Saints fans begin to gather in the away section.
A regular attendee at Tynecastle which has as yet never been featured on the blog. The Dumfries Hearts flag.

Sheils snatches the win...
Back on the 29th October...
Kilmarnock claimed victory over Hearts in a pretty firey SPL meeting.
Ian Black was sent for the home side after 16 minutes for a tackle on Dean Shiels, but Hearts went on to dominate the first half.
Killie won a penalty when Marius Zaliukas felled Paul Heffernan and Shiels converted on 55 minutes.
Hearts manager Paulo Sergio was sent to the stand and the home side were unable to find an equilaiser.
No camera that day unfortunately!

Outplayed..
Rangers came to Tynecastle for a contest which Hearts never truly took part in...
Unfortunately I didn't have my phone with me so I was unable to take any photos. Not that there was much to cheer from a maroon perspective.
Steven Whittaker set up Steven Naismith's strike for the opening goal after 20 minutes.
Substitute Nikica Jelavic heaped more misery on an industrious Hearts side when he volleyed a second with 15 minutes left.
Hearts 0 - 2 Rangers

Lennon returns...
Celtic came to Tynecastle on Saturday the 2nd of October in what was Neil Lennon's first visit to the Tynecastle dugout since the infamous assault...sorry breach of the peace performed on him last season.
The atmosphere was it's useful combustive self and the game was truly a cracker.
Rudi Skacel and Ryan Stevenson were on target as Hearts moved up to fourth place in the Scottish Premier League with a win over 10-man Celtic.
Fifty-eight minutes into the contest, Skacel drilled in a great strike from 16 yards.
Celtic then had midfielder Kris Commons sent off for an ugly, late challenge on Adrian Mrowiec.
Hearts sealed the points when Stevenson picked up a clever back-heel from David Templeton to crash home a shot.
A selection of photos are shown below. Most of them came after the final whistle as quite frankly I was too busy going mental during the match itself!

Looking toward the away end. note the gaps in the corners following the trouble of last season.

Saints Alive...
Yeah I know, probably the worst title yet, but in my attempt to bring the blog up to date, here are a few pictures from the Hearts v St Mirren game back on the 17th September 2011...
This was a pretty decent game with both sides playing some fairly attractive football. St Mirren appear to be undergoing something of a renaissance in the regard and Danny Lennon appears to be putting an emphasis on trying to play football the right way.
That said though, Hearts plugged away at them and eventually prevailed winning the game 2-0. Jamie Hamill converted from the spot two minutes before the break after Illias Haddad fouled Marius Zaliukas in the penalty area.
Hearts then doubled their lead in the second half when Lee Mair dived to head the ball into his own net.

A Quiet Sunday afternoon...
After the 'European' trip down to London. Hearts were straight back into domestic action with an Edinburgh derby.
It was an unusual change from the norm for me, having accepted the Hearts of Midlothian Supporter’s Trust’s kind invitation to watch the action from the directors’ box. The trust receives invites to the directors’ suite on several occasions each season and extended these invitations to a couple of members.
The atmosphere in the suite was relaxed and cordial pre-match and we were well looked after thanks to the food on offer, not to mention the complimentary bar. Disappointingly Vladimir Romanov was not present for the afternoon, however, one of his directors Vitalijus Vasiliauskas was on hand to greet his Hibernian counterparts and we were able to have an interesting chat with David Southern, the Managing Director of the club.
The game itself started of as the usual high tempo, fairly nervous affair, but Hearts managed to take complete control of proceedings and run out as comfortable 2-0 winners. The Hibernian directors around me sat quietly for the most part, but seemed fairly crestfallen by their team’s lack of competitive edge in what is normally a close contest and one which rarely correlates to current league standings.
The guest that I was with commented that the score line could have been much greater in Hearts favour and that he hadn’t expected the contest to be so straight forward. At the risk of gloating, most supporters of a maroon persuasion would have had to agree.
Hearts 2-0 Hibernian FT

Some of these aren't great. I thought I'd just post them up regardless.
