Nae Boyce = nae goals first half for us.

Hope I'm wrong.

I'm with sky, signed up on Premier sports website and instantly got the channel. Was well impressed with the speed. So got beers in and ready for the game. I for one would have been there tonight had it not been for kids, a smashed knee and wife working night shift meaning no childcare. 

So for £12 to still see it and the el clasico I can't complain. 

Is this £12 per month?  Are you not tied to a contract or can you opt out within 14 days.....consumer rights and all that.

So Uche is the rat then, as I suggested. 

 

Maybe, or he's just been sussed as an abysmal footballer.

[Bunny Munro]

Looking at the line up, it could also be 3-4-3 with Smith at the back.

[Nucky Thompson]

I like the look of that team. I wish I had bought a ticket now

[Snedescu]

Uche not even being on the bench is the biggest surprise for me.

[Saint Jambo]

Think those saying Clarke at right back will probably be proved right. Then potentially 3 defensively in middle of midfield. Washington and Moore on wings. Naismith up front.

 

Does give option on Smith dropping into central of defense when we lose possession but not sure that is Stendel's style and not sure we are quick enough to adjust for it to make a difference anyway.

[Madjambo21]

Guessing the goggles didn't help big Uche's first touch then 🤭

[Nucky Thompson]

Boyce coming back from illness and on the bench is sensible. Manager is spot on

[Leveins Battalion]

That team is pish 

[bradleyHMFC]

Anyone know a pub in Dundee showing the game? 

[Tom Hardy’s Dug]

So the snake that grassed was probably Uche

There was a pretty clear indication from Stendel after the Falkirk game that we wouldn't revert to that, but wouldn't totally rule it out.

must have been the source or one of them that has run to the Sun and, as Naismith said, has been “emptied”

What did Naismith say mate? Must’ve missed that. 

[1874robbo]

Couple of shitebags in the middle of the park in damour and bozanic 

worried about their midfield over powering us.

Some Hearts fans really are idiots. No evidence of this but happy to spread it around as fact. With friends like you, who needs enemies.

 

By Naismith's standards, maybe it is you who should be 'emptied'.

[alicante jambo]

Good luck to the boys. We need it tbh but we beat them before and can again. HHGH

Naismith stated it on a hearts tv interview.

[Costanza]

Team designed to be more defensively solid. Whether that will still allow us to hurt Rangers in the final third I'm not massively confident of.

Hardly a team of world beaters we're playing.

C'mon Hearts,get into these tramps *****

Exactly what I think.

[been here before]

Damour

 

 

Same feeling as when I saw Wighton named in the semi final starting line up.

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Pretty cold, blustery,  drunken peasants looking for trouble. 

 

Blood I smell it in the air

it was a hearts tv interview where he said basically that every player had bought into Stendel and anyone that was proven not to have would be emptied from the group - he used that word

[WADZ]

We cannot prioritise any Match. We need wins. Wins breed confidence a defeat today and we go into Tuesday dreading it. That team is an absoloute joke. They're missing kamberi and Morelos and Hagi is on the bench. What an opportunity shame we will probably make an erse of it. Sick of seeing these line ups. Wish Naismith would just gtf aswell tbh.

He said Uche was leaking to the press? Really? That is what the poster I replied to is claiming

[robbo1874]

Cmon Hearts. Let's start by kicking lumps out of them.

Just give it your all.

Sneaky 2-1 coming our way

Capitulation before a ball is kicked. An abysmal team selection.

Boyce aside, who isn't playing that you'd expect to be?

Hardly surprising, he's one of the worst footballers on earth.

Walker. Only player in recent weeks that has shown any sort of form

Let’s get in about them hearts!!!!

i do worry about midfield though and wouldn’t be surprised to see one of bozanic or damour subbed even before half time.

too pedestrian for me 

[Cruyff]

I have faith in Stendel, therefore I trust the team he has selected.

If we do lose, it won't be down to walker not playing.

I think we are resting players. Main focus has to be the league.

Yep, both carrying knocks so won't last 90 mins, think both will come on around the 60-70th minutes.

3-2 just not sure for who though.

Anyone get subscribed to premier today. Not working 

 

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

Wakes up, sees team, thinks "back to sleep?".

 

Feck it, feels like ages since we played a game.
