ramrod Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Decent result but we're not that good a side at the moment tbh . Away games are going to be a big problem for us with this squad . Hopefully Robbie can get us up , which I think he will , then start building over the Summer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never played football at any decent level so maybe there is something I don’t understand. Apart from clubs with artificial pitches (which shouldn’t be allowed imo) what difference does it make, without fans, whether we’re home or away?

Should be easier without fans away from home you would have thought , but our two away games so far haven't proven that . Think our home form will see us through and that is being proven to be decent so far , even without fans in the stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term pant wetters is used to denigrate those of who aren’t prepared to put up with poor performances. The season we finished 3rd we tailed off badly towards the end of the season for the 2nd time running. The season he left us in 2nd having played 2 more games than Aberdeen wasn’t great either and his time was up, his words not mine. As for the plane and the banner that was embarrassing.

This is why it is vital to score as many as you can. The truth is even worse. We lost the title to Killie in 64/65 on goal average - pipped by the grand total of 0.04 of a goal - and then on goal difference in 85/86. It was changed from goal average to goal difference in 1971 IIRC. If it had been the other way around we'd have won the title on both occasions.😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJ Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 It was us who asked for the change to goal difference but it took till 1968/69 to take effect in Scotland. Sods law was that the first time it was used was the 1968 League Cup Sections when we finished level on points with Morton. Morton's GD was 9-6 and ours 6-4. Using goal average we were tied at 1.5 and would have had a playoff. As mentioned, we would be champions 1965 using GD and in 1986 using GA. Unfortunate is one word to use... The 1962 World Cup used GA and was very defensive so GD was brought in after that competition for World Cup and Qualifiers. Scotland, as usual, was behind the times and could have had it in by 1964/65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Apart from the fixture list, according to the Hearts website and Hearts TV we don't seem to have a game on Saturday. Hearts really need to get a bit more "live" with news, team news etc. I'd rather read the Hearts website than the Evening Hibby etc. In particular, there is NO info on the Alloa game, will there be commentary? Have we furloughed anyone involved in updating info, because it always seems very slow in daily news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 I wouldn't mind paying for the Alloa game if it's a 50/50 split. It's when all the money goes to the teams who did stabbed us in the back that I refuse. What was Alloa's stand in that anyway, and do they stream games?

Nowadays, if you want to find out what's happening, or relevant Kickback seems to be the place you need to go. Whoever edits the official Hearts site must have had a job at Pravda at one time. Very little information seems to come out of Tynecastle these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I posted a tweet about Saturday, so will mention here as well because I saw some questions related to it. I've been granted access on Saturday and we've been told there is a line for us to use, so as long as it works then there will be audio commentary on Hearts TV. This season there is the option for PPV video coverage, which the home team has first refusal on. Because Alloa have taken up this option we cannot do video ourselves, hence why it'll be audio only - regardless of whether we were able to do video or not. The challenges we've faced at away grounds this campaign have largely been because there was some sort of agreement between Championship clubs about away teams not having broadcasters on site. I don't know the details of this, but I know it's been construed in different ways by different clubs - hence why I've not been allowed to even attend a couple of matches this campaign. In terms of Saturday, obviously Alloa are doing PPV and some are taking up the option - whereas others have said to me they'll categorically not support that because of what happened earlier this year during the whole SPFL debacle. I understand people feeling that way, I may have done the same if I wasn't involved myself. Hearts do get a share of the PPV revenue (again, I don't know the exact details of that) but some have said they'll just pay into the FoH instead, rather than give Alloa any cash. Not for me to encourage anyone to do one thing or the other though. For what it's worth, having chatted briefly to the Alloa media guys pre-match last time they seemed to know their stuff and from what I've heard of their coverage they should provide decent commentary - if anyone does decide to take up the option to watch via their service.
