    This quote from a Hearts fan on the BBC website this morning. Eleven points ahead of fouth with fifteen points to play for. Fitba fans, eh?

    Chris: This game highlights the mentality needed to compete at the top level; we just don’t have it. We have no real spark, Shankland is blowing cold and if anyone thinks third place in the league is a gimme then watch this space. It’s going to be a nervy run in.

    Wowzers.  What an idiot

    Why do they need to know the result of tomorrow’s game to ensure the don’t make the OF game a decider? Why not just make it the first game after the split? 

    Sky want it on a specific date and they're waiting to see if it them becomes a potential title decider.

    Tbh they shoukd just schedule it last day and leave the issues to the police, it's hardly unpolicable, the do cup finals which are logistically much worse regularly

  3. How's this thread become about Shankland when he was one of the few who played ok when he came on.  3 of the back 4 had absolute shockers and we looked absolutely devoid of ideas from the start in how to break them down.  

    Ferguson and Tierney were decent, but it was very poor all round

  4. Souttar on the right, fine.  Left side of a 3, absolutely not.  Especially as it completely negates his passing as we saw last night.  

    I'd blame others far more for the goals we lost than Souttar though, no idea what Porteous is up to at the 2nd and he's poor at the 4th.  He was good up till then right enough

    Holland are nowhere near a top tier national side. If they can beat us 4-0, the likes of Hungary will be fancying their chances of doing the same. 

    They're 6th in the world, got to the WC QF, nations league semi and have much better players than Hungary.

    I doubt we'll sub half our defence to experiment in the euros

    Couldn't score, shipped four. For much of the match, the radio commentary gushed as if we were winning. It especially went to pieces after the subs.

    It could be same old same old in June.

    For much of the match we were the better team and created a lot of great chances.

    Very poor last 20 minutes obviously

  7. As shite as Souttar was when he came on (very), i think putting him in on the left of a back 3 was a very poor decision when Cooper is on the bench.  Could have brought him on for Porteous if you're wanting to give him a run

    The subs all made us worse but the last 3 goals were just all catalogues of errors.

    Shankland played fine but he's got to put that chance away and he'll have nightmares about it.

    Hickey being fit feels massive for the summer

     

  8. I emailed Hearts at the time, they could not have cared less.  I'm not going to boycott because of it even though it its clearly awful as i genuinely don't think there is any way it comes back out now it's in.

    You'd need universal agreement between fans that it's bad, which you don't have, and a coherent approach to impact it.  I'd love to be wrong on it but i don't think a couple of hundred emails/threats of boycott across various different teams is going to make any progress

    Any Hearts fan who wouldn't be absolutely howling about that free kick if the shoe had been on the other foot is at it. It's the clearest example of the "offside-interfering-with-play" phenomenon I've ever seen and I'm baffled there are people trying to argue with a straight face that the goal should have stood. 

    You've more of an argument with the penalty but I agree with Mark that contact doesn't automatically mean foul. It was never a booking though. 

    At the point the ball is struck the question is whether Shankland is impeding his ability to play the ball.  Which i don't think he is.  You can argue it and obviously they have disallowed it but i don't think Wickens is getting near it.  He's already started moving over towards that side when it's hit.

    We got a goal given against us in Europe which was a far bigger example of interfering with play this season and i definitely was annoyed by it tbf

  10. Looking back on it, I'm less annoyed by the free kick being disallowed  than i was yesterday though i still think it should count.  Shankland is in there trying to exploit the rules and i think he just about gets it right.

    Ultimately we had plenty chances and played ok but you deserve to lose if you sell such bad goals.  If Sibbick just knocks it out for a corner we probably win the game.

    Break is coming at the right time for us, shoukd hopefully have a decent number of players back from injury for the Killie game.

    I, for one, would bravely sacrifice my ticket in the interests of a fellow Hearts man increasing his chance of a ride. 

    Going out on a limb here but I'm not sure shouting puce-faced insults next to a prospective partner, as Beaton hands Rangers a third penalty,  is increasing anyone's chances.

    Not kinkshaming of course.
