Sturm Graz v Hearts K.O. 7.30pm

as a ycfc fan hope fagan-walcott plays ( well )

They lost Devlin, McInnes and Shankland all to the evil sevco, if you can't beat them, buy them seems to be their Moto, but f them, Hearts still got Tony Bloom in they're ranks, so expect decent replacements for the departed, expect Hearts to keep the tie alive for their home game..

1-0

Scottish football in Europe always a good laugh

4 nil

Same old Sweaty sh1te

Next Stop Lisbon an other Doing coming Up

Yea, will play Benfica in qualifier for Europa League, no chance there, mind if they went to get anywhere near what they did last season domestically,they could do without European football.

Well done Op...some great betting insight on the thread...not!

You were OP, self praise or you on wrong log in

Just disappointed that on a betting site forum the level of chat when you put up a view re a bet and the majority responses  revolves around petty stuff as opposed to debate on merits of price bet value etc

I thought Sturm Graz was a good price myself but I never got involved maybe should have.

It will be interesting to see how Scottish domestic league turns out this coming season
Celtic under pressure from  it fans currently on lack of signings.
Hearts vulnerable lost key figures at club
SEVCO no idea but they will be in with a shout.
Motherwell have lost manager and significant players and possibly more.
However I still think it will be competitive league and big Glasgow clubs will fight it out, be tight.

always seems strange to me  how Red Star Belgrade have to scrap it out in the 2QR season after season  and Celtic  come to the party much later ...i cant imagine Celtic's record is any better than RSBs ... 

  Hearts 10/1 to win the SPL  ...so on balance Sturm's price was excellent i guess .

Hearts had 67% possession, 12 corners to Sturm's 4, more touches in the opponents penalty box, a similar XG and 19 shots as opposed to the home side's 20.  They weren't outplayed at all.  I didn't watch the game, but I don't think the price of 1.83 the home side was that great given the overall stats, even though they won 4-0.  I'll go out on a limb and say were they to play the match again the home side would be a bigger price.

Interesting take Clydebank, they play next week at Tynecastle, never seen first leg myself but I don’t think Hearts will be favs in Edinburgh.

1.83 home leg pretty close to pickem away in Europe.  Would make Sturm mebbe 0.1 goals better away.  But seeing as it's 4-0, and given the overall stats, I think Hearts will end up faves at kick-off (assuming they both play a full strength side)

2.6 Hearts 2.9 Sturm (see how close I get)

There might be betting already available although can't see any

You might have found yourself a good betting opportunity Clydebank and GL if you have a go, and Tynecastle is a fierce place to go to but just think the atmosphere will be deflated.
A read a Hearts web site report of match, it was no hard luck story.

Most people are burnt out after the World Cup and can't really get up for Hearts of Midlothian away in Europe.

maybe Hibs away then lol ?  they're currently in action as we speak

1-0 and prob not worst result and should go through in Sunny leith.

Heart of Midlothian (Hearts), not a CL side and no big disaster getting pumped away to SG although Scottish coefficient only heading in one direction since Rangers epic runs in Europa.

Septic  hardly helped much with Coey, no need for them to sign players as SFA got thar backs, most corrpt league in Europe.

Currently trying to gag any commentary on subject but truth will out.

Hibs lost 2 nil Hunni.

And btw rangers died if you don’t that either

Big Jock knew though. cheers.

I don’t think he knew about Harry Dunne no way or he’d never have him Chief Scout at Rangers, Motherwell or Leicester.

Sevco denied liability on cases stating different club totally, which is legally probably correct. Green bought assets and formed new club.
The new club has done very well. Won a league and got to European final.

So much for Sturm being faves MALAY.  Hearts around Evens to a 100% book

In my defence Flashscore odds suggest Sturm drifted to at least Evens at kick off.  I was basing my odds off the 1.83 posted here

Don’t think evens is a good price but GL if you play. Hearts are out don’t know what manager priority will be Sturm Graz or league start off, if I was Hearts fan hopefully league start off.

I'd have backed Hearts at a bigger price as a trade, but obv not at this price.  At 4-0 up you have to question the motivation/mindset of the away side.  Hearts will be motivated imo as they'll want to set the record straight, even though the fans probably won't be..

I’ve seen Celtic in the past receive significant beatings against teams who appeared inferior opposition and were very short in Glasgow to win and did win, but never looked like overturning the deficit.
However Sturm Graz don’t really come into inferior opposition category,I don’t know this but they probably have better players and a bigger budget than Hearts.

Celtic appear to have made a decent signing at last, big money probably as big money Scottish club could pay, not because Celtic could not afford to pay more for players but 15-20 million pounds not going to go to Scotland to play, they will have better options elsewhere, maybe not better but more attractive.

They have paid £11m sign striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt buit have sold Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town in a £10m deal, so it's only a 1M outlay, Maeda was huge for Celtic in the run up to the title last term so it's big shoes to fill. We will see.

Great servant to Celtic apart from his first six months of last season were he had downed tools and put Celtic in difficult position, his absolute sitter in Champions league contributed to negativity.
A strange type of player, great to have seen him for an experience but I wouldn’t pay money to watch him.

Spanked 6-0 on aggregate, this is a team that were very nearly crowned the best in Scotland a few months ago...

Asian line was well wrong with it's odds for the 2nd leg.  Pretty dire start for Scottish clubs in Europe

Hibs decent value at around 4's on to beat this Malisheva.  their away form in europe is basically woeful, Víkingur Reykjavík beat them 8-0 in Iceland last year.   
Be hugely embarrassing if Hibs can't put them away, with ease.

they may be woeful away from home but they can still score against a porous Hibs defence
BTTS is the bet here at 11/10, imho.

Big game for David Gray big game for Hibs Took the 4/5 to Score in both Halves with Hills Single Then had a Double Hibs to Score in both Halves & Hibs to Finish above Hearts 11/1 the Double with the Stoke Firm T 6/1 Hibs match bet over Hearts could be a bit value Good Luck if you are playing in Thursday game

"Spanked 6-0 on aggregate, this is a team that were very nearly crowned the best in Scotland a few months ago..."          Same club but not the same team.  How good are Aberdeen ?  I know Hearts are sh1te.  Watched both legs.

Hearts could do with not being in Europe.  They're going to end up playing in Uzbekistan on Thursday then heading to Ibrox or Parkhead on the Sunday.  They benefited hugely from not being in Europe last season.  And the squads arguably weaker this year.

Uzbekistan

Hearts will be disappointed but that tie looked really tough. I’m sure they will pick themselves up and concentrate on bread and butter in coming months.

I don't think it mattered who Hearts were playing, the CL is much too high a level for them.
And the irony is they'll now be playing a far better side than Sturm Graz when they drop into the Europa qualifier.

Hibs decent value at around 4's on to beat this Malisheva.  their away form in europe is basically woeful, Víkingur Reykjavík beat them 8-0 in Iceland last year.   
Be hugely embarrassing if Hibs can't put them away, with ease.

nice touch 4/1, was it
never got involved..!!!!!

The way he milked it you had every right to think it was 4/1.

But the odds were closer to 1/4 but there is no way he was going to correct your mistake.

More than happy to take false praise.

4-1 FC Hibernian Edinburgh

FT, Weighed in

sounds like it was JML on the receiving end ^^

receiving end of what Einstein?

If you actually had a bet you can post it on here.

You're a pitiful laughing stock on racing forum and now
you're going for the double on this forum.

Hearts will be gutted losing yesterday probably wondering why they lost, but Aberdeen managed to get the late goals, great penalty to win it, but performance levels I thought Hearts deserved something it was not to be.

I thought St Mirren deserved their victory, Falkirk disappointed but they have lost their best player.

Corruption continues in Spfl,embarrassing stuff and season is but one game old.

What happened? I must have missed what you are talking about, I watched 4 games didn’t see anything strange

I watched Friday on Rangers Tv there was no complaints from commentators
Watched  Falkirk game on Falkirk tv beat no complaints from commentary
Watched Hearts match on Hearts tv no complaints
Watched Motherwell game on Well tv but never seen anything dodgy
Never seen other match

Very tough draw for Celtic in Champions league however if they can’t deal with that fixture then you don’t deserve to get CL football, make Austrian side slight favs, let’s see what happens

The Scottish FA and football authorities have cracked down on official club channels and media content criticizing refereeing decisions, notably penalizing Motherwell FC for digital and video commentary targeting a controversial VAR penalty.

What decision do you think that  was?

No idea what you are talking about I thought Hibs v Motherwell game was very sporting, was Hibs penalty a penalty possibly soft ? but there were no complaints Defender got out muscled and into todays game it’s a penalty.

I'm talking about the fact you never heard any complaints from club channel match comms, as any discussion of refs descions are punishable.


KAPISH?

Didn’t know that but it’s probably correct as they are representing the club, and commentators probably welcome that too because they don’t need to do the fan bit, and clear guidelines as they could easily be scapegoats.
Back on to what happened on pitch, did you watch match and identify any controversial decisions you were clear were wrong ?I didn’t see anything, I thought matches were played in positive sporting manner.

Celtic lacklustre but credit to Dundee and another match no controversy and no moaning about decisions blaming other people for bad play.

Hearts, Hibs, Motherwell and Sevo all partake in the annual Scottish teams in Europe humiliation tonight. Sevco play Jagiellonia in Poland, Sevco slight favs, don't see it that way,Jagiellonia played 8 games so far 6 friendlies and 2 domestic, won 7 drawn 1. Sevco only played 3 games before this one and will be under-cooked. Could be a draw but I quite fancy (and hope) the Poles putting a couple past sevco. Hearts will be hammered, simplez. Motherwell are away to Finish side HJK who are half way through their season, that will be difficult, a draw would be a good result. Hibs are 1/2 to beat N.Macedonia's Shkendija, good luck to anyone backing a Scottish team in Europe at that price.

Benfica AOHW @ 2.5

Jagiellonia over 1.5 goals @ 13/8

GL if playing....

2-1 already

Another bad beating for jambos
Sevco not worst result will be favs to get job done at Ibrox won’t be easy, but think they will do job
Interesting match coming up at Fir Park definitely worth watching.
