    Always next time, chum.

    Immediately after the second goal, Hibs fans are show leaving...I will never understand that, given the amount of time left. 

    They know how this all works very well.

    No getting away from how absolutely awful Sibbick's initial touch was there.

    Was it, though?

    We've yet to win a game at ER under Robbie, which is where any nervousness comes from.  We should be winning it but like TW said, we've every chance of throwing in a shocker and Hibs winning isn't exactly the biggest cup shock ever.

    I think we'll win right enough

    Somewhat amusingly, Neilson is in the stand for this one.

    There's somewhat of a fairytale that his next match is against the man who thought he had been the final player to beat Andy at the Australian Open ever. 

    Unfortunately, big Bautista has won his last three against Murray - two matches last year pretty comfortably. He also leads him 3-1 on hard courts (tied 3-3 overall).

    Hopefully Andy is absolutely buzzing to be competing like this again, though, and sees this as a massive opportunity.

    The problem is that when we were losing to Fiorentina with half a team missing, Aberdeen were winning League Cup ties against Annan and Partick Thistle. So, for some of the less on the ball, the narrative became free-scoring Dons and crisis-club Hearts. At least in their minds.

    Now that reality has bitten (as predicted), they're swinging about for something to make them feel better. So, the fact that we performed to par is just forgotten. Doesn't fit, I'm afraid.

    Indeed. Of course, playing against Serie A sides and sides chasing the Turkish title will only serve to improve our standards - even if we were taught a lesson in those matches.

    I’m fully aware of the short term continuation of 3rd gaining group stage football, amigo.

    My point was it won’t last, just like the old firm didn’t.

    If we qualify for the Europa/Conference League group stages three years on the bounce that will be £15m in the bank. That sort of money will have us miles ahead of the rest for years to come.

    The good co efficient will soon evaporate as you get pumped out the groups again. This season the co efficient must have taken a hammering. By the time that filters through the prize for 3rd will be back to qualifiers. 
    It’s hardly in cement that you will finish 3rd forever , unlike the teams for the top 2 places.

    Europa League or Conference League group stage qualification is guaranteed this year and next for whoever finishes third and/or wins the Scottish Cup, friend.

    Hearts also performed to par in Europe this season. We beat the team we should have beaten, and lost to the teams that have larger budgets than we do.

    I would hope we can at least match that next season, while surely the Old Firm won't be as poor as they were either.

    Yes, the standard of the league was so good last year that the other European qualifiers were Dundee United and Motherwell.

    I know plenty of Hibs fans who referred to the league as shite the season we finished 3rd also.

    The league is shite. Thankfully we're above all that. Probably why we utter horsed Aberdeen last night.

    Probably the most concerning thing. When you went 2-0 up I’m sitting thinking hearts have been pretty shite. Yet they’ve attacked twice and scored. One a simple throw into the box and one a simple ball over the top, albeit a good finish.

    That's one way to put it. If Xavi had made that pass it would have been in his career top 10.
