I confess, I must have missed the redevelopment work starting to expand the capacity of the stadium, but well done on getting this work all completed during the closed season. "He said 20,000, but the capacity of the ground is only 19,800!!!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be 18000 Hearts fans there at most. I dont really care, but its just so "hearts" to lie about everything related to size.

Genuine question, just watched the highlights. Not being a unionist myself, I'd never take one to a game. But it always amuses me how many people get in a tizzy about folk taking what is (like it or not, and I don't like it) their national flag to a game. Who fucking cares? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were watching it hoping Hearts would win, you were watching it hoping Hearts would lose and looking for any reason to criticise. It's called being a football supporter. Hearts are well in the tie, and that's all that really matters. We're not particularly great, they're a wee bit better, but with a bit of luck we can maybe knock them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do other clubs in Scotland outside the Old Firm (and Hertz) pull in 18/19k for run of the mill league fixtures these days?

Not a unionist either, but the obsession with flags from some of the tadgers on here is just as cringeworthy as anyone who may be desperate to display a union flag among the Hearts support. Nearly every single one was maroon ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I thought it was a good support last night, all things considered. I was originally IN for this trip, but then on reflection decided that it was an awful lot of money considering we have three more trips coming up. If we didn't have the safety net, I'd definitely have gone to this one and there's quite a few of my mates in the same boat. Only half of my normal travelling party of mates went to this one. And I think that's reflected in the size of the support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you're on a normal one again. I'm more than capable of watching a game of football and giving a balanced opinion of how it went. Managed copious amounts of times with Rangers last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I only listened to the game, but from what I heard we missed a bit of an opportunity, but 2 - 1 is a good result to take back to Tynecastle given the performance? Is that a fair assessment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a fair assessment? More or less. They looked a decent enough side, but we sold two pish goals when ahead and looking decent for it. Conditions were pretty dreadful, which obviously had an impact. But still in with a shot at it.

woolf Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Would’ve taken that before the game but think we should have been a bit more positive.Thursday night at Tynecastle in front of 20,000 Jambo’s will be awesome,we’ve got a real chance. Given the recent embarrassing performances in Europe from all of us (old firm exempt),hibs and Aberdeen in particular and late entries from Well & Utd,at the very least we’ve stopped the embarrassment (for the moment 🫣) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 That was a 6/10 performance against a team who apparently had their best performance of the season so far. There. For. The. Taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, just watched the highlights. As, personally, I don’t generally go to away games these people feel safe to come out of the woodwork knowing they won’t have to deal with me. Similarly if you do see any at home games it will most likely be those cheeky scamps in section N the opposite corner from me I trust this elucidates matters in a sufficient manner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some better decisions they'd have bagged a couple more. Neilson is going to overthink it. I suppose the good thing about being one behind is there's far less room for overthinking. We have to win in 90 minutes. The bad thing is we've seen plenty of examples of clubs thinking "ah, we'll do them at home" after settling for less than they might have got in the away leg. It's worked for Rangers recently, but St Johnstone and Aberdeen both fell foul of this last season. In fact, our last European tie under this manager falls into the same category and that was against a far worse team. I've got a nagging feeling we missed an opportunity last night and haven't given ourselves the best chance. As you said, they look like they might actually be better equipped to sit in and play on the break. At the moment I'd give us about a 1 in 3 chance of going through and a 1 in 3 chance of getting done by two or three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first leg a lot of our fans thought the tie was still there for the taking. As it turns, we needed a goal and were cut open on the counter. It was close to getting silly at one point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
