Ovo je pregenijalno!!  Ovaj dio kad dođemo u 16m me oduševio , a ovo kontriranje i (zaboravili su) zabijanje (odnosno primanje) krumpira od golova, savršeno zaokružuje opis!

Nego, zanima me, budući da nisam mogao zadnjih dana ništa pratiti vezano u HR, a kamoli nogomet, kako bi mogla izgledati obrana, može i cijela momčad u četvrtak???

Kovača nema, Lovren je out zbog kartona?? Tko je u obrani, Carlos? Barbaric? Tu će biti takve rupetine da nam ne ginu bar 2 gola u Zagrebu. 
Srećom, Pap se izgleda dobio, Slepička valjda ispromašivao, a Manđa se vraća, pa možda izvučemo kakav remi koji bi bio premija pred uzvrat... 

Jeste! Tnx Lux!

Slažem se s tobom markabc u potpunosti! No, meni se nije dalo razložno (kao što si ti) "raskrinkavati" te teze, niti mi se da suvislo i razumno objašnjavati da je u tome tekstu podmenuta teza kako ne postoji neki viši cilj, koncept, strategija, što je puko akademsko salonsko laprdanje, ali na žalost pada na plodno tlo i dosta je naporno boriti se protiv "pušenja" takvih katastrofičnih napisa.

Drago mi je da ima ljudi koje nije lako zaslijepiti takvim "pametnim" tekstovima!  

Nema veze, glupo je nervirati se oko toga. Idemo se mi veseliti našim novim europskim uspjesima!

Meni je iskreno žao što je, među našim klubovima, samo Dinamo ostao u Europi, ali eto barem to nam nitko ne može "oduzeti" i omalovažiti!

Da, vrlo je vjerojatno da će Carlos biti u obrani, što samo po sebi i nije baš katastrofa - nije ona baš tako loš na poziciji stopera. Kovač možda bude spreman za uzvratnu utakmicu (mada nakon tolike pauze čisto sumnjam).

Ne slažem se s tobom da nam negine dva gola - Škoti loše stoje s napadačima. Navodno panično traže pojačanje, a rok im je ponedjeljak do 23h. Kažu da će nekog sigurno dovesti, ali je pitanje koliko će se on uklopiti u ostatak ekipe, a ako se ne varam njima prvenstvo starta tek 17.8., tako je potpuna nepoznanica (i njima samima) koliko su uigrani.
 
Samo da nas ne zadese neke nove ozljede...

The Tynecastle side have been paired with the Croatian outfit in the play-off round for the two-legged tie on 20 and 27 August – the club's first European voyage in three years.

Hearts avoided Dutch side Heerenveen, Davie Moyes' Everton and German giants Werder Bremen – as well as Litex of Bulgaria – but still face a tough test later this month against famous opponents.

Dinamo, based in Croatia's capital city Zagreb, have won the Croatian championship for the last four seasons and the Croatian Cup for the last three years. Founded in 1945, they are an experienced outfit in Europe under manager Krunoslav Jurcic and are regulars in the Champions League qualifiers and Uefa Cup.

They reached the Uefa Cup group stage last term, losing out to Tottenham, among others, in their section.

The club – then known as Croatia Zagreb – have faced Scottish opposition before, beating Celtic 3-1 on aggregate in 1998-99 in a European Cup tie.

Laszlo can take heart from their elimination from the Champions League this week after a 3-2 aggregate defeat to Red Bull Salzburg of Austria in the third qualifying round.

While Zagreb's team is predominately Croatian, they can also call on Brazilian and Argentinian players.

But Laszlo is confident of success and said: "They are a very famous club but with the right preparation it is a game I believe we can win."

Hearts managing director Campbell Ogilvie was at the draw in Nyon and is finalising the arrangements for both ties with his Croatian counterparts.

Hearts fans are unlikely to face a scramble for away tickets with the Maksimir Stadium boasting a sizeable capacity of 38,923.

Laszlo added: "It's a better draw to have this than Everton or Werder Bremen. If you played against them, it would also be interesting but a more harder opponent.

"But Dinamo Zagreb is from Croatia, a champion of his country. They also have experience in international football. It is a huge club, one of the biggest in Croatia.

"But I think if we have good preparation and concentrate about our jobs, we have a good chance to qualify.

"This is football, professional sport and you can't be sure of winning. But you must have the confidence and belief."

Hearts have confirmed the away leg will be first on August 20 with the return at Tynecastle on 27 August.

Meanwhile, former Hearts captain Robbie Neilson is backing his old team to beat Dinamo Zagreb because of Laszlo's previous experience of European football.

Laszlo was in charge of Ferencvaros when they beat Hearts 1-0 in the Uefa Cup at Murrayfield five years ago, and also experienced Champions League football with the Hungarian side.

In contrast, 39 year-old Dinamo Zagreb manager Krunoslav Jurcic has only been in the job since March and his only experience of European football is from the recent Champions League qualifiers against Pyunik Yerevan and Red Bull Salzburg. And Neilson, the last Hearts player to score a winning goal away from home in Europe against FC Basel in 2004, believes Laszlo's greater managerial experience will be crucial when the two sides meet in the Europa League later this month.

"It's a good draw, probably as good as they could have got, and I really believe Hearts can qualify," said the Leicester City defender.

"Laszlo's previous European experience with Ferencvaros will be very important and could be vital to Hearts' chances of beating Dinamo Zagreb and going through. He knows all about the different styles of football played by teams on the Continent and, more importantly, he knows how to set up his team to play in Europe.

"I don't expect him to change his tactics for the first leg in Croatia and fully expect that he'll stick with his normal 4-4-1-1 formation. I'm sure he'll have Hearts very compact out there and will keep a pretty rigid shape to his team in a bid to keep the tie alive ahead of the return leg at Tynecastle.

"That's the formation he used for most of last season and it's also used by a lot of foreign teams.

"It's vitally important you're tactically set-up in Europe and I'm sure he'll have the team working well by the time these two games against Zagreb come around.

"The main plus point for me is that the manager is still at Tynecastle, which is a huge bonus for the football club.

"He did fantastic last season and showed everyone not only how good a boss he is, but also how good he is as a man-manager."

U prvih sat vremena planulo 1.000 ulaznica za Dinamo!

U škotskom nogometnom prvoligašu Heartsu oduševljeni su načinom na koji je započela prodaja ulaznica za uzvratnu utakmicu 4. pretkola Europske lige protiv zagrebačkog Dinama 27. kolovoza…

Podsjećamo, prvi susret na rasporedu je 20. kolovoza u Zagrebu, a Dinamovi nogometaši očito mogu očekivati pun stadion na uzvratu u Edinburghu na stadionu Tynecastle, budući da je samo u prvih sat vremena prodaje planulo 1.000 ulaznica!

'Prodaja ulaznica krenula je fantastično, zahvaljujemo navijačima i pohvaljujemo ih što na taj način pokazuju tako veliku podršku našem klubu. Očekujemo da će se prodaja ulaznica u istom stilu nastaviti i tijekom vikenda, odnosno sljedećeg tjedna', izjavio je glasnogovornik Heartsa.

Menadžer kluba Csaba Laszlo također je bio oduševljen reakcijom navijača. 'To je čudesno! Moramo imati puni Tynecastle na uzvratu i vrlo posebnu atmosferu', rekao je Mađar.

Nama je stvarno peh s tim ozljedama i kartonima, ključni igrači i ključne utakmice! 

Ah, a ova priča s angažmanom novog napadača u zadnji tren bi im se i mogla isplatiti protiv Dinama (samo se sjetim Rennesa) 

Mislim da je sjajno što još nisu u natjecateljskoj formi, što bi morali iskoristiti i nokautirati ih na Maksimiru, jer stvarno bi bila katastrofa da od dvije šanse sve prokockamo!!

Meni je jedna stvar nevjerojatna...
Nakon svih ovih godina, nakon svih ovih (negativnih) iskustava, poglavito nakon ove zadnje epizode sa RBS-om,
kad su danima svi skupa, od trenera nadalje, trubili da su jača ekipa od protivnika i da je sve samo na njima,
da je protivnik tu samo kako bi upotpunio 'ugođaj' na terenu'...nakon toliko šamara i gorkih pilula...
nakon svega, opet danas čitam identičnu izjavu i od trenera (Jurčić) i od prvotimca (Badelj), u stilu:
ma, respektiramo ih (kao ono, mora se preko k*rca i to reći, ali s figama u džepu...),
ali sve u ovom dvomeču ovisi samo i isključivo o nama!
Pa koji im je k*rac, do kad misle imati taj priglupi stav, kad misle otvoriti oči i vidjeti gdje griješe
te shvatiti da je 1997.godina davno prošla i da se od tad mnogo toga promjenilo?!
Ako su imali problema s 'borbenim' RBS-om,  onda će za njih Hearts biti ''napaljeni King Kong kom su prije 5 minuta uzeli onu plavojku iz šapa'', a oni već emitiraju stav ''ma, kakvi škoti, pa ti samo nabijaju loptu i bore se po terenu, ali protiv našim mađioničara i fantazista nemaju šanse...''
A to sve vodi samo prema još jednoj tužnoj koloni navijača kroz Maksimirsku, negdje pred kraj kolovoza...
