So, win tonight and we go 2 points clear of the yams who would be bottom.

IF that happens do you think the bbc/sky/premier etc etc will stick the boot into the yams like they have done to us over the last few weeks? Will Michael Stewart do a personality assassination on shankland? (Why the silence on his drop in form?)…..

The delight the media has taken in wallowing in our misfortune has really wound me up.

If ever there was a game to win no matter what, this is it.

win,(get off the bottom position),
win,(demote the yams to bottom),
win,(stick it up the press)!

Mon the cabbage!

The media bias has never been clearer. The 'article' on the BBC the other day ahead of the league resumption where they described each club's season so far for example. Hertz have been as bad, if not worse than us, yet the language used to describe their season so far was totally different to how they portrayed ours. It made it sound as if they're on an upward trajectory compared to us. I really, really hope we pull off a shock tonight. Mon the Hibees!

A club with a backbone and some fight could use all that as a reason to try and make some sort of seige mentallity at the club.

It would involve some leadership though, and that's where this fails at the first hurdle.:rolleyes:

I agree.

I just find it interesting, yet not surprising, that they go from disliking us when we're doing ok to sticking the boot in when we're rank. Weirdos.

I admire, but cannot share, the optimism of anyone who thinks we've got a realistic shout of a win tonight after the last few weeks. As long as DG and this shower on the pitch remain in situ, it'll likely be another episode of "inventive ways to gift the opposition the points"

Aberdeen will return to true mediocre form soon enough. St Mirren dealt with them at the weekend. I'm more worried about us being bad than Aberdeen being good.

I think there's a weirder sense of optimism coming from Hearts at the moment purely due to their European results. My honest fear still remains that Hearts aren't far away from clicking before they leave us in their rear view mirror.

It’s not unusual for pundits to slaughter poor teams who are struggling at the wrong end of the league, playing terribly.

We’ve got the backbone of a jellyfish. If we take anything out of this game it will be the biggest upset in the league this season. Folk are mentioning Bursik. Surely he’ll be dropped after Saturday’s fiasco. Aberdeen at 17/10 is a steal.

I don’t think Stewart would have been doing their game on Saturday so soon after doing our game (I didn’t watch or listen to their game) but I’d be amazed if he wouldn’t slaughter them during a heavy home defeat.

No doubt the Sportsound coverage can be very favourable on Hearts at times.

I just think we deserve every bit of a slaughtering from them right now. It’s hard to make a case that more than Nicky Cadden and Marvin Ekpiteta are contributing throughout the entire club. Why should Sportsound go lightly on us? We’re a shambles, we know it.

I despise Hearts, but the two clubs situations are not the same.

They are also playing in Europe, which is always a problem for subsequent league games - and getting some results in europe.

They sacked their hopeless manager and have someone else in place already - clearly he will need time to bed in.

In short, they have taken action and bought some time, whereas we have done the square root of nothing.

I wish I could look forward to tonight with some expectation, but I fully expect to lose against a good Aberdeen side. We look clueless all over the pitch, from a dreadful goalkeeper to an impotent attack. We are at home and there is always a chance things might click on the night, but I don’t see this Hibs team dramatically improving from the dismal performance of Saturday. It would be a lovely surprise to be proven wrong.

We have few friends working in the Scottish media, while Aberdeen and Hearts are two non Old Firm clubs who enjoy a lot of good will.

It doesn’t really bother me that much as the BBC aren’t my go-to source for Hibs media, and is more just background noise while travelling to and from the games.

A Hibs win tonight will have the Sportsound team looking out the black armbands which will be quite entertaining, and a welcome break from the relentless glee at our current plight.

This pretty much sums it up. Their new manager seems to have them competitive in games against harder opponents, the German side, at Ibrox and for the first 60mins against Celtic, whilst they have picked up wins against weaker sides in St Mirren, St Johnstone and Omonia. They at least have matches where there has been positivity that they can point to. Struggling on that front for us.

After tonight we have 4 away games in the next 5 so I assume they have the reverse of that.

If we don’t win tonight its worrying times indeed.

Considering the circumstances would be a massive win tonight but just can’t see it.

Watched Aberdeen several times this season and they are everything we aren’t.

Solid keeper - decent back line - leaders - midfield grit - goals - speed and variety.

Of course would love it if Hibs won but have zero expectations considering the amount of comedy moments we have witnessed with this team this season.

I'm conflicted. I want us to win, move up the table and fight for top 6. But I have totally lost faith in the club's ability to set a template for success and I want wholesale change at the club. If we win tonight and even get a result against Motherwell, how many of us would think this shower will have really turned a corner and become "winners"? Or not even winners, just solid, dependable professionals?

Ironically, I think if we lose tonight we're closer to being winners in the longer-term.

I don't think Mackay and Gray were a good choice and consider most of our playing staff entirely dispensable. Bowie and Rudi aside, I'd get rid of most of the rest starting with our number 1 and 2 keepers. Any result which brings only short-term cheer just papers over the cracks and buys the existing set-up more time. That is not in our long-term interest. If we lose then there's more chance the Black Knight people will influence our future sooner and I think that's needed desperately. A new boss, a good new year window and we can skip out of relegation danger.

I can't wish for my team to lose tonight so I won't hope for anything. We will see how it unfolds.

I understand this point of view to an extent, the great re-set of 2014 took us so far, but ultimately was failed by poor recruitment. That is something being addressed now by brining in the new guy from Bournemouth.

The best thing that could happen for everyone is we win tonight and turn a corner, otherwise we might as well jack the season in.

The criticism coming from the media isn't agenda driven - people need to grow up if they think that. We're a big club that is an absolute shambles - we all know it so why can't pundits say it?

Hearts have played both the Old Firm once more than we have and are still ahead of us- they have better players, a better manager and are doing ok in Europe. They're having a poor run but their troubles are far less than ours.

When a club our size is getting routinely turned over by teams like Dundee, Motherwell, and St Mirren it's going to draw attention.

I don't read any of it nor watch Scottish TV but guys like Stewart definitely try to cause friction among the different groups at the club. I know I would do it at Hearts if I had a voice in the media.

Weirdly, I think he's not bad when it comes to taking crosses - Dundee United away aside. It's his total inconsistency with shots that I worry about mainly, he can make 1 worldy save but concede fairly simple shots on goal.

Yeah, law of averages suggests we will probably win a game at some point. One win, while it would be welcome, isn’t enough. We’re got a few must win games ahead, tonight is just one of them.

Definitely and it’s why I think Gray has no chance of turning this around.

A win tonight might buy him a wee bit more time but it’s a run of results we need not individual one off matches.

Win ton would be the start of a run tho

Wishful I know!

I think we will get a point - 1-1

I could see us somehow managing to find a way to score -1 but I don’t think Aberdeens form suggests they’re in danger of that.

Only Hibs could find a way to score -1

I don’t think there’s some media agenda picking on us or taking great delight in how bad we are, I just think we are garbage and they’ve been reporting on us accurately.

Go back and read a handful of reports on recent hearts defeats and youll see the same ‘unlucky’ ‘positive signs’ text in almost all of them. Can you honestly listen to sport sound or read the BBC scotland match reports and think both teams are covered objectively?!

I’m thinking of just checking in at FT for the score.
Don’t think I can stand to risk another rollercoaster of going in front, red cards, unforced errors and late goals conceded.
Hopefully will watch highlights just realised I’ve only watched one sportscene this year because of our results.

The way football works there are only 2 possible results for me tonight...

What I hope for is ironically the opposition suffer an early red card & we get a much needed win

What I worry will happen is Aberdeen get revenge for the 6-0 El Sackio, including Nisbet hat trick.

Does the 4-0 El Sackio of Monty not county as their revenge, surely we're not getting another!!

Oddly enough we are very marginal favourites with the bookies for tonight

Was like that even before Aberdeen lost at the weekend as well

I mentioned earlier that Aberdeen were a really good price, considering our relative positions and ability.

So, win tonight and we go 2 points clear of the yams who would be bottom.

If we had an actual team of players who played for each other, the jersey and the fans and not just themselves, this would be all the motive they'd need to pull this off.

Looking over at the Sheep's forums a lot of them seem to think they will hammer us tonight.. Really hope we win, can't stand them.

Bookies had us favourites earlier on but now 17/10 the same as Aberdeen. Cant believe that to be honest. Most betting people will be all over that.

IF that happens do you think the bbc/sky/premier etc etc will stick the boot into the yams like they have done to us over the last few weeks? Will Michael Stewart do a personality assassination on shankland? (Why the silence on his drop in form?)…..

The delight the media has taken in wallowing in our misfortune has really wound me up.

If ever there was a game to win no matter what, this is it.

win,(get off the bottom position),
win,(demote the yams to bottom),
win,(stick it up the press)!

Mon the cabbage!

Well said mate

They’ll batter us tonight I reckon. Can’t stand them either but facts are they’re a far superior team to us at the minute.

It was a must win game against Dundee United. Then a must win against St Mirren. Then against Dundee. Bottom line is we’re a very poor SPFL team, with a rookie head coach out his depth surrounded by a very poor coaching team and we are heading one way unless serious changes are made.

I know this. We will concede so we must score. The question is how many?

How many we’ll concede ? Or how many we’ll score ?

The answer varies dramatically

If we concede 2, we'll need 3. If we concede 3, we'll need 4.... etc.

It’s probably both and it does.

I'm gonna go with Bursik, on 17 minutes.

Most accurate forecast of the night. I bet you didn’t think it would turn out so dramatic. They even played the radio commentary of extra time on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio this morning.
