Hearts crucial game was against East Fife not Stenhousemuir. Ours was against Abroath. I would to see the new players developing and back the team in a crucial rather than the family picnic at Murrayfield. I put Hibs first not being overcharged for a flat friendly with nothing at stake where I have no emotional interest.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:

Clearly there is a hard core who will watch Hibs no matter what - I am one. The majority of support want to see top level games or meaningful games. The Cup knock out game against Morton I am sure will attract more than the two home section games. There are many among us who have no time for the EPL nevermind a meaningless friendly where several top players are missing. That is our choice as is those who choose to go to such games. Anyway on to Saturday for a game that really counts and here's to what we all hope will be a good season for us. GGTTH .Quote:

Agree decent turnout for what was a very watchable game.Quote:

Did you say Benfica are coming. Defo go to that. My mothers home team and my second favourite team. Do you think there will be special scarves. I can cheer the team bus in and pay over the odds. Oh I hear Harry Kane has called off already. Never mind it is still Spurs.Quote:

Evening News quoting 3000 Newcastle fans. So that would make it 77% full. But 300 likely to be a guess. So who knows or cares.Quote:
