*** Official Brora Rangers v Heart of Midlothian Match Day Thread ***

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Only lost 3 1 at Easter Road. Best part of this trip will be the bus journey, some glorious scenery.

 

Standard get in get out, job done. 

[JackLadd]

Haven't played a game in months so whatever level this teuchter mob have is surely diminished. That of course means it goes to penalties. 😄

Hearts 11-1 Brora tonight 

 

 

FTFY

 

Not sure they'll score though

[NANOJAMBO]

I'm going for an all-out effort  (I'm actually hoping Neilson drops the usual suspects and makes wholesale changes ) from a bunch who haven't played much football.  No reason to stick with an unchanged squad - they've  showed this level of football is beneath them , putting in the minimal effort required. No point in taking players who can't be arsed all the way to Brora . Find some guys with some pride and go with them. 

So for me, big changes, a lack of cohesion and a bit of a struggle but Hearts to win well at the end. 

Hopefully it's not too windy/bumpy/soft/whatever.

If we make wholesale changes it'll be a bunch who haven't played much football against a bunch who haven't played much football. 

 

Other than coping with injuries and suspensions I don't expect big changes.

I find that idea rather depressing. 

[Ex member of the SaS]

Seriously finding it difficult to get excited about this game. As a Robbie supporter I am totally disillusioned after watching games like the last one. Too often fannying around the backs/keeper with no movement up front and very little goal mouth action. I would like to think he read the riot act and threatened ( if not actually ) dropping those who have shown they are not up for it.

Surely we have a big enough squad to say you will be dropped if you can't be bothered. Time for these imposters to show they really are international standard players.

Typical of being a Hearts supporter as KO comes around I will ( like many I suspect ) be on the edge of my seat hoping for some real action ( from us NOT them )

Purchased the ppv and 4 raffle tickets no 1932.

I’ve kept in touch with a Brora ex work colleague for many years and he was telling me that a lot of Brora guys support the reds  and the Jambos and will be on the hill watching the game with spilt loyalties. 

 

Cmon the famous  💕

 

PPV bought plus 2×raffle tickets no 1947. As per yourself, multiple raffle tickets on the one order number hence they must've sold a heck of a lot more than 1947. Also, no PPV ticket number so if you have a Brora contact then they may know more about that?

 

For anyone else reading this who intends watching, please get a PPV rather than use a dodgy stream as it helps give a wee boost to one of last season's wronged clubs and simultaneously gives a(nother) poke in the eye to those clubs who chose to vote for chaos, not to mention their subsequent ill thought out comments.

 

It takes only a few minutes and the confirmation e-mail arrived instantly.

Stewart

 

Popescu

Berra

Hallkett 

 

Kastineer

Haring

McGill

Walker

White

Imagine shitting it from a team like Brora. What a feckin place. 

 

Brora are one of the good guys and we can help them out financially but from a football perspective they are utter dross, let's be frank. 

 

Having said all that, we are gantin and they will fancy causing an upset. 

 

It won't happen, but a loss tonight would surely lead to repercussions. 

 

3-0 to the Hearts. 

Might naw manage ma tea, stomach nerves already😦

Can’t argue with any of that. 

[Cruyff]

I just hope he doesn't go with a back four. Try something attacking and smash them off the park by half time. 

[BigAlim]

So with Gordon, Smith, Naismith, Kingsley and Halliday unavailable through internationals/suspension/injury I'll go with:

 

_________________Stewart

 

______Popescu__Halkett__White

 

Kastaneer__Haring__McGill__GMS

Bench:

Berra

Irving

Walker

Frear

Boyce

and a couple laddies

Does anyone have any knowledge of the Brora stadium TV set up and whether it's worth signing up. £12 for the kind of production that Arbroath provided wouldn't be worth it.

No clue. Not expecting much but happy to support  a club who have been well & truly shafted. 

Most clubs have bought the same type of system in Scotland so it might be more of the same.

So...advice.

 

I have purchased ppv and have a link on my iPad now to watch the game.....can I view this on my smart LG tv?  I take it I can log on via my tv browser and log into this new CLEENG account I had to open to buy ppv.  I’m not the sharpest tool in the box.

it's a bit like going to the game. You never know what you're going to get till the game starts. I bought it to help support Hearts but mostly to help Brora who got well and truly shafted at the same time as we did.

[Glamorgan Jambo]

Just now, davemclaren said:

Yes. 

 

In theory yes but I tried logging into my CLEENG account via my (LG) TV browser last night and no luck.

 

If all else fails open it on your iPad and cast it via AirPlay on to the TV. LG TV's got Air Play in an update a couple of months ago.

I have to say, hearts TV seems like one of the better streams when you hear fans of other clubs moaning. I've only had one issue with it and that was the black out in the first half of the Ayr game.  I can't really fault the stream. Wether its value for money for what we are seeing is a different story.

I watched the set up video and, the guy had said to log in just before the event so it’s probably worth trying again tonight.

If you've logged on via your smart telly for previous games then yes, it should work just the same. Alternatively (as I've been doing) you can get it on your smart phone and screen mirror it onto the telly. Also, they say that multiple devices can be used so you could also simultaneously fire up a lap-top. That way you can get 3 screens of various sizes all on the go at once. That's what I've been doing for our home games. Just like being in a sports bar and with the added bonus of quality pies & beer! 🙂

I got an email with the link. Hopefully the cameras will be manually operated rather than the auto cameras that were at Arbroath. It was truly appalling and would after wonder around aimlessly.

Just a reminder that the last time we won the cup, we needed an 84th minute winner against Auchinleck Talbot in our first game.

Indeed, and Auchinleck had a last minute equaliser wrongly chalked off for offside. Very lucky to scrape past them at Tynecastle. I wonder if there was a ‘Paulo Sergio out’ thread after that one? 
 

Obviously we should win by at least a couple against Brora in the same way as Hibs and Dundee did earlier in the season. But they both struggled a bit and that was after Brora hadn’t played a match for 7 months. So plenty of signs there that they make it hard for teams, and not just a ‘Neilson team’.  Anyway, I will go for a 3-0 Hearts win but it’s not the type of game or venue where I’d expect it to be easy on the eye!

I registered and paid more than 2 hours ago and still haven't received an email. I contacted Cleeng requesting them to check and send email but still no response. When I click on the link on here I go to what appears to be the match site with a message 'Welcome back, Ally' and a countdown clock till the event starts. I've logged into Cleeng and it appears to be looking for me to pay £12 - again - and when I click on the link it takes me to the same 'Welcome back' page. Seems I'll just have to wait until the coverage is due to start befor I know if I'm getting the stream and keep my fingers crossed meantime.

We rode our luck last season at Falkirk in the cup. We seldom do things the easy way but a cup exit against Brora is unthinkable.

With respect to the recent posts above, all the confirmation email is is another route to the same log-on page so therefore not strictly necessary. Clicking back onto the original link leads to the same page with the countdown clock.
