Nonces v Heart of Midlothian

[Del-icious]

Must be because I only watch the Hearts games but it seems we're exclusively quite poor in Glasgow though. Everyone else can go through and shut up shop and take 1-0/2-1 defeat but almost everytime we go through we get hammered. How many other teams have an aggregate score of 9-1 for their last visits to Ibrox and Celtic Park?

Is that not what the opposite of hearts fans want though, at least on here it seems? If hearts went the day and sat 11 behind the ball for 90 mins and got beat 1-0 folk would be seething we didn't go and have a go and just sat off. But if you go and try and play football/take the game to them you're leaving yourself exposed to a 3/4+ defeat.

Our record in Glasgow is bad but no one in the league is going to have a particularly good record through there regardless of whether they're heavy defeats or no.

My criticism today would be that we all know Celtic start with a huge intensity first half and fall away in the second, would we no have been better just sitting in first half and trying to soak up all the pressure to then give ourselves a better chance against a tired Celtic team in the second? It's good to get an early goal but all it did was put the fire in their bellies and everyone kens its basically game over once they go 2-1 up. That sounds like I'm criticising us for going 1-0 up which isn't the case, but I would've liked to us see us have a bit more about us in the second half where we know Celtic have struggled through the season as that's where they're most vulnerable.

Ultimately probably wouldn't have made a difference as they played well today and there's not much you can do when that's the case.
