You see it all the time with EPL clubs whether it be their League cup matches, or 'lower level' Euro ties. Must drive paying fans bonkers! I think it might depend on the significance of the game. I remember back in 90s. Rangers had already won the league and played a reserve team against Partick Thistle. Thistle we’re still in a relegation battle and won the game 3-0. The result went a long way in ensuring they stayed up. Rangers were later fined for deliberately fielding an under strength team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sausage Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Robbie would be crazy to risk key players on Thursday. I’d go: Clark M Smith Sibbick Neilson Halliday CSmith Pollock McGill Ginnelly Henderson Humphys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewiseone Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Brings the curtain down on a fantastic European adventure. This is going to be a difficult game for us. Im thinking the best way forward would be for us to " park the bus early doors". If we can contain them for the first 20 mins it gives us the opportunity to bed in and nick a goal. Theyve got some top top players and with our present injury crisis things look bleak. Never been to Istanbul but enjoyed time in Athens and some of the country's islands, Skiathos being my favourite ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just depends on whether or not Neilson thinks we can win and therefore grab another €500k. I suspect he'll think we can win. But does he think we need Gordon, McKay, Ginnelly, Shankland, Forrest, Halliday? I think we shouldn't have Gordon, McKay and Shankland even travel.

Robbie has already said he will play the strongest team available to him. You have to show some respect to the 900 or so who are travelling over there as well, to just lie down and get a doing is pretty disrespectful to them. It might be good to get some minutes into players, potentially Halkett getting a run out second half would be a massive boost ahead of Motherwell if he's ready. To get him and Rowles back for next week will give us a massive lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the problem though. We’ve named a squad of 25 . 3 are goalkeepers and 8-10 of the outfield players are injured. Aside from using a bunch of kids from the B list, our team more or less picks itself. Apparently 3 players who played yesterday were also injured and would not have played had we had more to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Police Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I think Gordon will play to equal the record, but I'd go with: Clark M Smith Sibbick Neilson Cochrane Forrest C Smith Grant Kio Ginnelly Henderson Going to get pumped regardless.

Masonic Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 the Motherwell game should not take priority over this game we are so early in the season there is no need whatsoever to lay down in Turkey so much time is left of the season and the breaks almost apon us, at xmas time most of the squad will be off the injury table as well and we will still take 3rd regardless of the Motherwell result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidigits Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 With the teams locked at 1-1 Robbie Neilson does it again, sprints down the pitch and scores Hearts' second. Unfortunately the ref has already blown for full time however,because of that,Robbie escapes a red card.. And so endeth our European campaign, with Robbie accepting the acclaim for the jubilant travelling support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This game is just a massive inconvenience. No further progression in Europe, unlikely to garner any prize money, risk of injury and players could do with the rest. Its just kind of in the way.. I'd be tempted to chuck it as well. Only thing is that you do that and there is a high risk of being humiliated. Maybe just set up hyper, hyper defensively, 2 banks of 5 and see if we can just grind out a draw by playing proper anti football - The sort of way of playing that makes a passionate European cry , It would be a good confidence booster if we could keep a clean sheet against such good opposition. Even if that is by playing 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It will be interesting to see what kind of team the turks put out, would imagine they will probably not risk their best 11 either as they are in a title race and probably feel that they can beat us with their reserves comfortably.

Sooks Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Last match of the campaign , no real pressure , we can play with a fair amount of freedom . Only danger would be a morale sapping heavy defeat , but I think we will have more about us than that this time . They are a top side though so there is no guarantee they will not score a few against our make shift defence . Games like this against players like those can teach our own players so much , and they can then take that experience in to matches against players of a far lesser quality and find that they are better players than they thought they were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Just noticed that this is on at 3:30pm which means I can't watch it due to work 😕 It will be really difficult to get any sort of result but a draw would be an incredible outcome if we could manage it. Taking at least a point from a team ranked above us would give us a boost and you'd have to call it a respectable "first" European campaign if that happened.
