my dad said hearts were no a bad team back then so can't see them getting more than 1 goal tbh

let's remember it was a decent Hear7s team we beat 0-7, and it was a decent Hear7s team that beat us 4-1.
So by all logic, the ***** Hear7s team that has beaten us 1-0 twice this season, could receive a deserved battering.
I'm now arguing with myself. After watching the St Mirren highlights, they don't co-relate with the media reports. St Mirren we're unlucky not to score a few more, the Hear7s defending was comical, and a free shot at goal by Hamill, and a scrappy cross into the box that Patterson couldn't convert, was all they created. I've now revised my prediction. Let's horse this shower of *****e.

I thought we would cuff them last time. We did but still managed to lose.
If we keep the heid, even if we go one down, we will win, we have the better players by far, but they will pack their defense, go for the break and hope our support loses confidence. Lets just do the job and not be cocky and if we haven't scored after 20 mins lets not panic and really roar on the Hibs. It is interesting reading Kickback on this- they have spotted the title of this thread (if you can bare to waste your time and look ) and although they are split as to the result it gives them hope as they think we are over-confident.
We should win it. Butcher and Petrie know that defeat means then end of the crowds and half season tickets etc.
Not happy when Hibs get all bullish before a derby. If TB has them fighting fit they should win but let's not start predicting routs. It's all gone P Tong too many times!
People suggesting that it will be an easy win are delusional.
It will be a hard battle as usual with Hibs coming out deserved 11 - 0 winners.
There will also be at least one yam sending off.
Just watched their highlights .. Very shaky defence if we pressure them like we did Kilmarnock they will crack .. Reckon Collins will score :thumbsup:
8 is no longer acceptable we want 10
Thinking back to the 6-2 game, what a pity they had an outstanding keeper in Niemi playing.
That could have literally been 8 that night, 10, or any other number.
With their current young, brilliant, best in britain team - It's a shame they don't have a donkey in goals. A Malkowski or any other flop like we've had. They could have taken several more thumpings than they have already, McDonald has been good for them and in the main kept most defeats less embarrassing.
As for the game tomorrow, a dominating 2 nil win or so, would be very pleasing and would exceed my expectations. They are the jammiest shower that exist.
Let's be honest. In past derbies, they could have played with 11 traffic cones and would probably have still beaten us, such is our luck and confidence in these games. Somehow, I think it could be different on Thursday. I have a good feeling about the game.
Just had a funny thought , imagine that as soon as we score, the East reveals a huge banner that says PLEASING
2 nil for us Jason Cummings to score
Probably a bit late to make a banner but maybe that should be the chant when we score, a bit like the old wresting chant for big daddy, instead of EA-SY, we all chant PLEAS-ING .
Bugger me I'm so hyped up for this one now, the single malt is going to get a tanning tonight
Don't like the sound of 8, has no resonance.
7 is the Hibernian number. 7 - 0 will do me.
0 - 7 and 7 - 0.
Nice.
If we won 6 - 0, they'd never be able to show the 5 - 1 sign again!
Just reading Gary Cocke's interview on BBC. Says that the motivation to move into positive points with a win in the derby is huge. Also says (somewhat curiously) that Butcher has come in and put a lot of bigger, stronger players into the team. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the only major change in terms of personnel made by Terry is the recall of Cairney, not a player I'd describe as bigger and stronger.
Does this slavering roaster actually think about what he's saying before he opens his trap?
0-8 would be great with Rudi Skatalogical watching in the stands in support of the chumps on jambosprickwhack.
The Yams will be pretending this derby doesn't matter to them when the inevitable happens and we put EIGHT past them. Can't wait to give these lot a proper doing!
I want Hibs to win. I want to see this happen and Hibs win in style and with dignity. Our neighbours from the west side of town have enjoyed winning the SC 3 times since 2006. The price is still being paid. If they are relegated and that looks set to happen it could be a long stay in the nether regions of Scottish football. They can enjoy their memories of winning the SC and 1-5.
The future is green and white
GGTTH:wink:
PS 7 is still a good No. to me.
:aok: I've made far too many trips up from Stranraer to see us lose. I even took my brother and his mate to the last League Cup game guaranteeing them they would see a Hibs win. No messing up this time lads, Butcher's boys will hump them I just don't know how many we will win by!
We score first we win, by how many is a guess. I suspect they will defend heavy like they played at Celtic, damage limitation. We get 2 at any point and its over. A pleasing start to the year.
Early goal and we'll see it out. Longer it goes 0-0 the more Hear7s will grow in confidence and push for a goal and they might even get one. You just never know.
Fully expect them to park the bus though and attempt to keep it tight instead of them going for it.
We want 2014!
Nah, a tad too optimistic...
We want fourteen!
More plausible. Wonder what the odds would be. Happy New year!
Yeh ... it would be great to win by 5 or 7 or 10 etc, etc.
Its not going to happen. If we win I'll be more than delighted ... if we win by more than one goal I'll be ecstatic.
As someone else posted theres a reason they have had worse results at home than away. They will play 10 behind the ball and 1 up front and we will have to work like mental to get a goal ... the good news is we seem to have learned how to score from corners which could make a difference in this game.
This is not being negative by the way .... Its simply calling the game based on what I have seen from both teams this season. The Yams have won at Pittodrie and restricted celtc to 2 goals away following a humping from them only a few weeks earlier. They also got a decent result away to St Mirren when St Mirren should have been way up for it having just beaten the form team in the PL 4 - 1.
We have had a decent if unspectacular run since Terry Butcher took over during which our strikers have accumulated the sum total of 2 goals in 8 games.
This does not equate to the possibility of us handing out a humping to anybody .. never mind the Yams.
Any sort of win will do me. I'm too long in the tooth to think that our relative form and league positions will have any bearing on the result. I don't think I could stand the ignominy of contributing 6 points to their survival attempt. After the ribbing and baiting we've given them in the last 6 months it would be unbearably ironic if we didn't play a part in their inevitable demise. I think we'll win by the odd goal.
At the end of the day (tomorrow) if hearts beat us they are no better off than they were yesterday.
If they dont beat us then they pretty much have to win 6 more games than ross county do before the end of the season, which I think has 19 games to go?
Say Ross County only picked up 6 points between now and the of season then hearts would have to pick up 24 or 8 wins in other words!!!
No chance on 2 counts! 1, RC will pick up more than just 6 more points. 2, hearts will never win 8 games or more.
To overcome this they'd pretty much have to go on a 10 match unbeaten run!!!
They're finished and lets shove it down their throats tomorrow! !!
