We're too nice and "respectful of the rivalry" where that mob are concerned. There's an expectation level and indeed a sense of entitlement about this fixture around them that we would actually do well to copy. Paul Hanlon's "treat it like another game" comments this week highlight that.

We're too prissy where that mob's concerned, and always have been.

They've been allowed to set the narrative about their "demotion" and not being "relegated" too, in fact that was the line they were allowed to punt this week, aided and abetted by their lap dogs on the BBC, and that's before we mention their mates at the Cooncil bending over backwards (again) in letting their stand be passed as "safe" for opening - we should have been chirping about that as well.

Time to up the stakes across the board, Hibernian - if that harms the relationship at Board level between the two clubs, then that's tough, IMO.
