QOS perhaps proving today that their win over us in the League Cup no fluke.

Houston, he has a problem.

Dundee United v Raith next week could be interesting.

Ayr already looking whipping boys at this stage of the season.

Morton, no Bobby Barr next week.

Us, embarrassment of riches. How do we fit Fontaine, Fyvie, Graham, and Shinnie into the starting line up?

Fyvie for Bartley, Graham for Holt, Shinnie for Keatings? No five at the back so Fontaine misses out.

Should be good enough to take Morton out.

Feel another 15,000+ coming on.

Yes .. I see Dobbie scored again, looking like a good signing for QOTS. Falkirk are having the start we all hoped they would and with Utd playing Raith we will gain whatever the result, provided we can put Morton away.

I said at the start of the season that from what I saw of Ayr Utd in their lucky play off win they would struggle, looks like they are going to.

I'm inclined to think not. Dunfermline was our first season ticket game and the cup final affect probably added more walk ups than usual to welcome the cup winners home as it were, Morton probably wont bring anything like the support Dunfermline did. My guess is just over 13,000 ..... If we hit 15,000 + I'll be surprised, not to mention delighted :greengrin

I don't see these teams as our rivals.

I think we will win this league with a 100percent record.

We should probably start playing our reserves. Keep the main men fresh for our inevitable Scottish Cup victory. In fact, we could play with my portly wife in goals and still win comfortably.

We are that good. It is very simple.

I think we can afford to be a bit more relaxed than that. I'd like to see some of our younger stars, Cummings, McGinn etc, given a year off and round the world plane tickets, so that they can travel, broaden their minds, emerging as more rounded human beings, and ultimately, footballers.

I'm planning to buy season tickets for our so called promotion 'rivals' and get round them all, laughing mildly and rolling my eyes in theatrical disdain at their paltry attempts to keep up with us.

I think we have to be a bit more concerned than most people seem to be. We need to think about half season ticket sales. I can't see us shifting many if the league is over in January. Play the laddies next week and concentrate on the iron bru cup.

My only concern is where the goals will come from if Cummings gets a bad injury. Keatings will get a few and hopefully Shinnie will be the goalscoring midfielder we've been looking for but don't see Holt getting too many this year. Keep Jason fit and we'll be OK. I think he's the only one in the squad now who is basically irreplaceable

When it has become clear that Hibs are certain for promotion the powers that be will reorganize the leagues to avoid either Hearts or Rangers being relegated. We may well have to content ourselves with another Scottish Cup win.

I thought Griff might struggle for game time under Rodgers when he brought in Dembele, but the wee man raised his game and it would be really difficult to put a price on him now. His header and free kick in the CL were just amazing. I can only dream that one day he will play for Hibs again.

I expect Raith will fall away anyway. Utd will be there abouts at the end of the season. The real favour would be Raith beating Utd - if you take the long term view.

For the players and staff, certainly there must be a degree of humility and respect for other clubs.

I think as a a fan it's your damned duty to shove the greatness of your club down the throats of other fans. I mean, have you seen our stadium for example? It's absolutely gorgeous, and the envy of every club in the country. Compare it to the absolute hovel (and this is not cheap points scoring) that our neighbours play in and we're laughing and skipping up St Clair St every home game.

We're the Scottish cup holders and we've got Sunshine On Leith, the most extolled and admired football song in the country (thank you, thank you Craig & Charlie Reid).
