Guess there will be a civic reception today where Pele will hand over the Jules remit trophy to hearts for yesterday.
....and we might still get a giggle. I've said before, beating the huns at the pigsty is one thing....but are they up for a dogfight against the teams they really HAVE to take something from to stay up? Jury still out....Quote:

They've 10 games left before the split with 6 of them being away from home, including games at Celtic, Livi, us and Aberdeen, it's not going to be easy.
I think they'll have enough to get out of trouble, but it's not going to be easy for them.
In the last week they have reduced the deficit from5 to 1 in 2 games which suggests they will be fine and have improvedQuote:

They also had 3 glorious chances before they eventually scored so the result could have been entirely different.
In saying that fair play to the maroon flumps, what they lacked in ability they more than made up for in effort.
Minutes after the game, the muppets on Sportsound were singing their praises ( fair enough ) when one of them, kind of tongue in cheek, suggested that a European place is back on for them. They had a few embarrassed, nervous giggles, but one of them, it might have been Billy Dodds, got a bit serious and said that if they keep up that standard of performance, they could still get 4th place. :greengrin
The 2008 champions league win is back on.

Yesterday was undoubtedly a good result for them however their pressing game left them exposed at the back and it took some last ditch defending to prevent Rangers scoring. As good as Defoe is, he's 37 and has lost some pace which helped Hearts get back and block in time. Continue to play like that and they will concede quite a lot of goals.
They won’t be able to high press their direct relegation brothers who will be shelling it long.Quote:

I always thought he was a bit overrated (the £9 million move to Sunderland was insane - though not as insane as the way Mad Vlad squandered the cash) and a bit of a big feardie for a guy of his size. However, what I'm wondering is where is the money coming from for what would surely be another big wage to fund at Tynie?
With guys like Levein (presumably on a very hefty salary) and most of his coaching team still drawing a wage along with players like Berra (not to mention the untold millions still being ploughed into the white elephant of a new stand), I'm rather baffled by the way money is being thrown around to such an extent. But then I guess they've wasted millions on dozens of duds throughout the Levein era so I can only guess Budge is content to just keep bankrolling whatever is deemed necessary to avoid relegation.
The St Mirren v Dons game was worse.Quote:

naismith and boyce scoring again, they're a very decent front pairing
St Johnstone pummeled them 2nd half
1 win in 8 league games for the tactical genius. Or 1 win in 18 league games if you include his last job.
They have a goalscorer but that midfield is very poor and the goalie is a total clown 🤡
They needed a win today. Draws ain't going to save them.
Saw that on Alba. Not the thing to do on front of your boss.Quote:

As disappointing as this is I just can’t see them getting relegated. None of the other teams at that end of the table have strengthened like they have and I think they’ll just have too much for the likes of Hamilton and St. Mirren over the piece... That and they’re jammy as ****, always have been, well at least in my lifetime.Quote:

12 points behind us, maybe 9 after midweek. We are not out of reach yet. Need to win the next 3 winnable league games.
I didn’t realise the SPL was a competition between us and them. If it is, we’ll have won the league by, ehm, last December. :greengrinQuote:

The way were defending, it wont stay 12 pts for long
It's very likely to be 9 after Weds I would think.Quote:

Don't know about very likely -Hearts have still only won something like three games in a year. They've drawn in their last two games against other bottom six sides.Quote:

Haven't looked on social media but surely yesterday was a reality check for them, by all accounts they were lucky to get a draw. The sensible ones amongst them will now realise that there's not been the huge turnaround they thought there had. It'll more likely be a bit like us after JR came in, improvement but still inconsistent with Boyce maybe having a similar impact for them as Boyle coming back from injury has for us.
They still think Stendal is the new Klopp.
Some even think it’s the start of an era of continuous success.
Any of them in Bulgaria must be welling up at his 1 win in 18 league game record. That doesn’t take into account such brave heroic draws with Aberdeen and Ross County. I was expecting a pitch invasion yesterday when they scrapped a draw away to lowly St Johnstone.
Brave so brave.
Did queen Anne remember to order the balconies though.
I’m fortunate to know very few jambos, the ones I do know are convinced they’re in the clear now though. I don’t know how anybody can say with any authority they definitely won’t go down, the truth is nobody knows, they are however right in the mix.Quote:

They will pick up points between now and the end of the season. I’m sure they will, I also think Hamilton and St Mirren seem to have a knack of pulling out the odd good result here and there as well. Both teams can look absolutely dreadful for 2 or 3 weeks in a row but then win a game nobody is predicting them to win.
FWIW I think Hamilton will finish bottom but there’s a strong chance they’ll come second bottom, St Mirren looked a decent and well organised team yesterday, I think they will come good sooner or later. I think Hearts will probably be relying on one or two individuals to drag them out of it, I’m not convinced those individuals will stay fit for long enough to do so.
A season ending injury to Boyce would make them favorites for the drop.
Mind you that keeper is doing his best to throw them in.
Famous draw away to St Johnsone
Hamilton well well well.
What’s the company that’s rumoured to be pumping the money into Hearts?
Not the company itself, but apparently employees of Baillie Gifford. Investment company in EdinburghQuote:

Why did they not appear to save Hearts when they were in admin? Instead letting fans effectively borrow money off Budge at high interest rates. This is one of several false scents put out to hide the true benefactor.Quote:

Finally, Lord/Lady Rosebery - personal wealth to small to make those donations.

They're still in serious trouble. Shipping 3 goals and given a chasing by a horrendous St Johnstone team. Beating Rangers was a magnificent result for them but its a game they should really have lostQuote:

It's just downright weird the level of satisfaction they get from posting about how Hearts are on the up.
It's pre Stubbs mentality.
If they’re second bottom at this late stage then they can finish secondbottom.
Perhaps karma for the Paul Secondbottom stuff they gave us earlier in the season huh?
Looking at the BBC highlights at Perth, they looked lucky not to haves their erses well and truly skelped.
And that was a Saints thrown in leading up to the injury time equaliser.
I thought Sean Clare's celebration was hilarious considering where they are
(Hopefully) The light at the end of the tunnel is the light of an oncoming train.
Nigel Blackwell.
Some I think like playing contrarian. But generally we are just too nice as a support. Hearts grow up to absolutely despise Hibs. I don’t think it’s quite the same for Hibs fans. Hibs class and all that.Quote:
