00:00Once again, Jonathan, no changes for either side at the interval.
00:06Daniel Varchuline, no doubt looking back on those chances he had just at the end of the first period.
00:15Wondering what might have been had one of them ended up in the back of the net.
00:21So, still very much finely balanced going into this second period.
00:28Let's see if he has something to say to Frank again here at the start of the second half.
00:36Here comes Hart's head coach, Stephen Eastman.
00:50And we are pretty much ready to get underway.
01:00Not entirely sure what the delay here is.
01:06One of the assistants is still inside the goal mouth, as you can see now.
01:31Perhaps something awry with the nets there.
01:36The Bulgarian officials have been sticklers already over a couple of different things.
01:44And something is not to their liking.
01:49It looks like there are a couple of bits of the net that have looped round each other.
02:09Not entirely sure what the issue is though, in terms of that not being able to play with it.
02:22Surely it was the net.
02:36I can't imagine that the net has got a hole in it and they have tied it together.
02:42And if it was the case, was it like that in the first half?
02:45Well, if it was, the officials haven't been doing their job right, have they?
02:50They'll be in trouble.
02:53There's a hole in the actual net, I cannot believe.
02:57Oh my Lord.
03:01I cannot believe that the game has actually been started with it tied up like that.
03:10Surely they've got a spare net.
03:18Well, I've seen delays for a few things over the years, but that's probably a first.
03:24Certainly at this level.
03:30Well, after that drama, we are ready to go for the...
03:34At least we've had a bit of drama.
03:38Here we go again.
03:41Can Harts find at least a goal?
03:47Well, if they're going to, like the guys in the studio were talking about, there has to be a much greater emphasis on building the game.
03:54There has been no control, there's been no real tempo.
03:58And to do that, they need to start getting some passing and with a purpose.
04:03We spoke about it in the first half and obviously the guys in the studio were talking about it as well.
04:07That midfield in particular, it's just been an empty space at times.
04:12There's been no connection, no flow.
04:16They need to start getting some link up.
04:21Otherwise it feels as if this game is just going to continue to be as frustrating as the first half was.
04:28Taylor just manages to keep it in.
04:35Zero support.
04:37I mean, for me, if Gerard Taylor has got no support there, drop the shoulder.
04:42Try and take Cadou on. Try and hit the byline.
04:47Boyce, there's just enough there to keep position. Did well in the end, actually.
04:50Here's Kingsley for Taylor.
04:54Curls that one.
04:57There's too much on it in the end.
04:59I mean, the whole game in the first half, I can't remember a Harts player hitting the byline.
05:04Now, here again, try and take Cadou on.
05:08You know, it's not the best ball. I mean, if he gets it behind, then it goes into a difficult area.
05:12But once you hit that byline and you're in behind the defence, it changes things dramatically.
05:18And Harts just, they haven't done it enough all season.
05:22Shultz for Cherve.
05:26Kopitz now up against Penrice.
05:32Handball being given there against Shultz.
05:37Got Shultz a book in.
05:39Yeah, I mean, I thought so.
05:41Well, I mean, if the referee's spotted it, which it seems that he has, and he's pointing for a free kick,
05:46then he's surely got to boot Shultz.
05:51Uh-uh.
05:52That's astonishing.
05:53Yeah, I mean, deliberate handball is a yellow card. It's as simple as that.
05:58Well, we saw it last week with Sidibe in the league.
06:03So, seemingly, some things have to be adhered to in terms of the laws of the game, but not necessarily others.
06:15Vashulian just barges Kingsley to the ground there.
06:19That was pretty crude from the striker.
06:24It was about as subtle as a sledgehammer, that.
06:27Harts have taken the free kick quickly, but it's not really worked out for them.
06:30Here is Vashulian.
06:31That's a perfect example of the lack of idea about how to build the game for Harts.
06:36They'll take a quick free kick.
06:39Can't do it.
06:41Not a bad ball in, but just angles slightly wrong.
06:47I just don't see the game plan from Harts in terms of where they're going to try and hurt the opposition,
06:53where they try to work the ball to.
06:55What are the combinations in the link-up play?
06:58It just doesn't seem to be there.
07:00Frankie Kent's pointing to Taylor to be switched on,
07:02but the amount of times I've seen Taylor and Penrice in particular pick the ball up,
07:06there's nobody looking for the ball.
07:08They're isolated.
07:10Boys in Vargas, good link-up.
07:14Taylor.
07:17Devlin picks up the scraps.
07:22Back in with Taylor now.
07:25Slides Yamilka.
07:28I couldn't agree more with Neil McCann at half-time when he was asked if he was impressed with the goals.
07:34Not really.
07:38This is such a good opportunity for Harts to make it to the Europa League.
07:44You just feel that it's too good an opportunity to pass up.
07:50Taylor with another long throw.
07:53Kent gets his head in there.
07:57There's a Pilsen player writhing around,
08:00and the referee decides that's an infringement and a free kick.
08:04The visitors wait.
08:09You know, Laurence Shatman's obviously talking about at half-time that it's a different game
08:14as you see the free kick that's given again.
08:19It barely touches him.
08:23And he's talking about how it's a different game, and it is in terms of playing against Motherwell.
08:27But the structure's very similar as what they faced against Motherwell.
08:32And Harts, same structure that they had against Motherwell.
08:37When Harts changed to the back four and they got some pace on the side,
08:42Oda down one side, Blair Spittle playing off the left on the other side,
08:46they looked far more comfortable.
08:49And this is a home game, with the carrot of the Europa League at the end of it here.
08:53You just feel like things have got to change.
08:57Grant for Devlin, and Taylor again.
09:03A small way from Vargas, but voting has kept it alive for Harts.
09:09Come on, Kenny!
09:12Vargas looked to just spin it round Jamilka there, and the assistant flags for the free kick.
09:22Nice wee turn there from Vargas.
09:26Through the legs of Jamilka, nice play.
09:30The big centre-half couldn't do anything there.
09:34Watch the Harts striker.
09:42Is this the moment for Harts?
09:45George Grant over the free kick.
09:49Free, ensuring everyone knows exactly what is and what isn't allowed in there.
09:55As Grant sends it in dangerously, but it's a good defensive header from Vashulin.
10:01Grant, no.
10:03He's under pressure, and he's lost it, and it's Kadu.
10:07Grant thought about clipping him, and then he makes the challenge.
10:11And did well in the end, Grant.
10:14Here come Harts at the other end again.
10:17Vargas.
10:19Good awareness from Boyce.
10:22Again the Tyne Castle crowd trying to get him behind their side.
10:32Victoria Poole isn't able to get everyone back behind the ball, but here's Taylor.
10:37It's over Boyce.
10:40Boateng.
10:42Devlin.
10:44Just wouldn't sit for him.
10:48It doesn't mean much though, Michael, from Harts to get the crowd on their side,
10:53so they just need to keep doing it.
10:55Get into those positions as much as anything else.
10:58He doesn't, and the crowd are desperate to get behind something.
11:16Well, Harts simply can't afford this to lose a goal.
11:19It's Cherve.
11:21Looks to create something here.
11:25Devlin.
11:27I thought Penrice was out wide of him.
11:29Cherve will pick it up once more.
11:32Kopic back to Havel.
11:45Here's Yemelka.
11:47Time to measure a cross here for Vaseline Roules.
11:50Cherve completely miskicks that one.
11:53And Penrice will hammer it clear.
11:55What an interesting foot race.
11:57Vargas up against Dewey.
12:00What's Vargas got here?
12:03He's got no support.
12:05He's done well to win his side of the corner.
12:07He's done really well there.
12:091-1 against Dewey.
12:11He manages to win the corner.
12:26Carhartt's test.
12:28Marianne toured on in that closing goal.
12:35Out-swinging corner aimed at Kent.
12:38Kadu with an important touch there.
12:55That's done well again.
12:57Penrice, what a brilliant touch.
13:00Bring it under control this time.
13:02That's a much better ball.
13:04Neither Vargas nor Boyes could make anything of it.
13:07That will come again.
13:09Kingsley on to the left.
13:11Swings it to the back post.
13:13It's an inviting one for Tourdon to come out and take.
13:17That's a good ball.
13:19That's a good ball.
13:29It's managing to get in behind the defence to a certain extent.
13:33But it's almost through ricochets, deflections.
13:36But that's the areas that Carhartt have got to try and get to.
13:40They've got to try and penetrate into those wide areas.
13:47Some bad news coming in on the European front.
13:51Kamanuks finish one each at home against Copenhagen.
13:54So they go out 3-1 on aggregate.
13:56And their European adventure for the season is over.
14:03Meldkamp teasing it forward.
14:05Comes for Vaseline.
14:07He'll look to get the shot off.
14:09Good take from Craig Gordon as the bodies swarmed around him.
14:14Really good take from the captain there.
14:17Lots of bodies around him.
14:19He had to be very clean with it.
14:21Make sure that there was no spillage.
14:31Taylor up against Kadu.
14:36That's disappointing.
14:38Again, the ball's played to Gerald Taylor.
14:41And he has no support.
14:43He doesn't look like he's overly convinced that he can get past Kadu either.
14:48And there's 30 yards to the byline.
14:51And it just seems like those areas of the park,
14:54which are some of the most dangerous,
14:56are areas that Carhartt seldom get into.
15:12Grant's spent an awful lot of his time out on the left-hand side.
15:18And he's given away a free kick here.
15:20And a yellow card coming his way as well for the challenge.
15:24I think that's the assistant who's indicated that.
15:29There's no doubt it's the assistant that's flagged it.
15:33I think he's trying to suggest that George Grant catches him with a flailing arm.
15:37I think he's trying to suggest that George Grant catches him with a flailing arm.
15:40But play on.
15:42Cher actually wins the ball back.
15:44Good pressure. He wins the ball.
15:46Yes, he catches him a little bit.
15:48But it's accidental.
15:50And Victoria Pilsen have got the ball.
16:00First change of the night.
16:02Matej Vidra.
16:04Coming on as he did in the first leg for Alexander Sojka,
16:09who hasn't really been able to make an impact in the game.
16:14Visiting fan zone.
16:18Showing their appreciation.
16:25But talking of Victoria Pilsen's pedigree,
16:29this man's got a good bit of pedigree.
16:31Four check caps.
16:35Numerous goals over the years.
16:38And this is a dangerous moment.
16:40As Schilling just couldn't direct the header on target.
16:43And Havel said about that, the better.
16:49Well, talking about him playing centre-back and maybe being out of position,
16:53it certainly hits it like a centre-back here, this strike.
16:57Good clearance.
17:07Just over 18,000 inside Tyne Castle tonight.
17:10Impressive turnout.
17:12But so far, what's been an offer on the pitch
17:16hasn't really been up to scratch.
17:18Still need to do more here.
17:21Well, I mean, there's been the odd sort of burst from the support
17:25where they felt like there was something exciting about to happen.
17:29But over the piece, it's just been incredibly flat.
17:37Yeah, well, you've got the likes of Jan Danda, Blair Spittel,
17:42Barry Mackay on the bench.
17:45Players who have got creative ability, without doubt.
17:50They've got goals in them.
17:52You see them, that's Hoistier into the penalty area.
17:56Toured on coming a long way.
18:01Martson got to guard against this counter
18:04as Shultz tries to pick out Vidra.
18:09Well, one thing you've got to say is that
18:12as poor as it's been from both sides,
18:15for Hearts, the game is still there for the taking.
18:21It's nil-nil, there's only one goal in it.
18:23And you look towards that bench, as you've already spoken about,
18:26and there's plenty of players there, as you just mentioned, with creativity.
18:29Need to try and get a bit of pace into the team as well.
18:32And as much as Oda frustrates me with his lack of end product,
18:36I'd be looking to try to get him on in the wider area.
18:39And definitely got to be looking to get the likes of Danda and Spittel
18:42on at the park as well.
18:44There's half an hour left.
18:46Fortune favours the brave to a certain extent.
18:48You have to gamble.
18:50Gordon thought of it coming there, then thought better of it.
18:52Vidra will pick up.
18:54Shultz now, blocked by Kingsley.
18:59Otherwise you're in danger of letting this tie slip away from you
19:02against a side that haven't done a great deal.
19:07Well, the thing was, this stage last season,
19:10albeit it was a conference play-off,
19:12but Pauk were a better team than Hearts.
19:15And you didn't really have any qualms about them
19:18going out to a team of that quality.
19:20They were far better than this side, Victoria Pilsner.
19:23If they go out to this team tonight,
19:25it's going to be such a chance missed, as you've been pointing out.
19:28No doubt about it.
19:30And I think back to two years ago, the play-off against Zurich,
19:34who were OK, felt as if they were there for the taking as well.
19:39And Hearts in the first half in particular, they were really at it.
19:42The energy was there.
19:44They just couldn't find that goal that they needed,
19:47and then sending off down to ten men,
19:50and the penalty against them, that killed the game.
19:53Tonight, that's just a perfect example.
19:57It just feels so disjointed.
20:05Well, certainly discussions going on.
20:07You would imagine it's about what changes to make,
20:10but I feel like the sooner the better, really.
20:14Hearts need a spark from somewhere.
20:24You mentioned that Rosenberg victory
20:27in the third qualifying round last season.
20:31That was a brilliant night, and the crowd really bought into that.
20:34The team showed a real desire.
20:38It was Vargas, speculative, and well off target.
20:45Well, the second half has just taken on the same shape as the first.
20:52Lacking in quality from both sides, really.
20:56Neither goalkeeper really being put under a great deal of pressure.
21:01Obviously, for Victoria Pilsen,
21:05they're the ones that have got that one-goal advantage at the moment.
21:12It's Hearts as the home side that are goal down.
21:15They're the ones that are really expecting and hoping
21:18that they can go and actually take the game by the scruff of the neck
21:21and make something happen.
21:24I'm not sure if that's just a little bit of cramp
21:27that Vargas is suffering from,
21:29or if there's actually a little strain.
21:32There was a lot of tape there, I think, on the calf.
21:35I'm not sure if that's because there's an underlying issue there.
21:43Certainly there was a cheer as Blair Spittel emerged from the dugout
21:47and began to warm up.
21:50Can't fault Vargas for effort tonight, that's for sure.
21:53That man knows his side around the brink.
21:56It's their 15th successive season in European competition,
22:01so the pedigree that we've spoken about is not in question.
22:04Just to put that into context, I think I mentioned this last week,
22:07this is the first time we've had a European team
22:09in the European League.
22:11It's the first time we've had a European team
22:13in the European League.
22:15It's the first time we've had a European team
22:17I think I mentioned this last week,
22:19this is the first time in Hart's history
22:21that they've been in Europe for three successive seasons.
22:25But the evidence out in the park is
22:28there's not a lot of difference in quality between the sides.
22:37Yemelka clips that forward,
22:39picked up by Kadu.
22:41Dangerous position,
22:43doing just enough, but he's a big chance.
22:45What a save from Craig Gordon to the right by Choulin.
22:48Well, if anyone's in any doubt about the quality
22:51or the continuing quality of the 41-year-old Craig Gordon,
22:55just take a look at this.
22:57Absolutely outstanding from the captain,
23:00and he's kept Hart's in this.
23:04His reactions are just as quick as, I'd say, ten years ago.
23:09It really is incredible.
23:11Look how much he spreads himself.
23:13The strong arm.
23:15That is a huge save from Craig Gordon.
23:19And it keeps him in the tie,
23:21and it's that feeling of, they're letting this game slip away from them.
23:26Kovac at the corner, perhaps more for Craig Gordon to do here.
23:30Devlin not getting enough on that bowtie.
23:35And then Penrice gets it clear.
23:41Yeah, I mean, just to echo what you were saying before, Al,
23:45you think about the sides that they've been knocked out with before,
23:48and you say, OK, moments have gone against us,
23:51we haven't been good enough.
23:53Here tonight, if Hart's don't win this game,
23:56it'll just be pure frustration,
23:59because they really should be at home,
24:04getting the crowd excited about something.
24:08Hart's fans wanted Vashulian booked for that,
24:11I'm not sure it really was a booking,
24:14the referee has warned him that one more infringement will mean a booking.
24:19He's just not very subtle about it,
24:21he's staring right at Kingsley when he backs into him.
24:28Goes to the danger area, but again,
24:31in the end it's a comfortable take for Tourdon.
24:38FULL-TIME WHISTLE
24:41Deleuze stayed down.
24:43A couple of changes coming for Hart's.
24:48Deleuze, Spital and Oda.
24:52They're gonna come on, George Grant.
24:55He'll be the first to make way.
25:07Henry Seller, clear to be replaced.
25:13There'll be a back four.
25:15Taylor right back,
25:17with Kent and Rowles at centre-half,
25:19and Kingsley's gone to left-back.
25:23Devlin, Boateng sitting in midfield.
25:28Spital, Boyce and Oda in behind Vargas.
25:31Honestly, there's not been a ball kicked,
25:33but instantly it looks like a more balanced team.
25:37Varsulian with a little flick.
25:41Managing to keep the ball in.
25:45Calvack.
25:48There's the clearance there from Varsulian.
25:50Devlin was caught late there,
25:52and the referee will bring it back for a free kick again.
25:55The home fans want a yellow card shown.
25:58I think they're also just expecting the referee to allow the game to play.
26:01I mean, that ball's rolling back to Taylor,
26:03and Oda is running in behind.
26:08I mean, I'm not even sure how much of a free kick.
26:10Anyway, you just play on.
26:12He's looking right at it, where the ball's just dropped.
26:15Oda is running in behind Kadu,
26:17with Taylor landing on the ball.
26:20Simple ball up the line and it becomes a footrace.
26:27Kingsley are asking for much of Devlin there.
26:31Spitter into the feet of Roy, so he can't hold it in.
26:44He does look like a man who's not played an awful lot of football in the last couple of seasons.
26:52Just in terms of the change back to the four, Michael,
26:56correct me if I'm wrong, but Hart's best performance of the season
26:59was here against Strangers, first game,
27:01when he played the four at the back.
27:03Taylor was excellent that day on his debut man of the match, I think.
27:06It was generally a good performance.
27:08Why did you move away from that in the first place?
27:12Well, good question.
27:14I think obviously Stephen Naismith makes a big point
27:16about how he feels that every game's different
27:19and that flexibility is important.
27:22But also continuity is so important.
27:25I think the Dens Park game, he was wanting just an extra man in the defence
27:28to bring an element of perceived security at the back,
27:33and it backfired.
27:35I struggled to say or answer why you would then look to keep doing that
27:44and not try to focus and concentrate on a back four,
27:48which I feel is better suited.
27:51There's Oda.
27:53Now Kingsley, crossing opportunity.
27:56Referees giving that Victoria Pilsen's way for a push.
28:01I'm not sure how much there was in it.
28:04I don't think there was anything in it, to be perfectly honest.
28:06You know, Liam Boyce is coming round the back post.
28:08Of course there's a coming together of players.
28:11It's football. There's got to be contact.
28:13You just watch here with Boyce and Kadu.
28:15There's nothing there.
28:17But the thing that's noticeable is the amount of extra bodies
28:20that are in the box there.
28:22Had that not been given as a free kick,
28:24you've got Cammy Devlin, who's in a dangerous area,
28:28potentially about to pick the ball up and put another one into the box.
28:53FANS SHOUT PLAYERS' NAMES
29:07Boyce doing well.
29:09Vargas taking over.
29:11Oda with the opportunity.
29:13It's a good challenge, he couldn't get the shot away.
29:15He should have, though.
29:16I mean, what a chance.
29:19Boyce sliding in.
29:21Just couldn't charge the shot, the clearance down.
29:26But one of the first opportunities for Liam Boyce
29:29to get the ball at his feet and turn with space round him.
29:32And it's no coincidence that the way the team are set up now,
29:37Oda balanced out on the right-hand side.
29:41He should have been able to get a strike away there.
29:43Kingsley's throwing.
29:44Flicked on by Rowles.
29:46Sliced away by Jamilka.
30:00Kent stayed up there.
30:01Boyce just couldn't get out of his feet.
30:05Vashulian rounds Rowles, but Vashulian recovers.
30:10And then Vashulian recovers himself.
30:20Liam Boyce's race is run.
30:24And he's going to be replaced by Yandanda.
30:27And he's applauded off.
30:31Hopefully it's not another injury for Liam Boyce,
30:35who's missed a lot of action in the last year or so.
30:42Yandanda on then.
30:46And he's got it.
30:49And he's got it.
30:51And he's got it.
30:53And he's got it.
30:55And he's got it.
31:06Here's Vashulian.
31:08A strange goal for Botein to see that out of play.
31:12And it was good play from Botein.
31:14Recognised the danger, and looked as if
31:16Vashulian would have been able to out-muscle him, but nope.
31:19Hart's midfielder,
31:21got his body in,
31:22ushers it out for the bye kick.
31:23good play there. I mean in this wee spell and it's not as if it's been outstanding
31:31but I can't actually remember Victoria Pilsen being up in hearts half
31:38attacking wise. It's been a far better structured performance since the
31:45substitutes were made. And let's get past this myth that all of a sudden playing
31:52five at the back is better defensively. This is better defensively because you're
31:56playing more of the game further forward.
31:59Here's Danda.
32:04Referee's just going to check on one of the Pilsen midfielders there, just to get a bumps chair.
32:13Kent into the feet of Oda, holds it up for a ball take and now Taylor. Oda wants it from him.
32:26Taylor tries to find it in, the keeper hasn't dealt with it. Kingsley! Denied by the
32:32keeper's foot.
32:39Oda on the stretch, can't force it back across goal.
32:45Here's the two full backs involved in the game. When did we actually ever see the
32:51two wing backs being involved like this? We didn't. Now all of a sudden you've got
32:55greater bodies further forward, a little bit of link up and combination plays
33:00happening in those wider areas as well. It's a really dangerous strike there from Taylor.
33:14And then you can hear the crowd again. Quarter of an hour for their side to
33:21find a goal that would at least force extra time. Don't go back, keep going forward.
33:31Kent, that's a poor ball. Pretty side in trouble here, Schultz.
33:35But it comes from Kami Devlin not wanting to take responsibility.
33:39Vidra, Verstuulen gets it back to Cherv. That's the killer blow, you imagine.
33:50It hurts the architects of their own downfall, giving the ball to their opponents and Cherv has punished them.
34:01Delight for the travelling fans, but dismay and disappointment for the huge home support.
34:15Well, you can look at the Frankie Kent ball there, but it all starts when Kami Devlin's
34:20got comfortable possession and wants to play back. Vidra with a mishit and Cherv through
34:28the defender's legs into the bottom corner. It's very difficult for a goalkeeper when the defender
34:34is in front of them. And then it goes through his legs into the bottom corner. It's a great
34:40strike, you've got to say from Cherv. But you said it, Al. Hurts the architects of their own downfall
34:49and disappointment and frustration. Or the overriding feeling here at Tyne Castle.
34:56This is a side who are going to end up going into the Europa League and
35:02what a missed opportunity for Hurts. Waited too long to make the substitutions
35:09and have now been punished when they've actually been on top in the game, more so than at any other
35:16point. And it's got nothing to do with lack of bodies in the defence or being cavalier in attack.
35:26It was just poor decision-making, giving the ball away.
35:32Yeah, so frustrating, dispiriting.
35:43Well, it's still time. Let's try and be positive.
35:55Yeah, you're right. I mean, I suppose the frustration and disappointment is getting
36:04the better of me there. But look, there's 13 minutes or so, plus injury time.
36:09If Hurts can get a goal quickly here, it very much is still game on.
36:17Certainly can't afford to lose another one.
36:19And it's Vidra. Finds Schulz.
36:27And out to Kadu.
36:36Straight to Taylor, who gets a little bit lucky and then Oda's giving it away.
36:44Hurts heading for a fifth straight defeat,
36:49having been by some stretch the third best team in Scotland last season. And not only that,
36:56they finished with the best points total for a third place side for many years,
37:04since Rangers in 2018, actually.
37:11But they seem to have gone back the way they started this season.
37:17Devon looking to tease that out, Kingsley gets there indirectly,
37:22his ball in, it's comfortably taken by the keeper.
37:25Well, if you just look at the recruitment in terms of what is it Hurts are trying to do,
37:32the coaching team, the management, what is it they're trying to build?
37:35You sign Spittel and Dander, they've been bit part players,
37:39and Neil's already spoken about both players at great length.
37:45There has to be a bit of an idea in your head of what it is that you're trying to put together.
37:50And then you've got to try and find the right players to get into that
37:53system to work off each other. I'm just not sure, I can't see what it is that's being built.
38:01The referees giving that against Kena Vargas for a shove on Dwayne,
38:11and it looked like it might well be a Hart's corner.
38:18Very little in that, Al, very little.
38:22And look, I appreciate that you are in the market,
38:26we're not going to get every player that you're going for,
38:28but last week after the Motherwell game,
38:32the manager was talking about how he doesn't see much business being done,
38:36and I look at the squad and I said this after the first game of the season, it's imbalanced.
38:45And if there's no activity going to be done in the last day or two,
38:51then I think the same problems are going to exist.
38:54Lack of penetration, lack of pace.
39:01Lack of real presence in the middle of the park as well.
39:16Here comes a corner from Calvack, important touch from Boateng,
39:20it's out with Kadu though.
39:25Against Havill.
39:27Gracielin rises, hacked away by Kent.
39:35That's going to make another couple of changes here, including young James Wilson,
39:42young striker, who there are high hopes for at Tyne Castle,
39:46but it's a heck of an ask for the teenager to come on and make an impact in a game like this.
39:55Danda signals where he wants Taylor to go.
40:05That's a long run, Alan Forrest, changes will happen now.
40:11Devlin on the players to make way.
40:24Kenneth Barngas also makes way.
40:42First appearance of the season for James Wilson.
40:45He's certainly a prolific striker in the lowland league,
40:57and perhaps one day will be with the Hearts first team,
41:00but with seven and a half minutes left on normal time,
41:05this is surely all about the experience for the young man.
41:15So
41:23so
41:41corner kick has been given running out of time
41:47so
41:55qualities like from these set pieces but unfortunately doesn't provide it there
42:03there's an injury as Forrest continues
42:08Cairo's who stayed down
42:10and as disappointing as it is approaching the end of the game and looking like hearts are
42:18losing the tie and then looking at the game and it was a hole and
42:22it's another game where hearts have potentially failed to score
42:31which is a big concern yeah
42:34yeah
42:37only two goals all season
42:42spittle again better delivery met though by Dwayne Forrest
42:48easily dealt with Victoria Pilsen want to put this game beyond tarts once and for all
42:54Vidra the veteran eventually Kingsley gets back and does enough he does really well
43:02lovely footwork from Vidra
43:06but Stephen Kingsley coming back in and doing enough to win the ball
43:32so
43:36so
44:01boating
44:02spittle on to Taylor
44:06tries to dink it in but it's not a very good ball or easy for any of these teammates to get onto
44:15Taylor for spittle
44:19again it's just not good enough for Max and spittle one person you could
44:23normally rely on in terms of delivery not coming up with the goods there
44:28it's almost queue for half the wheat field stand to get up and start making for the exits
44:36well for such a big game
44:40it's a big game
44:42not coming up with the goods there
44:45it's almost queue for half the wheat field stand to get up and start making for the exits
44:53well for such a big game
44:57it's been such a flat performance i've got to say i'll the crowd have never
45:01really been given anything to pin their hopes on and get excited
45:13i have heard some people make the argument that it's actually better for hearts to go
45:16into the conference league because there's more opportunity to win games than there would be in
45:21the Europa League which is clearly a higher level but personally i don't buy it well all you need
45:25to do is just look at the Europa League a couple of years ago and the the group that hearts had
45:30as i've already spoken about Fiorentina, Istanbul, Basak Shahir that's two sides that would not have
45:38been out of place in the Europa League by any stretch you want to be in there
45:45the problem hearts had that season was they had too many injuries to key players
45:50whereas now it just
45:55so disappointing there's talent in that squad there's no doubt about it but just feels like
46:03no i just i haven't seen the strategy i haven't seen the game plan of how they were going to hurt
46:11Victoria Pilsen here tonight and make no mistake about it they were there for the taking they were
46:18there to be got at you know you just think about even as a sort of standard setup you're playing
46:29against three center halves here you've got to go and try and exploit those wide areas
46:32and hearts never done that at all never really going to do it with the system they had
46:41Jamilka i'm sorry i'm just gonna say Jamilka he's not somebody that wants people
46:45running off him and down the channels he's a straightforward
46:51old school defender he wants the game in front of him he wants to be able to head it and kick
46:55and tackle he doesn't want to be getting chasing down to the byline. Havel's a little bit more
47:00athletic but equally he's not he's dropping back into there so again we spoke about that right at
47:05the get-go see if you can exploit him positionally drag him out of position didn't see any of it
47:15here's Odat approaching the final minute can hearts get back into it
47:20Spittle now stands it up but it's an easy take for the keeper the hearts fans are disgruntled to say
47:28the least the booze beginning to ring round the stadium this is the thing where you've seen right
47:35throughout the game Tordon is quite happy to be coming out and collecting cross balls
47:39it makes it even more important to be hitting the byline and getting cutbacks
47:43you do that the goalkeeper's taking out the game he can't come for the ball
47:49so
47:59you'll have noticed uh Lukasz Haider coming on for
48:02Daniel Vasculin just a few moments ago as uh Victoria Pilsen looked to shut up shop
48:20so
48:33you know some of them have stayed to the bitter end but
48:37on the whole it's been a hugely disappointing night for all involved at hearts
48:45we do still have European competition to look forward to over the next few months
48:49in the conference league but regardless of the competition they go into they'll have to be better
48:57than this could fall further behind here as Schultz tries to flash it into Vidra
49:11the draw for the conference league follows the Europa League draw tomorrow
49:20Rangers and Hearts in that draw Kilmarnock unfortunately
49:25not after their defeat on aggregate against Copenhagen
49:38Botek looking to try and slide in Wilson against a hard ball it's an iron impossible ball out you
49:44know you're trying to slide the ball in to penetrate there but it's almost like Hearts
49:48are allergic to try and penetrate in the wide areas which is where you actually want to be
49:52getting into you know as soon as you start to narrow off and go in field
49:58trying to play balls in behind it becomes all the more difficult
50:07so
50:15there's Taylor he fancies his chances again but although he tested the goalkeeper with one of
50:21those a short while ago that one is off target as uh Tom Sloncik prepares to come on in place of
50:34Pavel Schultz
50:39I do imagine we might see Pavel Schultz move on to higher level at some point 23 now
50:47perhaps not quite as influential tonight as he was in the first leg
51:04I mean that's a yellow card Jamilka has absolutely no chance of winning the ball
51:15and he just wipes Dan out that ball's dropping and he barges right in I mean
51:20the referee it's immaterial now but it's just poor refereeing
51:35Kingsley wins the header
51:41I mean seriously and he's booking Frankie Kent for for what because he spoke to
51:47Cher I mean seriously referee
51:55I mean it's literally nothing Frankie Kent I mean that is an absolute joke seriously
52:04Frankie Kent's arm touches Cher's back he holds his head it's questionable whether it's even a
52:11free kick we've just seen Jamilka wipe out Jan Dander and he doesn't even get spoken to
52:18yeah very questionable refereeing you'd have to say but uh
52:26perhaps frustrations well they're boiling over now as Taylor earns a yellow but uh
52:32as much as you can be annoyed at the referee their main frustrations have to lie within
52:44I mean ultimately Hearts have not done enough plain and simple
52:48against the opposition that were there for the taking hugely disappointing
52:53loud boos at Tynecastle as Hearts Europa League dream is ended
53:02by Victoria Pilsen not a side that you would imagine will threaten the latter stages of
53:09competition in Europe this season but certainly good enough thanks to Lukasz Cher's winner here
53:18at Tynecastle in addition to the own goal that went in in the dying seconds
53:24out in Pilsen a week ago to get past the Tynecastle side
53:33just a disappointing evening all round for Hearts didn't show enough as Michael said
53:39very little quality in the final third very little you would have to say for Marianne
53:46toured on to do in the visitors goal Pilsen definitely having the better opportunities
53:53throughout Craig Gordon denying Vaseline who had three or four good chances before Cher eventually
54:01struck to put these fans out of their misery and so it's Victoria Pilsen who celebrates
54:10post-match here at Tynecastle as it finishes Hearts 0-0, Victoria Pilsen 1-0 on aggregate
