Austin McCann Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Other Foot said: It’s not an easy stadium for away teams - very much a ‘cauldron’. So there’s always that in our favour. But keep in mind, we’ve also lost two of the best players on the planet: Vlahovic and Chiesa. We've lost Armand Gnanduillet and Elliott Frear so evens it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Hibs and Aberdeen bois are bealing here.We’ve had a good run over the last 10-15 years. Groningen, Munich, Athens, Madrid, Luxembourg, Lapland, Cyprus, Bosnia, Rijeka (twice), Riga (twice), San Sebastián, Lancashire…About time we let someone else have a go, enjoy it lads. Make sure you leave some coefficient points on the board for when we return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 That said I believe their fans are considered a lot more tolerant than the likes of Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.Başakşehir don't have fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can pump the Turks and Eyeties anaw. Hmm...given the risible efforts of our non-Rangers clubs so far (honorable exception to Dundee United at home to Alkmaar) Id be highly sceptical Hearts can win both of these games. They'll probably win at home and lose away. In fact they will lose all their away matches. They could sneak a draw versus the Turks at home but they'll be outclassed by the Italians in both ties. So 4 points for the Tarts is my guess. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee United and Motherwell's results are nothing to do with us, and last night wasn't a risible effort. We played well with 11 men on the pitch and should have been in front before a moment of madness ruined the game. The first leg was poor but it was a makeshift defence and we were playing a far better team than RFS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Since no Hearts fans seem interested in posting their fixtures… 8 Sep - 17:45 Hearts v İstanbul Basaksehir 15 Sep - 20:00 RFS v Hearts 6 Oct - 20:00 Hearts v Fiorentina 13 Oct - 17:45 Fiorentina v Hearts 27 Oct - 20:00 Hearts v RFS 3 Nov - 15:30 İstanbul Basaksehir v Hearts A 5.45pm kick-off for a home fixture is ridiculous.

You missed 13 Oct - 17:45 Fiorentina v Hearts. A trip I have since booked. From a competitive point of view I'd have preferred all those fixtures to be reversed so we could keep things alive longer. If we don't take 4 points in those first 2 games then we're effectively done by the middle of September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuT tHeY'vE sTaRtEd PoOrLy In ThE lEaGuE As McGowan in todays Daily Mail pointed out Hearts were not "plucky losers". There is negligible difference in TV money between the Scottish and Swiss leagues and Hearts in fact average 3000 MORE at home matches than Zurich. No it was just another dismal home and away defeat by a Scottish clib in Europe. The fact Grant got sent off for diving and ruined the tie doesn't change anything. Just part of the game. Hearts should have won this tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any valid goals chalked off or penalties not given. The basic idea of this game is to put the ball in the back of the net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
