  1. Morelos to get red carded by the 60 minute mark hopefully
  2. Wtf is an “intelligent looking ball”? It’s a bloody ball.
  3. Not to rain on our parade but we’re still stuck with levein as manager.
  4. I think we should be allowed to take LSD before watching the next hearts game. That was brutal on my eyes
  5. Their heads are empty drink or not. Embarrassing for our club.
  6. Better team deserved the win. My only complaint is our fans singing. Lowering the tone with sectarian songs. Turns my stomach.
  7. Have you not read this thread. In a nutshell if hearts game is in the capital that means only 2 sets of fans have to travel. If hearts game in Glasgow that means 3 sets of fans travel. The rail authorities and the police think its best to be able to control 2 sets of travelling fans than 3. Its a 1 off circumstance that affect Celtic. But is it not a bit fairer that you get to play earlier. That way your travelling fans from Ireland can get home at a reasonable time.
  8. Yes but again it’s more than just Aberdeen fans travelling. You’ll have ranges fans going to Edinburgh and hearts fans going to Glasgow. As apposed to Aberdeen fans going to Glasgow and Celtic going to Edinburgh. Less hassle for 2 sets of support to travel than 3.
  9. And rangers fans as they’ll have to travel to the capital if their game is moved.
  10. Hearts club statement I must, firstly, start by congratulating Craig, the coaching staff and the players on last night’s win over Motherwell, which takes us into the semi-finals of the Betfred Cup. A ‘good old fashioned cup tie’ was made even more special by a big crowd inside Tynecastle and I must also thank the fans for their tremendous support, which has been evident all season. The 4 clubs involved in the semi-finals met today at Hampden to discuss arrangements for the matches. We were advised that our semi-final match with Celtic will be played at 7.45pm on Sunday, October 28th at Hampden with Aberdeen facing Rangers at the same venue at 12pm. Whatever options I may have expected, I was astonished...and I was not alone in that regard...to be informed that both games would be played on the same day at Hampden. I had gone into the meeting, confident that the games would be scheduled for different venues...or if not, for different days. It was explained that it was essential to play both games at Hampden because of contractual obligations between the SPFL and Hampden and that the heavily congested fixtures meant that postponing one of the games to the following week was not feasible. We were further advised that both Police Scotland and Hampden have given their assurances to the SPFL that they will be able to manage the demands of two games in one day. We discussed this at length and I made it clear that we were far from happy with the scheduling, particularly in light of the difficulties it would cause to all traveling supporters...from all clubs. At a time when Scottish football is thriving we should be doing all we can to encourage fans to come along…not make it difficult or even impossible. I also expressed my concern, from a footballing point of view, in terms of whether the pitch would stand up to two games in one day, especially if the weather is bad. We were assured by the representative from Hampden that this would not be a problem. Still concerned, I asked whether the SPFL would explore with Hampden the possibility of releasing us from the obligation to play both games at Hampden given the very special circumstances. I was advised late this afternoon that a formal request had been made following our meeting but that no release from our contractual obligations was possible. In summary, I have made my feelings clear, on behalf of Heart of Midlothian Football Club, both in person and in writing, that we do have serious concerns that the planned schedule is not in the best interest of Scottish football, the club and certainly not the supporters. Following further conversations this evening, I do not believe the plan can/will be changed. However, we will remain in dialogue with the SPFL to try to ensure we make this occasion what it should be; a memorable day out for the supporters of all four football clubs involved in the competition.

  11. Stolen from twitter "What I propose is to put 80k+ football fans, comprised of the four largest teams in Scotland, in an area of about 2 squared miles." "We should also give half of the fans a late kick off so they can drink all day before they arrive." "Agreed, great idea."
