Am I right in saying we’ve never beaten them at Hampden?Quote:

I’m sure it was a Jambo I seen saying that so could well be a lot of pish
I think we've only played them there twice. In living memory anyway. But yeah we haven't beaten them at Hampden.Quote:

They've got nothing to lose... Well apart from a Scottish Cup semi final against their city rivals :confused:Quote:

In terms of match sharpness we should be light-years ahead of them. Reminds me of Scottish clubs playing Sandanavian clubs in Europe. I think we'll wear them down but it'll be far from easy.
If its true we've only played them twice at Hampden losing twice then surely it'll be third time lucky. Can see us piling more seethe upon them in this one. Looking forward to it.
Yup remarkably only twice ever at Hampden.
What’s the chances of Hearts being unbeaten when the face is in the semi..
Either way I’m confident we won’t be as bad as the last Derby at ER.
Porteous never played in a 1st team derby either I think..
Don’t be scared be excited we have a great chance of winning and if we lose life will go on. We lost a semi 4-0 and a final 5-1 to them and still had our best ever day at Hampden still to come in 2016. There really is nothing to worry about let’s all try to be positive.Quote:

neilsons tactics will be a step down from that
Of course, you are right. Life will go on. That wouldn't stop it being a real sore one. Those 2 results are among the most memorable in hearts history. I really don't want a 3rd one.Quote:

Hate this defeatist/ always the bridesmaid culture. It has absolutely held the club back in all the years I've watched hibs. It affects the performances no doubt. Partly why I reckoned hibs would do better than most without fans.
I'm sure Bayern Munich fans will always struggle to get over the farcical way they became champions of Europe, lifting the trophy after this season's competition had already started must have been such a bitter blow.Quote:

Funny thing is whoever wins it will be holders only about a week till this seasons competition starts !Quote:

But we have our rivals first..then possible Aberdeen who are record against recently is awful..then Celtic who took us apart yesterday so pressure is off for me.
Wouldn’t be surprised if semi goes to extra time or penalties but would also love a Doidge hatrick
The good thing about 2012 and 2016 is I no longer go in to Hibs games worried. What will be will be.
We wouldn't play all 3 of them.Quote:

It's not perfect yet but the players have great spirit and belief and know what their function is within the unit. For a few years now fans have been dismayed at the obvious imbalance in the squad but it has been addressed very quickly under JR. Our owner is showing ambition in the transfer market in difficult times so all in all I think things are going well and its now time to start redressing the balance in derbies. I'm certain the players are eagerly looking forward to the derby. Bring it on.Quote:
