How lucky are they???

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I ****ing hate them. An abolute peach but still so jammy!!!

[Sir David Gray]

There needs to be a new word made up to describe Hearts' fortunes in derbies.

Lucky just doesn't come close.

[3pm]

There is surely a time when it can no longer be considered 'luck'?

Let's put this "peach/stunner/best derby goal " pish to be bed.
It was a fluke. Total hit and hope from a defender. Total fluke.
Now , Mixu and Latapy scoring with the one-two ! That WAS a peach.

It might have been a fluke, but it was a belter, end of.

You just read that on that other thread
I do not agree that flukes can be belters.
Belters are meant , flukes are flukes.

Don't agree.

He kicked it as hard as he could towards the goal. It went in. He meant it.

If it was a deflection I'd say it was a fluke

He meant it but 999 times out of a thousand it would have hit row zz.

[Baader]

We gave them too much space towards the end though.

[GreenLake]

It was a cracking strike from a player who would more often dig up a divot.

If Hanlon or Fontaine scored it would you have said it was a fluke?

No you would have said it was a belter/peach etc.

We should have won today and deserved to but we were undone by a cracking goal, let's give credit where it's due eh?

If we were more clinical instead of taking soft shots or passing the buck too much, we would have 2 or 3 goals up easily. Hearts just went for it and, yet again, got the goal they needed. It's good that we are passing better, but there is no point in passing it about nicely if our finishing is so lacklustre.

They seem to score a lot of flukes though.

Remeber Stevenson could have hit that shot 100 times in thr league cup and never scored apparently.

Remember that strike in the 1st derby this season that the guy couldn't do again if he tried 100 times.

Then that today. It was a good goal and he meant to take a shot therefore it wasn't a fluke anymore than Griffiths free kick that wasn't given from about the same distance was a fluke.

Credit where it's due ? Are you having a laugh ?
Why on earth would I want to give the savilles any credit ? Are you kidding me ?
If Hanlon has scored it , I would definitely think/know it was a fluke.

What with the savilles love in ?

It was great strike but we sat off them and gave him the opportunity to strile it. Not seen in tv yet but I thought Oxley should have saved it

[SteveHFC]

Great strike tbf.

I had typed out a lengthy post but I don't know what happened

Add Oxley to the long line of Hibs keepers who have sold the jerseys in a Derby! Unrestricted view of a shot hit from so far out and he still made an arse of it!

Hibs played the better football throughout and deserved to win but are nowhere near ruthless enough and far too timid for my liking, especially with a man advantage, we gave them too much time and space on the ball for no reason considering Hearts are a pretty woeful team with very little talent!!

If there's a luckier team anywhere on the planet I've yet to see them!

Tbf to Oxley having just seen the goal again it took a huge swing and dip in the air. The ball moved all over the place and that wind probably didn't help either.

[sleeping giant]

Anyone seen it on telly yet and still think it was a "peach"?

I've already argued he got lucky, that doesn't mean it wasn't a peach though.

[stanton_4]

It wasn't lucky. It was just reward for coming at us continually after going down to ten men. We threw it away. We gave them too much time and space in the middle of the park especially after the sending off. We only have ourselves to blame as far as I'm concerned.

Wasn't expecting him to hold it but from that distance out I expect him to comfortably tip it over even allowing for any movement of the ball.

It's another Derby where Hibs have shot themselves in the foot by showing far too much respect to an inferior team! Until we are more ruthless and convert a higher percentage of the chances we create, nothing will change.

[Hiber-nation]

Nothing to do with luck, we were well on top but lost the momentum partly due to Oxley wasting time and slowing things down.

1st half hour though was superb, best fitba I've seen from a Hibs team in ages, just don't have the ability to go for the jugular.

[bingo70]

An absolute horse of a centre half pings one in from 35 yards out in the last minute, surely everyone can concede there's an element of bad luck in that?!

Even if we could have put the game to bed earlier.

[Franck Stanton]

When it comes to derbys, if Hibs didn't have bad luck, then we wouldn't have any luck at all.

We had enough chances to put the game to bed and didn't take them only ourselves to blame. Not ruthless enough. Thought Malonga should have been subbed for Kennedy, especially after the sending off to try and stretch their back 4.

Strange game football, 1-1, Hibs supporters leave ground dejected, yams celebrate as if they have just won the cup/league/ww3 all in one. Merricks.

Jammiest club on the planet by a country mile! Once again got themselves out of jail with a stroke of pure luck as per usual. Absolutely deserved nothing less than 3 points today but as usual those jammy *******s got their piece of luck.
