Midlothian Hearts versus West Lothian Thistle


Recommended Posts

With Hearts' manager hunt now starting to take months, rather than weeks, and with Livingston on a 4-game losing streak, it seems that neither set of clinically depressed fans is able to work up the willpower or initiative to startt up the match thread for two days hence. Fear not, what with our new manager bounce and our 10-game unbeaten streak, morale is high amongst the P&B Hibs bois, and we have that little bit of extra energy and enthusiasm to help our less fortunate Lothian Brethren out in their time of need. Hibs were founded as a charitable venture, after all.
As to the match, on Livingston's end, their top goalscorer, Dykes, looks to be fit and working again, and their secret anti-Hearts weapon, Marvin Bartley, will  be on hand to ragdoll any Jambos foolish enough to set foot beyond the halfway line. Meanwhile, Hearts' top goalscorer, Christophe Berra o.g., is also likely to be on the pitch, providing that extra added goal threat that could well tip the balance in Livi's favour.  The one consolation for the Hearts fans is that there's a good chance Berra will pick up a sixth yellow card this time, and provide some respite for the Hearts goalmouth in upcoming games.
Can't see beyond an away win here. 0-2 (Dykes, Berra o.g.)
 
Points earned tonight.

Hearts - 1
Livingston - 1
Hibs - 0

Sick to death of seeing this with Livi.
Un-be-fucking-leavable

Embarrassing the amount of points we’ve dropped from winning positions this season, don’t know how we fail to defend every lead we get. Dropped points in 5 games now that we’ve scored first in

Livingston leading away from home?

Not to worry, an equaliser is always going to happen.

Yep starting to expect it now, fecking needs looked at the amount of late goals we concede to chuck away two points. Maybe need to just keep playing with attacking players and stop making defensive substitutions trying to see the game out, it's bloody obv we aren't good enough to do that this season.

Not nearly as gutting as the capitulation against Hibs but still hard to take. Especially after the number of games we've chucked late on.

Still, great to see Lawson looking like the player he was at the tail end of last season. Should definitely start at right back for the next game.

Relieved to get a late equaliser, but scraping a draw against Live at home is where we are at the moment. Obviously.

Went behind against the run of play, and should have been in front by then - Halkett's miss was probably the best chance, but Mulraney made a c**t of himself looking for a penalty rather than trying to cross or shoot - just take some responsibility for f**k's sake!

We were abysmal in the second half - just launching the ball forward aimlessly - no actual game plan - MacPhee is clueless.

Halkett and Whelan were fairly solid, but Brandon was our best player - maybe getting back to the player he was before the injury, and should keep his place for Saturday - if Hickey is fit, play Brandon at RB, move Smith in one alongside Halkett, and drop Berra, who is an embarrassment. 

We need to get a coach in quick.

That was an absolutely horrible game of football, the standard was woeful from both teams.

Thought we started well enough and should probably have been ahead but as soon as we conceded we were awful and every player abdicated responsibility.

The Livingston fans moaning about Bartley's booking are at it surely?  It's not winning the ball if you're smashing your arm into the back of someone's head to get there.
