Think Naismith has played 3 or 4 games in a row so he must be due some time off soon as well.

Looks like Berra really isn't going to make it this time but they'll still have him as "doubtful" as they've always seen it as a tactical innovation.
Hamilton will have their fingers crossed that Uche, Damour, poppadum hands, Halkett, Souttar and the rest are able to play.

Very heavy rain and strong S.W. wind forecast for this afternoon at Tynie Park.
Should show the Budge folly at its best. :greengrin
I noticed they have fixed perspex screens to the journalists desks to protect their laptops ect from the elements, it still doesn't address the issue of electrical sockets getting wet but it's a start.
Only Hearts could build a west facing main stand and position the media at the very front so they can take the full brunt of any inclement weather.
Storm Dennis should provide a few laughs today
If catflap hands is their best keeper, imagine how bad their other keepers must be. Big pressure if they change the goalie today.
It's a bit amateurish that's for sure but maybe they'll get away with it if they call the cheap perspex bits glass media curtains?
I'm guessing someone will have certified all the structure and electrics as safe but they've certainly made a pigs ear of the design.

They really are a bunch of hootenannies.
'Our castle we defend it against hamilton"
Sleepwalking to relegation and obscurity through grandiose dreams of relevance.
I was just reading this https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...erdeen-1556360
And realised why Hertz were so pleased to draw with Aberdeen. It's because the Don's once had a heroic draw with the mighty Bayern Munich. No doubt they now share a special relationship as they have both drawn with Aberdeen!
Think it was Billy Dodds that actually said something sensible i.e. they should have subbed off Naismith once the game against Celtic was gone to protect him for today's game. Sounds now like it is Boyce they should have done it with. Levein in charge of the medical side will work his magic and have him back fit pronto.
Interestingly, Cathro averaged .26 more points a game than Jurgen Flopp. He needs a big turnaround.
From 'Throw-back' -
'I am finished for the season couldn't make it today so will not be back'
Ah, the fickleness of a support spawned by the 'money years' - the 'mystery benefactor' will need bottomless pockets to sustain 'loyalty' levels .......................
Sounds like their Kosovan wing wizard with a history of unprofessional behaviour has not been acting very professionally - quelle surprise!
“This lad’s football ability remains to be seen however as a professional and someone who wears the shirt of this club he is a disgrace. To clarify, he was seen today running across the concourse at the back of the main stand coming up to 1.30pm [match day remember] have been dropped off by a mate in a yellow Ford Mustang.
Hardly ideal preparation for the biggest game the club has had seen this season. I was in the ground FFS before him. Not good enough in IMHO and why oh why was he not as a 1st team squad member with the other players bonding relaxing and talking through the day ahead. I really hope Stendal deals with this and brings him to task. I can just about put up with a sh7’#ty performance however lack of professionalism and pride in the job no way.”
Yellow wow like his spine
Mikey 1974 still thinks they’ll go on a 5/6 winning streak. What planet they living on
Anyone know where to get highlights could do with a laugh.
Why do none of the commentators or reporters ever go on about the atrocious conditions they have to work in when reporting on hearts in their best stand in the world? Today they must have got absolutely hammered with the rain in comparison to the fantastic facilities we have for the media yet nobody every says a thing.
Overheard a couple of jambos talking in the pub after the game and one of them said it was a must win, the other said "not really". I dont think they understand how much trouble they are actually in.
One of the BBC Radio Scotland commentators mentioned yesterday that his phone had stopped working due to water when they were talking about the location of the press area.
Commentating yesterday they were getting drowned out by the noise of the rain at one point and laughing about the conditions they were working in. Then made the suggestion that they hoped the Sportscene cameras would pick up pictures of one reported who had donned a bin bag in an attempt to protect himself and his equipment. I don’t think the BBC are missing the opportunity to rip in to working conditions at Tynecastle, they regularly criticise them and I have never once heard them bugging up the stand.

Did the state-of-the-art press box in the £20M include provision for brollys, or were they anther extra?
(The rain in her video there can’t surely make for a safe working environment with electrical equipment in their joke stand)

State of the art press facilities.
Here’s a solution to their problems.
Move the press facilities , directors box etc over to the east facing Wheatfield Stand. Open the temp facilities under that stand for the players changing .
That would make the glass curtained Budge structure redundant and it could then be sold to Edinburgh Council social work dept. to clear the debts.
I seem to remember it worked quite well last time. :greengrin
Unfortunately some of my family are Hearts Supporters and I was with them last night. They certainly seemed resigned to going down and certainly didn't try and defend Stendel or his tactics. Seems there may be a couple of sensible souls amongst their support after all.
They have 11 games to save themselves. Based on form in the first 27 games they at best would get 1 win and 4 draws from these remaining games. There’s obvioulsy the split and the argument that they will be playing easier teams post split but on yesterday’s performance against Hamilton that’s not a given. Interesting times ahead down Gorgie way.
Kickback is an absolute hoot. For many the penny has finally dropped that they have a dud in charge. Others are sticking up for him to save face since they have hyped him up so much. The in fighting is real and only going to get worse.
What cannot be overlooked is that Hamilton are a club used to the fight in the final round of fixtures , they regularly leave it late and seem to win the fight. Hearts are in serious trouble here , they really needed to beat Hamilton yesterday but couldn’t manage that.
Annoyingly they'll scrape out of it by a point or so. They'll get their usual lucky result along the way. Like that 'red card' for the Hamilton boy yesterday.
Obviously I hope as much as anyone else that they don't and go down!
:lolyam:
From their relegation thread:
"We've been saying plenty points to play for for months now!! Time is fast running out. Not beating our nearest rivals on our home patch when they have lots of injuries makes you wonder exactly where we will pick up points."
Yes, you read that right. Hamilton are their "nearest rivals ":greengrin
It really does feel like Hibs and Butcher. For weeks and weeks we kept saying 'we just need one win' and 'there's no way we'll go another 6,7, 8 games without a win'. Then it was the last game of the season v Killie and we still needed one win......
There seems to be no real logic to the arguments of Hibs and Hearts fans who think they will stay up. 'We are Hearts and we're big' on one side and 'they are Hearts and they are lucky' on the other. By this stage of the season the league table doesn't lie.
I think a lot of the confidence from the Hearts side came because they had big players coming back from injury and they had these 2 fixtures they would just win and all would be good again.
Now, their big players are back and it’s made no difference and they’re one game into their 2 biggest games of the season and only managed a draw. They are still scoring some goals but Naismith is due to get injured again soon.
I think if they don’t beat St Mirren on Friday even the more confident yam will start to panic.
I get that. But in most of that time they have been spending money they didn’t have so have always had an advantage on most other teams. Couldn’t spend there way out of it this time. All funds went to one striker, ignoring the shambles of the rest of the team. They are in big trouble.
They’re in big trouble.
They got lucky with the red yesterday, but unlucky with Hamilton’s first which was offside. Draws are not enough.
If they do not beat St Mirren the best they can hope for will be 11th, IMO.
We most certainly need to give them a very serious kicking on the 3rd. It may be some time before we see them again....
If St Mirren beat them that’ll be them in the playoff at best.Games are running out fast. They’ve just wasted there best chance.
We have a very poor record at Rugby Park recently, the weather today is going to be a nightmare for the players and Killie seem to be coming back onto form. I wouldn't be surprised if we lose today and drop out of the top six.
As long as we're in the top six at the split, then that's what matters. If I had to choose between that and playing Hearts for a fourth time, then it would be top six for me.
Tears and snotters on kickback. 17 points you pink tramps
I know a jambo who put a bet on them to finish top 6 after the hun win. Money well spent...
Have a look over on neverpayback, the garbage about us and Jack Ross is verging on hysteria 🤣🤣🤣
They'll need the Hubble telescope to see us shortly
“17 points now. Makes me feel utterly sick”
Hahahah good hope you spew up on yer best cardigan u fud!
A bit early for them to start crapping it

I like this one.
"Surely by now he has realised*it is not working and a new approach to Fridays game is needed"
Erm, does their Daniel know any other tactics?
No, no, no. We've seen this countless times before. I will NEVER be confident in the lead up to a derby.
I'll be expecting a win but I'll take any kind of win to be honest. If it's a pumping then that's an added bonus
‘We create loads of chances and someone is due a doing’
‘Make it so Daniel’
