They are not mutually exclusive. We can laugh at Hearts whilst still being concerned about us.

[Austinho]

Is this what it has come to .Basking in Hearts abject Leaguy Cup record.Personally more concerned about how Hibs are doing which currently is *****.I’d say our rivals are a reasonable marker for where we are as a club, and that’s us having won a trophy in the past decade and them not. That’s us having won more trophies in my dad’s lifetime, in my nephew’s lifetime and the same number of trophies in my lifetime - all without stolen Lithuanian tax money, stolen poppy money, tax loopholes and rich benefactors coming to the rescue. We might not always perform to the standard we expect, but when times are tough I look across the city and thank the lord we aren’t the most underperforming team in Scotland, and haven’t blown over £100 million over the years on literally nothing, for literally nothing.

Wee look over the road and not happy with a few players.

Someone says shankland can't lead the line on his own and needs help.

Haring is their Joe Newell from the looks of it slowing down play.

Sibbick still getting it from all ends.

Corners are *****

But then we get it's only the league cup so do we really care?

For such a big team they ain't have hurting tonight about the wee cup.

[gbhibby]

Yes it is. You were close. We all know our situation just enjoy their misery it's what rivalry is all about.

But can he play in midfield?😁

there’s about 10 threads on here where you can talk about your concern for Hibs.

yet you’re all over this one, which is there to provide a little light humoured relief to Hibs fans, talking about your concern for Hibs.

back on track and here’s one about Hibs, just for you. The biggest competitive hammering ever dished out in the history of the Edinburgh Derby was still over a decade away from happening.

[JimBHibees]

Yep we could do with a bit of German physicality in midfield :greengrin

I’m going to totally disagree.

Before the season started my maroon chums said they’d be doing this and doing that given they are far superior in terms of budget than anyone else outwith the OF.

They have blown what 50-60 million in the last few years and the only thing they’ve won is relegation no sorry demotion!

My phone has been so quiet this evening it’s so funny. Not one response and nothing this morning either.

So with the extra 5 plus million than everyone else they have a pissy little squad and a few games into the season the players are all exhausted.

All very pleasing this morning!

Most people can go for a slash and whistle at the same time. If you can't enjoy your rivals losing a vital cup game, what's the point?

Hearts are a club who bang on about WW2 but stole the poppy money, talk about their magnificent atmosphere when they can barely muster a song for 90 minutes, and despite financial doping at industrial levels have got a terrible, terrible record at actually winning anything. But still, they manage to have a superiority complex???

Let us enjoy ourselves.

PSG were still around a decade away from being formed.

[One Day Soon]

Not only have they not won it for 60 years, they've also only made it to the final twice since then.

During the same period we've won it three times and been in the final ten times.

Partick Thistle, St Mirren, Livingston, St Johnstone and Dundee all have better records than Hearts during that period, all having won it at least once and appeared in as many or more finals.

Great job lads. Still, 'big team' eh?

[heretoday]

Hearts team in 1962 had Willie Hamilton and Johnny Hamilton (dubbed The Rat by Hibees). We used to go to Hibs one week and Hearts the next so both teams were familiar faces and the personnel didn't change so quickly season to season as it does now.

[Northernhibee]

It had been the same amount of years of Hibs having previously won the Scottish Cup then as it is now from Hearts last winning the league cup.

[RIP]

The other pleasing thing about this thread is that none of the usual trolls are joining in the laughter at the Yam Fuds.

Y’ken, the ones that don’t know the streets around Easter Road, can’t remember details about the game they were supposedly at yet still try and convince us that they speak on behalf of all Hibs fans.

Maybe they’re in their beds 😂

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

You ought to read the excuses about it not being a big enough cup to win 🤣🤣🤣

[AltheHibby]

This Granddad wasn't yet born.

Okay, I was born the next day, so I can still say that they haven't won it in my lifetime.

[A Hi-Bee]

Seen my first ever League Cup final Hibs v Celtic 1968/69 season, the game had been postponed from the October when we would have beat them as we was flying as they say, we got stuffed 6-2 as for the hertz **** them, try saying it, go on its easy everyone now **** the hertz.
