0-2 to the dandies. Not sure where the negativity comes from 

No wins in our last 12 visits there and some keystone cops defending in our last coupe of games might allow a sliver of negativity to creep in like?

Call me crazy 

Would love to be wrong and I’ll be an absolute cunt to every Jambo I ken if we win but I’m not confident at all tbh 

[Parklife]

Mind that day where McGinn and Goodwillie ran riot and we humped these cunts? 

A similar showing is coming on Sunday. Shady Mo terrorising the poor loser left back they've got & Sokler bullying their centre backs.

Nothing surer than a Shankland goal

We played 2 days before them... If we don't get a result it would be massively disappointing...

[Arthur FN Shelby]

Fancy a draw for this one 2-2.

Would be interesting to know what percentage of our away support is based in the central belt. I'd say about 70%. Probably more for midweek games. I recall us only having about 250 to 400 away fans in the 70s. Hats off to the central belt dons. 👍

Wise up 😂

I'm very wise. Out of a 2,400 away support, that equats to over 700 travelling from the city and surrounding area. That's being very generous.

They're not as bad as their league position suggests it seems their general play has picked up since Critchley came in even if they have lost their last 4 games (2 of those were in Europe & the other 2 were against the bigot brothers). They were unlucky at Ibrox and are a better team than the Hibs one we played the other night. We'll need to play well to get a result they are always well up for it against us at Tynecastle.

City = Top Reds

Surrounding Area = Teuchters / Weegies

As a top red, I disagree.

I think it's more than likely the opposite.

Think we'll likely lose on Sunday. Hoping we can sneak it but it's just not a ground we do well at we have a terrible record there just like Hearts when they go to Pittodrie. The fixture has been a virtual home banker for years now and our defending is giving me the fear at the moment.

2-1 Hearts.

This fixation on how we’ve played there in the past is bizarre.  Irrelevant!  We didn’t have Jimmy managing the team back then.

Aye true, but we said the same at St Mirren last weekend.

Shit happens. We didn’t lose because we always lose there. There is no hoodoo. We lost because we played mince.

Exactly. Some grounds are just always historically tough places for us to go regardless of who the manager is. And as I said one of the reasons I think we are likely to lose is just how poor defensively we have been in the last few games maybe some people are ignoring that.

Think you underestimate how many travel from the north east. Probably 700 on supporters busses alone

[C'monEweReds]

 Record at Tyne castle is terrible so I'm never really confident when it comes to this fixture.

BTTS with no draw is what my money will be on. We'll score but our CB's are too shaky not to let in a couple.

Next time count how many buses from our north east. Yes there will be those that travel by car like myself and train. I think we have all underestimated the support we get down there.

Yeah, record is awful and we seem to melt as soon as we concede down there. A win would be a huge result for us tbh.

I hope we've had 3 or 4 solid days of working on defending crosses and corners at Cormack Park.

[Schapenneuker]

Hearts see us (correctly) as a big game and put 20% more intensity into it than they do against Ross County or Dundee. 

The problem is, rarely do we match that intensity. 

There's part of me convinced that we'll learn from our mistakes and that we'll get right in their faces from the beginning, but there's probably a bigger part of me worried that we'll be passive, allow them too much of the ball, and turn into a bit of a shambles once they go a goal up (Shankland will score).

Not winning in the last 12 games there is all in the past. I see we have a better manager than we have had in years with a better team. 
They are a poor team that do nothing with the ball when they have it.
I see them having more possession but us catching them with speed, last night they played a poor team and still lost, their defence is wide open if you catch them on the break. 
 

If devlin is fit I’d play mitov, milne, Rubi, Malloy, Mackenzie, palaversa, shinnie, topi, McGrath, duk and devlin

Yeh, the central defence is a big issue. 
And sadly they’re the best two available. 
Even the fat hun will fancy himself against them.

Where you playing devlin?

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Quite amazing that Shankland went from:

23/24 - 31 goals in 47 games

24/25 - 1 goal in 20 games (so far)
