Just heard a rumour that a new management team will be announced at Tynecastle later!! The rumour also goes onto say that the new management team are from Portugal

I saw that, absolute disgrace

Recently (Barring the Thomson fiasco) was the most settled ive seen Hearts in years, finally thought they had a management team that could work with Romanov.

bizarre goings on at Tynecastle

tape

3600, pretty low i thought

packing

Have to say i was thoroughly impressed with his debut, looked very composed and has an oustanding eye for a pass. Once he familiarizes himself with the players and set up i think he'll be a very important player for us this season

No one can argue it was a very bad day at the office for Nick however one bad game does not alter the fact that he was an influential part of our team for the majoiry of last season and still can be in the future. I think once he bulks up a bit and gets a bit stronger then we will see a lot more from Nick. He was dispossed too easy on Saturday and IMO he was wasted playing out wide. The only thing missing from his game last year was goals, he has the ability just lacked the experience to know when to pull the trigger There is real competition for central midfield (which i feel is his best position) this season and i think spur a lot of players on, maybe Nick got a little complacent after a pretty sucessful season last year in terms of appearances for such a young player however i'm sure Butcher will be on hand to keep his feet on the ground and push him in the right direction. Calls for him to be sent out on loan are pretty unfair if you ask me

well said

i was going to write a long summary of my views of todays game but this sums it up exactly the way i saw it if we werent creating chances i would be a lot more worried, it just didnt click today and i put that partly down to the amount of newcomers in the team. Having said that the ref and linesmen were at fault of quite a few occasions and the ref should have at least given us one of the numerous penalty appeals we had. I think given a few weeks training together and another couple of games under their belts we have the basis of a strong team. I thought there were some very encouraging performances today, Piermayr looked strong in the tackle and read the game well. Jones looks an outstanding player, very composed on the ball and has a very good eye for a pass. Tansey looked a little quiet in the first half but came onto a game in the second half, he was very unlucky not to score near the end. Tade worked extremely hard and will cause SPL defences all sorts of problems with his strength Ross and Gillet didnt have great games however i am sure Terry will let them know in no uncertain terms that there is strong competition for both of their places and that should hopefully kick them into action i was certainly disappointed/frustrated after the game but upon reflection i think i have seen enough to conclude that we will gel sooner rather than later

Piermayr and jones start. No hogg

Tyrone Mears, from STV, is reporting on twitter that he has signed a one year deal

HT: 1-0 FT:2-1 1st ICT: Tansey 1st Opp: O'Connor Crowd: 4407

Always delighted to hear one of our players get international recognition. Even more so when its a local lad who has a great future ahead of him

Following the signing of Owain Tudur Jones, Terry is planning one more signing, a defender and by the sounds of it a deal could be done pretty soon: Butcher plans one more signing

Ha ha ha, brilliant
