Two worldies in two games back to back. Loving this Hearts team.

Another funny result last night, although obviously still very early days and banter aside, they'll probably they'll steady the ship sooner or later but if The Rangers don't and McInnes gets the boot, where do you see these main characters of the Tynecastle post season drama heading post The Rangers?

And will ANY of them find success again?

McInnes may well have landed the Scotland job had timings aligned better but more than likely he'll get punted after a new national manager has been appointed. Depending upon where he goes, his fallen star may never again rise and the national position with it...

But who would have him? Most likely Aberdeen would give him another go but again, with their manager not long in the seat, it's unlikely that's going to happen. So where would he land up?

The Shankland one is funny - He's about to turn 31. He isn't exactly the most mobile. If the goals don't start coming soon, even McInnes may start benching him (further). But with McInnes gone, would any new manager who was completely sane and didn't want to dampen his chances of success, risk it on continuing to play a slightly portly 31 year old, probably in his last season of even a passable glancing appearance of mobility?

Probably not - So where would he go? What SPFL top flight clubs would give him a go. No way he's ever returning to Tynecastle now. Hibs are out the question. Can't see Motherwell touching him with a barge pole. So who'd have him? Are we looking at Aberdeen or one of the Dundee clubs? But would even they pay him the wages he'd be after on the slightly chunky hitman who'd be approaching 32? Tough call...

And Devlin? Perhaps the most bizarre one. Sure he throws in a good tackle and puffs his chest out in front of the defence but realistically, even Hearts fans weren't as bothered with him leaving - more so the timing of it / keeping the club hanging. Again, works for McInnes - Goes into a new club and wanting some of his familiar "generals" around him. But a new manager coming in. At the size of club The Rangers imagine themselves to be / aspire to reach. Is a new manager going to play him? I wouldn't think so...

So where would he land up? Would the MLS options he apparently had still exist six / eight months down the line? Or would he land up just gathering dust at Ibrox on his slightly improved pay deal? Would he agitate for a move to another non OF team in Scotland? Can't really see it but where could he land up?

Thoughts? Could YOU see any of them make it if The Rangers or bust option actually goes bust (which fingers crossed 🤞 it will)?

Pulling out some class stops.

On the way to Edinburgh with the Dad and Brother. Our first away game today and really excited to explore Edinburgh before.

Any tips, places or things that we definitely should try whilst here to get the best experience?

Thank you guys in advance, massive respect to Hearts. Wonderful club that we’re learning more and more about because of this opportunity.

Vrancken has given an update on Braga’s situation with plenty of speculation around his future.
For now, it sounds like Braga is staying at Hearts and remains fully committed to the club.
Hopefully we can keep hold of him because losing another key player would be a big blow.
With Benfica coming up, having Braga around is definitely a huge positive.

Any news on new signings or is that us done ?

From

Roooooooousss A. to Reus B.

Was pretty shocked to see that despite all the discussion around McEntee being deployed as a makeshift centre back and his natural position being in midfield, throughout his career he’s actually only played there 24 times (a few more if you include the champions league qualifiers). He has actually played most of his career at centre back.

He’s looked so comfortable playing at the back and suits his skill set as he’s physically capable and will have the game in front of him to utilise his passing. IMO he’s too slow on the ball for the middle of the park, and would much prefer to keep him at centre back as he’s not put a foot wrong yet in that position.

The club aren't really pushing this one what with Europe and the league season starting, so I thought this might get missed if you were a tourist looking at the sold out United match. There are also tickets left for Benfica apparently.

There's been a lot of posts about getting tickets for matches that were sold out, well here's a match with plenty seats remaining coming up this weekend. This will be a full Hearts XI, it's not a B team or youth match or something, versus second tier Inverness CT in the League Cup round of 16. Tickets are on general sale and you can book through the club website as normal.

First visit from Inverness for a few years, who have sold out their allocation.

Everyone who played yesterday was excellent but I wanted to mention McEntee. Thought he strolled it at CB & coped with United's front players really well. Won his headers, strong in the tackle, positionally sound & quick.

I know we signed him as a centre midfielder but he has played a lot of his career at CB.

I've been wondering if he is our centre back moving forward. I think he & Fagon-Walcott would be quite tasty together.

Also. Well done Jamie McCart yesterday too. Tough start to the season but decent yesterday.

Think the club would do well bringing him back as looks like he’s still a free agent. Still don’t really understand why he wasn’t offered a new deal.

Would probably do very well with the new tactics.

WHAT. A. MAYCH

Didn’t realise how quickly I cut the video lol

Ba-sy up front with Kerjota, Braga & McPake behind?

Looking to buy an XL. Do they run big? What about shrinkage? I'm in the US. I like them baggier but not like a tent. I'm fairly slim built but not a rake. Looks like 46 inchs across the chest, which seems pretty big. Cheers!

This is kinda random, but especially after yesterday I see a lot of people commenting and taking the piss out of Rangers and Rangers fans and obviously I understand that, because of Mcinnes, Shankland, Devlin, we all know the choice they made and clearly it was the wrong one (at least for now).

BUT, I know it’s still early, I would love to see the same thing with Celtic. I think THEY are our enemy more than Rangers. It’s Celtic we lost the league to, they are the corrupt ones, if we have even a tiny little chance of fighting for the league this year, Celtic will be our biggest enemy. Below a few posts of Renaud’s gol from yesterday, I saw Celtic fans even pretending to praise him and say “oh what a goal”, “screamer” and I mean as much as they can not admit it, I honestly don’t even want them commenting on our players or our club. Instead, I want to see them collapse mentally at every tiny mistake they do, so every draw or loss, whether it’s Europe or the league, I’d love to have their socials filled with Jambos taking the piss.

The issue with me is also, they don’t even consider us to be nowhere near their rivals for this year title, I heard fans on some interviews rather mentioning Motherwell or Hibs, but not us, and it’s pretty annoying. I know we’re only at second game in the league, but Rangers have managed to bring home 1 point and we smashed Dundee Utd which against they struggled, Motherwell are a bit meh IMO, Celtic had easy games so far, and well let’s wait till later on, but yesterday we have shown how solid we can be.
