Hearts hand it to Rangers at muddy Hampden

I’m off to Murrayfield on Sunday to see Scotland play France in this season’s Six Nation campaign opener. It may be rugby but it’s unlikely that I’ll see any more blatant use of the hands than last night’s ‘catch’ by Barry Ferguson. He finished it well - on the turn - but he could as [...]

Aberdeen 0 - 1 Hearts
By: Graham | No Comments
It’s starting to look like Hearts are becoming a bogey team for the men from Pittodrie. After trouncing them 4-1 at Tynecastle in November, we took another three points off them yesterday. The last team to mug them on their home patch in the league was Celtic. Of course, it may be worth reminding ourselves [...]

It turned out as expected. The passion from the first encounter at Tynecastle was missing and it was hard to believe that a home tie against Dundee was the reward for a victory here. Although a glaring miss by Andrius Velicka and a soft penalty award for Motherwell were the action points that defined the [...]

One win in their last five against unbeaten in three games. Those are the sort of numbers that would make the latter team appear to be favourites for tonight’s Cup replay at Fir Park between Motherwell and Hearts. But that would make Hearts favourites and that just won’t do at all. Expecting Hearts to win [...]

The bad news, however, is that we’re selling, not buying. Michal Pospisil - seen here exaggerating the length of his contract - has left Hearts and joined big name Belgian side Sint-Truidense. I get the sense that Michal, after joining from Slovan Liberec, felt there were just not enough letters in the Hearts name. Obviously [...]

The manner of Andrius Velicka’s solitary but winning goal for Hearts in yesterday’s derby victory over Hibs was indicative of the game as a whole. This was not a classic. More than that, it was a derby match curiously lacking in passion, fire, agression, or even any downright niggle. Even the crowd seemed to fade [...]

Hearts yesterday delivered the planning permission application for the new 10,000 seater stand needed to hold visiting Rangers and Celtic fans increasing numbers of season ticket holders. So Hearts fans can now look forward to:
a big name manager
big name signings
a big name new stadium
What do I mean by that last point? Well, here is what [...]

By: Graham | No Comments
I remember a neighbour of mine - a Celtic fan, no less - expressing admiration for the skills of Roman Bednar. This was shortly before Bednar slotted home a winner in a victory over Celtic at Tynecastle. There is no doubt that Bednar is a cultured striker and, had he suffered less injury problems (a [...]
Category: HeartsWell, well: Hearts draw with ‘Well
By: Graham | 4 Comments
I felt we were on a bit of a hiding to nothing with this game: nobody in the world but Hearts fans wanted Motherwell to lose. And for most of us it was more a case of wanting to see a Hearts victory after so long than wishing any ill on the Steelmen. In the [...]
Category: HeartsIt’s all gone quiet over there - at Tynecastle

We’ve heard it all before, of course. As soon as Robbo went, the word was out that a major manager would be coming. Ranieri was mentioned. Bobby Robson came north to talk with Romanov. More Italians and then even some Germans expressed interest. We got Burley. After ten games of the season, Hearts fans were [...]
