Hopefully last few pages are better n Cannot  think of a worthy starting 11 for this 

 

[Gordons left glove]

Going to this one. Was looking forward to it when I got the tickets but now I genuinely have no motivation to go at all. Same can be said for the players.

[Jeff]

Big game so we won't win

[Jambof3tornado]

We won't get up for this and Aberdeen will run out 4-1 winners with the hearts end empty from 80 minutes.

 

Critchley budge mckinley GTF

[Masonic]

I'm gone to get pished not arsed about the result cos Celtic will hump us upside down within 20 min if we get through

[heartandsoul]

Hearts nil

[Gordons left glove]

3-0 Aberdeen 

[RoiK]

A crushing win away from home to seal a Top 6 finish would have been a good start, but nah, couldn’t be bothered.

 

A misfiring forward line. A total rookie at right back that’s defensively weak, and is incapable of contributing to the forward play (but seems to be trusted with throw-ins & free-kicks, despite being unable to take decent throw-ins & free kicks). A midfield with no energy & carrying several passengers who disappear for huge portions of any match.        

Aberdeen must be licking their lips right now. 

[rmreido]

Just hoping Critchley doesn't think the semi-final is a BIG GAME.🤔

[rocketman19]

Zero confidence for this game

[Mirror]

Win or lose NC has to go

[manaliveits105]

I've a feeling we are going to get to the final strangely enough 

[ToadKiller Dog]

It's a cup semi ,no matter who crap things are for the 90mins we give our full  loud support and see what happens we can't do anything else .

 

[escobri]

Names on the cup. Fecking c'mon 

[Boris5115]

3 zip to the sheep. 

[manaliveits105]

who do hibs play ?

[Rods]

Start with the team that started the second half today.

 

Hope that Aberdeen have an off day. 
 

 

[brawlad74]

No exactly brimming with confidence but happy to take a late 1.0 flukey win. 

[Italian Lambretta]

This is going to be a right

laugh🙄

[indianajones]

Sack Critchers tonight and we might have a chance. 

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

0-0

 

Win on pens

[Hearts1975]

Load the sub bench with plenty central defenders in case we need to nick a goal in the last 10 mins.

Absolutely this.

 

It’s slim chance versus no chance. Keeping the twat on for another week is the no chance option.

[Scott Leitch]

2-0 Hearts. 

[DG_HMFC]

I doubt we have it in us to score.

[The Tackle]

We’ll win 4-1 and go on to beat Celtic in the final (anyone want my ticket)

[bobby bombscare]

2-0 sheep. 

 

Critchley to make 2 subs at 70 mins regardless of flow of the game or how the players are performing.

[Pilmuir]

Not looking forward to it to be honest. Wasn’t confident before today’s game and feeling the same about next week. This season has been torture at times.

[Gordons left glove]

Need to play for pens

[Australis]

Are we going to get more of that gutless slop served up to us again next week.

 

So not looking forward to a game now.

Pride, skill, talent and passion in our team is a thing of the past.

 

[Korky]

Halkett to start………….up front!

 

[Seaside Dave]

We win this 2_1 Wilson scores and a thunder******* goal. Get the cup final tickets released hearts x

[chaswasjambotillend]

Critchley wins both semi and final and is now a hero have faith everyone. Donald trump told me.

[BigStein]

I’ve put all my eggs in the cup basket for weeks. Blind optimism from me with no rhyme or reason

[Jean Louis Valois]

First thing should be on absolutely no account should Forrester start. 

[Gavman81]

Must work on a team and shape with no Forrester, Spittal, Musa, Grant , Kartum starting - absolute championship levels from them all today. 

 

Ideally would like to see Beni, Devlin and Hoff in the middle and possibly look at some kind of back 3 with maybe Halkett, Kent or Kingsley in covering at RB and maybe a place for Vargas somewhere plus Elton & Wilson. 

 

Dont know how this works in reality but the diamond on that pitch with any of those players starting would fill me with pessimism before KO. 

 

 

[AC Mallin_51]

It’s literally do or die for the season. If one thing can get us through the last 5 league games it’s the thought of a cup final. I have absolutely zero confidence now though. Aberdeen have picked up at the wrong time and we’re going back to start of season Hearts

[BigStein]

Maybe time for Dhanda to get a shot? Something needs to change 

[Scott980612]

 Preduction….
 
Plenty of tinnies pre match for this one 🍺🍺🍺
 
       

[Rudi5kaceldream1ng]

1-0 aberdeen. 

 

Vargas to come on as a late sub to play in central defence and score a worldie own goal. 

 

Square pegs in round holes you say? 

 

Critchleys yer man. 

[feedthefox]

Not sure an absolute pumping against Celtic is worth it.

[Lord Montpelier]

If Kent or Halkett are fit to start they should with Steinwender moving to RB and Forrester on the bench. The lad is being overplayed and needs a break.

Win the cup and leapfrog Hibs for the European spot.

 

Next week is a fifty fifty game. Celtic are beatable as St Johnstone showed.

[PapaShango]

Can we start anyone apart from Forrester at right back? One of the worst players I’ve seen play for us in 40 years. Woefully bad he can’t even do the basics.

Overplayed and needs released.
