    Why on earth are they holding it there? There are plenty of other grounds in Scotland that are of a much better standard than that place.

    Better there than ER I think. Keep our own pitch good for the games that matter.

    Heading along too.

    Looking at the seats available on the hearts ticketing website. Most of the wheatfield stand is sold out.

    They play most of their home games at Paisley so good to see a home game local even if it is there.

    It is, but it's consistently rewarded with big games. It sends out all the wrong messages imo.

    United we stand here....

    The main stand's a death trap. I was in there for the Semi Final v Stjohnstone last season. Just a shocking cheap dilapidated stadium.

    Look abysmal at the back. The goal was terrible.

    Again we see players that are coached to be scared of the ball.... we honestly have no chance under the current coaching style/leadership. Henderson ends up playing as a holding mid and cummings as loan striker. I'd sack every single coach involved in the SFA and all the blazers

    Aye because that's exactly what the coaches do.

    Central defenders are woeful. The Macedonians look so much more comfortable on the ball. Their population is less than half of ours yet they seem able to produce better players.
    This is how it feels

    Thought they started well but just ran out of ideas. Totally agree about the centre halfs.

    They do at this level. All scared of losing an U21 game...and that is driven in to the players. These games do not matter. All about development. Develop them as skilful players on the ball not afraid to make mistakes then we end up with a decent top team.

    Do yourself a favour BH go and watch scottish coaches at u15 and u17 level...bar a few it is horrible to watch.

    If Jordan McGhee is our best young centre back, you have to worry about the future. Liam working hard, and Jason working on scraps just had a superb effort brilliantly saved!

    No teams are ever coached to be scared of the ball. Unless its the women's goalkeepers.

    Now you are just being a dick for the sake of it.... I've watched an u10 Tynie coach telling a kid not to pass to a centre mid as his job is just to "hit it down the line". They are stopped in their development by coaches that have no idea of the end game. That is a scottish problem. We have the same issue at Hibs...everything is horrible at youth and development. Hence why out only good players have been down south since 14!

    Scotland have a few cracking players, some playing really well.

    The shortage of decent centre-halves is frightening though.

    I don't think Cummings is playing well. Final ball is often poor but we've not really threatened.

    Ricky Sbragia's coaching and style of football has to be questioned! So slow at times, ball is touchy taps at the back. As for Jordan McGhee...... Can't even pass water!!!! If he is what we are producing and playing at this level for the national team then God help us.

    Henderson is always screaming for the ball and wanting his team mates to increase the pace. He can't do much when his team mates won't pass a simple pass to him

    I don't do any coaching so you'll know better than me.

    To me though, it doesn't look like they are scared, it looks like we're extremely naive. Poor decision making, not overly quick in what we do.

    Even Henderson is very poor So many passes going astray. If Soutar is our future CH God help us

    Everyone shoehorned into one stand, big queues & loads of folk missing first 10 mins apparently.

    I honestly don't get what the pundits are seeing in Souttar..he looks terrible to me, ropey in possession, caught out of position too often and generally wanders about like he's in a daze.

    It's not just cos he plays for Hearts, I thought the same whenever he played for Dundee Utd.
