48 hours to go, let's get a thread going.
Livi in a good vein of form, but not too good. Hearts are in a bad run of form, but not too bad.
We've played a lot of games recently and there are a couple of players looking tired, so I expect a little rotation for this one. I'd love to see Noubz and Anderson on from the start.
1-1, anyone's game on penalties.

I'd be considering dropping Ayo tbh, he's been a bit rough around the edges in the past few games. The last minute goal against Saints, the penalty miss yesterday, and a lot of his overall play has dipped in the past couple of weeks. Perhaps our heavy schedule is kicking in. Boyes has looked decent in his short cameos

Lol f**k sake, that’s revenge for last time we were up.
First half was atrocious. Keeper should have done better with the goal. Nouble looks a lot better out on the left. Ayos penalty was shite.0 -

He didn't want to add the bit in the last 5 minutes where he threw himself to the ground, Clancy ignored(!) him and Devlin starts screaming at him for diving?
Was an enjoyable game, even if I was frothing at the mouth at the end of it. Given a chance to watch the highlights and calm the f**k down:
- Aberdeen should have had a penalty, was pretty clear. That said, they were shite and Glass can't have long left now.
- We were comfortably the better team for 65+ minutes and if it had been 4-0 at that point it would have been a fair reflection, but in the we were lucky to hang on. Besuijen was Aberdeen's best creative force, and he seemed decent at the shitfesting part of the game as well. Looks like they've got a decent signing there.
- Clancy wasn't close to having control of that game. There were multiple occassions where it was clear he was guessing what had happened, his attempts to stamp his authority on the game just ended up with him giving soft yellows to be consistent. One of the most frustrating refereeing performances I've seen in years, and his management of the game turned it into the handbagfest that it was in the end, rather than it being a particularly difficult game to manage.
- We wont see Chuk again for a while. No idea why he's had 5 chances so far when he's looked so far away from what we need in every one of them, he runs even less than Jim Hamilton did. Ayo was class. Forrest is an entirely new player now he's looking to put himself in the shop window.

Is Obileye being deployed as a centre half at Livi? Reason I'm asking is because he looked like the worst footballer I've ever seen last season in the opening game against us when he was deployed there. Once Queens moved him forwards he looked a player. As a defender it was literally just booting the ball as hard as possible in the direction he was facing when it came to him.
Yeah, Ayo's played CB all season. Looked pretty solid there alongside Fitzwater as well. We're developing a habit of repositioning QoS players and making them decent.
This game has the makings of a 3-3. Both teams give away soft goals and are looking solid up top at the moment. 1-0 with an undeserved 89th minute Obileye windmill kick

Who knows which Livi will turn up? Could be 3-0 either way

So did the managers of Falkirk, Partick and Livingston. Should they all be sacked for wanting to sign him too?
I went to Broadwood in our league one seasons. Should I be banned for contributing to his wages? Where does it all stop?
I mean including Livi in this is a little disingeneous. There was a twitter rumour and our CEO came out the very same day and said 'No fucking way while I'm in charge' and that was that.

Yeah same as Nouble the previous week against County, testing positive for Covid, reckoned he'd be ok for this game though.
Hoping Nouble is ok after taking a wee knock, we'd still be very decent with Forrest-Anderson-Bailey, but Nouble also gave us our first assist from a throw in goal in a couple of seasons (i think), not since Gallagher left have we had a decent target man to get a flick on, think Marv tried but wasn't as affective at it. We'd pretty much given up trying long throw ins into the box.
We've tried it with Ayo a few times to no success. Tbh I think it's something that teams are now aware of and stop us from doing, but Hibs were just shite and didn't bother. It's a common sight to see our target man at the front post sandwiched between two defenders

I can't imagine many changes from Saturday. Longridge out for Penrice/Montano but other than that I suspect everyone else keeps their spot. Soto on the bench could be a fun watch.
Saints signings could make all of the difference, I have no idea. 1-0 Livi

How was nouble
Did a great job, 2 assists can't be sniffed at and he won the free kick for the 3rd

Stephane Omeonga is a class act, why the f**k is he playing with us?
Nouble, Forrest, Omeonga, Fitz, Obileye all have shouts for MOTM. Montano's had a decent 45 as well

No idea what Martindale did at half time but it's worked a treat, we've been all over them for th first 15 minutes. Alongside the goals we also had Baileys efforts cleared off the line and the handball from Forrest's shot

Nisbet's done some good work this game, but none of it is in the attacking 3rd, why is he always so far back?

We've been miles the better team this half, well deserved. Good header from Noubs

Come on, it was inch perfect, if he'd meant it, it would be goal of the season, but it was across that couldn't have been placed better.
Not sure I agree tbf, he had plenty of time to adjust, it wasn't drilled at him, it was a floating ball. He wasn't concentrating and it should have been an easy palm over the bar.

Longridge has been utterly shite today. Max needs to take some responsibility for that as well

He doesn't 'follow through' though? He pulls back and Livi player goes down. Even if he did catch him after he has played the ball it is not a penalty. is Macey meant to disappear into the ether?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, it's not a penalty

How's that not a yellow card if not a penalty?
Fair play to the lino for spotting the cheat.
Am I watching a different replay to everyone else or something? Macey gets there first, punches the ball and then follows through. The ref's got that spot on

Well that's a weak start, we've looked poor. Longridge in particular has looked miles off it.
Penalty rightly overturned as well, Macey's done well to win that ball. Hibs commentators are dribbling idiots calling it a dive though, Macey simply gets there first

Pitts-Holt-Omeonga is becoming a settled first choice middle 3. Glad we've finally found what works with our 600 midfielders.
I would love to see Nouble start on the left, but I suspect he'll be kept on the bench with Anderson starting again, with Nouble being given 20 minutes up top.
Hibs don't seem to be so great going forwards atm, and we're surprisingly good at the back after all of our early season problems.
Sneaky wee 1-0 away win

Lawson was one of my favourite players at Livi and I was disappointed to see him go, with the right setup he'll tear up the Championship.
Agree with some bits said, but I think his passing was very underrated. Very strong going forwards, but a little powderpuff in the tackle. Definitely has the kit to play a very attacking fullback with decent defensive positioning.

With you guys signing 2 more strikers and with Bruce Anderson already there, do you think there’s any chance Nouble could be sold?
I’m not sure if only being able to play for 2 clubs per season still applies I know it was increased to 3 clubs at the height of Covid last year.
He is exactly what we need at Firhill.
No

Alan Forrest has turned down St Johnstone after we accepted a bid, supposedly wants to wait until the summer to see his options.

I thought someone said he'd already signed a PCA?
I guess the PCA rumour was bollocks. Probably a good thing from a footballing perspective, means he'll be trying his best to put himself in the shop window.

Got a lot of rumours about Knox as well; all of which came to nothing, but Knox and Snodgrass were just kids at the time.
The fact that Fitzwater is 24, coming on 25, makes this rumour even more strange. I actually do think at least one side will come in with an offer but would be surprised if it was five figures.
In any even unless a side asks for the player on trial; I very much doubt "interest" is anything more than that. The window closes in less than a week doesn't it?
5 figures is 10k. We're asking for 10x that for Forrest who's reportedly already signed a PCA. If there are 3 PL teams looking at him, then 1m isn't completely insane. I don't think his true value is that high, but the english market is insane and if we can somehow make a little competition happen then there's an opportunity for us to get paid here.

Hearts v Livi
in Domestic Cup Football
Posted
Hearts have beaten our press on a couple of occassions, better than anyone else has this season.
If Anderson had passed the ball 5 minutes in then Nouble would have had a tap in. Nouble's not been great tbh, and Forrest looks a little out of sorts on the wrong side. Bailey for Noubz early in the second half I reckon.
