2-2!!!!

Yessssss Pepper

Goal

Hearts 2 - 2 ICT

Pepper !!

BOOM!!

At half time I'd have taken that any day of the week, well done to the lads for the come back, makes a change for us to be on the correct end of a late goal.

Get in there! Great attitude from the team (2nd half that is).

Good on young Pepper getting his first goal.

That's what I'm talking aboot!

Justice done for the penalty that was never a penalty. Well done for resilience and not folding.

I will HAPPILY take a point from hearts every game we play them. Excellent point today, and by all accounts, we deserved it. So, all in all.......GREAT result!

Ya beauty! And back above the tinks.

Fuckig yaaaaaas just tore my house down. Fukig delighted.

What will we do if we have 11 on the Field

Pepper pops it in

Shinnie is our wonderman this season - get him tied up on a new deal now....

down to 10 men, penalty to Hearts after one of our defenders smiled at the ref, astonishing, we have bottle and its full of pepper, still above county

Wow, I'll take that. Fair play to the lads for not caving in when down to 10 in second half. Looking forward to seeing it on Alba now.

To celebrate this magnificent recovery I am off to eat the entire contents of my pepper shaker.

Don't let anyone see you doing it they might get the wrong idea

RiG gobbling on pepper, 18 rating that

I don't even think it would be allowed to be released. Pretty vile image that!

Great to see butcher after the match on the pitch, hugging players and big waves and interaction with our excellent away support. Great point.

just back from the game What an end to the game that was

First Half we were poor.... but i'd rather focus on the positives so here goes

G shinnie is really good going forward needs to work on defence a bit more but solid enough

Meekings needs to start next week, raven just isn't good enough

Shane either needs to be up front or on the bench he just isn't a winger

good on pepper for getting a goal on his debut

all in all enjoyed the game

Just switched on the Alba coverage forgetting it was on in time to see the red card, stupid tackle to make in a nothing area from an experienced player on a yellow card as it was. He was clearly annoyed by the ref not awarding a free-kick already and stupidly lunged in and followed through high. Even if it wasn't a straight red it was a certain yellow so he would have walked anyway and can have no complaints.

Not good enough from a player of his experience who should be, as captain, setting an example to all those around him.

A blot on what appears to be a very good performance certainly in the second half and a great point.

Need some help. Was it a penalty because Ryan did not allow Hearts to score?

Absolute clown of a ref!

And also misses Webster's kick out at Billy!

Just watched the game on Alba without knowing the result. Very nearly didn't bother with the 2nd after our first half performance!

A point is excellent under the circumstances although it was a bit of a smash & grab with us scoring twice in pretty much our only attacks of the second 45!!

My first oppurtunity to see the new guys as well. Initial reaction is that the 2 centre backs look decent enough, not sure about Draper and Raven looks poor.

Does anyone know why Butcher persists with playing Sutherland out wide? It's feckin pointless. It's harming the team and the player.

No idea what Hearts got there penalty for but the ref even it up as the one we got looked incredibly dodgy as well. A game to forget for the officials I think.

Disappointed but not surprised to see Foran getting his marching orders yet again. How many games will he miss now 2 or 3?? Total liability but he'll waltz back into the team like nothing has happened once his suspension is up

Having watched County play earlier on today I think they look the better side based on the performances. Hopefully we can improve between now and the derby though

Penalty was for King holding Sutton. If he was holding then it's a pen by the rules - but where is the consistency? If a pen was given every time a defender held a player there would 20 pens every game.

Brilliant effort to come back with 10 men from 2 goals down. I expect there are some choice words on the Hearts forum just now!
