We drew away to Mechelen (0-0 but lost 2-0 at home, they won the ECWC that season) beat Tromso at home and drew 0-0 away, beat Elfsborg 2-1 away (0-0 at home) and we just don't talk about Hammarby The 80s ? Scottish Fitba has been going downwards since the SPL came to town, reaching new depths in a town/city near you soon The saviours Rangers claiming coups signing free transfers from England, Celtic wasting money and now not signing players for cash and getting beat away to a team that's no better than a pub team. Still Malta, Gibraltar are nice this time of year, Sweden too but £7+ a pint....nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just that we were producing top talents like Dalglish, McGrain, Souness, Johnstone, Baxter, the guys under them were also fucking good, relatively. Now we struggle to produce even these level-below guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Unlike the posters who had a wankfest when we lost our 1st leg in Gibraltar, I'm not going to take this opportunity to get some gloating revenge in for this embarrassing result.Scottish football really needs our clubs to do their bit in Europe & to have Hearts going out at this stage to some minnows from Malta is absolutely shocking. Got no time for Hearts but very disappointed that they got knocked out tonight. Still crying about last week lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Absolutely shameful result. A National embarrassment that Neilson really should be apologizing to the fans for. Not getting Paulo's hate for Budge tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time one of the top ten sides in Europe. What about Birkirkararara, what sort of standing do they hold in European terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Worst result ever in Europe for us.Absolutely no excuse for the terrible performances and the shameful result.RN is increasingly looking out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 4 hours ago, Dominique Malonga said: It probably sounds mental to supporters of other clubs that some Hearts fans are unhappy just now, especially after winning the Championship and finishing third in the two seasons since Budge has taken over. But to fans that are going every week and seeing the slow, ponderous style of football it must get grating pretty quickly. Throw in the Derby performances,club statements and results like tonight and I can see why some are pissed off tbf. Neilson seems totally uninspiring as well and I think that will rub off on the team. There's no excuse not to be playing a decent, exiting style of football as he has some good players at his disposal. On the contrary, they did play a style of exiting football last night. The name of this thread though Thanks guys, it's been highly entertaining following you on your European adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locheedfcno1 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Fucking seething at going out to this diddy mob. Like I said last week, we'd regret not pressing more for the away goal over there. When we hit the bar and missed a penalty at 0-0 it was a stick-on that we'd be out. Still, it's saved us from a shite draw in the next round. Badly need some cutting edge which hopefully Watt and the other striker rumoured to be coming in will help with. What level do you think the maltese team would play in Scotland?

BucksburnDandy Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Bloody hell Hearts, what happened?!Was sat in the pub in Ventspils last night stunned at the scoreline coming through from Tynecastle. Baffling stuff.Robbie Neilson seems rather in the mould of Craig Levein - happier to be negative than win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yes, but that was their only ever European tie and they had just been promoted out of the SFL Second Division... You could equally cite Morton getting hashed off Chelsea (was it not something like 9-2) but again that was their only venture. I was thinking of side with some kind of pedigree. People also cite Falkirk losing to Vaduz quite a lot but that is pretty unfair - they'd just been relegated from the Swiss top flight, as had Falkirk from ours. Kilmarnock did lose to a Northern Irish team, btw, it was Coleraine. Partick managed to execute 3 European campaigns without a humiliation and St Mirren head the list in my eyes on 4. We hadn't been relegated the season before we played Vaduz, it was 10th in Scotland vs 10th in Switzerland. We got relegated the season we were in Europe.

tarapoa Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Really surprised at this result. Would have thought a big crowd at Tynie, and Hearts being a physical direct team, with a couple of decent silky young players would have been enough to overwhelm Maltese opposition. Birkirkara's results vs West Ham and the Herzegovina club suggested they had something about them - but ultimately another horrendous blot of Scottish football's copybook, and to be fair to Hearts, normally when they've qualified in the past they've taken care of the ties they should win easier than most.

Tony Wonder Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Having a big crowd is only a bonus if it's not filled with insufferable whingeing arseholes. Every misplaced pass after the 20 minute mark was hounded. Conor Sammon got motm, which admittedly was a terrible choice, only to be booed by a sizeable chunk of the support. What on earth does singling out one guy do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 9 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: Shocker of a result. Birkirkara are clearly a capable team but they should not be eliminating a Scottish club by beating them 2-1 away from home. If there is any consolation for the wider Scottish football fan fraternity, then at least Hearts now have their "Annus Horribilis" to rank alongside the rest of us. Aberdeen had the defeats to Bohemians Dublin and Skonto Riga, and the thrashing off Sigma Olomouc. Hibs had he defeat to Kaunas (admittedly in the Intertoto), and the thrashing off Malma. Motherwell had the defeat to St Jarnan. St Johnstone had the loss to those Armenians last season. There have been various OF humiliations over the years. I can't readily think of a shocker down at Kilmarnock but these must have been one (did they not once lose to a Northern Irish club?). Dundee got humped by some lot from Serbia. Dundee United had the defeat to MyPa 47. Dunfermline got embarrassed by Hafnafjorur. St Mirren must be about the only Scottish club to have played more than a couple of times and not suffered an ignominy. Coleraine knocked them out of the ICFC - that's going back a bit!
