Hearts 0, Rangers 4

By: Graham | Comments No Comments

This was a performance as poor as Tynecastle has seen from a Hearts team. Ever. Rangers played well enough to win but, in truth, they could have put their under 19s on and probably have still beaten this Hearts side.
The only explanation for the whole side playing so poorly simultaneously was that they had hatched [...]

Hearts now relying on wind power

By: Graham | Comments No Comments

Stephen Frail is reported today suggesting that games should be called off when it’s too windy. The temptation to link such a remark to the normal status of commentary emanating from Tynecastle is severe but I shall pass.
And it was passing that gave Hearts victory against Motherwell on Saturday. Both teams struggled with the conditions [...]

Velicka to fulfil ambition to play for major European team

By: Graham | Comments 1 Comment

The BBC is reporting that Hearts have accepted £1m for Velicka from Norway’s Viking Stavanger. Oh, well.
It makes sense, of course. Hearts have no trouble scoring goals at the moment, they have a glut of top quality strikers (so many, in fact, that they can afford to loan one of them to West Brom), and [...]

Hearts are virtually there

By: Graham | Comments 1 Comment

We’ve had plans to redevelop the stadium. Indeed, the model presented to the City Council as part of the planning submission is now on view at the ticket office. Whoopee.
And there’s more exciting news. Big name manager? No. Big name signings laid on for the close season? No. Large cash investment to see Hearts compete [...]

Celtic 3, Hearts positively 0

By: Graham | Comments No Comments

Strange as it may seem, this 3-0 loss to Celtic was further evidence that some sort of corner has been turned. No clean sheet, and no goals scored, but the performance was certainly better than the scoreline suggests and this was no abject Celtic Park capitulation. Andrew Driver fluffed a couple of clear chances and [...]

Hearts 2, Gretna under-21s 0

By: Graham | Comments No Comments

A third victory in a row for Hearts came at the end of a week of rumours about the team being up for sale and, believe it or not, suggestions that Vladimir Romanov interfered in team selection. Beating Gretna at all is a rarity for Hearts and scoring two goals against them rarer still. However, [...]

No new players; no new manager; no game today for Hearts

By: Graham | Comments No Comments

By doing little more than turning up at Fir Park for the Cup replay with Motherwell, Hearts have cunningly ensured themselves a rest during a period of awful weather. You’ve got to hand it to Stevie Frail for thinking outside the box.
It also gives Frail the chance to take a leisurely look at his new [...]
