As promised.............................
Well done to the JTs who overall deserved their victory. I don't know why Robbie changed it at halftime to contain Hibs and look for the quick break, but this time it worked for him......just. This was partly due to Hibs final third decisions , finishing and a world class save by Gordon to put the Porteous header onto the post. However I felt if Hibs had got parity then the JTs would have switched back to their first half tactics and am sure they would have scored again especially after Hibs went down to 10 men. ( and almost 9! ) Hearts had a couple of wide tricky players on the bench and am sure we would have seen them on if it had gone to 2 . 2
Moments that made me feel it wouldn't be Hibs day yet again.....................
James Scott started ( although to his merit he did put in a shift)
The header off the post that rebounded to Gordon
Newell getting sent off. ( plenty of fight from Hibs today .......in more ways than 1 ! )
Special mention must go to the 2 strikes for the Hearts goals, especially the second ......well worked and beautifully struck.
I see Maloney is saying it's good to make the Hibs fans happy and that they will continue to be over the next 4 to 5 years whilst his plan comes together.......
Hope you get that long Shaun. At the end of the day Shaun, no matter how well Hibs played and fought there is only one important stat................2 . 1 win for Hearts who progress to the Cup Final. You now have to pick your squad up for what might be 5 of your own "Cup Finals" to ensure Premier football next season. Hearts progress to the Cup Final and some form of group stage Euro football next season......well done. 
.......right, cheerio, back to National League North again............
