Hearts V CELTIC. Sunday 1st Dec, 3pm Live BBC 1 Scotland

You've finally just realised that after all these years?

:icon_mrgreen:

 

Weird playing in the cup in December not early January. But this is what we have on Sunday. After the disappointment of last night we will need a big reaction and performance from the players as you have to expect we will get the diet huns best shot Sunday. Looking forward to it. For me after a big disappointment like last night the next game cannot come quickly enough for me.

If we lose this game the season is basically dead in the water in terms of excitement.

On a positive not if we win at Tynecastle it would give us a lift and keep the season interesting. The Scottish Cup is a fantastic tournament. Always enjoy a Scottish cup tie. Back to back league and Scottish Cup doubles is what we should be aiming for. That would be fantastic.

 

It wouldn't be the boards fault :smiley-laughing002:

 

We better win this. The Scottish Cup is the only thing we have left to keep us interested between now and May.

It's probably the perfect game for us after last night's disappointment though. The atmosphere at Tynecastle is always spicy and we usually rise to the occasion through there. I expect us to do so again.

Want to see attacking football and go right over the top of them, youngsters on the bench to give them a run out as well. Fisher showed at County he has the pace, strength and crossing to play as a winger or full back.

 

This couldn't really have come at a better time, and offers a great chance to bounce back and lift the spirit of the team. A must win (and good performance) in what will be a highly charged atmosphere.

Lennon has two choices; throw the same team out who played against Milan and demand an improvement in effort and performance; or make a splash and drop some complacent players and give the new signings or youngsters another chance to impress.

I think he will go with his 'favourites' but we must see some drive and determination from them.

 

That is the team I would go with too.
We need to bounce back and put the Jam Tarts in their place.
I don't know about the 12-0 though :smiley-laughing002: 1-0 will do me.

 

Some people saying if lennon loses this game he will be sacked , to be honest i think the only way he would be sacked is if we lost the league

 

So

 

Would like to see Samaras, Mulgrew and Commons dropped after their woeful performances last night, Kayal will probably be out after going off to (unsure of the outcome on that one)?

Rogic, Balde, Biton, Fisher, Boerrigter, Atajic, McGeouch - These guys should be getting a good chance in the side now. If it isn't done now after what's happened, it'll never happen. Time to leave your 'favourites' out Mr.Lennon.

 

Balde to start - smash the * 7-0, Balde x4, Pukki hattrick
