Inters defence is just fantastic. They work so hard not to concede.

Think they're midfield and forwards have been comfortably bossed by Arsenal, but the defense is superb. Arsenal not created enough.

I think uefa deserve some credit for the new format. I have always preferred Europa and conference league over champions league, and still do. However, this new format has definitely made the champions league more interesting again. No longer have most of the big teams breezing through the groups. Think it will be really exciting coming into the last game when 20 or something teams still have lots to play for. The groups used to be finished by gameweek 4 for the majority of groups.

[HoboHarry]

Well perhaps Olympiakos can bend Sevco over today and give them a good rodgering. Never hurts to be hopeful I guess....

Funny, I feel the opposite. It's harder to be eliminated than qualify in this format. A lot of the games feel like friendlies for me.

I agree.

It's not just about qualifying, it's about finishing as high up the league as possible to get a better seeding in the next stage.

Goal difference is going to be very important, which is why teams are going for it even when they have the game won.

I can see why you would think that from the early games but will get very interesting from now on even goal difference could be huge.

They're in the Bundesliga 1 now, but Heidenheim are a small club from a small town (roughly half the population of Stirling) and historically were in the third tier or regional leagues.

This is only their second season in the top tier and qualifying for any Euro competition is an amazing achievement.

Playing at Tynie often catches many teams out due to tight pitch and lack of space - no coincidence Hearts home record is so much better than away from home on bigger pitches. Hilarious the crap stadium has to cover front few rows too. Tin pot.

Stewart is a really difficult listen, fawning all over Hearts at every opportunity without any objectivity such as the opposition were not playing their full strength side at the start or that as soon as the German’s made the sub in the 1st half and tweaked the formation the tide immediately started to turn.

Heidenheim were pretty poor on the ball considering the level they play at. Sound defence though and a bit of quality up front.

I haven't listened to Sportsound (is it still called that?) in years but I did look at the BBC report on last night's Hearts game, which opens with: 'Bundesliga side Heidenheim edged out Hearts at a raucous Tynecastle'.

Firstly, a 2-0 home defeat isn't really what you'd call 'edged out' is it? And secondly, the 'raucous' Hearts fans were flooding out of the ground well before the final whistle.

Back in the summer I thought Hearts would pretty much motor to third place again, but here were are approaching mid-November and they're trading places with us on a weekly basis at the foot of the league. Despite this, it strikes me that the media slant remains along the lines that this is just a temporary blip and that Hearts will soon be 'back where they belong'. With Hibs on the other hand, I think it's fair to guess that had we lost in a similar fashion last night the angle would have been 'Hibs crashed to defeat to second-tier German minnows Heidenheim.'

:agree: oh and by the way our centre of defence is shockingly bad - you will hear this if you can bear to listen on Saturday. Thats the narrative from the start of the season and it will not change despite the evidence in front of them.

It's like Stewarts "identity" nonsense he was gibbering on about a couple of seasons ago. I used to like him but he's turned in to some sort of contrarian slaver, desperate to keep his feuds with Tom English going.

who is writing these reports? Is it the same reporter every time? There's not a single hearts match report from a home European game that doesn't include words like "raucous", "electric", "cauldron" etc. And I've watched most of these games. The atmosphere is absolutely no better or worse than the vast majority of European games I watch featuring other clubs.

It really is bizarre. I'm convinced someone is doing it for a laugh or a bet now.

Apart from Craig Gordon, Shankland's about the only other Hearts player I could name, so minimal is my interest in them. Did they sell someone in the close season who assisted in a lot of his goals or did he simply hit a hot streak? I remember way back when Gordon Durie and Steve Cowan banged in a stack of goals between them one season but Cowan could barely buy a goal when Durie was sold.

When do they play a team that people have actually heard of in this competition ? :confused:


I've heard of Heidenheim, and even been at one of their games.



Though admittedly I'm probably in the minority on that one :greengrin

[JimBHibees]

A bit different one being invaded unprovoked by their former countrymen( Soviet Union) and one defending themselves from terrorists. Genuinely crazy to me people have these opinions. Yes, its horrible seeing kids being caught up in it but thats war. Especially when fighting against terrorists using their own people to hide behind. Should the Allies have stopped before Berlin, to stop civilian deaths?

The opinions that Israel are and have been for years guilty of genocide breaking any number of war conventions and international law. The comparison with the Second World War is laughable

[HarpOnHibee]

Racism and religion have no place in football whatever nationalities are involved.

You're absolutely correct of course. It does however become inevitable when laws are not applied consistently. There's going to be trouble wherever these fans go, whether the violence is incited by themselves or by others. I just feel sorry for the individuals (regardless of where they're from) who simply want to attend a game of football.

They're literally fighting terrorists whose whole existence is to try and put about the end of their country. And there is not a war in history where war conventions arent sometimes broken. Does constant rocket fire coming from Gaza into Israel civilian areas not meet your threshold for war crimes? You should maybe learn your history aswell about who started the fighting and not just over the last few years where you think there is a "genocide" going on.

Have you genuinely not been watching the news of carpet bombing hospitals schools killing thousands upon thousands of civilians. Incredible defence of the indefensible. Genuinely you need to read up on the reality of the situation. Bewildering

The 'reality' is tempered by the fact the casualty figures are released by Hamas.

The fact these attacks took place on the anniversary of the Nazi pogroms, which the Mayor of Amsterdam has likened them to, brings the Second World War very much into focus. It's deeply concerning to see such a revival of anti-Semitism under the guise of being 'pro Palestinian'.

Last season I took a couple of Jewish kids (who'd been sent to stay with relatives in Newton Mearns after October 7th) to a Spurs game. They're Celtic fans and would have preferred to go there but with Abada being pretty much forced to leave the club for being Israeli they were scared to go. A relative ended up getting them tickets for Spurs instead. Depressing stuff and I'd hope we as a club would not have treated Marciano that way.

The hospitals that are used as AK47, RPG, and grenade storage facilities? I do feel bad for the kids there. Their government whose only policy is to try and erradicate Israel, using them to protect their terrorists. Maybe if you look at other sources aside from Al Jazeera

Maybe already mentioned earlier in the thread but those were disgraceful scenes in Amsterdam last night.

Absolutely. And lots of Israeli fans didnt cover themselves in glory either., with racist chanting and flag burning. If youre going to have representatives of a genocidal regime on international soil you should have a ban on away fans. Being anti the state of Israel has nothing to do with anti semitism.

[1875Hibees]

Very bizarre. Genuinely think the vast majority of normal people in this country would be horrified by the genocide of the Palestinian people by a fascist government. The irony of this being Israel isn’t lost.

The 'official' figures are released solely by the Hamas-run health ministry, as any self-respecting news agency makes clear. Nobody's denying civilians have died but it's not hard to see why Hamas has a clear propaganda incentive to inflate those numbers, bearing in mind the massacre they carried out to spark this conflict.

You can't talk with someone defending war crimes. Dozens of war crimes. Bombing peace keepers and aid convoys. Bombing hospitals. Murdering children.


Plus, it's hardly on topic, and I pride myself in only arguing and ruining threads about football.

Football tonight…

Barnsley v Rotherham Utd .7:15 .SS+ .

Morton v Ayr Utd . 7:45 . BBC Scotland.

Watford v Oxford Utd . 8:00 SSME .


Go for .. 2-2 Barnsley game , 2-1 Ayr and 3-1 Watford.

Like I have said it is horrible seeing the kids caught up in it, but to blame Israel is crazy. Fighting some of the worst people in the world(Hamas) who are using their own people to protect themselves and their weapons stockpiles. How are you supposed to fight against that? But to see some people on here claiming im trolling and make it seem im in the minority when most of the UK support Israel is just silly.

3 in 4 people in the UK support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Hamas supports an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Israel does not support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, despite Hamas having been open to a deal to return all hostages.

You're right though. Normal people in this country certainly do know what the definition of a genocide is. Which may explain the overwhelming support for an immediate ceasefire and the use of the term 'genocide' by several of the largest human rights organizations in the world.

Didn't want to involve myself in this on the footballing section of the forum. But such ignorant spreading of disinformation can't go unchecked and is the very reason monsters like Trump are able to weasel their way into power.

Eh, you don't fight against it. They've won. It's not a fight. It's a massacre.

If someone is holding a kid hostage, you dont just shoot the kid to get to them.

Are you really saying that because some people are wanting a ceasefire that the same people think it is a genocide? 2 different opinions

Are you really going off 1 poll of not even 2,000 people? In Eurovision this year the UKs most votes went to Israel. Thats probably just as meaningful as that poll lol But I dont think either side is going to agree, and like people have said its a football forum so I will leave it there.

When you see what the manager has done for of their players, it’s why I never agree with the old ‘nobody can do anything with this squad’ line. A new manager can absolutely get more from our squad than Gray.

He would have an attitude problem if he was still here though. We seem to have a way of getting rotten attitudes out of players who would otherwise be solid signings. Players like Youan and Boyle could walk into just about any other team in this league and they would undoubtedly do a solid job for them.

I get what you are saying but Nisbet just set up a goal with an unbelievable assist and then scored with a decent finish. Meanwhile we have McKirdy running about like a headless chicken and a 34 year old with a hamstring problem as our options for rescuing the game.

He’s such a funny player Nunez, can clearly finish when he’s given an instinctive chance, much less so when he has time to think about it. But he also brings so much energy, presses constantly, tracks back and defends, harries defenders, wins the ball back, works so hard for the team, very quick, no issues running all game long.


I suspect the Liverpool players would say he creates opportunities for his teammates just by his hard work and pressing, and whilst he’s not scoring as much as they would like, he’s a net contributor to their matches and results

[Donegal Hibby]

Some good games on today … personally looking forward to the Nottingham Forrest v Newcastle United game at 2:00 .

Nuno Espírito Santo is doing a really good job there so far after two failed attempts at wolves and Spurs …

Klopp was pushed out, made it look like his own decision but you can see now the team was underperforming under him. Great decision by Liverpool, watch them push on now, won't be surprising they win the league and with city faltering every chance..

Borja Iglesias starts for Celta Vigo against Betis. Nothing strange there you might think other than he is on loan from Betis to Celta so not something you see that often.

Tbh I don’t see it like that at all ..

I think what Klopp said is very much the case in after 8 , 9 years at the club he was simply running out of energy…

when you think about the pressures and demands of being a manager of a club that size I think it’s understandable…

it also wouldn’t surprise me if his input had helped in getting his successor too..
