***Official Heart of Midlothian vs FC Zurich Match Thread - live on BBC Scotland ***

[tartofmidlothian]

The biggest match of our season is four days away and counting. All-out attack or play it safe at the start?

[sniffer]

Is it on BBC?

[Fire_At_The_Disco]

I’m buzzing, hope our fans have Tynecastle bouncing. 3-0 

[ri Alban]

We'll pump them.

[Rocky jamboa]

4231 and go for it from the off. A sold out, noisy Tynecastle to push the boys on! 

 

I think we can do it. I didn't think they looked anything special in the away leg.

 

Can't wait!

[1971fozzy]

Seriously can’t wait for this one. Get into them fast and hopefully score early. Get the stadium bouncing. Fantastic euro nights

Or somewhere in the very large middle perhaps?

4-2-3-1 with the Boyce-McKay-Forrest-Shankland diamond drill bit up front. Play our passing game, keep possession but put it to good use.

 

Smith - Kingsley - Rowles - Cochrane across the back.

 

4-1 Hearts.

 

[Boyces beard]

Get at them from the 1st minute which i'm sure we will.

Lets destroy them from the start   🇱🇻🤞🇱🇻

[ShedBoy]

Oh what a night ……………….

[Cory McNamara]

We need an early goal. One of the biggest games in the season. Hope for the best. Clean sheet, no penalties.

[Scott980612]

Let’s get Tynecastle absolutely bouncing from

the word go. 
 
Hearts to progress ( possibly after ET or pens)

On BBC? 

[1953]

At them from the off, keep at them and don't let them settle.

[Baxfee]

Yes on bbc 

[1971fozzy]

It’s not on BBC as far as I can see. 
only radio

Yes.

[Negan]

Buzzing for this. I had some bad news during the away trip so put a bit of a downer on it so hopefully this can cheer me up! 2-0 hearts!

[Thomson1874]

Gordon

Smith Rowles Kingsley Cochrane 

Devlin Grant

Forrest Boyce McKay

Shankland 

 

Still have the likes of Haring, Ginnelly and GMS who can make an impact from the bench.

 

Glad the game today is out the way, buzzing for Thursday!

Cheers 🥳

[chuck berrys hairline]

They will be leaving Gorgie humming the sound of music out their triangular farters after we pump them 💢👊 2-0 Hearts Shanks and Rowles with the goals 👏💪

[King prawn]

My first game since the cup semi in 2019 - come on Hearts  

[Arthur Morgan]

We can do these, c'mon! 

[Sooks]

Let’s do this potentially a two million pound plus game 

 

 

[Tenor]

Can’t wait to get into the stadium. It’ll be absolutely bouncing!

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

Bring Kevin James out of retirement and go full Stuttgart. Their defence is shite.

 

Note the first sentence is a metaphor, not literal.

[22games nro]

Id play without a keeper and get Gordon up front alongside shankland

Biggest match of the last decade I would say, the rewards for getting through are massive to our club. Let's not leave a thing out there.

[cookieboy]

they are getting pumped . 5/0 Heart of Midlothian 

[Debut 4]

As long as we win the singing….

[Rocky jamboa]

Does Halkett have a chance of making this one?

There's nothing on the schedule up here yet.

Apparently it was confirmed on Sportsound today.

Zurich won 4:0 away from home today. After a poor start to the season they're getting better Won't be easy.

Ah perfect. Thanks 😊 

[Tom Hardy’s Dug]

Going all out attack from the off plays into their hands. 
 

Anyone that can read anything about football will see that counter attack suits them fine.

 

They are in an ideal position as their strength is pace on the counter.

Really?

 

Pretending that Zurich aren’t a decent team is really mental.

[SwindonJambo]

A lot of extra money riding on this one. We’ll have to be at our very best to beat the Champions of Switzerland. I thought the 2-1 scoreline away from home flattered us tbh. Our goal came from a very stupidly conceded penalty and other chances were scarce. Score first and we have a chance. If they do then we’re up against it.  Hopefully Tynie will be at its rocking and intimidating best.

Where did I say this?

 

Merely stating it was a cup game against a third division team.

[Kiwidoug]

3-0.

[Baxfee]

Kingsley and his free kicks - hopefully Zurich know nothing about these! 

[Brick Tamland]

I think it will be difficult for the team not to attack because of the atmosphere. Tynecastle under the lights in a European tie will be absolutely jumping, the noise will drive them on and hopefully will put Zurich on the back foot, especially if we get an early goal.

 

Very hopeful of a victory and a memorable night for us all.

 

An early goal and we will win it 3-0
