[starryfish]

Considine and Stewart both big doubts after coming off injured tonight surely.

[Doncomitant]

Hope the officials are not as protective of Hearts clean sheet & unbeaten run against us as they were with Hibs.

 

Clearly over the line tonight but McLean denied them

That team would get destroyed

[waldo5]

I actually meant to put Shinnie at left-back.

 

But cheers for sharing your opinion on it with me.

[Shinniesta]

Can see this being quite a turgid and attritional affair. Hearts not the best to watch but they have improved under Potter and are defensively very sound with 5 clean sheets in a row now. Berra and Souttar are a good CH pairing and the keeper seems pretty decent. They’re on a decent unbeaten run (8) though virtually all of those games have been at home.

 

1-0.

Hearts as is in their dna and that of their boss are a hammer throwing side the boys in your midfield would get bossed from minute one.

[BWG]

Aye this isn't the game to be throwing in inexperienced midfielders. We need battle hardened cunts in there...

 

...or the closest we can get.

[waldo5]

Or we could just focus on playing lads who are actually good at fitba and want to play fitba instead of limiting ourselves by changing our style and setup in matches against notably inferior opposition?

 

How does changing our style and attitude work out against Celtic and Sevco?

 

It didn't.

 

Fuck Levein and fuck Hearts. We will beat them with fitba.

 

This is where dad backs me up and dunts his inspirational drumkit.

[maryhilldon]

It's gonna be a shitfest. 1-0 or 0-0.

[waldo5]

When isn't it a shitfest? Goes without saying.

True, apart from the game at tynecastle a couple of seasons ago when Badwillie and Mcginn ran amock in the 1st half to lead 0-3 it's been grim viewing.

Man we could barely touch them after that. Got bullied every game and it got to the point where it looked like we had no clue how to play them.

 

This Hearts team are pish but we all know what they're like. They'll kick and scrap their way to a point.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

85 mind of utter drudge then the hearts centre half will inexplicably rise and punch the ball at the back post in front of the RDS.

 

Rooney with the pen.

[dj_bollocks]

They will park the bus... We couldn't score in a brothel... Another infamous Rooney toe poke.... 1-0...

[Zeus]

1-0 (Considine)

[Dynamo]

2-0 reds. 6 ahead of the Huns come the break.

Canna agree.

 

Though you canna really tell from this clip, we put in a dominant, aggressive and fluent performance the last time they were up here.

 

[Shinniesta]

We’re unbeaten in 5 games against Hearts (3 wins and 2 draws) and they’ve only scored one goal in those 5 games. To be fair they should have beaten us at Murrayfield last time out though. Apart from the first half an hour we were garbage that day.

 

They’re a tougher proposition now under Levein and are now back to the more direct and physical style we’ve come to expect from them over the years. Berra marshalls them very well at the back. It certainly won’t be a pretty spectacle it rarely is against them. If Considine and Stewart are ruled out I’d imagine McInnes will line the team up as below. Though I wouldn’t be against putting Frank Ross in there and see how he fares against Cochrane. But I doubt McInnes will do that.

[aberdeen1970]

Shinnie needs to have a game like he did against Hibs or we'll get bullied by Hearts once again. Need a decent performance from the wide players too which I assume will be GMS and Stewart. Going to be a tough game but hopefully we have the quality to edge the game. Interesting that we have more points at this stage than last season despite only hitting the heights twice so far and rarely looking comfortable in most games.

[Betty Swallicks]

It'll be a typical hearts performance.

We're better than them at football.

Christie and Stewart (hopefully fit) will rip them apart.

A victory by 2 goals.

 

Fuck hearts!

Up The Dons!

[Poodler]

Remember thon 5-0 Down there when Jerel Ifil put in the worst performance ever seen by a dons player?

 

Was that his last game IIRC?

[Foster14]

5-0 was the game before Brown and Knox took charge. Think he played a few more games before he was punted.

 

Decent weekend, Tynecastle apart...

[muttonhumper]

Aye. Last start anyway.

 

Craig Brown came in next match.

Didnae fancy him for some reason?
