The total and utter non existence of Celtic and Rangers would be a glorious thing but while we're stuck with them they at least provide good insurance against Hearts winning anything.Quote:

Teams resorting to the Calderwood/Butcher playbook. We truly were a team ahead of our time back then. :cbQuote:

I wish nothing but misery everytime they play , I understand they can't lose every game when they play each other so i hope they kick lumps out each other
For clarification i will never ever want them to win a game in Europe
That's me , Simples
Cue Sportsound debating them joining the Premiership and lamenting the lack of competition in Scotland for the **** cheeks ! With insightful opinions from Rory “who” Loy, Derek “can’t string a sentence together” Ferguson and Tom “never visited a Scottish football club” English - with a dose of “Thommo” and Neil “Celtic fan really” McCann !
Oh, and a debate if “can Shankland play for Spurs” - gotta have Hearts content obviously 😂
Exact same mate 👍Quote:

24 teams continue into the next rounds. Hearts are 23rd. One game to go and they're at home to Petrocub (35th out of 36 teams) next Thursday. Draw might be enough to see them through.Quote:

I think we are in danger of calling this the “wee cup” and pretending we’d rather not be in it. Minimum £5m income for starters and a chance to test the side against some seriously good opposition is definitely not small meal. Of course there are two higher level competitions but experience at this lower level is not to be sniffed at.Quote:

It was more of a comment on the changes to (pretty much all) international tournaments recently which seem more designed to kick the arse out of the TV contract with interminable rounds and even different competitions (see Nations League) to qualify.Quote:

Thats not a coincidence, its been designed this way.
There is a glut of football on the TV at the moment, and while people will go "aye, its champions league tonight, I will watch X v Y" I imagine that the viewing figures for the conference league are as low as it gets.
Thats not to say that I wouldnt love Hibs to gain the £5m Hearts have got, by the way.
:agree: If you take our last attempt at getting into this league, you have to say it's more difficult to qualify than to get through to the knockout stages once you're in. It's only because the yams avoided qualification games altogether (at least in the Conference) that they're there at all. Something that afaik won't be happening next season.Quote:

Their £5m is unfortunately as good as in the bank right now.
We're not in Europe and I don't give a **** how Hearts do, does that seem fair enough?Quote:

Looking highly likely the team(s) that come up will have plastic pitches. Does that give them one season up before they're required to instal a grass pitch?Quote:
