Lenny apparently considering moving for another goalie due to Rocky's misfortune! Bring back the snarling 'roly poly goalie' eh lol!!! Bring back the 'goalie legend' and lets start the Scottish Cup good times all over again!! Ahhh, such sweet nostalgia when 'it all came together' and we won the Holy Grail - never to be forgotten by all Hibees!!

So its hertz in the next round at the PBS. They weren't exactly convincing though. Im quite relaxed about it to be honest,i hope we get through and think we have a real chance but its the league we need to be keeping our eye on at this stage of the season.

Hearts and Cathro have still only won one match inside the 90 mins! I  briefly read the match report and the Raith lad, Stewart, again appears to be a main offender in not punishing a weak Hearts defence with some woeful striker's finishing in great positions to score! I also see Hearts got their usual 'bail out pk' but they seem to have a very unbalanced side and Paterson's vacated RB position is there to be exploited! When do they meet Celtic? The reason I ask that question is because this Cathro team is definitely gonna get a resounding 'doing' from an incisive opponent at some point! They have a chance at home against Hibs in a one off cup tie but if Hibs 'show up', we will win and win the game by a good score. IMO their chances of winning the SC are nil regardless of this 5th round result - they don't have the players or the proper manager to win it!!

My only concern is that we totally collapsed after the cup victory v hearts last season. A lot of those players are still here.

I do think that physically we are a stronger team this season though.

I also think Hibs are in a better position than last year and recovering players are gradually returning to strengthen the Hibs 1st team squad. Agreed the Championship title is top priority! The Scottish Cup? As previously commented, I strongly believe Celtic/Rodgers will attain a historic 'domestic treble' unless other corrupt SFA ref officials somehow interfere in it much like in that infamous SC semi-final v ICT and the Meekings hand ball 'incident'! On a similar issue, I'll be curious to see who the ref will be at Tynecastle - a reasonably competent one will do fine and one who knows how to interpret a real pk offence as well as issuing red cards properly.

As I have said before a distraction we could do without.

It's a match of 'great interest' and one to 'stir the imagination' newhavenhibby in a season when we have not had many of these kinda matches. I'm sure the players will relish this occasion and hopefully finish Hearts' interest in this tourney for another season. The Hibs fans who attend this match will be partying no matter what the eventual result. Our first chant of the day? No doubt it will be, 'When the HIBS go on to lift the Scottish Cup WE'LL BE THERE, WE'LL BE THERE!!!  And I think there will be a good number of 'home truths' shoved down the throats of many Hearts fans who have suddenly run out of 'ammunition' that they used to use/utter against Hibs!! Priceless and, like hibeejim, I'm fairly relaxed re this upcoming confrontation at the PBS against a team with a poor manager, a shocking defence with a very slow Aaron Huges in it, Soutar an absolute 'bombscare' who looks like he doesn't wanna be there and two full back positions that are there to be exploited by proper wing play! I hope Lenny is reading this or, even better, I hope he has observed what I've perceived re a team that looks like it has just been set up by it's manager and is lacking a lot in terms of accountability and all round quality on the pitch!

[HerefordBull]

If we do win the game at Tynecastle ( or even if we get beat) I hope we have won the League games leading up to it and Dundee United have dropped points.

Time will tell.

It'll be Craig Thomson then no doubt!!!!!

[HerefordBull]

If it is Inverurie it should add a fair bit of extra spice. Lets hope this time he can see the white lines of the penalty a box......something he had trouble with just into the 2nd half in 2012.
