When have we beat them when it mattered

[Irish_Steve]

Is there a psychological problem when it comes to beating Hearts?

Yes, we have had some good victories against them but I cannot remember any games were the result really mattered. The 06 semi and the 2012 cup final we were awful and in games were we could have relegated them, we`ve stuffed it up.

How can we not be up for the fight, soft as dog-doo

Scottish Cup 2016

So aye, en route to our last two trophies. Pish thread.

Said the same in the other thread and got called out as a Hearts fan.

It’s a hard pill to swallow but it’s true. In my lifetime - 2016, 2017 in the Scottish Cup. 2007 in the league cup.

I am quite negative when it comes to Hibs. I’ll hold my hands up, but when the draw for the semi was made I instantly had a feeling of they will beat us. Nothing to do with form etc. It’s just what I’m used to seeing.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Hibs really don’t make life easy for us.

This game didn’t matter anymore or any less than the Boxing Day derby, it wasn’t to relegate them, it was a run of the mill league derby, and we have won plenty of them. Lost more than our fair share, but to say we haven’t ever won a derby ‘when it mattered’ is amusing to say the least.

The above and the game at ER 2012 when we knocked them out the Scottish. Shortest reign of a club since 1893 .

Point taken. But the point I was trying to make was that the game en route to the 2016 final wasn`t a semi nor a final, games in which they always seem to step up and we freeze

So is it only semis and finals we’re including? Is a quarter final good enough or does it not fit the point being made?

Correct!

[Tommy75]

The win at Tiny under Heckingbottom mattered as it took us above them and in to the top 6 did it not?

Edit. Should add, every derby matters.

Quite. What an absolutely humming thread.

Tonight was not a semi or a final so it does not matter :rolleyes:
