Obviously bet against Scotland yesterday. That's different. Think it'll be close but don't see us winning. McInnes to shortest a draw? Probably after going ahead.

Customary Considine f**k up for the Hearts goal, but also a hat-trick of sclaffed headers/tap-ins. McLennan to be rejected back to the bench in favour of McGinn. McGinn to do f**k all, McLennan to come on in the 75th minute (shortly after a Bruce Anderson double) to score a brace himself. Only to be then rejected to the bench again for the semi final. I'm struggling to recall the last time Considine made an obvious howler for an opposition goal, so 'customary' seems extremely harsh. Although, now that I've said this, he is bound to have at least one on Saturday. I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win we'll be 10 points ahead of you. I know it's early in the season but I can't see us being a team that'll have long runs with poor results and Aberdeen don't look anything special. Finishing above us regardless is a bold statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing above us regardless is a bold statement.Pretty sure Hearts won the first 5 or 6 a few years ago and fell away.But other than that, based on us having a better squad. We’ve had a load of injuries to date in a tough start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righto. Better squad as well, sure. Good job we've not had injuries to compete with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that, based on us having a better squad. We’ve had a load of injuries to date in a tough start to the season. We won five on the bounce in our first season back up and then slumped, a bit like Aberdeen after your winning run was ended that season, but yours stretched to eight. In the end we finished six points behind, which was roughly the gap for most of the season. Your claim of having a better squad is laughable, as is the injury mewling - we've been without our captain since the second game of the season. We've also had similar fixtures so far with a round of matches nearly complete. You likely already won't finish above the Gorgie. Lose on Saturday and you won't even get near us. Unlucky, you sheep shagging fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylo vanal Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I've only really watched Aberdeen against Hibs and despite shitfesting a penalty victory they didn't look too clever. Hibs were a bit more fluid in Midfield than I expect from Hearts but we are better at finishing. Despite winning most games we have gave away a few chances in games we shouldn't but haven't been punished. Hearts win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping we can win on Saturday, and confident we will. but I'm not daft enough to not think it's a tough game and one we could also lose. Just find it weird that if we go 10 ahead there are Aberdeen fans that think that size of gap doesn't matter and you'll catch us regardless.

He only predicted Aberdeen finishing above Hearts, hardly the most outrageous prediction. I don't share his confidence quite so fully but fair play to him. It's a nice change from the miserable c***s in our support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go ten points in front of a side at any point in a season it's obviously going to be difficult to overturn. As well as clawing back the original gap you then need to build on it, not slump, and then hope your opponent continues to slump and doesn't regain any real consistency.

You're getting half the Roseburn, so about 1,750. I checked the ticket site Hearts are selling Sections H & J to home support Which leaves K, L & M minus however much of K is taken for segregation so it's conceivable that the away allocation amounts to just a little bit more than 2,000 The bigger story is that there's not much left in the other stands so if you have mates that you want to sit with you're going to have to go for the Roseburn. If on the other hand you've got no mates and are obsessed with how many tickets we sell then go for the very end of the section G where you can't see the roseburn so you won't see any empty seats The choice is yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
