00:00John, I won one draw here at Easter Road today between Hibs and Hearts, what's your thoughts
00:06on the game?
00:07It's never dull, is it? Always an interesting game. I genuinely, and this probably goes
00:12against me, I did not see Hibs throwing it away actually when they were 1-0 up. They'd
00:16done very well there and I just couldn't see a way back into it for Hearts, despite everything
00:21I've seen this season, which tells me I don't learn things, because it was all likely, wasn't
00:25it?
00:26I mean, I had that kind of look about it when you've got, Hibs have not laded a couple of
00:30chances to get a second goal, didn't quite happen, and then Hearts come back, you've
00:34got to play Hearts with a bit of resilience at the end and they get a good goal through
00:37James Wilson. Not a great quality game to be fair, I think at times the passing was
00:43pretty dreadful, you saw a number of balls going out of the pitch, that let it down a
00:47little bit, but certainly drama at the end, you couldn't argue with the dramatic ending.
00:51Yeah, I mean it was interesting enough, entertaining enough, you're right to point out the Hibs
00:55chances, I think Dwight Gale has seen on his own really, that he should bury Triantis,
01:00might be offside the one he has, but there's chances to make it 2-0 and that makes a big
01:04difference and then if you're looking at the Hearts goal from a Hibs point of view, as
01:08David Gray is, he's rightly really annoyed about it, losing first contact, losing, sleeping
01:14at the back post and that's something that keeps happening again and again and that's
01:18going to be a real worry for him.
01:20Did you think Hibs would be cursing Greg Gordon a little bit, a couple of those one-handed
01:23saves, slotted them again?
01:25Yeah, yeah and I mean you can say they're good chances straight at the keeper in some
01:29sense, but you've still got to make them, you've got to stick his hand out, he's got
01:32to get a big hand there, he did really, really well today, I was impressed with him in a
01:36game where there weren't a lot of impressive performances, not a lot of people are walking
01:39off with 9 out of 10 for that one.
