Hearts are heardly the massive success story you'd think judging by the way you look down at Hibs, face it, we are BOTH utter failures. Fact. Hibs fans bottled the semi final because (IMO) the odds were stacked against and many thought the pain of a seemingly inevitable defeat would be too much to bear. This is covered by some degree of honesty, and the majority claim kick off time etc. Wrongly. Also remember there were about 2,000 less Hibbys than Jambos there that day, and that you didn't full your allocation either. The Scottish Cup means more to me than anything else, and will do for the majority of Hibbys. I'd rather lift the cup at Hampden than win the league in numerous aspects. The fact you think otherwise shows how little you know about the people your ranting and raving about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaLUFC Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I agree with both of you - I can;t see how you can devalue the national cup. For me, watching Leeds lift the FA Cup at Wembley would be better than lifting the European Cup in Brussels. Anyone who thinks of the cup as peripheral is a loonatic basically; it's a fantastic, prestigious and histroic cup. Also, the Scots Cup is the oldest trophy in the world isn't it?

I agree with what you said about Vlad's cash as it's a tad embarrassing how some of our fans have reacted in that respect. What can I say other than we too have some deluded supporters? The fact Hearts have achieved more respectable league positions than our brothers down leith, won 2 SC's and been more successful in derbies over the last 15-20 years tells it's own story when compared to the likes of Hibs.

Fair enough £5m are not applicable, but it was probably the best team to come out of Scotland, or the tail end of it at least. We lost in cup finals, we finished second in the league, we have had the same periods of near success. Historically we are very similar. Although Hearts had a good team in the 50's and the 60's that I don't know much about, the Famous Five and Turnball's Tornadoes have meant time has probably been slightly kinder to Hibs in terms of recognition. The supposed gulf between the two comes from the fact that we both had a pathetic beginning to the 80's, and on the return to the Premier League we found poor ownership while you found Wallace Mercer. That period of recovery for us takes longer than people may think or remember, and is exemplified by the well known derby 'jinx'. Up to 98 you couldn't pick a better club over the 90's either. I have no idea where this is going now, but a superior complexity over 2 extended derby runs and 2 cup wins in the last 20 years in justified I guess. My problem is that the level many Jambo's take it too (big team/wee team) is so disproportionate to the success you've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Phil Stamp were the worst for me, as well as the two 4-0's last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleanor_Rigby Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Tbf, Rix let Hibs off the hook when any other half decent manager would have pushed for more, especially against 10 fecking men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bru-man Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 That's because Rix is a clown. he isn't fit to manage a queue at the post office never mind a football club. i pity the next stupid chairman to hire that man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the game was just daft, why Hearts didn't attack I have no idea. Sproules run was fun though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethedog Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 3-2 win over Charlton, not bad having been 2 down. Zibby has to be behind McNeil now surely. Broonaldo getting 2 goals and some laddies sounding decent hurrah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleanor_Rigby Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 You just got to love the Hibbys. A guy in my work stated that he's now seen all 3 clubs play (Rantic & Hearts) and now thinks Hibs have nothing to fear as he's thought Hibs pre-season performances have been better than the top 3. Ok, while he's entitled to his own opinion, what Hibs games has he actually watched? Have Hibs been playing blinding football and just been unlucky with their results, or his he just your typical deluded Hibby? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Anyone basing their thoughts on pre-season games deserves to be laughed at... I'd expect Hibs still to do reasonably well again next year but I doubt they'll be as close to the top 3 as they were until about February/March last season. Never watched the Hearts game last night but 3-0 is a decent result. I'd expect you to hold that lead across there and hopefully with a decent draw you chaps will join Celtic in the CL proper.
