00:00And with the Derby this Saturday, what would a win or a loss, I suppose,
00:05whatever way it goes, do for that sort of narrative heading into a four-night break?
00:09Yeah, I mean, I think it's probably quite clear that if they win,
00:11if Hartzke get three points over against Hibs on Saturday,
00:15then you're going into an international break absolutely flying.
00:19The mood around the place is already good.
00:21They're two points clear at the top of the table.
00:23So if they maintain that advantage or potentially even stretch it and increase it,
00:29then the fans are already kind of daring to dream a little bit, which is great.
00:33I think people should do that.
00:35Why should you fall on your team?
00:37And if they get to a point where they're at the top of the league,
00:39we know it's only six games in, but why shouldn't you allow yourself to wonder
00:43just how far it can go?
00:45And some of the Hartzke fans are certainly up for doing that.
00:48Obviously, they're cautious about how things can,
00:52these so-called title challenges early in the season,
00:55they can fall away, as we saw last year with Aberdeen.
00:57That's a classic example.
00:58There's been plenty of others.
01:00But at the moment, Hartzke are in a strong position
01:03and they look like a team that's capable of staying there,
01:07at least for the foreseeable future, you know, the next few weeks.
01:12I think if they lose, then clearly that puts a downer on things.
01:18Going into the international break,
01:20that would be the worst kind of possible scenario they would want.
01:22But it would still leave them in a very strong position in the league table
01:26and clearly up there and around the top spot.
01:29So I think it's been a long time since they've gone into a derby
01:34in a good position like this.
01:36I think it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's been a long time since it's
