If there are interlopers, record the seat number and inform the club.

Absolutely. The media needs to call this type of behaviour out but of course it won't for fear of offending a big club and losing patronage from its followers. It belongs in football's stoneage. That Hearts team can match the one managed by Alex MacDonald years ago. Cynical and ruthless. Also, the behaviour of Kyziridis needs to be investigated. Rolling about in agony one minute then sprinting up the pitch the next one. If Callum Slattery had done that, his 2 games suspended ban would have been implemented.

An epic night last night. Our largest crowd for 21 years; an imaginative display by Block E; and a fantastic atmosphere. Even heard singing in the POD! More of all that next season please. Over the piece, a draw was the correct result. Hearts got in our faces and dictated the nature of the game. For our part not our best display but not bad and we displayed resilience and durability in spades. Before kick off I had decided that I wanted Hearts to win the league title but on leaving the ground, I had altered my opinion. They were cynical and targeted Just from the kick off. Very much Alex Ferguson/Matt Busby tactics "win at all costs" . Simple management from Derek McInnes just do it and don't get caught. Years ago, after several bad fouls on target player a ref like Tiny Wharton would march over threateningly to the captain of the guilty side, grab him by the throat and tell him to gather his charges around and spell out to them that no further such fouls would be tolerated. Make no mistake those fouls on Just weren't random they were orchestrated pre match, by Mr McInnes. A enthralling tense match but a bit short on quality. Our midfield allowed Hearts just too much space. Up front, I felt really sorry for TJ who had little chance of beating Hearts', defensive leviathans in the air. Oh how we miss a big striker!! SOD and Longelo were my top picks. What a goal saving clerance from SOD. I don't think its unfair to suggest that Callum Ward could have done better at their goal. Steven MacLean made a lot of minor errors but got the major ones right. Shankland's push on Welsh at their goal - very soft but I wouldn't have given it. Longelo's arm ball in the box - 100% a penalty but rightly chalked off for the push on Priestman beforehand. Kyziridis's claim? Very soft but right decision see Stephen Welsh's claim. A well earned point that helps us in our quest for 4th place. We may have to rely on Sevco though.

We may get away with a weakened defence against Celtic as they're not the biggest team in the world. With a bit of luck Fadinger may be back to add some stainless steel to the midfield.
-
Very likely. I don't know. Widespread talk on the terracings last night.
-
Very likely, we'll have to do without Welsh, McGhee and McGinn for this one. McGhee and McGinn will also miss the Hibs game.
-
To this day, I maintain it was never a foul. Langfield made a complete hash of his attempted save. He missed the blatant penalty claim in the lead up.
-
I'm not overly bothered how we pick up points tonight so long as we do. Hearts have the ability to grind out results and have enjoyed a fair bit of good luck in the process. I'll be quite happy if they have 90% possession tonight; play us off the park; are the victims of poor refereeing decisions and we beat them by a freak solitary goal. This is the business end of the season and its the result that counts.
-
Yes, a fair summing up. He was a stalwart last season and I thank him for his efforts. Hopefully a coaching role somewhere for him.
-
Andy Halliday is officially retiring from playing at the end of the season.
-
In news that will surprise no-one, Kofi Balmer will be leaving to join Bristol Rovers on a permanent deal. Good luck to the lad. His impending departure also frees up a squad place.

Message sent via app.

Thanks for replying Greg. Much obliged. I'll message you later.

I logged in today both on my phone and PC to try to change my monthly subscription level. Logging in was easy on my Samsung but much more difficult on the website. However I followed instructions about changing my monthly payment but found it a very cumbersome and clunky process. I was also advised months ago that once the app was up and running members could set their own amounts i.e. £8, £14 monthly or whatever. However when I tried to alter my amount this morning I discovered that you are still limited to specified amounts £5, £10, £20 etc. I ended up reinstating my original amount. Presumably the app is still very much work in progress.

The club is currently on the crest of a wave; attendances are well up and season ticket sales are booming. Presumably then, the club will also want to stimulate more home end ticket sales for next season. So why are these ticketing problems emerging now? Understandably it could dissuade some Well fans and potential ones from attending. I get that MFC is concerned that some Hearts fans and certainly Celtic ones might snap up home end tickets for the upcoming games. So, some safeguards will be justified. Hows about this for a suggestion. A statement be issued on social media and on the Official site that away fans will, respectfully, not be allowed to buy tickets in the home end. Our season ticket holders and PATG fans should be required to sit in their allocated seats for these 2 games. No exceptions. If any away fans are found to be occupying "home" seats then they will be ejected and those seat numbers will be recorded and the owners/purchasers contacted afterwards. I'll state the necessary caveat that the Police may not be happy with this draconian line.

As is Jordan White.
-
Aye, its poor customer service. IF the problem is down to IT issues, then the club could have put out a short and simple statement to that effect, and yes, I know it was the holiday weekend for some.
-
We have to be watertight at set pieces as our lack of physicality has cost us a few goals.
-
Interesting to read Paul McGinn's comments on last Saturday. He wasn't very complimentary about the plastic pitch and bemoaned that Falkirk's physicality up front caused our defence problems. Hopefully that'll feed into our summer recruitment.
-
I'll opt for a Sevco win. That would dent Hearts' confidence before Saturday.
-
In theory we could but thats extremely unlikely. For that to happen, Falkirk would need to win their 3 remaining games; we'd need to lose all 3 heavily; and Hibs would need to rack up large wins over us and Sevco. Its not going to happen.
-
I'm not doubting you. So, in the eyes of the SFA, intent is not relevant.
-
We are stumbling towards the finishing line, and I'm not overly bothered how we get there. It would be satisfying to do it under our own steam but I'd be equally happy if Hibs hibs it for us. That said, it would be great to get a point or three in front of our own fans.
-
I think it'll result in him missing 2 games. Good news for us.
-
I wouldn't bank on it. He seemed really fired up last Thursday and we all know how that turned out!
