Stats and percentages what would we do without them, convenient and adaptable for every argument,

Aye like you with the "game over " after 20 mins pish

So on what evidence are you suggesting these players are ready for the step up to the 1st team ? Doing well against similar and in many cases poorer opposition each week is a million miles away from playing against a premiership team every week. If they were good enough they would get their chance, the same way Cadden , Campbell and others before them did. The reality however is that the vast majority of that reserve side will never make it at the top level, so I am sure if Crags, Hammell or SR thought a player was ready and able they would get the chance, until then we need to bring players in.

There seems to be this mistaken belief that the reserve team is full of players ready to step into the 1st team at a moment's notice, but if that was the case why are we signing players and spending cash we don't have lots of. I think the reality is there is nobody in the reserves ready and /or good enough to make the step up to the 1st team, that may change but not now

Stop talking shite, Carson hardly got his gloves dirty before he went off and Gillespie only had 1 or 2 saves to make. Hearts were feckin average at best it was a 0-0 all day long until we gifted them the goal.

Bigi for me, he was outstanding all game, that ball in for mchugh's goal was a thing of beauty, and the corner at the end right into the danger area, superb. Oh and a special mention for Sammon he is feckin awful .

Yaaasssaas get in there. Hartley 3-3 ya feckin beauty

Don't think it's game over yet, we were 2-1 and comfortable then shit defending gives them 2 goals, . giving Lafferty a free header is never a good plan and the least said about the 3rd goal the better. We are still in the game, next goal is massive

Yaaaas what a ball in from bigi and header from McHugh, get in there,2-1 this mob are there for the taking.coyw

It wasn't serious foul play,it was robust and strong forward play by Bowman,

Bad news for Jamie Murphy, he is out for the season , more evidence to support the call for plastic pitches to be banned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45273618

No idea what they are called this season Dave, there seems to be a variety of terms used, colts, u20's, u23's, development league team, I just call them the reserves or 2nd team its easier.

If the rumours I heard at the Accies game are to be believed Sammon is allegedly on 4k a week at Hearts , and we are paying 1.2k of that .

Always confident and as for Sammon I have never rated him, I think he is brutal so if that means we have Johnson and Main up top, then that's a bonus.

FFS the usual suspects are getting the doom and gloom pish in early, just for once try talking up our own abilities rather than all the negative shite about how good Hearts are, any team managed by Levein is suspect irrespective of how good their current form is, they are beatable.

Would have preferred a home tie but we avoided the ugly sisters and Hearts are nothing special so it's a game we can win

St Johnstone at Fir park please,

Bigirimana for me only one who looked interested today, a mention for Tait though thought he was ok

So is the game patg or all ticket a stupid question now....what an arsehole you are

Who rattled your cage, or has it just been a bad morning so far

Is the game all ticket today or is pay at the gate available?

FFS it's a bad game 1 and the pant wetting from the usual suspects is at Tsunami levels, injuries to key players, selling defenders and starting the season away to a very good free scoring team what do people expect. So we are bottom after game 1 if it the same story in January then panic, but for now wring yer knickers out and calm down.

Theo Robinson, remember him, scored for Southend united today

Park at the gyle and get the tram into the city, much easier than driving in,

For me Hartley is the big risk, he was well off the pace at times against Clyde so he might struggle against a fitter and better Hibs side. But as I have said previously he needs game time so I think SR has no option but to play him. They said after the Clyde game that mchugh's injury was minor so he will start, but I think SR's big decisions are up top i.e which pairing of the 4 strikers to go with, for me it's Sammon +1
