Sunday looms and the gods have decided that this season will give us an Edinburgh Derby. To add more spice Hibernian go into the game as current Scottish Cup Holders. The most important factor to this is that Hearts have lost half their songbook. .........we've not won the cup for 1 year.....

2 weeks ago the maroon half were looking at the game with a little trepidation and the green half ( the wee half!) were chomping at the bit........however recent results and form have turned these expectations on there head and Hearts must now really fancy their chances.

As far as Hibs are concerned I hope we play with as much width as possible and this week leave Boyle out wide to use his pace run at the full back to get to the line for a cross. Not concerned re Humphrey, don't rate him at all. Keatings must play for his dead ball striking and has that "old boy" tag from Hearts Championship side....may just give him an extra spark. Obviously this week Lennon will go with a recognized centre forward and has to be Cummings with his scoring history against the JT's. No Hanlon this year to pop up at the end to get us a draw so lets hope someone else has their shooting boots on.

Collum will be the ref so anything could happen.

Lets hope for a great game and a good advert for Scottish Football and the Edinburgh derby.

My son recently texted that chant to me hfcb - ######g priceless and well up with that Andy Halliday cup final song of last season! I must say on that theme, Hibs definitely have a colourful, vibrant support when it's in 'full flow' and I've always regarded Hearts fans as being 'stuck in time' in comparison! For example, that Hearts dirge, 'It's doooonnn at Tynecastle they bide...' really 'takes the biscuit' as well as a number of other real crackers - no many song writers in their ranks and it shows ha ha ha Also, as highlighted by newhavenhibby, they've lost some of their limited song repertoire as well with Hibs winning the Holy Grail!
Re Jason - ironically the 'boot is on the other foot' and Jason is doing what Hearts past hibee striker, John Robertson, previously did to us - 'something to prove', motivated and banging in goals!

Ok , if it's a singing contest, you win. Now a football match is slightly different. Oh, and that Hearts 'dirge' you refer to, it's one of the most popular and widely respected by many, club anthems in Scotland.

Respected by whom?

Stop being so touchy ffs.

Ach well, at least I've achieved something beneficial, you ain't going to comment further- now that's a first. Seriously, it's a pretty damn good song by Hector Nicol but understand why you might not like it.

In a footballing context its only respected by hearts fans.
