Hearts are struggling to keep up with Hibs now, both on and off the field.
That’s my takeaway from the last 24 hours.

Exactly! Stop ****ting it from them. We go on about players not wanting it as much as their players do. Half our fans brick it as soon as a derby is close.

Feels like tonight maybe was a turning point - as frustrating as the draw was as Hearts were awful and ref cheated us.
That’s the first Derby where we have actually had some better players than some of our usual dross we have recruited.
Would definitely fancy beating them at Easter Road when we make top 6.
Then summer we should add more quality…would expect them to lose Shankland surely ??

I was saddened to see Jimmy Jeggo leave but I must confess I’ve acted like a bit of a harlot and moved on from that love affair rather quickly. My heart belongs to Moriah-Welsh now, what an absolute monster of a man.

Without vast help from referees this season Hearts would be bottom six. Without vast donations they would be looking at spending time in the Championship. When they stop benefiting from these things it will be squeeky bum time for them.

They're not going to stop benefiting from vast donations any time soon so to sit and wait expectantly for that is a waste of time and energy.
Hibs need to get their own house in order. As frustrating as last night was, it felt different. I've rarely seen a Hibs team at Tynecastle play with such a spring in its step, there was no fear whatsoever and the attitude was right from the first whistle. Far too early for any shift in balance of power predictions but there felt like the stirrings of something. I think there are good times coming, especially now with Foley on board.
On a side note. How bad were hearts! How that team won 11 games out of 12 before their ibrox pumping is beyond me. Shankland, I suppose. But he'll be away before long.

One only has to look at the Hearts fans as a collective to see they completely lack any kind of style. There is just a 'look' about them and not in any kind of positive sense.
Hibs have a few who let the side down but as a whole we win the style awards hands down.

The future looks promising anyway. If we can continue to bring in players of the obvious quality of Emi and Maolida to supplement the good players we already have, and play a system that gets the best out of them, then exciting times are coming.
We battered Hearts last night. We know it and they know it. They won't care too much as they are miles ahead in 3rd but the seed will be planted in their heads.

We are already ahead in every department apart from turnover and league points.
Turnover is mainly due to European football last season but I every other scale we are ahead.
The balance of power is only going to increase in our favour.

This summer will be really interesting for both clubs.
Hibs looking to bring in improved players and a rebuild to an extent.
Hearts also have several players looking past it and possibly losing Shankland.
If Hearts end up in Europe they know the demands of Thursday / Sunday football.
Had messages from jambos who are waking up to the fact Hibs are improving and the level of player will be higher next year so they have to act if they want to stay competitive.
Add in Hibs outplaying them at Tynecastle and reality this could become the norm moving forward and they are concerned change is happening.
Aberdeen / Hibs have been woeful at times this season. Hearts have been solid and consistent which is why they are 3rd. Not a classic Hearts team but one which grinds out results. St Mirren / Dundee / Killie having better than normal seasons but will that last next season. Shame no one is more consistent and it’s been an easy run to 3rd for them as others take points off each other.
