No surprises there but it would have been interesting if Draper had been fit. Still you can't argue with consistency, lets hope the confidence is there as well - and with Hearts in their present state please let's go fer the jugular from the off.

Impressed by ESPN fer once and despite having Burley and Craig Gordon on show. Worth having a peek at the wee feature on the Shinnie brothers - the crowd looks sparse to say the very least.

High pressure start - passing it around well - Foran and Shinnie have already had half chances. Our wide players are really stretching them and they look dodgy in central defence.

Lets keep dictating but we need a goal to show fer all of this possession.

What a strike from Jones! 1-0!

Owainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !! What a goal !

Wait till you see this one - OTJ with a curling 30 harder into the top corner - and did I just love the Cantona like "celebration"

Think Callum Paterson needs a shave!

Just what was needed - Roberts as I have alluded to before looks better on the left and with Shinnie and Foran around - Shinnie is a constant danger playing right across the pitch and just behind McKay - purr feckin would be a second.

Here is a wee prediction - Barr to give away a pen or be red carded or both.

No surprises there

Not even Andre Martins? I'd forgotten all about him. It was mentioned here that he was training with us quite a few weeks ago but I don't rememeber any announcement or confirmation that he had actually signed.

Why the feck are they playing Tool so deep. Grainier gets the first yellow for mouthing as McKay goes close. A bit more end to end with Collum beginning to spoil it with too much whistling - we still look the more likely and the more they come forward the better. Clear offside missed but hearts corner wasted. Roberts wastes a good opportunity on the break.

We need to get the ball down and start the simple passing again as it has been more long stuff fer the last 10 and we are letting them back into it.

I think Graingers yellow had more to do with nearly taking Forans head off in a late challange

Butcher states that we are giving the ball away too easily - exfeckincactly - we have lost the rhythm. Bring on half time. Their shooting though is worse than Barcelona.

Like I said - mouthing- kicked Foran in the mouth.

Reminds me a bit of the second half last week - we lost control of the midfield and allowed Killie on to us. Hearts look a poorer footballing side than Killie did, but if they're allowed enough pressure they'll break through eventually. Hopefully Tel will sort it out at half time.

Nice little bit of pressure right at the end there, mind you.

Apart from the last minute - That was a dire 10-15 minutes - need regrouping and back to playing feckin fitba. Start the second as we started the first please.

And even that may not be enuff - by the way your font is the typing equivalent of a speech impediment.

Attacking the North stand and Hearts have made two changes. Ball is still being treated like a hot feckin potato. Suggest shopping Doran and Roberts and push Andy Shinnie rite up beside McKay.

Dear god - deliver us a second goal to calm these cuts down. We are simply letting them back in to the game.

Should have had it there.

How the feck didn't we get a second in that phase of play - Shinnie and OTJ should have scored. Is Raven having his best game ever though. This hearts team is as poor as I have ever seen - their shooting and crossing are dreadful - but they are still in it and we are sitting back. Roberts is totally out of the game.

When is Roberts getting hooked?

Roberts has lost the place. Big hearts call for a pen but hit Meekings on the back. We are simply letting them take control. Next goal now is crucial as they are now first to everything and they are getting the run of the ball.
