Hearts
Something for the Romanovs to consider

It was a full Tynecastle that watched Hearts fail once again to rise to the occasion on Saturday. Falkirk were worth their point in a grim nil-nil but, as so often this season, the home side did little more than turn up. In a week when it has become clear that the club has [...]

St. Mirren 1, Berra in line for first Scotland Cap
By: Graham | 1 Comment
Christophe Berra’s inclusion in George Burley’s first Scotland squad is a rare positive note in what has been a pretty dismal season. Saturday’s 1-1 draw away to St Mirren, coupled with Falkirk’s victory in Inverness, has made a top six place once more nothing more than a possibility and a European place a fantasy. And [...]
Category: HeartsBendnar’s sale will cover furniture costs
By: Graham | 2 Comments
It now appears that the driving force behind the likely sale of Roman Bednar this summer to West Brom is a furniture bill that lay unpaid for some time. Long enough, in fact, for the courts to become involved. Who knew cash was so tight at Tynecastle?
Perhaps something was lost in the translation when Vladimir [...]

Apparently - according to the BBC’s round-up of sports gossip - West Brom are hoping to make Roman Bednar’s loan permanent and are willing to pay £2m for him. That makes sense, of course. Bednar has been banging them in and has helped West Brom to a likely play-off place in the Championship. The pound [...]

On the back of the drubbing by Rangers at Tynecastle, a trip to Inverness would not have been the choice of many at Hearts for the game in which the team had to make some sort of redeeming statement. CT have already beaten us twice this season and under Craig Brewster have recaptured much of [...]

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 [...]
Category: HeartsHearts now relying on wind power
By: Graham | 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 [...]
Category: HeartsVelicka to fulfil ambition to play for major European team
By: Graham | 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 [...]

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 [...]
Category: HeartsCeltic 3, Hearts positively 0
By: Graham | 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 [...]
