Gorgie greatness Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) I must have filled the calendar in wrong the tangerine hibs is next again week! Hearts with a narrow win (subject to the Axminster Rug that is the all weather pitch so long as it’s above 0c) is up for a shift 🫶 Edited January 24, 2023 by Gorgie greatness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Isn't this one over at the palace of pasta so the title should be the other way round Anyway Hearts and Livingston have 5 red cards each this season (equalled only by St Mirren) so it shouldn't be assumed that this will end with 22 men on the field Livingston have an unremarkable 45 yellow cards while only Celtic (29) have had fewer than Hearts (33) The red and yellow totals suggest that this Hearts squad don't often lose the plot but when they do they're liable to do it in style Edited January 24, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going off spfl stats so no it doesn't The other statistical insight I found was that Hearts (9) are the only team to have been awarded more penalties than Livi (8) Livi have only scored two of them so if you hear someone dismiss Shankland as a player who "just" scores penalties the chances are they're not from Livingston Edited January 24, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-Shankland we'd been shit at penalties for a bit (wee burst of Sean Clare pens aside, you'd need to go back to Pressley for someone who scored them consistently), but even we surely scored better than 1 in 4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts are starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest, lonely wee losers. If we can play to our best and avoid winning any penalties there's no reason we can't get the win, but I'd be more than content if we can take a point. I just want to see Nouble back in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Reese Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Tough opponent at a tough venue . Win and it is a huge step to wrapping up third. Quite hopeful, but they need to be respected as a good opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) A point would do just fine here. Am I f**k going to Livingston twice in one season, so an afternoon off 'enjoying' Sportsound for me. In fact, it's Sunday lunchtime, isn't it? Probably won't even listen in that case.

I don't normally do away games but I've just realised that there's practically a door to door bus service so I'm now tempted I take it sections V and X are both behind the goals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. I just checked my ticket from September, and I was in Block Q, which was up the touchline, maybe midway inside the half. Get a curry pie, they're excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Beat them in our first game, should've beaten them at Tynecastle, can't see anything other than another Livi win at home. 2-1 Livi, who's going to get another brace for us is the big question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 A fixture which usually has "crashing back down to earth" written all over it. Livi are the only team outside the OF we haven't beaten yet and we struggled in both matches. We're certainly in far better shape than our last visit though and we've got options to mix it up with the team selection and subs. Really difficult to pick a team but assuming Hill's head-knock will keep him out I'd go for something like this: Clark Sibbick Rowles Kingsley Smith Devlin Snodgrass Grant Cochrane Humphrys Shankland That leaves McKay, Kuol and Gino as options off the bench. Another win would be brilliant and a draw would be fine. Losing would put third back in doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I doubt if a defeat here would really put third back in doubt. Will Livi hit the 60+ points threshold that we almost certainly will? Probably not. It would sour things with a game against Rangers next up, however, and would probably make Livi favourites for fourth spot. The above team will also probably be a goer, though perhaps still with Gino in and Grant on the bench. Grant could still 'come good', but if a third red card of the season has his name on it, then this could be the fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
