Hearts to challenge old firm this season

The world according to Rye · 19th September 2003, 02:02 PM

I really feel that this season is gonna be the jambos chance to chellenge the old firm... possibly not win or be runners up but definetely make it close! What do you think?

The gap shouldnt be as big as it usually is at the end of the season as they seem to be playing pretty solid and consistently so far

I don't think they'll get that close to be fair because they will start losing games big-style come October and November- perhaps a couple of Old Firm defeats will start the rot. I think Dundee might come thrid this year- they always challenge the Old Firm in games and they're getting a certain famous Italian striker as well.

Haha ravanellis well fucking past it!
theres no doubt about it that hearts will come 3rd, there a far better team than dundee, dundee will come 4th i reckon with a decent gap between 4th and 5th

Rosco the magnificent · 19th September 2003, 04:31 PM

I think Hearts will come third, but just because everyone else is so crap

I dunno about hearts coming first but De Vries is a fuckin great striker

DJ_is_ghetto · 19th September 2003, 05:20 PM

oops that last one was me, not john.

Anyway De Vries (or whatever it is) A good forgien player in scotland outside the old firm?

Who thinks he'll be playing for celtic next season?

dont know about Hearts, but i can honestly see Dundee being up there also, if not this season in a couple of years time. It would be good to see Hearts up there to give the capital some say in the premier league.

Dundee have Rangers next saturday at Ibrox, and the week after its Hearts v Dundee which will be a good game i bet, and prolly one that might shape the outcome in the top half of the table for the future. Looking forward to that one.

Don't see the Dees gettin any points off us at Ibrox but defo could do something at Dens as they are always strong there. Hearts will be the real test and i fancy Dundee to take something from that game.

Also, lets try not to put Edinburgh on the football map- the place doesn't deserve it- lets have Dundee instead!

i think Dundee will come 3rd, they are usually consistant in the way they play against the old firm, not necessarily winning but keeping up a good standard against them. I think hearts could come 4th but im not altogether sure, they'll have to really prove themselves if they want to be taken as a serious contender coz they havnt been much past decent the past few seasons. i agree though that there'll be a smaller gap between 1st,2nd and 3rd,4th with a larger gap before you hit 5th downwards

The world according to Rye · 21st September 2003, 03:51 PM

ok.... Rangers just put in goal number 4 this very second... so i retract my origonal statement...

Hearts will still come and easy 3rd though

Rosco the magnificent · 21st September 2003, 06:41 PM

Hearts always bottle it when they play Rangers
