***Official Stirling Albion v Heart of Midlothian match thread***

[August Landmesser]

Top of the table clash, title decider, first big game of the season! KO  19:30

 

The game's not on telly, but Albion are offering a streaming service for £10, or doubtless there'll be less formal ways to get a stream of it.

 

Gnando is fit again, and back in the squad, no other injury worries AFAIK.

 

2-0 JTs, Boyce & Gino

[GinRummy]

Surely Gnando will start. Needs time on the pitch I’d have thought.

 

 Good showing from Stirling against ICT so that will have got their dander up.

 

0-2 as well. Haring and Gnando with the goals. Would like to see more of C Smith, hope he plays. 

[JamboBornNBred]

3-0 Hearts....GMS (2) and 1 from Boyce

[Robbo-Jambo]

Stream bought for a tenner.

 

3-1 Hearts.

 

Boyce 2 and GMS.

Meant to be ready for tomorrow but that was the message for the last two games. 😏.

[Jamiemac]

Really looking forward to this one. 
 

They’re a decent side, who have recruited well and appear to be on their game at this early stage in the season (going by results against Cove and ICT anyway). We’ll need to be up for it. 
 

Dale Carrick plays for them now and I managed to catch up with him for a chat last month, if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the link.

I’ll say a tight 0-1 Hearts win. 

 

[rocketman19]

Straight forward 3 nil win for Hearts 

[JTJ]

I thought Nathan Flanagan was a good young player when I saw him with our youths. Plenty skill, if often brushed off the ball. He seemed to lose his way a bit but has maybe developed later on in his career. It'll be interesting to see how he plays against us.

[Kiwidoug]

3-0 also.

[A_A wehatethehibs]

6-0 win for Hearts against these jokers. Gnanduillet, 4 goals. 

[Penrices left boot]

1-1.

 

Cliffhanger of a final game awaits.

I registered with them, but I'm still waiting for the "log in" email to arrive. Did it take a while for you ?

 

ETA: scrub that, don't need the email just went straight to log in page.

If it hadn't been for injuries I'm sure Carrick would have become a top class striker.

When speed goes for a striker then his game is lost.  What other strikers have we lost due to their speed being lost from injury?

Spot on. Felt so sorry for him, he was all set to score a bucketload in the Championship and be the first good striker we'd developed in years. Instead he got injured after a couple of weeks and broke down again in his first loan game at Raith. 

 

Glad he's carved out a career, he deserves it.

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

3-0 victory

 

Haring, GMS and Ginnelly

[StirlingJambo]

Hopefully got a couple tickets for this. 2-1 Hearts. Mon the jambos 

[Morgan]

2-0 Hearts.

 

 

[One five]

3-0 for the JT’s

Not a striker, but seems to have affected Walker.

[TyphoonJambo]

Dour 1-1 draw, we win on penalties.

[gregzy2k7]

I'm sticking with the routine 2-0 win prediction, would be pretty content with that to be fair, Going for Ginelly and Mceneff to score.

Thanks for posting that interview! 
 

Comfortable Hearts win tonight. 

[Japan Jambo]

guessing it's audio only on the HeartsTV feed UK & International ?

[Ford Prentice]

Was surprised to see McGill on the right of back 3 for second half against Sunderland. Thought he was really impressive there. Would be good to see a back three of McGill, Souter and Kingsley get a run out. Souter best in the middle I think.

Yes, took me by surprise too and he looked good. I thought he was a midfielder?

[Harry Potter]

2-0 Hearts, might get the stream,

No worries, glad you enjoyed. I’m expecting a tough one tonight personally, but I hope you’re right.

Caught up with Gino yesterday, before today’s match. 
 

Got a really good vibe from him. He’s really loving it here and clearly gets how big the club is and what the fans expect. 
 

Hopefully he stays fit and can have a great season for us. 

[heartsfc_fan]

3-1 Hearts

[i8hibsh]

They are diddies, anything less than a 3 goal win is a bad night.

 

This is the attitude we need to start adopting at this club imo.

I've seen worse tbf - at least it's got something close to four sides (unlike Accies, Dumbarton, Ainslie Park etc.)

 

Is it 4G or grass? I can't really tell from that pic

It's grass or certainly used to be and it's actually a really good surface. 

 

Set up there is decent with the astro pitches behind.

2-0, comfortable victory with winning & clean sheet streak to continue into Sunday. Fancy Gnanduillet to score today if he is fit & starting.
