    Just saying it as I saw it. Dundee were excellent for the bulk of the match on Tuesday, whereas Hearts let us dominate the first half and didn't look that impressive overall. Also the game being at Dens I can only see a home win. I understand that you will totally disagree.

    I think you're abusing the word dominate somewhat.

    Have you really?

    Without being disrespectful, but I dont think I will be taking any advice from a hearts fan, given the lack of any consideration that any of you had for things like the FTB club merger plan, the STV cash, Robinsons plans, Romanov.

    (theres probably more, but I'm not really that bothered).

     

    I get that argument, but then all of that stuff ended badly.  So anyone questioning the motivations would have been correct

    Our first CH target was a guy from Sunderland who Montgomery was worked with before. Sunderland blocked that so we appear to have asked Bournemouth if they've got anyone they don't want. 

    On your point about losing players below their true value, our player sales figure over the last 10 years has hardly allowed us to line the boardroom with gold, so not worried about that either. We've developed one player (McGinn) worthy of EPL status in recent years. The Foley deal is hardly going to block the flow. 

    My understanding is that we're free to trade with whomever we want. Given that we've brought in a player from Hertha Berlin and another that McDermott knows, this month, that seems to bear out for the time being.

    As I say, 'cautiously optimistic' 

    All fair enough and time will tell.  There's still plenty Hearts fans who think the Romanov approach was a success, so on-field victories go a, long way

  4. There's being a feeder club and being a feeder club.  If it was us my worry would be that if you're directly feeding one chain, do you get the maximum value for any real assets, or do you accept that the drip feed of cash means you might lose someone for under their true value, maybe lose some sell on value etc.  

    Additionally, you're clearly going to be getting Bournemouth players to develop.  That might be good or or might be bad - the worry is it's bad for Hibs but good for Bournemouth what say would you have in changing it.  Maybe Hibs have scouted all of Britain to settle on Owen Bevan, but who knows

    I guess the frustration is that both big decisions despite being probably correct probably feel a bit unmerited, a trip that Miovski had no intention of and was a little bit removed from the actual goal (if VAR has to exist then what’s its cut off and was that clear and obvious and directly involved in the act of the goal?) and then a penalty that is by the rules a penalty but Devlin did nothing at all wrong and it’s a 80% chance of a goal, for something that nobody could do anything about. The handball rule is a mess. When you have a fanbase already frustrated then it’s going to wind some people up even further 

    I think the goal doesn't happen without the trip.  Beni closes down Barron and Kingsley wouldn't by trying to cover two men.

    The handball rule is shite but if you jump to block a cross with your hands out and it hits them you're going to get it given 9 times of 10.

    All for changing it back to it having to be a deliberate act.  We've suffered from it this season more than once

    Tbf Butland pulled off a few great saves last night, when Hibs had possession they were quick to counter attack and tried to play fitba. 

     

     

     

    He had a couple, but Hibs look less like scoring now than when Montgomery came in, despite clearly having a load of decent forward players.  Probably cause he insists on having a midfield 2 with 2 wingers that means they don't control enough of a game to make many chances

    Listened back to the end of the game on Sportsound there.

    Richard Gordon asks whether Hearts can sustain this run of clawing back points from behind and scoring late winners.

    Before tonight we'd only managed one single point from a losing position and had scored one late winner all season.

    Hopefully Aberdeen can maintain their run of getting bodied everywhere they go bar Dingwall
