Scottish Cup 4th round - Hibs v Hearts

[SHODAN]

Tomorrow after the Ayr game.

From a purely selfish perspective I'd love a trip to Queen's Park, Raith, Alloa, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Stirling Uni or Linlithgow.

No semi finals this year just back to getting emptied in early rounds.

Can’t be arsed checking but when you say back to, how many years ago is that?

[Sir David Gray]

18/19 was the last time we failed to reach at least the semi finals of the Scottish Cup - losing to Celtic in the quarter finals.

Was this the game Hecky managed us in? A really dreadful negative performance that day

Probably be Hearts away .

[Pretty Boy]

Drumchapel would be one I'd like.

Obviously it's all but a gimme on the park (famous last words) but it would also be a hell of a tie for a West of Scotland League team. I played Drumchapel back in their amateur days and they were a great side then both on and off the park.

It was a trip that was intimidating on the face of it back then, their park was slap bang in the middle of the scheme and 5 minutes before kick off just about every door opened and the crowd must have numbered hundreds. We played them the same day Scotland played Italy in a qualifier (1-1 I think) and they invited us to a pub to watch it. It was without doubt the scariest looking boozer I have ever seen from the outside but they couldn't have been more welcoming. A club I'm glad to see doing well.

[SteveHFC]

Elgin or Inverness away

[Pagan Hibernia]

the warning signs were there for hecky that day. Miserable submissive effort. Complete contrast to what we had been used to against the old firm in the previous few years.

we do seem to have had great consistency in the Scottish cup over the last decade (while winning very few of them of course)

Over the last 11 years prior to this season we've reached at least the semi finals of the Scottish Cup 8 times. The only times we haven't managed that were losses to Celtic, Hearts and Raith Rovers so really just one loss in there which would be considered as a shock.

[Forza Fred]

Hearts at home please

[hibby rae]

Elgin or Darvel away

I like a fun trip in the early rounds.

I'd say Ayr as well if they weren't flying. But could see us getting them, like Arbroath last year.

[Broken Gnome]

Something horrible like Falkirk away, just to raise the spirits.

[Bobby's Cinema]

The sad thing is there's not a single premiership team I'd be too confident about playing home or away at the moment.
Any lower league team away from home would be best.

[Hermit Crab]

We will get the Huns or Celtic away knowing our luck and form at the moment.

[Steve20]

No semi finals this year just back to getting emptied in early rounds.

Or let’s lose to StJohnstone in the semi final or even the final again because that’s acceptable because we made it there.

Getting to a semi final or final is meaningless if we don’t win it. The mentality at this club needs to be aiming to WIN cups, not just ‘a nice wee run’

Jeez we now have people raging about a tournament that hasn't even been played yet.

Yip appears there is nothing to like about being a Hibs supporter.
And there it is, at least it's at home.

Yeah Premier will show Celtic v Morton and St Johnstone v Rangers and BBC will show Hibs v Hearts and one other - probably Darvel v Aberdeen.

[Jones28]

So it is. Put a nappy on and hope for the best.

Home draw is a massive advantage and one we should be looking forward to knocking that lot out . Bring it on.

They just hack him all over the park though! Maybe not a bad thing

[Unseen work]

I’m telling you, we’re beating rangers the first game back and will go undefeated until the Scottish cup game where we’ll gub hearts.

Nisbet and McKirdy together and fit will be clinical and will change our misses to goals

[The dalmeny]

alphabetical order, no?

[MWHIBBIES]

Happens way to often to be an accident now. Really boring. We've played them 6 times in 7 years? Now in the cup.

At least its at home. Might give us a chance.

[hibby rae]

TBH I'm quite bored by that tie.

Whole fun of the first round of the cup is playing someone and somewhere we never go, not a team we never see the back of.

[Carheenlea]

A game that may be pivotal to LJ’s future. If performances and results are still a bit all over the place, a win can spark the season ino life. Defeat may see managerial change.

[Stuart93]

It’s difficult to look forward to “knocking them out” considering how poor we are just now.

[JamesHFC]

We are in for some really tough fixtures through December and January. Things are already at a low, two Derby defeats would cause a lot more anger.

Fancy us to win the cup game at home against them though.

[Silky]

Thats us out

Funny how, when Johnson talks about the players mentslity he gets slated, but it's OK for us to do it. Perhaps the supposed mental weakness the players have in those games emanates from the support?

[Smartie]

The only thing we have going for us going into this game is Robbie Neilson.

This is a horrific draw for Ron Gordon as a bad result here will pile pressure on him and it’s hard to see any of the stuff required to win a derby anywhere in this Hibs squad.

[Alfred E Newman]

That’s a bit of nightmare on current form and without Boyle.

Never mind, we’ll bring in some loan players in the January window.

[H18 SFR]

Totally agree. Weaker in the stands than we are on the pitch in my opinion.

[Swedish hibee]

Hearts at home please

In keeping with your correct prediction, your starting the match day thread that day!

[darwenhibby]

We’ll see what we are made of in the next few weeks!!
C’mon Hibs🇳🇬🇳🇬

I just want to be clear. I’m not blaming the support for anything.

[Del Boy]

How soon do they announce tv games and times? Hoping it will stay on Saturday but assuming Sunday is more likely

[Jones28]

Totally agree. Weaker in the stands than we are on the pitch in my opinion.

The supporters aren’t the ones that go and kick the ball. That’s the players, and the idea you’re beaten in the stands is utter nonsense. I’ve been to enough derbies where we’ve been confident of victory only to be booted in the balls.

Aye, it is because we are not paid several thousands of pounds a week to win football matches. Something that the team have barely done all season and don't look like doing anytime soon.

I am paying a small fortune to watch the crap show the players are putting on, I've every right to feel aggrieved.

[truehibernian]

Can’t wait 👍 any chance to pap Hearts out the cup should be embraced by the players and no fear shown. Neither side playing great, all to play for - get into them 👍

120 minutes and penalties if needed to send them up the road.

Considering we all keep going to watch them each week we must have some mental strength on the pitch.

Hopefully the Friday night game! Actually is there a Friday night game or is it 2 Saturday fixtures? Usually One Sunday lunchtime/afternoon and then one Monday night.

BBC have went for the Thursday night a few times. Including us v ICT fairly recently.

[truehibernian]

Same way they were going to ‘scud’ us in 2013 and same way they were going to ‘scud us’ when we were in the league below in 2016 ?

Evenly matched teams this season, both inconsistent and could go either way - it’ll be tight and I can’t wait for any derby at any age level. Lots of incentives and crowd getting behind them will be vitally important. Personally can’t wait for this game. January window crucial too.

Its almost guaranteed to be the Sunday 12pm. Police will most definitely see to that.

If LJ isn't gone before then, getting knocked out the cup by Hearts will certainly see him reach the point of no return. It's a negative outlook but there's not a lot to be positive about right now is there? I can see us sitting in the bottom two or three in the league by then and failing to come close to selling out our tickets for the cup game.

It's an awful draw. I'd rather an instantly forgettable exit away to the likes of Killie than a high profile home defeat to Hearts.

[Carheenlea]

Friday night would likely be the most popular slot amongst the fans should the game be moved for TV, so probably won’t be that.

Will go for an early Sunday to suck what joy they can out of the premier fixture in the draw instead.

[Crab apple]

Reasonably happy with this draw. We've a decent home record against them in cup games and Robbie Replay will be under pressure to win at Easter Road. I'd have been more worried with an away draw against a championship team.

Hope it’s not a Friday as if we get pumped then have the whole weekend to be depressed about it.

This team hasn't given us much to believe in. It's no surprise to me some folk do t see this going well.

I very much doubt it.

In the same way that all of us posting positive vibes seldom works. It certainly hasn't for the last 7 or 8 games!!

Fans posting on here have zero impact on performances or results. Never have, never will.

You are probably right.

There was a spell of 4 derbies in a row I think of night time derbies at Easter Road where we won all 4. Cup 2016 ( Feb,Tues 1-0), Cup 2017 ( Feb, Tues 3-1), League 2017 ( Oct Tues, 1-0) then League 2018 ( Mar, Fri 2-0). Absolutely brilliant nights all of them. If its a night time game under the lights, I'm getting excited.:greengrin

[wookie70]

Another chance for a SOL and another chance to pap them out the cup. Hopefully Nisbet will come good and we get a couple of signings in that make us click. We have nothing to fear as they aren't exactly setting the world on fire either. One thing for sure is that LJ will have lots of chances in the next couple of months to get the fans on side.

[Donegal Hibby]

We've beaten them before and can do it again :flag::flag:
Bring it on . GGTTH.

Thats us out

Standard

[B.H.F.C]

If December/January wasn’t make or break for LJ, it definitely is now IMO. I’m no exactly overjoyed with the draw with the nick we’re in but it’s a tie we can definitely win because they’re not exactly brilliant themselves.

[Silky]

I very much doubt it.

Fans posting on here have zero impact on performances or results. Never have, never will.

It can eminate from the stands though. Fans are often said to be the "12th man" when right behind the side and roaring them on. We've seen it before. And the reverse can have an effect too. Nervousness and negativity can also impact on the players. Fans going into the game with the defeatest attitude can filter down. No evidence to suggest that negativity on here does not translate to negativity in the stands and, in turn, negative vibes impacting on the match. Saying it "never does, never will" is, imo disingenuous.

[Colinton Hibby]

Really cant understand all the negativity. It’s Hearts ffs, not Real Madrid. Let’s get tore into these.
We’re at home - we are Hibees. Easter Road is made for games like this.

Usual negative anti-hibs post from you. You ever considered football isnt your thing? Of course its a tough tie especially the way we are playing but these games are potentially what we all want as fans. You can ram your forgettable exit to killie...lets put them out the cup...again. If we get beat...thats life.

Jeezo, just p*"" off, you must be a hoot at parties

[California-Hibs]

Just remember, as both a player and as a manager, Robbie Neilson has NEVER experienced winning at Easter Road. Ever.

He doesn't know the feeling and I predict we'll continue that trait.

[Heisenberg]

Few absolute *****bags on here as usual. Robbie replay bottles it at ER every single time. Let’s hope this is no different. Certainty won’t be declaring we are out before a ball is kicked.

[Since452]

In all honesty it's the last draw I would have wanted. We're in shocking form. Does that make me a ***** bag? Probably.

Lot of pessimism around here, but Hibs should really be aware a 12pm Sunday TV kick off - for example - means selling 16k tickets is a loooooong shot.

Unless form improves and they price it properly.

The game will be close to a sell out regardless. Something very badly wrong will have to have happened if not.

[Aldo]

Let’s not kid ourselves on here nobody wanted this draw at this stage especially with or form and injuries.

It’s winnable.

On a side note do we think Mikey Stewart will constantly go on about injuries to our key players etc??

No, you're just being realistic. I respect the bravado from a few but I struggle to believe any Hibs fan seriously regards this as a 'bring it on' tie based on our current abysmal form and our record against Hearts of late.

I don’t see it as a “bring it on” tie, I would’ve preferred Stirling Uni at home obviously. My issue is with those who have clearly shat it already and have us out of the cup. Mental. We are playing a Hearts side with a manager that has never won at ER in his entire career, that alone is enough to give me hope.

Who knows what we’ll look like as a team at the end of January.

[flash]

Hearts will sell out. Not a chance Hibs will if present form persists.

Maybe we should just withdraw from the tournament.

[Broken Gnome]

The game will be close to a sell out regardless. Something very badly wrong will have to have happened if not.

If you ignore the two replays, which were evening games, not on telly and had a feelgood factor for Hibs, we'll likely be a couple of thousand short. Pricing and form is a huge influence if we're needing season ticket holders to actually buy seats and find 5k walk-ups.

[marinello59]

No, you're just being realistic. I respect the bravado from a few but I struggle to believe any Hibs fan seriously regards this as a 'bring it on' tie based on our current abysmal form and our record against Hearts of late.

I see every single game against them as a bring it on tie. These are the games where emotions run the highest because the stakes are so high. It’s what it’s all about for me.

[I'm Spartacus]

Hahaha pass that big dooby round here pal, seems like a belter if you are seeing those 2 words as compatible in the same sentence.

[Sir David Gray]

We’ve a lot of tickets to sell, and it will probably be on TV too, so make this a sensible price

£35, £33 and £31 for adults in gold, silver and bronze areas respectively would be my guess.

[McGruber]

Think Newell is suspended for this game

Is he? No clue how the midfield lines up in a game like this without him. With Magennis always likely to be unavailable we are so short of ball playing centre mids.

About a month ago had high hopes for the second half of the season with Nisbet, McGeady, Boyle all back at the top end and Magennis up to speed in the middle.
Now Boyle is out, McGeady not likely to be back, Magennis back to the mystery rolling 2 week injury. Rumour Mykola out for months.

January is a massive window

[I'm Spartacus]

Hearts will sell out. Not a chance Hibs will if present form persists.

This game will sell out 100%, because the non-roasters know you support your team and be there, because you just never know!

[Smartie]

It could be the first attendance that properly jolts the Gordons and makes them realise that football fans are fickle, they don’t just rock up and pay top whack whatever the circumstances.

Even if Hibs just give us something to give us hope between now and then should see it respectable but if the next few games go as badly as they could go then the crowd could be a shocker.

Exactly the same for me. While I love an away day to a lower league ground in the Scottish these are still the ties that get the blood pumping the most, regardless of any form.

[Johnny_Leith]

Think Newell is suspended for this game

Someone please tell Hibs. If we get knocked out let's make sure it's not through an admin error.

Hearts will sell out. Not a chance Hibs will if present form persists.

Of course hearts will sell 3500 tickets. Just as hibs would at the bus shelter. The away support nearly always sells out, the home aupport regularly doesnt.

[MikeyS]

Really cant understand all the negativity. It’s Hearts ffs, not Real Madrid. Let’s get tore into these.
We’re at home - we are Hibees. Easter Road is made for games like this.

We've got a better record against Real Madrid, that's the problem!

Reasonable pricing would be nice. Might take my wee lass to her first derby if it is.

I’d be stunned if it’s not the usual sort of pricing. £30-£35 or whatever it is for an adult.

[neil7908]

Not my ideal draw given our current form.

However, by then we should have a few players back from injury and up to match sharpness (thinking Nisbet in particular).

And maybe a couple of new signings as well?

[Hermit Crab]

Maybe we should just withdraw from the tournament.


Nah, we think its far more sporting to let other teams knock us out.

Hopefully some back from injury and a Jan signing or 2.

The 3 players I'd look to first in our squad for the derby would be Porteous, Boyle and Newell. To very likely be without the 3 is a massive blow. None of them have a like for like replacement either. Magennis and McGeady would help but can't rely on either of them being fit.

That said, certainly don't feel like we can't go through - Hearts aren't great by any stretch

[Bostonhibby]

The good news is we have avoided Ross county, Livingston and St Johnstone.

Bring on the thieves.

We will if the board aren’t greedy and price it accordingly. It’s the weekend before payday so most won’t have had a wage since before Xmas.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Someone remind me, if the winner of the scottish cup is outside the top 3 in the league, do they start further in Europe than 3rd place the following season? And if the winner is in the top 3 does the European prize go to 4th in the league?

There is every chance we will have a new manager as well.

[LaMotta]

Lot of pessimism around here, but Hibs should really be aware a 12pm Sunday TV kick off - for example - means selling 16k tickets is a loooooong shot.

Unless form improves and they price it properly.


The game will be close to a sell out regardless. Something very badly wrong will have to have happened if not.

Day/kick off time will have an influence on tickets sold. If its Sunday lunch time then im almost certain its not a sell out. Night time slot any other day then sell out likely.

The spot hearts got this year was the cup winner spot. They got it because Rangers won the cup but already had a better European spot through the league.

If someone outside the top 3 wins the cup this year they’ll get the spot Hearts got with guaranteed group stage football and 3rd place will get a spot with no guarantees of group stage football.

If someone within the top 3 wins the cup then 3rd place will get the guaranteed group stage spot.

[flash]

Nah, we think its far more sporting to let other teams knock us out.

Our Cup record in the last 10 years or so is absolutely brilliant with semis and finals included.

Every team bar one gets beaten in a Cup so you are hardly making the point you probably think you are.

All up for grabs then. I'd say our best chance of success is going to have to be a cup ran over putting together a consistent run of form in the league.

Both teams need to agree to ticket prices.

Not sure why Hertz would agree to cheaper tickets when they will sell out regardless of price.

A stadium with gaps in the Home end will suit them just fine as it would us if other way round.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If we lose both games against Hearts, it would be hard to see LJ staying with any real level of support.
If we do well and win both games, that would buy him both credibility and time. Either way, something will change, whether it is the Manager, or the teams' fortunes.

I think that we will win both.

Pretty much what my post says.

The product on the park was truly awful last season.
The product this year had some positive feel about it but by the last three or four games we were right back to last year’s product.
Just have to hope we regain the early promise after this World Cup break.

However, I believe none of that will stop a derby cup tie drawing a close to full house. How many are left in the ground by full time will depend a lot on the performance on the night.

2014 was the last time we didn’t sell out a home Derby so not sure where you’ve got that from. The only way this doesn’t sell out is if we get pumped at tynie in the league

[Broken Gnome]

I do think that is slightly misleading in this scenario - it's a different kettle of fish to sell three sides of the ground, from a starting position of zero, for an early kick off at 30 quid a pop.

We had over 6,000 empty seats in a cup quarter final against Celtic three years ago.

It's not too controversial to say selling out our ground on some occasions - Hearts or otherwise - can become difficult if things ain't going well.

[LaMotta]

You mean like 13 years ago when the most recent derbies have all been sell outs.

2015 league derby at ER had only 13,530 at it. Since then I think we have had full houses every time.

2016 and 17 cup games weren't on the telly. Rest have all been on the TV I think. The current state of the team, and a dodgy kick off time could see it fail to sell out this time.

A good result at Tynie on the 3rd and we sell out no bother.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

I'll be there, but it wont get close to sell out - without a spectacular turn around in form.
A lot of Hibs fans (and Hearts fans do it as well) go into hiding when expecting the worse.

Good job there wasn't social media or message boards around when I religiously went to the derby games in the 80'90s, through both those horrendous runs against them :boo hoo:.
This place would have imploded, if it had been around then.

Get behind the boys, as we will always be Hibs, they will always be the manky lot #GGTTH

[GreenGray]

£35, £33 and £31 for adults in gold, silver and bronze areas respectively would be my guess.

If it’s these prices we won’t sell out and it’ll be embarrassing. With the game being last week before January pay day after Christmas they should make them cheaper.

[Mikey_1875]

So the singing section get guaranteed seating but nobody else does?

I get what you mean that if it was just a free for all there would be no guarantees that the singing section/block 7 would be able to secure a ticket for that area.

For the purposes of a trial I probably would guarantee them seating in that area for this match (assuming they have ST). Then if the trials were successful for next season work under the assumption that they would have STs for that area and we can go back to the normal way of reserving your ST seat.

[HH81]

But that's not arranging the singing section in there? Could be anyone.

I don't think needs to be arranged. You sell tickets to a singing section, people buying in there will understand they need to sing, hopefully 😁

I don’t know for certain but I guess that block 7 would have had contact with the club in organising the trials at the previous games we have trialled it in the FF. They’d probably sit in the current section at the end of the east as well.

So far as they're STs that's more palatable. I think they might struggle to fill more than a section of the FFL though

I just think that until safe standing is brought in (someone said Ron was hinting at it being next season?) nobody should have priority in any section of ER, even if the FFL doesn't offer the best seats!
