Kmcalpin Posted yesterday at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:23 PM We are stumbling towards the finishing line, and I'm not overly bothered how we get there. It would be satisfying to do it under our own steam but I'd be equally happy if Hibs hibs it for us. That said, it would be great to get a point or three in front of our own fans.

wellfan Posted yesterday at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:36 PM We just have to make sure we beat Hearts at home on Saturday night, then we can relax and the Celtic and Hibs games shouldn’t matter a jot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago We can’t finish sixth, so top 5 is assured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that to happen, Falkirk would need to win their 3 remaining games; we'd need to lose all 3 heavily; and Hibs would need to rack up large wins over us and Sevco. Its not going to happen.

Correct, if Hibs lose 1-0 to Falkirk then 2 3-0 wins for them and two 3-0 defeats for us takes it to goals scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Be interesting to see what happens today. Doubt there's any 'right' result for us (though the Ibrox meltdown, should they lose, would be highly entertaining). The pressure will be on Hearts next week, whatever happens. A kicking match where they pick up a red card or two and some key game-out injuries would suit us fine, right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result has no direct effect on where we will finish. indirectly it Might affect either teams attitude in the last three games or injury/discipline might cause player to loss games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Hearts have been bloody awful. They look paralysed by pressure and they've spent those 45 mins blootering the ball as far away from their goal as they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw between Falkirk and Hibs means Falkirk can't catch us and leaves Hibs 5 behind us. I expect us to lose to Hearts so Hibs face Rangers and we face Celtic with Hibs 5 behind us. If as expected we both lose to the OF we are 5 points ahead of Hibs in the head to head with 4th in the bag. I don't want to go to easter road having to get something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk are 8 points behind us if they win their last 3 and we lose our last 3 they are one point ahead of us, why the talk of big scorelines. Am I missing something?

We have a better goal difference than Hibs but big score lines allow them to go above us. Hibs beating us 3-0 is a swing of 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted 35 minutes ago Report Share Posted 35 minutes ago Hearts need to come for the win and we shall pick them off easily. Even very worst we are going to get is a point but I suspect we shall beat them to add some spice to the league title race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't that great but they get results when it matters so afraid I'd disagree on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the better team and on top at Tynecastle until they got a dodgy penalty. I'm sure their luck has to run out at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
