An African swallow or a European swallow?
How the hell should I know, Im not an ornithologist, I just suggested a swallow, I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition

There's a pretty fair chance that there's one on the Tynecastle pitch after an Edinburgh derby.
It could have been delivered by a swallow

They've been top 3 six times in the 21st century. Sadly for them, half of those top 3s came in the Championship. They're hoping to avoid (I think) their tenth bottom six finish overall and their third in five years.
It's a stretch to say this is an unusually bad season for Hibs. It's what they do every 2/3 years.

We've finished top 6 in 7 of those 9 seasons and are on course for a third top 3 finish. We've had one horrendous season and some other mediocre ones in that time, but the average league performance is much the same as under Romanov and before, 05/06 aside. That's certainly nothing to shout about, but that's how it is.
I honestly don't care about the cock measuring contest. It just feels like some Hibs fans wheel out some variant of the "we're having a terrible season and still we managed to do x against you" line just about every year.
Regardless of how typical the mediocrity of Hibs this season is, the broader point stands.
That was a team we should have beaten at home and we didn't
Just like Ross county in December but for that matter Celtic should have beaten us at home and didn'tBut this is all part of life's rich tapestry

I always find the Hearts got relegated twice argument quite funny considering we've been relegated twice yet hibs have still spent more time in the Championship than us.
Possibly that's an argument that's best not to get into in case there's any Aberdonians passing

It wasn't given for contact on the foot, it was for putting his body into his hip.
Agreed, not going to be on the same page here.
Do we actually know yet which of the two “challenges” the penalty was given for after the VAR
At the time it felt as if the referee on the pitch had been willing to give Hibs the benefit of the doubt once but not twice
It’s entirely possible he changed his mind on both calls

I'll come out with it; even Tagawa has enough experience to have put away the 1st chance Vargas had in the 2nd half, which would have downed them
Vargas is frustrating he’s got the pace to create chances that other players couldn’t but lacks the composure to finish them the way other players could
He’s the Costa Rican Wayne Foster

Of course you must be miffed outplayed by a team kicking about in 7th in the table, I would be too.
Guaranteed you are relieved you got out of jail though.
There was a point where we were 1-0 down and Killie were 1-0 up that was a bit worrying

As much as I get that, one more derby win last year and scraping a draw against us when we are shite this year is hardly worth bragging about.
You know fine well you got off on one yesterday, outplayed at home. It's okay to admit that, and you lot aren't gutted by the draw, you are relieved and delighted.
I wouldn’t say “gutted” or “delighted” are particularly appropriate
“Somewhat miffed” covers it fairly well as far as I’m concerned
Obviously I can’t speak authoritatively for the whole hearts support and opinions will vary but given that the hearts left the field to only fairly mild booing from their own supporters I’m probably fairly typical.

Bottom section is closed quite often. Away end, at least.
Not so much now that the away section has been squeezed horizontally
Even St Johnstone can bring enough people to justify opening the bottom bit of one section0 -

Where do disabled fans sit?
The wheelchair spaces at Tynecastle are in front of the top section but behind the bottom section on those walkways that run the width of the stands

Stop pandering to these cnuts.
They are all costing their clubs money.
Police and stewards have CCTV. They should use it and enforce strict penalties on these yobs. Hit them where it hurts. In the pocket and a swift couple of boots in the balls.Fcukem.
I really hate the fact that our away allocation has been cut at Tynecastle due to the security tarpaulin in the lower section.
These cnuts need sorting out.
The thing is that sorting them out becomes a lot easier if the people around them aren't prepared to tolerate them
Extricating an utter cnut from amongst a group of decent upstanding citizens such as yourself is trivial.Removing him from a group of people that while not utter cnuts themselves are still f***ing arseholes and think the cnut in question is "a good laugh" is trickier

Personally speaking
I quite like the idea of being able to buy one item of a meal deal at the right price without being penalised for not buying the other twoWhether making Snickers cheaper is the intended consequence I'm not so sure

As far as cutting the allocation because of things like missile throwing and pyro I'd suggest incrementally closing of the first row, and then if it persists closing off the second row etc. and then restoring them after each game that passes relatively incident free
Firstly it means that idiots have got further to throw things and secondly it means that if you are throwing things the people next to you will think you're an arsehole and be more likely to do something about it.
Cutting entire sections from the away allocation seems drastic and cutting the entire away allocation like at the old firm games is ludicrous, unless there's a full blown riot, but dropping it by a hundred or so at a time would be more proportionate
Of course Celtic would probably end up with the whole lower section closed off after a few years but even they might learn eventually

Amidst all the excitement I missed that Hibernians failure to win at Tynecastle along with Rangers Comeback against Killie and Celtic's win over Dundee mean that Hibs maximum is now 64 and Dundee can only hit 65. St Mirren can get 69 so can't catch Rangers on 70 , Killie can get 70 but if Rangers lose both old firm games that won't be enough to catch Celtic
This is now a three horse race
Although the Champions League 2025 dreams are still alive for Killie and the Buddies
I'll leave @VincentGuerinto provide appropriate photos

I've not seen loads of Boyle recently, just highlights but last night was really noticeable as to how much he's slowed. He was outpaced by Devlin at one point which just wouldn't have happened before. Interesting to see how he adapts given how much of his game has been based on pace.
At the start of the game the Hibs forwards displayed an immense workrate with their pressing and it was obvious that they were going to slow down as that tired them out.
The first 15 minutes we looked like we might be in proper trouble, by the last 15 they were trying to eat up the clock to escape with the pointNot a good performance by Hearts but after the shell shock of Ibrox it was hardly surprising that we lacked composure and confidence. Unfortunately it's Celtic next but things get simpler after that
Hibs weren't great either but they didn't look like a team 21 points behind us. if they can produce that level of performance consistently then we'll get another Derby at Easter Road after all. They've got a double header against Ross County next and then Livingston. Surely they can't screw that up0 -
We Hearts fans may be miffed at failing to win the derby but we’re now officially in the top 6 and by that we’re also staying up
Livingston can’t catch Dundee so they’re bottom 6 and Aberdeen can catch one of Rangers or Celtic but not both so the Dons title hopes are now dead

Oh well, a standard hearts/poor hibs/decent = draw type of Edinburgh Derby.
Let's all forget it and head over to laugh at Aberdeen.
And tonight thank god it’s then instead of you

She doesn't look like she goes lots of bike rides, so I'm not entirely sure I believe the rest of the article, especially the "we didn't buy a house we couldn't afford" but a 4 bed house in the south of England must cost a good half million at least.
I also don't think she works 50 hours per week and earns only 22k.
None of this adds up.
I suspect that they bought a home they could afford on the proviso that interest rates remained negligible for the duration of a long mortgage

Children's author criticises use of trans pronouns in legal proceedings in animal cruelty case making the papers is a bit odd but the strangest thing about this strange headline is what it misses out
In the body of the article
QuoteJK Rowling has criticised a transgender cat killer and murderer being referred to as a woman as it emerged judges have been told to refer to defendants by the pronouns they want.

I'm certainly not advocating giving them an extra section. I just think we shouldn't be making it unreasonably difficult for Hearts fans to buy a ticket.
Apologies
