Undersoil heating!?

Knew it was going to be cold..

Frustrating.

Because we can’t afford to turn it on, and as we aren’t required to, why would we?

Such sad news, he will be greatly missed.

I wonder what, if any, market research they have done on this?  I would think that more than half the people who would pay to watch at £10 will not watch at £18.50.  But no doubt a percentage or a fixed sum from each viewer will go to other stakeholders, so maybe Hearts will make more money than if they charged less.  Not good for the fans though.

They’ve got a zillion season ticket holders, and you can subscribe to hearts tv for £60 a year (not sure if you get live streaming in the UK atm for that though) so PPV will generally be away fans, so they get screwed.

What are Hearts using then? Think they've only had TV games so far.

I think they already had some kind of setup in place. I’m pretty sure you could stream games on Hearts TV in previous seasons if you lived overseas.

I assume the captain will be Doran

Is he not remaining VC, with Welsh as captain?

He was Sandy and also missed a great chance in the first half with a **** poor attempt when trying to lob the keeper. 
 

I think we will bring a striker in and ive heard rumours of Simon Murray being linked with us. He’s a free agent and I’d take him in a heartbeat 

If we can get Simon Murray, that would be a good bit of business. Proven at this level.

Blimey...I thought Ayr was an absolute dump 

I’m guessing it’s an age thing, but I love that sort of ground.

Some issues.

Cup games aren't normally included in ST price.

If we are able to stream something, why not offer a package to watch the league cup games online? A bit of money is better than nothing at the moment.

There is a hole in our stats but only in the early years ... Before today Aaron Doran has made 273 appearances and scored, 46 goals

Looks like Wikipedia was wrong. Who’d a thunk

Out of curiosity how many games has Mr Doran played for us?

According to Wikipedia - 229, but I’m not sure if that’s competitive games only, or when it’s up to. 

Those are reasonable comments by Robbo. 
 

Watching on TV, I thought both Utd goals were avoidable, for the first in particular the Utd player had way too much space and time. 
 

I agree that we seemed to react to things rather than anticipate, whereas Utd reacted quickly at throw ins in particular. 
 

Thought White’s goal was well taken, but if he’d squared to Keatings (I think) when Connolly got kicked in the head, that would have been a better option. 
 

Carson’s booking was silly, and meant he had to keep his aggression in check after that. 
 

All in all, it wasn’t a bad performance - Shankland was the big difference. If we play like that, then we are more than capable of finishing second

and your point is exactly??

You and a few other  people seem to think it was given against us because we were playing Rangers, well Rangers have had plenty of decisions against them too.

Sheer incompetance from the ref but the panel is a different story.

I think the red card was originally given because we were playing Rangers, and said as much at the time.
 

I think that the panel have decided to back the ref. I don’t think that’s because we were playing Rangers. 
 

Yes, our refs are incompetence, but there is often a direction to that incompetence when either side of the Old Firm are involved

I’ve watched the video clip dozens of times now, while it’s difficult to believe that the referee didn’t see any contact given his position, I have no way of knowing what he did see, so I won’t take issue with that. 
 

The review panel however - there is clear contact. Keatings doesn’t do anything to increase the likelihood of contact (i.e. doesn’t appear to change his line of running). The contact is sufficient to move Keatings sideways, and the Rangers player then staggers, like someone who has clattered into a moving object. He then holds his hands up the way defenders do when they foul someone but hope to get away with it. The applause at the the red card is just taking the pish. 
 

If that’s a dive, there are going to be a lot of yellows for simulation between now and the end of the season. 
 

At best (and I use the word loosely) the panel are backing the ref, at worst it’s because of what Robbo said. Either way, it stinks!

This decision had nothing to do with Rangers 

Who were we playing when Keatings was sent off?

Weirdly, it is possible to opt out, or choose to not enforce the blackout. (There was an article in the Guardian a while ago about this, I’ll try and find a link if I can). The SFA choose to enforce it.

Scotland, England and Montenegro are the only places that still enforce it.

Pity they don’t enforce the competency of their refs.

Thats down to either UEFA or FIFA (dont recall which). Clubs can do nothing about that.

The whole game is bent as feck. The clowns running it only care about two clubs. Everyone else can GTF as far they are concerned. The standard of refereeing is pish-poor, inconsistent is the only constant. 

Doesn’t matter what age group. The huns get everything from the officials. 
 

Dive my erse.
