topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Not everyone can own a football club: Mansour bin Zayed, Dermot Desmond, Stan Kroenke, Ron Gordon, myself, Gorgie Greatness and my mate Niall the Motherwell fan. It’s a pretty select group and while wee Dermot’s lot had the better of our midweek encounter that’s now history and we move on to Motherwell at home Hibs 0-0 draw at fir park was probably better received by hearts than the teams directly involved. We’ve got enough of a cushion that we’ll be third after the derby but it’s the difference between getting drawn back into a battle for 3rd and disappearing over the horizon In terms of personnel there’s a few question marks Michael Smith was subbed off early against Celtic, Halkett went off injured late on but at least he walked off and there’s ongoing questions about Souttar Toby Sibbick’s arrival helps ease my nerves on that regard and with Beni, Devlin and Haring available Nielson has good choices to make. Motherwell on the other hand seem to have started the year sluggishly losing to 10 men in Dingwall, going to extra time against Morton and then drawing a blank against Hibs. One must suspect they’ll pull themselves out of this malaise at some point but hopefully it won’t be till Paisley next Tuesday Hearts are 4/6 on at the bookies which looks about right I’d be surprised if don’t win but it wouldn’t be a massive shock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really know the wee Peruvian guy though, he might be a right good laugh. I’ve got a dear friend who supports Motherwell… I’ll need to ask him if he’s in the society. TC may fall down the ranks (love the Motherwell Oktoberfest beer festival), but not that far. Anyway. The third place triangle tournament is in full flow. Let’s just start nailing coffins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a first half OG he might be expecting Graham Alexander to pull him off at half time but that’s tame by comparison 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I’d have said this was a stick on 2-0 Hearts win but the weather might be a leveller. The wind playing its part in an awful 0-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was basing it on that but it’s obviously just a general area on her wee map rather than more specific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The game at Tynecastle this season was defined and decided by 2 early and uncharacteristic errors from Kelly, after that there was nothing in it. The next game at Fir Park was probably our best performance of the season and won at a canter. Even with that in mind I still can’t see past a fairly routine Hearts win here. We’re sitting in a very respectable league position but I feel we have issues all over the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she stretches out her arm she could be talking about Norway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
