kyle scored one goal against top six opposition in 18 months. he is pish. hearts over the last two seasons average exactly one goal a game. which is pish. i'm not exactly shaking in my boots.

do you realise you can keep wearing it even if they bring out a new one?

what do you mean allow? this is more expensive than travelling to denmark yourself but the club aren't stopping anyone from doing that. all the club charters have been a couple of hundred quid dearer than the trip could be done independently but they've all been well subscribed as far as i can tell. it's always going to be more expensive. it obviously costs more to hire a plane for a one off occasion than it is for an airline to use one they own or lease. when my flight gets to denmark the plane will probably be cleaned, refueled and full of paying passengers again in a couple of hours, the club charter won't. booking one off ariport slots at short notice will be more expensive than block booking them for a long perid of time. thery're just a few of the things that push the price up.

who should support the club financially then?

they've not really put the prices up they've just returned them to a normal level. with 16 days until the game you only need to put away 32p a day. or find 17 hectors.

motherwell and dundee united fans make up a tiny propotion of the viewing audience, the home legs are likely to be the more exciting games where the scottish teams have a go and the tv money would stay in scotland rather than going to ob and aek.

after celtic blacked out the commentary on the braga match the bbc should be blanking them but with so many celtic minded working there that will probably be there first choice. the most sensible option would be to show united at home first then if we're still in the tie after our first leg show the game at fir park.

i don't forsee any problems with tickets but what's everyone's estimates for our support next week? i thought originally we would be doing well to get 500 but other people i've talked to think it'll be a fair bit more. hopefully the tickets will be on sale by sunday so everyone can get sorted at the hibs game.

i see saunders wasn't playing, did he get called up for the u21 match?

probably best to do it earlier, most airlines have a cut off point. ryanair is either 4 or 6 hours but some are 24 hours. take you're on the cimber flight on the wed?

when you check in online before you go you'll be given the option to do it for the return flight as well. so choose that then when you print it off you'll get a seperate page with a bar code on it for each flight. online check in is the baws. it maximises your time in the airport bar.

i got the stansted express on my way back from iceland, think it was about 35 mins. it's definitely do-able but it doesn't leave much breathing space if the bus is delayed on the way down or there's tube lines closed.

aye. there's 5 of us booked into the congress, sounds like there could be a good well contingent it looks no bad, definitely a step up from mister beds in nancy and reyjkavik backpackers 8 person dorm.

if we do end up playing 50+ games it'll hopefully mean that most of the young players on the fringes of things just now (hutchison, mchugh, page, meechan, pollock, smith, haslam) will get some decent playing time at some point. an ideal season would be europa league group stage, a scottish cup run and cowdenbeath west doing a gretna and taking the pressure off in the league.

i dunno about that, when you see a team like holland ruin the world cup final with foul play or teams like united, hearts and hibs and hibs kick their way up the league without any punishment then i don't think it's a bad thing that teams who play the game fairly are rewarded in some way.

roy carroll is their keeper, we'd surely be in with a shout just for that fact alone. eric djemba-djemba plays for them as well

hearts got pumped off zagreb last year but they're absolutely shite. i'd say we'd have a wee chance against them if we got the home leg first. aberdeen got a result against lokomotiv as well a few years ago.

we should give the ref a wee mention as well. i thought the guy was excellent a total contrast to the spanish prick we had last year.

i spotted you in the south, what do you expect? i agree the crowd was quiet tonight. unless jenno and craggs start promoting drinking wine before games i can't see what can be done about it though. the best atmoshere last season was both trips to tynecastle. why? because everyone was melted.

surely it would be sensible to take the kids somewhere free and cheap when it's warm rather than pay them into the fitba. attendances are higher round xmas than normal as well. summer fitba = shite idea propagated by ignorant people

talksport is the radio equivalent of sniffing poppers, a good laugh for a couple of minutes but after that it kills braincells. ignore.

if you really feel like that then it might be best to stop attending. perhaps you'd be happier doing a bit of fly fishing or amatuer dramatics?

+1 he won more than his fair share in the air and set up two goals. a great way to bounce back from a bad decision last week. good to see craggs and reynolds get so much praise though. mcghee seemed to put about the idea that they were a weak pairing when the truth was the exact opposite, all things considered they've been an exceptional partnership. we were expecting to sell reynolds a month or so ago. it's maybe time to ask now what's the value of keeping him?

there's zero chance it'll happen and quite rightly so. the idea that we should just test it and see if it works is mental, half our top teams are millions in debt they don't have any wiggle room. summer fitba would be suicide. right now it's better value to patg if you think you'll miss 4 home games, put the home games up against holidays, festivals, fishing, camping, golf and everything else you can do in the summer that you cannae do in the winter and see how well attendances hold up. right now our season lasts nine and a half months. what would our season be? mid febraury to the end of november? summery as fuck. summer football is up there with league cup sections and an 18 team league as pish spouted by people who just want to go against the status quo without actually thinking of the real effects change might have.

100% correct. he's only capable of beating england and spain and getting us our best ever european result.
