Sunday’s games

[Billy Whizz]

Looks like Leveins parking the bus with his starting line up

3 centre backs and 3 right backs starting

[Billy Whizz]

Terrible Hearts support at Ibrox today

[blackpoolhibs]

It has started like a pre season friendly.

[Mr White]

Terrible Hearts support at Ibrox today

Looks like the home fans are doing that walking away thing again too.

[Halmyre Hibee]

Terrible support from both I thought they don’t walk away looks like they ran away. Thank goodness I’m a Hibby.

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers well on top early doors but it's a bit like a kick about as opposed to a competitive game.

[Lendo]

Hearts have offered nowt so far. Plenty of Rangers fans dressed as seats as well

[cabbageandribs1875]

10 mins played and craig LeVains hertz side are steadfastly refusing to cross the halfway line...bizarre

[Borderhibbie76]

Hertz look brutal so far don't think we will be getting any favoursof that shower of [emoji90] today

Well done herts, that's twice you have made it over the halfway line with the ball. :top marks

[Pretty Boy]

Is there anything even duller than missionary? If there isn't someone should invent it just to descrice Hearts.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that was pure comedy from andy whopper "hertz can't seem to get their passing game going"...lol @ passing game

[Billy Whizz]

Thought Mccrorie would be suspended today, straight red last week, although it was in the Cup

[SaulGoodman]

Two pish teams. We should be taking 3 points from both.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Sounds like a pre season friendly on the radio, you can hear the players shouting and the two commentators sound like they are covering a funeral or snooker :faf:

[blackpoolhibs]

Watch the way our team especially the front 2 closed the opposition down yesterday, then compare it to that shower of ***** up front for the gimps today.

It's no wonder they cant get out their own half.

[Pretty Boy]

Good save McLaughlin, Hearts then take about 10 minutes to take a corner. It was almost like they were playing for time.

[H18 SFR]

Safe to say that Levein is determined not to do us any favours. It will be the same vs Aberdeen no doubt.

[cabbageandribs1875]

how good would it be to see ibrox getting gates of 7k again, like the days before they started defrauding HMRC

[jonty]

Hearts have had 1 shot on target in the first half. surely they must be close to breaking their own record.

[BegbieHSC]

Hearts are dug*****!

[IGRIGI]

I'm watching on a stream without commentary and you can hear every shout from the dugout.

[SuperAllyMcleod]

This game is brutal on the eyes - they are both as bad as each other.

[Hermit Crab]

This looks like it will finish 1-0 rangers.

[SaulGoodman]

I'm watching on a stream without commentary and you can hear every shout from the dugout.

I'm watching on BT and even with commentary you can hear every shout.

[J-C]

We are a peepel aren't backing their team today, loads of empty seats and Hunbox is deathly quiet.

[Coco Bryce]

Hertz are utter dug*****!!!

[cabbageandribs1875]

"typical hertz away performance, sitting in" the boring gits should get either fined by the SPFL or league placing money withheld for seriously boring performances in front of the cameras, BT and Sky should both make complaints about them

[Mr White]

Don Cowie. He's pish.

Hearts have a cheek to slag of our crowds, they have nowhere near sold out their end at Ibrox! TheRangers fans are posted missing as well.

Turning it off now. Not sure what I expected.

[Thecat23]

This game has an end of season nothing to play for feel. Which is strange considering The Rangers are still playing for second.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i wish some in the crowd would stop shouting out..i want to hear the players chatting

[Dashing Bob S]

Switched on for 5 mins and watching what was on offer made my natural antipathy to Hearts fans switch to a deep and genuine pity. Nobody should have to endure that kind of nonsense, let alone pay good money for it. Loyalty is one thing, but you really would need to be mentally ill to invest in a season ticket, or even worse, a fan 'ownership' direct debit for that brain-corroding eyesore.

[J-C]

Watching this for 15mins and just realised Cummings was playing, that's how poor these two teams are, no attack, all midfield scrappy play.

[Jonnyboy]

Yep the difference in quality compared to yesterday’s game is huge

[3pm]

Brutal game.

[Mon Dieu4]

Looking foward to seeing Liverpool next year with Robertson and Randall bombing foward from the back, give them the title now

[Pretty Boy]

Yep the difference in quality compared to yesterday’s game is huge

Celtic and ourselves are the 2 best teams in the league, Hearts and Rangers aren't close.

The quality of the respective games reflects that.

[Wilson]

Turning it off now. Not sure what I expected.

Hmm.

A reaction from Rangers to their humiliation against Celtic. A Hearts team playing with freedom having secured an unlikely top 6 place - desperate to show they can still compete with the bigger teams.

A recipe for an exciting encounter and a goal filled advert for the top end if Scottish football.

Of course we should have expected the exact opposite.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ok i've now accepted not one person at hertz wants to win this game, therefore i hope their 8 defenders stand true for the remaining game time

[Borderhibbie76]

One of the worst 45 mins of anti football I've ever seen...imagine paying to watch that every week

This has been a waste of 2 hours watching this

[Billy Whizz]

McLaughlin and Berra, masters at time wasting

[cabbageandribs1875]

how on gods great earth are the TV technicians going to produce highlights of this game :confused: is their a possibility that for the first time ever in the history of the modern game that they won't show any highlights at all and just reveal the scoreline...very slowly

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Don Cowie. He's pish.

They're all pish apart from Berra, my eyes are bleeding watching this excrement.

[Col2]

The thing is Hearts can play with freedom and have a go at a team that are on the edge and a support far from happy. Perfect scenario to set up in an attacking formation and attitude.

But ladies and gentlemen we are taking about Craig Levein, a gutless, spineless, negative, coward who is a loser as a player and a loser as a manager.

[Hibbyradge]

What a horrible first half.

Arsenal v West Ham for me now.

[Thief]

Great quote from Kris Boyd, “we know what hearts are here to do, and it’s no’ to entertain, that’s for sure.”

This ..... He has absolutely nothing to lose against a Sevco team humiliated by Celtic last weekend with a miserable dressing room and who have lost the crowd and yet it looks like he has come for a draw, which will not improve his teams standing one iota. How the F'K can any Hertz fan still back the spineless loser?

As I type Cummings scores ... you couldn't make it up :bitchy:

They can't. They've got an entirely negative mind set, carefully developed by their manager.

This from Neilson, a graduate of the Potter school of lumpen negativity:

Robbie Neilson
Former Hearts manager on BBC Sportsound


"Hearts game plan has been great – sit in, let Rangers have possession in their own half and then what will happen is that fans will start to get on their back and want them to try to force passes through, you then nick it and counter attack from there.
"So credit to Hearts for the way they’ve done it, but Rangers definitely need more quality in that final third."

If Rangers were a good side then yes you could understand why an inferior opponent might adopt such stifling tactics, but they're not. It's just the Potter way.

[3pm]

[007]

Don't say they are lying down (though maybe they are) but they are certainly not busting a gut to win.

Funnily enough before our game yesterday Hearts fans couldn't agree on whether we'd lay down so Celtic could win the league or Celtic would lay down to help us overtake Rangers and tee up the chance win the league at Parkhead v Rangers. Afterwards, they all agreed Celtic had laid down.

The Milinkovic (who?) injury in training was convenient for Levein as it gave him the excuse to go defensive. Not that he needs an excuse but having no choice in leaving whatshisname out helps reduce the number of Jambos frothing at the mouth.

Can still go up automatically next week

Raith 74pts GD +36
Ayr 73pts GD + 48
Arbroath 59pts GD +22
Alloa 59pts GD +13

Next weeks games
Raith v Alloa
Ayr v Albion Rovers
Queens Park v Arbroath

Going to be a really existing last weekend
Raith need to win the match or better Ayr’s result to get promoted
Ayr need to win, but a draw with Raith/Alloa, and an Ayr win would make them champions
Alloa need to better Arbroath result
Queens Park need to win to go into a play off, any other result would relegate them
Albion Rovers need a point to go into the play offs, but could go down automatically if Queens Park were to beat Arbroath and they lost

And who said Scottish football is boring

Remember the play off games are different at this level
Dumbarton will play 4th home and away
2nd and 3rd will play off
Winners play home and away

Another curious one for this fixture - away fans were banned in both Naples and Turin recently due to some bother and bad blood but apparently Napoli fans were finally allowed to attend this time, but could only buy tickets if they are from outwith Naples ie to deter the ultras.

That’s why Napoli only have a thousand or so in the away end tonight, whereas they would normally have sold out in hours (they regularly bring 5k+ to away games).

Hamsik has to score there, or square it for a tap in. Will that cost them..

That away corner at Juve seems pretty small. Commentator said 2000 Napoli fans. Im not sure that pen holds 2000. Celtic had fans all over the place a season or two ago.

Top game this.

Should have taken it with his right foot I thought.

This first half is worse than the game at ibrox.

Think he said 2000 Napoli fans cheered them off from the airport yesterday. Don't think they got big allocation for tonight's game.

:dunno: which game are you watching?

I think he said 2000 fans saw off the team at Naples airport.

yeah sorry youre right he did, my bad. ..... the away corner is pretty small at Juve though. Mind you earlier today I watched Cagliari v Bologna, if you can get 500 in that away area I'd be surprised. Bologna had about 100 in it. Good atmosphere again though.

[renato]

Aye, away fans are not particularly well catered for in Italy, which is part of the reason why few teams travel in significant numbers (the top 5 or so excepted, who travel in huge numbers).

[Lancs Harp]

Back to tonights action, very tight, very tense.

No they are not. He’s the view from when I was in Napoli watching Man City. Absolute hovel of a ground

0-0 half time. Suspect one goal will decide this, but I wouldn't put my mortgage on which team to back. Compelling stuff, sheer theatre.

Yep, the San Paulo is a complete dump (bouncing, though, when Napoli are playing well).

The president, De Laurentis, has been at war with the council for donkeys now as he tries to get the place massively upgraded or, preferably, the council finally gives him planning permission to relocate to a purpose built modern stadium.

It’s the same problem for pretty much most of the clubs in Serie A, though, who are trapped at their crumbling, council cash cow grounds.

jamboesque tactics from juve. Not going to be a lot in this one.

One of the few times we’ll ever see Juventus and Hearts spoken about in similar terms :greengrin

[hibsbollah]

Great save from Buffon, probably corrupt linesman gives ridiculous offside against Napoli just in case.

[renato]

What a goal, get in!!!

[Scorrie]

Oh my word Napoli score in the last minute! What a header!

[Craig_HFC]

What a header. No saving that.

[YehButNoBut]

Koulibaly just does a Sir David Gray impression to put Napoli 1 up :greengrin

[JeMeSouviens]

David Gray-esque!

[hibsbollah]

Ooo ohhhh that's tremendous!!

[Cod Boy]

Serves juventus right they played for a draw.

[hibsbollah]

I wish i'd put money on that. Napoli now unbeaten away from home for 18 months.

[MWHIBBIES]

Modern football is rubbish though.

What a ****ing moment that was. Incredible stuff. Look at what it means to that guy in the crowd.

[renato]

A win for football tonight, only one team trying to win, again.

Next up for Juve, Inter at San Siro. Tough for Napoli too, away in Florence - they’ll take thousands and thousands up there.

[Onceinawhile]

Juventus would have won that if slivka had been playing imo.

[Dashing Bob S]

Be great if Juve lost the flag. Levein football with O'grades.

Their away form is incredible. Their game is tailor made for going away, though.

Napoli will do incredibly well to keep Sarri this summer, if I was Arsenal I’d be giving him the keys to get him in, he’d be a revelation there.

[Tobias Funke]

Outstanding header. What a way to win against your closest rivals!

[adhibs]

Some header :thumbsup:

I was just saying the same thing on here couple of weeks back :agree: He's not even mentioned in the Arsenal betting for some reason.

It’s crazy. I suppose there’s so many top managers either out of work or about to be punted / looking for new challenges, that Arsenal will want a big name in. I really hope Sarri stays, though, I think they’re building something special there.

[hibsbollah]

I don't really follow them religiously but Fiorentina are my favourite serie A side. I'd be quite happy if Napoli gubbed them though.

You mean in the league? Man City beat them in the champions league home and away.

Correct, in the league.
