  1. We are lucky to come out of that with anything there, honestly can't believe how poor we were considering the line-up we had. Ikpeazu can't jump so there's obviously no point in playing long balls, even less so when we then had Washington up front by himself. Comedy stuff at the back between Berra and Zlamal in the last 15 minutes too. Feel bad that Loic Damour has walked in to the club at this time as it's a horrific atmosphere to be walking in to. Wouldn't be surprised if Levein blamed that on the pitch that was only 'slightly discoloured'.
  2. Disappointingly mellow about the first game of the season, normally one of the highlights of the season after being away for so long. If we start with Naismith and preferably Washington alongside Uche then I think we could win confortably, anything else and we'll struggle as we did against Aberdeen for the majority of the game and East Fife. Hearts 3-1 Ross County. Would be nice to have a few goals for those that have paid the BARGAIN price of £29.
  3. I'm not sure whether to be annoyed at our game plan for the first 60 minutes, delighted that we managed to get back in the the match or gutted that we ended up losing it. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if we had kept 11 men on the park but on the whole it was probably a fair result. I'm not wanting to sound too anti Craig Levein here but the fact it takes one player to come on to change a whole game is mad, worrying to know that the first 60 minutes is what we can expext when Naismith is off injured. Gutted with the nature of the result and feel sorry for Hickey, no excuse for the needless 2nd challenge but it's the sort of thing you get away with when you're only 16. Genuinely not sure why either Hearts or Aberdee fans are climbing over each other to say which team is dirtier, today was a glorious game of Scottish football coupled with a gloriously shite referee. Edit: Honourable mentions to the scenes when we scored our 2nd and Aberdeen scored their 3rd. Probably the loudest away support we've had in a while.
  4. I'm feeling a bit more confident about this now. Aberdeen 2 - 0 Hearts.
  5. Michael Smith is one of the few excellent signings that Levein has made, rarely a 10/10 but even rarer does he actually have a poor game. Surprised there are Hearts fans that don't actually rate him. I blow hot and cold with Sean Clare but my overriding opinion is that he is a lazy b*****d that thinks he is above playing at this level, no doubt there's a player in there but he's a passenger for most games with little impact. In my opinion...of course!
  6. Thought we were going to stroll it after the first 20 minutes but after that we really struggled until the last 5 minutes which by then we'd begun to panic and started fluffing the chances. The East Fife goal was well worked, thought it should have been played through earlier but it was a good bit of play, goal was deserved for digging in. Less said the better about our performance, the sooner Craig Levein, and probably by association Ann Budge, leave the club the better. Probably the first time the 'we're in the wrong hands' chant has been so vocal. It would be shite if East Fife were to miss out on the next round given their performance in the group stage, mon the Dundee tomorrow.
  7. Is there an unwritten rule between broadcasters and the media that they can't call out this fucking bile live? Shameful.
  8. Last night was just about as grim as I imagined it would be. The only positive was the total apathy in the Hearts support that lead to a few decent chants. I honestly can't quite get my head round Levein's negative tactics in a game where we have absolutely nothing to lose, would genuinely have rather lost that game by 3 or 4 goals if we'd just played some youth players and had a go at Aberdeen. No one stood out there, Burns took the goal well and McLean did as well as expected being played as a lone striker but apart from that it was the usual Levein shitfest. I thought Aberdeen were poor in a game they could have hit 4 or 5 past us if they'd went for it, once they hit us down the wings and crossed the ball in the box we looked hopeless, second goal was a good example of that. I can't envisage any scenario that sees Levein staying at the end of the season and I think he knows it but is playing the wind-up-merchant act by refusing the admit it. There needs to be a total change in direction at the club starting at the top, we're so so soft. Edit: I've just realised the last two posts I've made have been about teams putting '4 or 5 past us', looking forward to the same again over the next couple of weeks.
  9. This is Hibs' best chance to stick 4 or 5 past us since our administration season so this will absolutely be a shithoused Hearts victory.
  10. Cheers, son's having nightmares about Omeonga tonight. Nice one.
  11. Some effort by Aberdeen to shite the bed there. We were brutal in the first half but came on to a game in the second, Uche is unplayable at times, that second goal was fantastic.
  12. It'll need to be either 12pm or 5.30pm to avoid clashing with the 3pm media blackout if it's on the saturday. Even 12.30 would run the danger of running in to 3pm if there was extra time and penalties. Might be talking shite here but it's what I'm counting so we can get a day session of drinking before a national cup semi final.
  13. Anyone singing about a football forum at a football match should be banned for life on account of being a fucking weirdo.
  14. Yep, that game against Kilmarnock was the prime example of the influence that Berra and Naismith have on the team. Even before Kilmarnock scored it looked like the heads were dropping as things weren't coming off as we'd liked. If we're within touching distance of Celtic come New Year then I still reckon we could have a go at keeping up with them and definitely have second in the bag. Berra coming back earlier is a bonus towards that.
  15. That was really disappointing, thought that our earlier result against Celtic would give us confidence to go for it but the team selection was wrong and we sat off far too much. Celtic were the better team for the whole match, we were probably fortunate that they weren't at the races in the first half either but as soon as they found their form it was too easy for them. We really struggled to make use of the wide pitch whereas Celtic stretched us for the whole game, can't get my head round the fact Celtic created so much space for themselves yet we insisted on pushing everyone narrow and through the middle. It did seem like the collective support felt the worse as soon as Naismith went off which was a shame though I'm not sure how much of a difference he would have made. No one really made pass marks for me in the Hearts team, Dikamona and Dunne did okay at the back but apart from that everyone shat themselves in the big game, understandable as most players won't have experienced that before. Still not convinced Celtic are up to much going by the first half performance and if we'd went for it and grabbed a goal it might have been different but that's all if's and but's, the best team won. Winning the treble is just greedy anyway.
  16. Stupid question, the match day experience is always superior after a couple of beers. I'll go from predicting a modest 1-0 win to us right now but that'll be a good 4-0 or 5-0 prediction after a few pints of liquid confidence.
  17. Just seen this and thought it was a joke. Absolutely no chance of getting back to Dundee from Mount Florida after the match - the SPFL can go and f**k themselves. Can we just have dedicated Aberdeen/Hearts pubs outside Hampden? Don't mind the idea of an all day sesh with the Dons fans after they pap Rangers out.
  18. That's the first managerial casualty caused by the unbeatables. Taking no prisoners on the way to the treble.
  19. We're currently 200/1 to win the league on Betfair.
  20. I'm into the year 2032 and my Partick Thistle team has wrapped up 6 consecutive titles and only lost out on about 3 cups in the same time too - seriously enjoying it still, there's something incredibly satisfying about picking up Brazilian regens for nothing, watching them wipe the floor with the rest of the teams in the league and then selling them off for big money. Still can't make a dent in the Champions League as the English teams consistently fill at least 3 of the semi final spots, Newcastle and Stoke chucking around £100m transfers all over the place. Currently playing at Hampden (64,000 capacity) while waiting for 'Alan Archibald Park' to be upgraded to 39,000 seats. Some serious money in the SPFL now - you get £8m for reaching the Scottish cup semis in gate receipts and then another £9m for reaching the final. Will be gutted when I give this save up for FM2019.
  21. It actually wouldn't surprise me if these have all been influenced heavily by MacPhee, definitely seem like 'Moneyball' type signings. Would be interesting to see if they've pulled up some statistics to say Partick lost the fewest games with Edwards in the team or similar.
