They could have made money by allocating an extra 2 stands to the visitors, like St Johnstone did, but I suppose big teams don't behave that way.Quote:

Perhaps he was cementing his legend in the pubs of Gorgie with his faithful followers.
I was sceptical but you can look at their eticket website a bit like ours, click on all the sections, and there are genuinely swathes of unsold seats.Quote:

I reckon maybe 4500 sold at the most, may sell a few more today, but pretty dire.
Beer goggles?Quote:

If this does happen it's probably fairer that the league positions at the time of cancellation applies, so the maroon balloons could be the only team to have won a league by October and be relegated by March, another first.Quote:

I read an article yesterday where it mentioned the EPLthe question was if it had to be cancelled would liverpool be crowned champions, no mention of the SPFL, obviously there is other steps to take before the leagues were cancelled including playing games behind closed doors, the conclusion was that league placing would remain, straw clutching at it's very best by our maroon chumsQuote:

Yep, I think Kev is probably making stuff up to make himself feel better but if his fantasy did come true they'll be typically shameless about how they survived and there'll be an open top bus celebration even if they had to do it in decontamination suits.Quote:

Considering the only other time the league has ever been suspended was for World War 2, any thoughts that a flu virus will cancel our league/make all results null and void are purely fanciful from their point of view. If the SPFL froze the league from today, we would be 75% of the way through the season. Assuming 4 more games each, takes us to 85% - would be a case of tough luck Hearts, cheerio.
It's all great fun having a laugh at our neighbours who were once our rivals but seriously, can the SPL honestly afford to lose a club with a 400,000 support ??
Kev’s just nit wanting to admit it might happen so any excuse is needed and looked atQuote:

Hearts boss Stendel makes players use GOGGLES and ROPE in bizarre training drills
DANIEL STENDEL has introduced GOGGLES and ROPE to training in a bid to improve his team’s defending.
The under-pressure Hearts coach ordered bewildered defenders to put on ski goggles at the Riccarton training base.
They were told the drill would help their peripheral vision — as Stendel has raised concerns about a lack of awareness in his back line.
It’s believed the former Barnsley coach provoked laughter among the squad when the goggles were produced for his idea of transforming his defence.
But he also set up another session where his back four were connected by rope to ensure they worked and moved together as a solid unit.
A quick check on Eticketing shows scores of empty seats. But not singles or even doubles. Some with rows and almost all sections empty.
9k would be generous at this rate. And they mocked us for a Friday night free to air TV game v a lower league opponent. Jambos + irony = delusion.

The fact that article has made the sun is great news for us.Quote:

I think they've got a better squad than accies and St mirren, but I'm pretty certain they're not going to play for their manager so they're toiling big time imo
I fully realise Kev the Jambo is a fictitious workmate but still enjoy the way you use him to rip the Hertz.Quote:

It also turns folk into snivelling wrecks: another thing it and Hearts have in common.
They got 1500 more than us for a game hidden away on a channel that few people bother with and only because the away end was full. Far fewer fans in the home end today than last night and we had to contend with being on a channel people actually watch.Quote:

Is there anything to stop an upcoming opponent walking past several times during a training session?Quote:

Does yesterday's Hertz result change anyone's views about the game on Tuesday night?
I think it’s made me more confident - it’s always difficult to follow up on a high like they had last night. Sore legs and on the come down...Quote:

Going to hump them. They got lucky yesterday as sevco had no forwards.
With their high line our pace will rip them apart.
What was the score in their next game after beating the Hun in the league? Got a fluke draw at St Johnstone after being pounded. Then lost to Kilmarnock and then drew with Hamilton again after getting lucky with a red for Hamilton. They are pish and a fluke result here and there doesn't change that. Rangers were rank and it was on their five a side pitch in poor conditions and Der Hun are in turmoil. All added up to being in hearts favour. Still believe we are by far the better side and will have enough to do them at ER
They had two weeks off to work on defence, while the Huns had a big match on Wednesday, So it was not that much of a surprise to me.
I fancy us to score goals against any team, but I just pray that Hanlon and Jackson are on top of their game. Need better concentration at the back than we had against Caley.
Reckon they will be full on hoofball.
Not really. Good result for them, no doubt about that. Rangers are in turmoil and, just like last time, were without their top goalscorer. Hearts are still sh¡te.Quote:

I think they'll suffer from a come down after a big result, just like we sometimes do and like they did a month ago.
