Hearts fans' reaction: Halliday hushing the Hibees; A Carlsberg Saturday; Magnificent McKay

What the Hearts fans said about the cinch Premiership Capital derby against Hibs at Tynecastle Park.

Lynnette Duffy: “Don't you just love Halliday - gets pelters for a huge part of the first half from the opposition - he doesn't get arsy, he doesn't show attitude, he doesn't argue back to the crowd etc. He just scores twice to set up our win.”

@DMcIver22: “Listen - I've been one of Halliday's critics, particularly last season. This year he's stepped up but felt there was always times he'd mess up. Up until his goal, I thought he was really poor.

But when you do what he did today, there can be no criticism. Was exceptional.”

@MartinTaylor9: "Halliday joining the Nade, Obua,Stamp club of Hearts players that Hibs fans have goaded during a match, only for it to spectacularly bite them on the arse.”

@Golder56: “Everything that could possibly happen happened, 3rd sealed, H1b5 in bottom six and giving H1b5 a lifeline to get in the top 6 then taking it away from them in convincing fashion.”

@adamtkendo: “Hearts win the derby, consigning Hibs to the bottom six. Aberdeen join them… If Carlsberg did Saturday afternoons.”

@lauriedunsire: “Poor opening, but that was about as dominant a half in a derby as I can remember in the second period. Great atmosphere today, terrific recovery from a sloppy start and a much deserved win. Bring on the Hibees.”

Andy Halliday celebrates his second goal in front of the Hearts fans to make it 3-1

@DMcIver22: “Nathaniel Atkinson was very good. He also has a class song about him. I'm becoming more and more of a fan.”

@ThomasVolka: “Is Barrie Mckay the best outfield hearts player since administration? It’s not for me to say but yes, yes he is.”

@ThisMyStoryPod: “The seagulls had a rare feed today. Gordon caught more pies and juice than he did shots on target.”

@The_FOH: “Huge congratulations to this guy, to the whole squad, and to Robbie for securing third place. What an achievement after just being promoted. And what an atmosphere at Tynecastle too. Fans were magnificent.”

@HeartsRant: “All the right notes being struck from the manager. Both in his analysis of the game and the tone given the magnitude of next week.”
