In case its an option, If you have EE as your mobile provider, some of their tariffs have bolt ons which include the BT Sport app for £5 a month. You can then also get a large screen upgrade for another £5 per month meaning you can log in on a smart tv and watch on the big screen.

Thanks for that. They do provide my broadband, so I'll see if they have anything on offer.

I was really excited about this season and the feel good factor was pretty high, but now it's depressing, I'm now dreading this game on Thursday although I wouldn't be shocked if we got some sort of result, and then played shite in the league again as the "mental fatigue 🙄" rolls back in. 

[Hannibal]

just realised the game is at 5.45pm KO on Thursday FFS

 

Need to get a flyer and pick the kids up at School to make kick off !!! 

 

 

 

[briever]

 

 

[ModJambo]

This will be a tough one and fully expect us to get beat.

 

A solid performance and avoiding a cricket score would make me happy.

 

This team are near the top of the Turkish league with a wealth of experience in their squad.

[Mikey1874]

Just for anyone who may not realise.

 

People were complaining at missing a game earlier in season that was an unexpected kick off time.

As supporters of sporting integrity and as a wonderful example of fair play - we should ask Robbie Neilson to not carry out his usual duties on Thursday.😇

[Turkishcap]

Atkinson is merley a poster boy for Joe's recruitment team. Hopeless footballer who should be nowhere near our first team.

 

Atkinson the Australian Internationalist who if not injured will probably be going to the world cup finals? That poster boy?

And his performances for us have been nothing short of dreadful. Australia must be well short of fullbacks

Just not true though. He’s looked good getting forward and adds a huge amount to attacks. Half the issue on Wednesday and Saturday is we are far too predictable. When Cochrane and Atkinson push up we are a different side.

If can avoid defeat , gives hearts something to build on in the group and that wonderful thing called “ hope”. 
but under no illusions how hard it’s going to be  

 
first half vs Zurich is what we need - and ofcourse take chances when they come

[Gorgie_Rules]

Full strength team with the backing we had against Zurich and you never know, it should be a much different line up to the past two starting 11s.

 

I suspect they won’t have much of a back with them either.

 

Theyll be a good side but never know

What I'd like to se on Thursday:

 

 

Gordon

 

Smith  Halkett  Kingsley  Cochrane 

 

Devlin  Kio  Haring 

 

Forrest McKay

 

Shankland

 

 

With Kio work permit still up in the air he's probably not going to be involved so that wold then leave a choice of Halliday, Atkinson, Mackay-Steven. Those with Grant in their teams, surely he is suspended. 

Was just scanning the thread and had this team in my head aswell!

 

I think we need to be tight in midfield and would go with this 3.  I’m not a big Haring lover but he’s got experience and a sitting job would be more suitable for him in Europe while Devlin and Kio do the work.

Fully expect to be in the pub by 6.30. Will be going to give full support to my club, but have absolutely no faith in the manager or team to get anything other than a defeat from this game.
