The whole "you whurnae there to see Hibs in our last league cup group game, but went to watch Liverpool on the Sunday. You're an awful supporter" argument is absolutely tragic. Get a life.

I really enjoyed it and thought Napoli were excellent, Liverpool obviously missed their front three but I thought they put the effort in and it would have been a better spectacle if they were at full strength.
Happy that I got value for my money.
Hold on, you're blaming a match at Murrayfield (a stone's throw away from Tynecastle) for Hearts getting a bigger crowd at their game than Hibs?Quote:

Last season's games at this time of year were European fixtures, so not a great comparison. You should look at attendances for previous League Cup games in July if you want to make comparisons.Quote:

Enjoyed it. Particularly the atmosphere in the pubs pre & post match.
Only saw 5 Celtic tops as well :rolleyes:
We didn’t play similar games last year, we were in Europe and missed the LC groups?Quote:

Wonder how many will be at tomorrows game. 7/8k would be decent
What a lot of drivel lol. Chill out mate.Quote:

So did no Hearts fan go to the Liverpool game yesterday as they went to Tynecastle last week instead? And in what way was their game less crucial?Quote:

I can afford to go tomorrow night's game but I'll choose not to go as I can't be bothered to make a round trip of 50 miles to what will be a meaningless friendly. I also question the wisdom of arranging a game like this a few days before the opening league game. Our pre season should have ended last Friday imo.
However ---------- I'm really looking forward to Saturday's opening fixture. I guess my thought process makes me a part timer though.
Also saw Rangers Ayr and Thistle tops. Enjoyed the day.Quote:

Subs n/u: Darlow, Watts, Cass, Allan, Sorensen.
Saw the very brief highlights and the new guy looked good. Strong quick good on the ball. Will be a decent test for us.
Probably not, considering that Real v Eintracht was a competitive European Cup Final and not a money grabbing glamourised training session.Quote:

Tbf he does point out that it was something different. Which it was. Who knows when the European champions will next be in town.Quote:

The decision, as they say, is yours! :thumbsup:
Agree was a decent watch given it was a friendly certainly no lack of effort from both. Napoli were good and moved the ball well though Liverpool looked leggy no doubt down to recent American trip. Think Klopp little afraid of putting too many young players on earlier however when they were on was probably their best part of the game imo.Quote:
