The 7-0 game came in the middle of 20 years of Derby dominance by Hibs. Strangely during that time, although they must have suffered, there was not the hatred that is prevalent on both sides now. The entrance of Wallace Mercer and a good management team of McDonald and Jardine coupled with a grim period for us saw the tables turned. Unfortunately they seemed to take more satisfaction in their dominance than we did and developed their now well known trait of being bad losers and even worse winners coupled with an arrogance that has been passed down to the next generation and beyond. It's worth noting that we are not the only supporters that view them that way.
The Hibs support has had to put up with all that crap for the past 35 years so it's no wonder we are now taking great delight watching them struggle.

This 100%. They lorded it over us for years about 1902 and derby results. Never let us forget. This is why I don't get people saying obsessed with Hearts etc. **** them.
What goes around comes around and in Kevin Keegan style, I'm absolutely loving their plight. Loving it. I'll twist the knife at any opportunity and not ashamed to admit it.
