Totally agree. I've been embarrassed after games against them before but the only feeling I had in March was anger. Absolutely pathetic performance. Glad a few of them aren't at the club now. The others should be busting a gut to make up for it. What I will say is that Arbroath cut their defence open with relative ease on Friday and 59 year old Charlie Adam turned into Maradona against them too when he "ran" at them. Nisbet will get chances.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

They're a league below us and feel they have a point to prove. If you take away the name Hearts and looked at the chances of winning for both teams, it's more than 60/40 in our favour.
They've not long started their season, they lost a few of their better players, they're without their best centre half, their winger looks likely to miss the game, their pre-season was interrupted when they were told not to train and they were so bad that last season they were relegated.
We, on the other hand, have had a great start to the season, have been playing for months at a high level, have spent money on bringing players in (while we've also lost players, I don't think there were too many that we were desperately sad to lose).
I'm confident we'll win, by the way - I think the reasons above put us in a really good place going into the game and while anything can happen in a derby, that's going to be tempered somewhat by the lack of fans (you can look at the Celtic v Rangers game to see how the intensity was less than it would have been in a full stadium), I still strongly fancy us to progress to the final because we're fundamentally a better team.
In the previous two Hampden meetings, that hasn't even been close to being the case.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I am not bothered with previous results against them, that was then this is now. We are playing a semi final against a team from a division below who feel the were hard done to. A scrappy 1 nil win will do fine Jack Ross will know how Hearts will play. There will be pressure on Robbie replay as well to try to prove that his team belong in our league. Bring it on.

We will win this and if we do so by a few goals then that's a bonus, winning is the prime target.

I've got a really nasty feeling that this has flukey Jambo victory written all over it. It'll be a dodgy penalty or lucky deflection compounded by an unjustified sending off (probably Porteous). The BBC will be lapping it up. I'm hopefully completely wrong!

Wish the game was tomorrow. Five days of torture second guessing and playing out different scenarios is excruciating. Just hope we turn up on the day and get an early goal to settle any nerves.

I expect us to win, we have a strong defence, quality in midfield and a potent strike force. The fact that hearts are in the championship is irrelevant, they’ve got a squad that would be competitive in the premiership similar to us when we were down there. It’s all about us asserting ourselves early and taking our chances.
United we stand here....

Didn't realise that Kingsley played for Falkirk in our 4-3 win over them at Hampden. Hopefully another defeat for him

Must say my nerves have really started to kick in today, I think because the game was pushed back so far it felt like it was never going to come. Don’t get me wrong I have a good feeling about it. Cmon the Gorgie! 🇱🇻
Don't worry about it. Any PHM goes into a derby knowing that we will win. This excuse they have after yet another pumping of 'they wanted it more' is their way of comforting themselves and making it sound like there isn't a reason we've won more derbies at the ****pit than them.
Robbie is a PHM, and he will make sure that the entire dressing room knows what we have since 1874, losing against them is simply unacceptable.
I see another Hampden raping on the cards. I don't want us 4 up and stepping off the pedal. I want them dead and buried. Make no mistake, when we win this game, its over for them. Its done. The end. No more continues. Game over.

The short period I had as a self-confessed Hibs supporter on JKB, I finished all my posts with FTH. This confused them.

Hearts should have lost on Friday against butchers, bakers and candlestick makers and pumped a Dundee team with two central midfielders with a combined age of 67 with far, far less pre season than them. We are a massive step up for them. If we show the right intensity we'll beat them.

If we get an early goal I think we'll win quite comfortably, however in all likelihood it's going to be the typical punt and rush derby which will be decided by a goal or two.
I presume they will try to press us as usual in the middle of the park forcing Hanlon to hooof it up the park which their backline will mop up, I hope we keep calm and keep the ball on the ground and get it out wide to Boyle at every opportunity.

I also think we will have success if we do need to go long. I'm not convinced by their centre halfs and both Nisbet and Doidge are big lads and good in the air.
We have a few ways we can win the game.

If we win on Saturday we will have knocked out Robbie Neilson twice in the same tournament. The guy is our good luck charm. If we win the cup we should name a stand after him.
