Elixir Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A repeat of the glorious 1962 final that I'm sure we all remember Hertz winning 1-0 during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 As for the game I have no idea how we'll lineup, the backline could look like a row of shark's teeth given the injuries we have. And we'll likely have to ask Michael Smith to play yet another full 90, which given his age you'd really rather be resting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I've had to miss a few games already this season, so I quite fancy going to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup matches haven't drawn in big home crowds for at least 15 years now - for any club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League cup doubly so The apathy from the support can transfer to the players I once saw a league cup tie against Livingston where a player cared so little about the game he took a throw in from the right place instead of stealing a few yards 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but there are big crowds, and shockers. Looks like we've sold about 2000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think fans can be criticized too much for missing this game between trips to Switzerland and Florence amidst a cost of living crisis, but it'll still happen. Joe Wright to nab a hat-trick in this one, surely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Heading through to this one after work - mainly because I don't get to many away games at weekends these days and £15 a ticket is very reasonable indeed so kudos to the clubs for making that happen. I suspect we'll get beat, but I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about our season after that late turnaround on Saturday. Not sure how sales are going at our end - I suspect with us playing Hibs away on Saturday some will choose to go to that instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Reese Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Can’t make games on Wednesdays at the moment. Tough game this, with our schedule and injuries, I’ll be happy with a narrow win and no injuries or prolonged game. Could see us losing this one though. Hopefully home advantage makes a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Not a chance I'm going to this. Tynecastle Thursday and Sunday last week, shelled out for Riga and Florence, home Euro games to pay for, off to Livi away on Saturday. Need to stop spending at some point. So, feet up on the couch for me this evening. Think we'll get beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Not sure how many we will bring through - think there are 5 or 6 buses coming through anyway. Maybe 700/800 but with Hibs on Saturday i think it'll affect the crowd. Fraserburgh, Montrose, County, Rangers, Hearts and Hibs away within 6 or 7 weeks is a pricey business! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I usually want/expect us to make a good stab at the cups, and winning the diddy cup is long overdue. However in the context of our September/October/injuries last match, I won't shed a tear if we go out....... Nah on second thoughts I'd be raging!!! Hopefully we can scrape through and tackle the latter rounds with a stronger squad. Our resilience against Celtic whilst playing reserves and St J at the weekend fills me with confidence. I'd also let Stewart be "League Cup Keeper" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're struggling with injuries as it is and the schedule gets fucking nuts from here. So, it's kind of ok either way whatever happens tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hearts, you're going to have to do something about that defence. Letting Innes Cameron score?! That's a new low for any back 4! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
