Heart of Midlothian v Partick Thistle - Scottish Cup quarter-final replay, 12/03/2019

Did I just hear the drums from Jumanji?

[Florentine_Pogen]

Partick insisting on having so many folk back in the box is a laughable tactic as it it's just letting Hearts fire in balls. When they get cleared there's no one to pick it up so Hearts just get possession.

Which just proves Caldwell’s tactical genius.

So you can hear the drums Fernando?

[Miguel Sanchez]

The Thistle crowd seems to be offering more tactical advice than the Thistle manager

Michael Stewart just summed it up just as I was typing that.

So far it looks as if they are attempting to do what St Mirren did at Tynecastle but they’re not as good as St Mirren

That turn from Ikpeazu there

“The Milk Turn.”

This is pretty grim stuff from thistle

[Ad Lib]

Ball retention and movement off the ball is fucking rancid.

Can we sack “doctor required in inflator room” yet?

[killie_lad]

It could be fucking 0-0 and I couldn't see the jags coming back into it

[Newbornbairn]

Is Caldwell going to blame the ref again?

They're just so deep. It's mental, especially since it's inviting so many balls in to the box which Hearts are more than happy with given they have some big lads up top. Hearts should just fire Berra up top to try and win headers as he's certainly not needed at the back.

[StoneThrowAway]

Caldwell is genius tho, using Levines 6-4-0 from the Scotland days against him...

[Staggie_93]

Having checked the teamsheets, apparently Spittal is playing? Genuinely had no idea.

[DA Baracus]

Did you know that Conor Hazard is on loan from Celtic?

It's definitely not been mentioned a few times by McLeod.

[Unleash The Nade]

If nothing else, this game is highlighting the fact that even although Hearts have the majority of possession and Thistle are playing like a pub team , we still can’t take advantage and punish them .

 

[Coooombe]

Mental that Hearts are only 1 up against 11 traffic cones.

[Empty It]

Harkins is atrocious

[TheScarf]

Harkins was past it 10 year ago when Dundee were paying him and Leigh Griffiths about 20k a week each and they finished 56 points behind the Caley in the old first division.
