0-0 FT

thought he played quite well, a bit overawed at the start but the keeper made three saves (two of which decent ones) to prevent him scoring

Hibs GK played well.

Should have won that in the last few minutes.

Yep. Hearts were better second half but Hibs applied the pressure late on. Dabrowski has secured his place in the team now!

But Hibs missed chances early in the match. A fair result to an entertaining game.

Yeah, you said that.

He cant defend.

Watch Lampard become the third Everton manager not to play him this Saturday.

I'm not going to degrade myself by arguing with you. It seems like you're dying for him to fail.

What a league.

Any worse than the King Power stadium?

You're right, what a league! We don't have the ridiculous money sloshing around that some of the big leagues have. But, by percentage of population, the SPL is the best supported league in Europe. Most teams still have strong community ties and, thankfully, you don't iften see folk with those half and half scarfs. Considering there's more people in London alone than the whole of Scotland, we do all right.

A decent scrap. Hibs the better team in the first half, Hearts controlled the game after the break, although fairly disappointed over all if I’m being honest. One plus point was that Hearts retain their 10 point advantage over 4th place Motherwell and 12 above Hibs.

However, I thought Hearts should’ve had two penalties. Simms bodied by Stevenson and later Stevenson (the letter of the law) using his arm to block the indirect free kick. So with that in mind, Hearts should’ve won that.

The lad Sibbick looking like a great signing for Hearts.

Old Firm game on tonight lads. Should be a good one. Any predictions for tonight?

You had that money in the past and it was still unwatchable outside of the OF games.

Money is not the issue really, it's playing standard.

Hibs had a shout too in the first half. Never mind. VAR will be here soon to smooth all our troubles away!

It’s inevitable but yet, I still don’t like VAR.

I would scrap it. Goalline technology fair enough. Anything else is swings and roundabouts to me.

Of course money is the issue. How are Scottish teams able to attract the best foreign players when the wages on offer are miniscule compared to the obscene budgets in the bigger leagues. We also struggle to hold on to our best players as they are able to make fortunes elsewhere. Nathan Patterson is a prime example of this, I'm sure you'll agree. You'll have noticed that Scottish teams used to do alright in Europe (Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd) before the money elsewhere started to eclipse the money here.
