookings so far for Hearts.

A lot of B&B's in glasgow jealous of that stat.

[Pretty Boy]

Hearts looking a bit better now. Couple of decent chances.

[lord bunberry]

Shirley not - they've got Thomson out there FFS!

True

[Pretty Boy]

Half time.

Utter garbage.

[lord bunberry]

Half time.

Utter garbage.

It's typical Craig Levein, big physical players with a bit of pace thrown in.

[Borderhibbie76]

Not exactly quaking in our boots from either of these 2 TBH judging by Sevco against us on Tues and now this...Sow lools decent for Yams but him apart the rest look average...

[Unseen work]

Osman Sow looks very impressive

[lord bunberry]

Osman Sow looks very impressive

By impressive do you mean utter pish?

[AK86]

they canny half mix it up the Poppy thieves.that mchattie is dung

[Thecat23]

Crap first half. The Rangers just slightly better and should be ahead. Sow the only one that seems alright. If we press Hearts up the park and get in their faces we won't lose the game.

[Sylar]

I expected better from both teams really. It's all fair and well Rangers having 'proven' scorers in Boyd and Miller up front but they're lazy and won't create their own chances and the service into them is dreadful.

Hearts have looked OK on the counter but with no cutting edge. Sow looks fairly physical but comfortable and King has made some decent breaks down the line.

Definitely agree with the consensus - very little to fear here.

[hibs0666]

Osman Sow looks very impressive

He'd be about 6 foot 8 if he had a neck.

[Unseen work]

By impressive do you mean utter pish?

Causing problems, big aggressive and skilful, couple of good flicks to put hearts On counter attack and good crosses too. Will cause problems for us next week IMO!

[SaulGoodman]

Poor mans Alagui

[NAE NOOKIE]

Off subject, but according to the radio Legia Warsaw have issued an open letter to celtic asking them to abide by their glorious history and agree to a one off match in either Warsaw or Glasgow to settle things on the park in the spirit of the game.

Some chance

[NAE NOOKIE]

On subject.

From the radio coverage it sounds like the The Rangers cant get Boyd and Miller involved and the Yams are giving as good as they get. Game could go either way by the sound of it. Sow sounds like a handful.

[ScottB]

I doubt the rules would allow that.

In any case, what club would risk giving up the possible millions awaiting them? 'Honour' or not, I'd be furious if Hibs risked that to appease another club that while unlucky, have been the victim of something that was entirely their own fault.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Ffs

[Pretty Boy]

Goal Wilson.

Desperate defending at a corner from Rangers.

[NAE NOOKIE]

0 - 1 ....... Nae surprise the Zombies are rank

[SaulGoodman]

World beaters

[SanFranHibs]

Who would have thought half way through last season that Hibs and Hearts would soon be having a potential table topping derby match?

:greengrin


Id still prefer a draw here.

[lord bunberry]

This league is there for the taking if these 2 teams are our main rivals

[Pretty Boy]

Fat Sally must be a NAP to be sacked early doors.

He's had a small fortune to spend and they are utter pish.

[bigwheel]

can see Hearts scoring again on the counter as Rangers chase this game...

[SteveHFC]

This league is there for the taking if these 2 teams are our main rivals

And if those Griffiths rumours are true ;)

I doubt they could afford the wages for another manager as they would have to keep paying Swally.....

Mind you perhaps we could talk them into employing Butcher .....

[Pretty Boy]

Tbf to him if they keep up current performance levels there's a good chance they'll make top 4.

Hoping for a red card soon

I love Griffiths mate. Would be delighted if he comes back

[Pretty Boy]

Hearts keeper looking likely to be stretchered off with a head knock. Looks a bad one.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Are Miller and Boyd still on the park? Only got radio and neither mentioned since half time. Wee Coisty had better start looking at getting his gig back on question of sport.

The current bun forums will be a laugh a minute tonight.

[SanFranHibs]

You love his mate too?

Remember this is a family show !

Thank your kids !! Very little happening in this game. 'Rangers ahve given their fans very little to get excited about'" Hearts just received their 6th red card.

[SanFranHibs]

Six minutes injusry time.

Law 1 - 1

[SaulGoodman]

Yaaaaaasss

[SaulGoodman]

Not yaaaassss

[Pretty Boy]

Yesssssss! That's got to hurt. A draw is lovely today.

[SanFranHibs]

2 - 1 hearts

[grunt]

Yesssssss! That's got to hurt. A draw is lovely today.Except ...

[Pretty Boy]

**** off

[MWHIBBIES]

Not fussed tbh, if we win all our games it doesn't matter about either of them.

[SanFranHibs]

about 2 minutes of injury time to go.

[Pretty Boy]

I think the lesson from Tuesday, yesterday and today is a simple one: you have to take your chances.

[SanFranHibs]

Hearts will be a team that can challenge Rangers all the way this season !

A lot of boooos at the end. FT.

P.S. the opening statement was from the t.v. It is of course not mine.

In the Media?

:dunno:

[grunt]

The Rangers didn't lose a game in the league at all last season.

[StarMan10]

We bit surprised Stubbs didn't have a look at Sow if we indeed have the chance. Looked good today

[Callum_62]

:confused: whats going on there? or an old GIF?

Either way its quality

[cabbageandribs1875]

Aberdeen 0 Dundee utd 1, shocker for the dons defender taylor

[bigwheel]

Not fussed tbh, if we win all our games it doesn't matter about either of them.

Lol. Are you expecting us to win all out games ? No team will do that - i think most teams in our league will take points of of any team...no one will run away with this league

[Borderhibbie76]

Jeezo calm doon ah?? 1 swallow does not make a summer n all that pal...

[SanFranHibs]

Still go to love some oif it though.....The game has just finished at Ibrox but they still manage to inform us that Hearts started last year at -15 but actually got more points than Hibs. Not more than Killie or any one else. Got to love it.

Well, next week if we keep Sow quiet and defend set pieices well we should have 3 points more than them after next weeks derby.

[BarneyK]

How did we not beat them?

We got a man sent off, and played a hell of a lot better than the yams here. Not too worried on that showing. The boy Sow looks a handful though.

[YehButNoBut]

Dundee Utd just gone 1 up at Aberdeen

Arsenal 1 up over Man City great goal by Cazorla

[Callum_62]

Thought Hearts looked more than decent to be fair

They've built a decent unit from what I seen

Still got to fancy Rangers for there depth of squad (altho is it just deep crap??) :greengrin

[BarneyK]

No team will do that - i think most teams in our league will take points of of any team...no one will run away with this leagueNo I don't expect us to win all of our games but we should be aiming to go and win the league, not be expecting others to lose it for us.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Ross co 0 st.johnstone 1

[SanFranHibs]

Jeezo calm doon ah?? 1 swallow does not make a summer n all that pal...

Next week will be a good measuring stick for us though.

[Pretty Boy]

Fair play to Hearts.

Utterly woeful for 35 minutes but didn't concede. Grew into the game and took their chances when they came. They are well beatable though.

As for Rangers. Garbage. Even allowing for their slow starts they are poor. We would have beaten them with 11 on Tuesday and, playing their favoured formation, they lost today. Absolutely nothing to fear.

The thing with this league is that every dropped point is crucial so we can't afford any silly slip ups. Going to be an exciting season ahead.

[BarneyK]

After midweek, I fancied Hearts to win here, but they actually didn't play as well as I thought they would.

[Pretty Boy]

Andy Walker :agree:

Still a complete roaster.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Still a complete roaster.

Sets the standard for all roasters

[Ronniekirk]

I think the lesson from Tuesday, yesterday and today is a simple one: you have to take your chances.

Another way to look at this game is that if you get into financial trouble Administration is the preferred route than Liquidation to get out of those Financial Troubles . Hearts managed to hold on to the nucleus of promising young players and in Bauben and Gomez they have brought in experience and Sow was pinpointed as someone who would score regularly .
McCoist won't last as Manager and they are desperately trying to get new Financial backing while having to cut back on costs so they may not be able to strengthen . Ibrox was so quiet that you wonder if their fans will back them if they continue to play like that as they were indeed poor. So difficult to know how good Hear7s are but the game at Tyne-castle will now put pressure on them to go top so let's see how they handle that .

[Aldo]

Still a complete roaster.

This along with the ***** on Sportsound. (They would of had loads of Kleenex today after the yams win the day).

I am more than happy for folk to write us off and we go about our own business week in week out.

Let's face it regardless of how we play or results we get we will still get negative comments from the majority of the media.

Just keep pinning up ***** like that on the dressing room wall.

As for Andy Walker I wouldn't let that prick anywhere near ER ever again.

Richard Gordon will of went from the highs of the yams winning to well deeper than a Vlad sub??

[NAE NOOKIE]

Nae denying it, this is a good result for the Yams and will give them a boost for next Sunday. It will be interesting to see what AS can come up with to combat Sow, who sounds like a danger. By the sound of the Yams physical approach to this game we will have to win the battle before the football can start.

Having said that ..... The deficiencies of the current buns, especially in midfield, are becoming obvious. Perhaps getting a result at Castle Grayskull doesn't carry the impact it used to. The Yams right back sounds like a weak link got to get at him early.

I think we should go out and try and play football tbh.

Let them do the kicking etc but we need to be up for it plain and simple. Let them worry bout us.

Think we will see Heff dropping out for Handling. Football will win the day.

[hibsbollah]

Didn't watch the game but Craig Thomson booked 6 Hearts players to 2 Rangers players and gave 26 fouls to 12 in Rangers favour?

[Tyler Durden]

Didn't watch the game but Craig Thomson booked 6 Hearts players to 2 Rangers players and gave 26 fouls to 12 in Rangers favour?

I actually still felt he was generous to Hearts. McHattie had a reckless 2 footed lunge that went entirely unpunished. Sow had a challenge on Black muh worse than Handlings which only received a booking.

Both those decisions were still understandable but the major blunder/favour by Thomson was failing to send off the Hearts RB McGhee. Already on a yellow he had a clear studs first challenge and should've been off. No second yellow, Hearts score soon after and sub the boy.

[Aldo]

Don't read too much into Hearts' injuries before an Edinburgh derby. They always make a miraculous recovery in time to play against Hibs.

[lord bunberry]

Just spoke to a jambo and apparently it's between us and the rangers for second place and we're going to park the bus next week and play for a draw. That's the level of delusion we're dealing with here. Having read this thread it appears some on here are falling for their mindless ramblings.
