Scottish Cup Final: Hibernian v Heart of Midlothian Sportscene

Scotland's capital is emptying... The cup final... The nerves. To MAP

we lay Yelesina. From ancient grudge break into new mutiny, where

civil rivalry makes civil team's dream of what might be, from 4th

whose Cup story is there for all to no and the continuance of their

followers' passion, which they end cannot remove. The shot! Is now the

90 minutes traffic of our stage, the Witch, with you -- if you with

patient ears and eyes shall attend, what you shall miss, our toil shall

strive to end, that final, the cup. The rivals. Never has an Edinburgh

derby mattered so much. To date at Hampden, a capital conclusion to

the Scottish Football season, the first meeting of Hibs and Hearts in

the Scottish Cup final with 1896. With Pat Nevin and me is Sandy

Clark. That was an Edinburgh exodus with tens of thousands of

supporters switching from east to west to take their place on the

march but has been more than a century in the making. It was as

much can't lose as must win. And the commentary comes from Billy

in from close range. That gave Hearts the lead. They looked

comfortable them. The former skipper of Falkirk opening the

scoring and looked even more comfortable then. Skacel's

deflected goal of James McPake made it two. But then that paid made

amends because of his deflection which took it past Mark Brown.

Knocking it past Jamie MacDonald. That is what is made in -- making

it interesting. James McPake has called Hibernian back into ring --

into it. Half time at the National Hampden Park this afternoon. A

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everybody to see Hibernian take on

Hearts. Once in a century and once consultation with the linesman, but

Hearts had a penalty at the start of the second half. Bad is a body

blow for Hibs. Griffiths does not do enough. And it is a red card! A

red card for Kujabi! Hibs hopes, having resurrected them before

half-time, but a second yellow or Kujabi. And has he goes up the

tunnel does he take the hopes of Hibs with him? Double jeopardy for

Hibernian. I think it is a harsh sending-off because it is not

intentional. A certain penalty, a clear opportunity, and a little

pool on the jersey, not just a clip. Hearts, a fantastic chance to go 3-

goal. On the occasion you want calmness and composure. He just

steps up and even if MacDonald goes the right way, he doesn't get it. A

great penalty from Danny Grainger. Hibernian with 10 men, it is a long

way back for them. Danny Grainger, he would have been heart of the

squad that would have played against Hearts in 2006 but it was

cruelly snatched away because of a loan spell at Brede in -- Brechin

City. But it could that be the crucial goal in the 2012 Scottish

men. It was funny watching the replays come through, Ian Black

didn't look at it. He faced away. Then Black started celebrating.

Tugging the Jersey, that is why he unintentional clip on the heels.

That is why Craig Thomson gives the second half for Hibs. The manager

has made the right changes and makes the right formation changes

and he realises that the momentum is going well, but suddenly there

is the penalty. The question I ask, where does Pat Nevin go from here -

Ryan McGowan makes it four. Suddenly it is a rout. It is all

over. Again, Hibs switch-off. They are down to 10 men but you cannot

leave Skacel in the box. A little touch and then Abdel Bassset Ali

easy. A knock over the line with his head and it is game over for

Hibs. Ryan McGowan knocks the ball into the net. It is his third of

the season also a two of them have exit, and the worst thing for them

is that it could get a heck of a you suspect it will not finish at

four. You do not want to open it up more as a Hibs player but I think

it is damage limitation for the shout. Play it tight, compact, Nick

Haig goal, but do not open up. -- act. Again, from the set-piece. I

know they are down to 10 men, but all day long they have lost goals

Another yellow card. Not even a hard decision for Craig Thomson.

You feel for Hibs. They got back in again, but Hearts have been rampant.

You cannot legislate for Kujabi making that sort of challenge.

There is another one, they are getting frustrated. He picks up

quickly after the challenge. Let's have a look here. A little shove.

But he comes away the ball. This is what turned the game at the start

of the second half. The referee, right on the line, inside the box.

Grainger made it 3-1. And not too long after that, Hearts got the 4th.

is a five-star Hearts. Rudi Skacel's second. His 18th of the

season. And this is going to go into the annals of the Edinburgh

derby hammering us. Well, if he is going to bow out, what a way to bow

out. Suso Santana and Skacel do so well, shifting the ball. It goes

through the keeper's legs. There is no chance. Eclipse the inside the

post, and Rudi Skacel celebrates. - - eclipsed the inside. Rudi Skacel,

with 15 to go, and they have changed their mind about the change.

It will be Suso Santana who goes off, not Stephen Elliott. Craig

Beattie. The man who unlocked all the possibilities for the afternoon

was that man there, Craig Beattie. Listen to the applause for Craig

Beattie. He scored that penalty in injury time against injury --

Hibs going very much through the have been. Stephen Elliott involved

with a final shot, but Craig Beattie into macro Skacel, and he's

enjoying it. You see what he's know Skacel has the double, but he

started it, getting on the ball, when there was 11 on the pitch. A

lovely moment for this young lad. Good luck to him. A top player for

us. Ian Black lives and breathes minute of the 90. And whatever

Craig Thomson wants to add on the end of that. He is going to speak

to Pat Fenlon. He has been sent to that a -- away from the technical

area. It has got word for -- was the Irishman. They can only be

frustration from Pat Fenlon. But for Hearts fans it is something

else for them to lap up. The run-in with Craig Thomson, that happened a

few weeks ago as well as a Hibs game. I don't think he was happy

with the appointment either. He now finds himself... He's he sent to

the stance? The policeman telling him to go up. He kept on giving

in the opening moments of the match. He did fix it, but he never got a

chance to build on it. But after Kjaer beat sent off and he was 3-1

Outstanding. The way the boys went about their business, brilliant.

They deserve every minute of it. What a scoreline, did you expect a

tough afternoon? We did, but we knew if we went about the business

the right way we could do it and the boys have been absolutely

unbelievable. What does that mean for these players and the manager,

do you say? Massive, we got past Celtic, we said let's go and do it.

The manager has kept as calm and cool. He told us to enjoy it, enjoy

the occasion. We went out there and did the business. You will enjoy

the occasion, well done. Thank you very much, thank you. Not an

afternoon for Hearts. Brilliant. It has been a great game. Did you

expected to be tougher? You always expect a tough derby. It is never

easy. Sometimes you make it look easy but it is never easy. Well

done, enjoy the party. Thank you. It is a day these guys are not

going to forget, ever. It is the day the Hearts fans could only have

dreamt of. Not in several lifetimes has there been a cup final quite

like it, and Edinburgh derby Cup final which has been one, it in

1896 bike Heart of Midlothian. Paulo Sergio, he joins the

glitterati at Hearts. Where will his future be? Then name is etched

emphatic manner as it has turned Congratulations, you look a very

happy man. Thank you very much. It finished the right way for some I

am pleased to we showed everybody, there is only one team in Edinburgh.

Fantastic scenes behind you. What does it mean to you? They deserve

it, big thanks to them. It was a tougher afternoon today. Yes. It

will be remembered for over 100 years. These fans want to know if

they will look forward to seeing you next year. Will you be here

next season? It is in my hands, we will see what happens, never say

happen -- never say never. Well How are you feeling? All right,

very happy to give them all that Tchoyi, the pride they can feel

today was massive for me and my family and my goal for my grandad,

who passed away. I noticed that T- shirt. Yes, definitely, I have not

been able to get over things but today it has been a massive day for

all of us, my friends and family travelled up from England to

supporters and my son is here as well which is great for him to look

back on in a few years' time. I am so happy for all the boys. Skacel

deserves all the credit he gets. He has been fantastic all season. A

lot of boys are moving on but today A fantastic scene behind due today,

what an afternoon for Hearts. listen. It is a brilliant feeling.

You have been around this club for a long time, you have grown to love

this club. What does it mean to you personally? This will take the

place inside of me have and all the time I will come to this and watch

again, brilliant will start a very big party tonight? And tomorrow as

Darren, can you quite believe you helped make this happen? I can, to

see the supporters is unbelievable. It is absolutely brilliant. What

was going through your head? I was getting my best back, I got a break

with the ball, it was my first goal, I was happy we came out in the

second half and started brightened got goals when we did. It is

something you dream of as a boy, scoring in a Scottish football

final? This is why you play football, this is what it is about.

A congratulations. Thank you for stamp -- St Ewe. -- thank you.

the start of the season I was not involved in the first team and to

finish winning it is unbelievable. Your father came to watch it?

he surprised me during the week, they said they would not come over

but I got a phone call to say he was over, it is something I can't

put into words. A very proud moment. It is. We will have drinks tonight

to celebrate. Well done. Thank you very much. Hibs van Pat Nevin with

me in the studio, a former Hearts player and manager Sandy Clark as

well. Hearts went in as firm favourites but we could never have

expected that game to be that historic match, that it would and

been quite as an Fadiga win? think you were Hearts supporter, I

thought it would be tight, I really did, and at half-time -- and at

half-time were thought it would be interesting second half but when

you look back at the game the way Hearts started, their attitude

towards winning the ball and trying to have a good team, the manager

deserves credit and they were strong winners. If you want a

Hearts fan you were delighted but you feel for your opponents. It was

always painful going -- it was always going to be painful for the

losers, agony for Hibs. We were chatting before the game about it,

they turned up at the Celtic game, 6-1, the players did not turn up

for this one. But I don't, just before, how many players would you

have that would get a game for Hearts generally? Hearts were far

better. It needed Hearts to have a bad day and Hibs to have a good day

and the opposite happening. Barr's opening goal demonstrated that they

loose ball, they get it. Barr, and delighted for him. He has not had

the best of times at Hearts, but he is up there, positive, he has a go.

You have to be determined and have a hunger to get there. That will

some it up. Any kids watching that, a brilliant goal from Hearts's

point of view but Hibs, the thing that disappoints them, don't take

away from Barr, he is a defensive player, he will enjoy that one

thoroughly for years to come. He could not catch his breath, all the

excitement, I am pleased for the Hearts came up with nothing that

should have surprised Hibs. They allowed Skacel the sort of room

from which he will only do damage? All the stuff we talked about,

everything we expected. To be fair to Pat Fenlon, he tried to put out

a system where they were mocking Skacel but in fact there marking

was too clever, so when he got himself a little bit of space, he

black today he was fantastic. Skacel, he usually catches

everything cleaned. This isn't clean. It is not a surprise. You

watch him there, he drops of a little bit, it is hard to pick him

up. He is good at hitting the target. I am not sure if he tried

that pass but he gets time to turn, that is where Hibs let it fall

today. He plays that in no man's land between the midfield. You need

a man in front and the man behind. They set out to try and do that

and... It did not work. That is the way Hearts play, they played game

after game, they are really good team and Skacel today got in those

areas once or twice in the game and when he gets that chance he is

deadly. McPake's goal was a godsend. They had been outplayed but this

changed the complexion. Yes, he had not got wide at all, they tried to

change it before half-time. They bought Sproule on. The ball goes

out wide. If anybody deserved a goal this season, it is Mick Bates

-- it is McPake. He has the desire. That was one of the few times Hibs

to a wider area and put it in. Hibs, Hearts get players behind the ball.

They have a determination to get behind the ball. They don't always

defend particularly well when they get there, that time the ball

crossed Cup -- the ball got across the middle. There was a willingness,

and will lift the Hibs, can they keep their heads? Well, some of

them did that one did not and it was something a lot of people who

have been watching them all season, Kujabi was an accident waiting to

happen and all the accidents happened today with Kujabi. It is a

shame, to point to one player. gets behind him. If you are

defending, don't do that. Don't died in unless you can win the ball.

And do not get off your feet. He takes a chance there and that is

obviously a yellow card. And that is the way he plays the game. I do

not know what he's thinking about. It is a yellow card, no complaints.

You cannot have anyone saying it should not have been a sending-off.

It is a stone wall sending off but I'm not having it is a penalty, it

is outside the box. By the tiny moves in the box he goes over. I

don't think there is a trip. The referee, a fabulous position. It is

a sending-off, he got that right but is a penalty? For me, no where

near. I just cannot see why he gets it wrong. Having said all that, I

don't think that is why Hibs lost a game. A great penalty from Grainger

but if you look back at the defending, they are trying to stop

Suso Santana down the line. He shouldn't be near the box by

eventually falls outside it and I'm surprised. I am saying it was

inside the box. Now, I agree, really. A bad start, a yellow card

already. If you how someone playing like that in that position, change

them. We did say he was having a stinker and he was on a yellow card

and then there is a massive danger. Hibs were not playing well and if

they were going to go down to 10 men, that was the game over and we

will ride. The penalty was conceded 39 seconds into the second half and

five minutes after the restart, game over. The set piece again.

Three times at Hibs have a chance to make a challenge in a 50/50

situation. Ryan McGowan, there is no way he will be second to the

ball and that sums up the game. Hearts had the desire to get there

first and make sure they would win the 50/50 and get across people and

make sure they would stop the Rudi Skacel got the 5th goal, 15

from time. At this point we did and by the time you get to seven

that is something never forgotten. I'm sure this won't be any way.

They really did find the corners. The three players between him and

goal and no one puts in a tackle. I will grant you that, but I don't

want to go on about the negativity towards Hibs and Skacel does very

well, time and time again, generally dense Hibs and he hits

the corners. The amount of time it hits the post and goes in his

A quality player. Once again he picks up or Cup winner's medal and

he is off, Skacel. I would love him to stay. They have a lot of things

to fix in the summer and the manager is up for debate but I

don't think they will worry at the moment. A great day and a day to

enjoy. The Hearts plays turned it on that performance. You talk about

the fall back getting sent off, but he is not the only one who didn't

play well. There were a few of them who need to have a look at

themselves. It is certainly the end of the line a Hearts or Ian Black.

He is often the summer. No doubt about his passion for the club, he

made that clear again and again there was the lucky to stay on the

was a penalty, he would have been off. I am not sure. When you jump,

your arms are therefore balance. There is a left-foot pass and he

has acres of space. Look at the Spacey gets here. This was him all

day. -- the space he gets here. He just got the ball time and time

again. I think he was a player who was the player of the match by a

distance. He had a good game. You talk about the image of him being

hot-headed. But today we could have played in the space he had. If you

look at Ian Black, he is a top footballer and you tend to forget

that. Do you think he cares? That is why Hearts have won the Cup,

that his passion. They wanted it more than Hibs. You talk about the

fact that Hibs have a lot of players on loan, and that makes a

difference. Do they care enough? I thought it might take the pressure

off, but do they care enough? Certainly not as much as the Hearts

As the dust settled on the emphatic win, the Hibs manager Pat Fenlon

tried to explain away a devastating defeat. I am guessing that must be

one of the most painful experiences you have had to endure in football.

Yes, he was desperately disappointing today. We never

showed up from the start of the game. No complaints. How do you

explain it? It seemed for the first half-hour that the Hibs players did

not seem to be there. We can explain it with the position we are

in the league and we have struggled over time in the club. Last week

and we went Inverness and that showed me what was wrong with the

place. A lack of desire and a lack of effort. You can lose games, but

if you don't show passion and desire, especially in the Cup final,

it nothing's going to happen. the scoreline a fair reflection in

the gulf between the teams? could have been more in fairness. I

am devastated for the supporters, to be honest. I am only here a

short time and it was a massive game for them and we let them down.

What was your view of the penalty decision and the sending off?

didn't see the penalty, but from where I was it was impossible to

see where it was. In fairness that has changed the game but we were

second fiddle for most of the game. The main feeling is frustration and

annoyance at giving the ball away so cheaply on a regular basis. I

apologise to the supporters for that. A bad day for us and you have

to take it on the chin. To clarify any confusion, did the referee sten

-- Sen due to the stands for a gesture? It is my M plays giving

the ball when it was frustration and they should have shown more

frustration and desire and passion about the game. So much build-up to

a massive cup final. Hibs weight in the Scottish Cup Final stays in the

wilderness. What is your message to the fans this evening? What other

rice say this evening will not make it any event -- easier for them --

whatever I say. The we apologise for the display. I am the manager

and have to take responsibility. It is not good enough. The two

weekends a show me what is wrong with the place and we will change

it. There was confusion as to why Pat Fenlon was sent to the stand.

He said it was a gesture which was aimed at his own players and the

disappointment he felt about the performances. The indication at the

time was this was aimed at the Hearts supporters who were so

Casserly shouting at the time that there was only one Pat Fenlon. --

sarcastically shouting. Have a look at this and make up your mind.

it has to be said. It is frustration, isn't it? Pat will be

embarrassed but you can understand it. I thought his comments were

brilliant because he is not hiding behind it. His team did not perform.

They have let the fans down. He picks the team and has put his

hands up and he has a big job to do. It is frustration from Pat Fenlon,

and he will be embarrassed and I think he will apologise. I like the

fact he showed some passion. That was good. These pictures do not

show a great case for the defence. He cares. His team are getting

hammered. But you cannot do that. You have to have dignity. If you

are a manager of a big bore all club, you have to have a standard.

-- a big football club. You have to stick to what you're doing. Let's

remember there are a lot of fans are doing a helluva lot worse to

him constantly and he does one little gesture. I think sometimes

we can get carried away. It's not the end of the world. Hibs played

like a team who had only just scraped survival in the SPL. They

didn't play well today but that is where they are. It is back to what

Pat Fenlon said. He has not been working with them and hardening

them, he has the money coddle them. He was brought in to do a job, keep

them in the SPL. And he has done it, only just, but he did it. It is a

bonus getting to the final. Getting hammered by Hearts in the Scottish

Cup, the hoodoo goes on, but that is not his job. His job was to keep

them in the Premier League and Buffon from there and change the

team, but it's a big job in itself. Joy for the jumbos inside Hampden.

Banner mood of the supporters hadn't changed much -- and the mood

of the supporters hadn't changed much. It was a cup final and maybe

the fact there are lot of guys on loan, maybe that was behind it. But

Hearts will more up for it. To go down like that is pretty much.

Terrible. We were not as good as them. But we will come back. I feel

let down. We were really disappointed. I felt as if we

started quite well but the longer the game went on, Hearts dominated

and Ian Black got a lot of touches and we didn't seem to get close to

the important players. And we lost a couple of soft goals in the first

half, got one back and thought we had a chance and I think a sending-

off and penalty the whole game has Absolutely delighted. For me, the

game could not have gone better. Just absolutely delighted. Best day

of my life without a shadow of the doubt. 4-0 this time, 5-1 this time.

Nervous wrecks, but this is all worth it. It has been brilliant.

Every nerve and feeling, this has been worth it. 5-1, Cup final.

Words cannot explain how good it was. I am very sorry, but chaps,

hard lines. 1896! Amazing for Hearts, we knew we would do it, but

the expectations were broken. Nothing will ever be that. That is

them finished all the rest of their lives. Party tonight? A party

tonight. My mates told me not to suggest -- to send a text to them.

Well done, guys, I hope you enjoyed yourselves are no speech you in a

month when you can talk again. gloating will continue. Lots of

Hearts and Hibs fans did not have tickets and they watched TV

coverage in Edinburgh. This was the reaction in two supporters' clubs.

Ever-changing moods. That could have been the soundtrack for the

clubs. Two goals behind, despondency all around, then

suddenly, James McPake scored just before half-time. And their hopes

were up again. Not for long. These were the Hearts supporters watching

their team going 5-1 ahead. Rudi Skacel's second of the game, and

then when the full-time whistle went, that is how it was. So, what

is happening in Edinburgh tonight? Our reporter can answer that

question as the Hearts celebrations This morning two sets of fans are

left Edinburgh dreaming of Scottish Cup glory. However, only one set of

fans are partying tonight and that is those of Hearts and in a few

moments time the team will make its way along Gorgie Road and these

Yes! Getting there! Yes! Many congratulations, you have just

driven along Gorgie Road. How does it feel? That is what makes me

happy, to see the happiness of the other people. A cigarette moment

for me. Because I can feel the pride of my parents, my wife and my

kids, that is what matters for me. For me it is not money, it is not

being on the spot, it is the feelings of the other ones. I am

strong enough to survive any storm. I want those around me to feel

happy. You were close to tears? Very emotional. When I spoke about

my family, all the love I have for them, I know and I want every

single day of my life to make them proud. Because I am so proud of

them. I am not sure if they do this and Portugal, do they? Win cups?

Yes, they do, they do. We had a similar people in the way we do

these things, it is very important to me, having a family seeing us

lift the Cup. A fantastic moment. After the final whistle, it is a

different day. Until the final whistle it is a day like any other.

Darren Barr, you were distraught at Hampden a couple of years ago when

you lost a cup final with Falkirk. Was it feel like today? If I am in

honest, I cannot believe it, it has not sunk in. It is a pleasure, the

team performance was immense, and can't complain. What about the

celebrations driving along and the bus? A great day my life, I am

taking it on. This is supposed to be your last game for Hearts, I am

sure there will be talks over the next few weeks. What was the

feeling like when the 90 minutes, the final whistle went today?

was an emotional time, not just for myself, for the squad. We set out

to do this after beating Celtic and to get the result we did was

delight for. It was a team game, we all did great. An occasion that is

going to meet -- going to be magnificent. The celebrations, you

don't get a taste that very often, do you? You don't, maybe once-in-a-

lifetime and I'm bowing out on the biggest high of my life so I will

enjoy every moment. You look as if you have enjoyed every moment.

Jamie, you have the winners'' medal. What does it mean to you? It means

everything. In 2080 I was distraught, to win it today is...

Just speechless come to be honest. It has been a great day especially

against a local rivals. Hearts fan, man and boy, been there as a player,

what does it mean? It was brilliant, the best day. I did not think it

would go as well as that. The sending-off was a turning-point

macro. We will take that and enjoy the night. What about the reception

from the fans? Fantastic. My close friends, we will be quicker this

time than last time, but it is one to enjoy, I am looking forward to

seeing my wife and kids and have a good night tonight. Have a great

How do you feel? Great, we did really well, we showed everybody's

there is only one team in Edinburgh. Fantastic. It will be quite a party

tomorrow. It will be similar to 2006, a massive party for the

bigger heart of Edinburgh. Hopefully, if I don't lose tonight,

hopefully tomorrow. All the best. A few tired and emotional people

around in that celebration party tonight and not surprising, who

would blame them? I wonder what sort of Hearts team we will see

next season. It will be a big change in the summer. Yes, it is

transition again, down to the owner, the budget, the players for next

season. They have lost one or two already. They could lose the

nucleus of the team. He will be a massive mess and if that happens

three or four macro times than they were hard to replace. They have

young players that Hearts but they will want to bring in some players

as well. It is down to the owner, how much she is prepared to back

the manager, whoever that may be. Normally you would expect the team

to kick on, but in a title challenge domestically, and of

course they are in the Europa League play-offs saw a big

opportunity for Hearts but you wonder about the strength of the

squad with costs being trimmed. is the classic shout of the

football fan, go to the next level, it means through more money at it.

He is not going to do it again, painful though it is for Hearts fan,

-- fans, and when you have a nucleus of a good team, you take

Skacel out of that, Beattie out, Black, that is the core part of the

team. I agree, there is enough good young players coming through. I am

impressed with some of the guys, Driver will be a good player next

year if he is free from injury. A lot of teams in Scotland a maybe

not as strong as they have been in the past. They have to cut their

cloth. They will build up again. From Paulo Sergio's point of view,

he must think he could do something out, he could go a challenge, get

close, be the second force. It will be tougher now. Another of your

board teams are celebrating tonight, St Johnstone with a place in Europe

courtesy of Hearts winning the Cup. Yes, they have had a good season,

they have kicked on in the last two of three years. They will be

delighted. They will lose players because of the financial contract,

but my time at St Johnstone, we played in the European competition,

so good look to them. Our final word tonight should be for Paulo

Sergio, who was so emotional in that interview. He has clued Hearts

together, it seems, because they have looked on the point of

imploding with late wage payments and the usual sides Joe going on.

It is not the easiest job in the world being Hearts manager. Maybe

this year as much as anybody else. I like the way he has been, after

the game to date he was very quick to say he is thinking about Hibs

and the pain they are going through. That is a real professional,

somebody who understands. He has behaved fantastically. He has kept

the team together. You have a football club, your directors,

people at that level but on the day-to-day basis in the dressing

room at training you have to stay together, have a bond, there has to

be trust and that is the biggest thing for me. In adverse

circumstances with the wages, he has kept them close-knit and you

could see it today. It showed in the game and it showed in the

celebrations. They are happy with each other. That is a big thing,

you don't see the managers and players, their reaction to each

other was fantastic. They adore him. It will be a sad day for them if

they lose him. You feel it was a well-oiled machine, all the parts

were working in sharp contrast to the opposition. You have the

tactics, incredible. They did not change, but is the way they play. I

keep going back to Hibs today, they knew exactly what Hearts were going

to set up and they got it wrong at the start. They could not react.

knew what they would do. Sometimes you think player for player you can

change everything you like, you can drop a little bit deeper, you can

cut out, actually they have 11 players that are better than your

players, whatever you do is highly unlikely to work so you try

everything and I was not to down on Pat Fenlon in the end because he

tried something different, it didn't work, so he moved on from

that and accepted it but it will be a different team next season. We

have to say well done Hearts, the better team, I am gutted, I put my

hands up and my heart is broken as they say, but something will cheer
