Hello and Welcome to Episode Thirteen of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.  

In this episode Alastair and Euan start by analysing the Morton game, including what went wrong, who impressed and who struggled. They move on to integrate questions that were posed to them on Twitter, specifically focusing on certain individuals but mainly discussing how Hearts can improve their performances. They mention a formation change as the key to being more successful in the future.

They move on to talk about Robbie Neilson, following him becoming a major talking point on social media and Hearts specific fan forum sites. Is he the man to lead us forward? What do we need to do in the summer? Is the summer the perfect time for wholesale changes within the club (yes, we do this every summer transfer window). 

The final segment of today's podcast focuses more positively on the recent virtual tickets event between Heart of Midlothian and Inverness Caledonian Thistle which just shows that there is some ounce of respect between sides in Scotland. The podcast would also give our best wishes to John Robertson, the hammer of Hibs. 

Those are just the main topics as always we expand to different caveats in the always interesting club, Heart of Midlothian.

As always, we hope that you enjoy this episode. If you could give us a review on your listening method of choice (if applicable), that would be majorly appreciated as we are always looking to develop and improve.

Hello and Welcome to Episode 12 of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.

In this episode, Alastair and Euan have a lot to get through and start by reviewing that fantastic away performance in Kirkcaldy last Tuesday, where Heart of Midlothian returned to winning ways by thrashing Raith Rovers 4-0. In particular, some individual's stood out and there is a discussion around those players.

They move onto the most recent result, a differing performance in contrast to Tuesday but the same result nonetheless, winning 1-0 at Tynecastle against Dunfermline. Individual quality set Hearts apart from the Pars, with Craig Gordon and Jamie Walker impressing in particular.

The final segment of the episode focuses on the transfer business that was completed on deadline day, Monday. Hearts brought in two players and they are both briefly discussed; who they are, previous clubs, style of play and ultimately what they will bring to Heart of Midlothian football club.

In every episode, there are other little caveats that are mentioned, such as Neilson's approach to youth and Joe Savage's impact on the club.

As always we hope that you enjoy this episode. If you could give us some feedback on your listening method of choice, that would be much appreciated (if applicable).

Hello and Welcome to Episode Eleven of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.

In this episode, Alastair and Euan start by dissecting and reviewing last Saturday's extremely disappointing defeat to Raith Rovers, where Hearts lost 3-2. In particular, they assess the teams performance in the defensive phase in order to get a better understanding as to why the team are leaking goals. Specifically, the role of Craig Halkett is scrutinised as he quite often escapes a lot of criticism in comparison to Berra and Popescu.

We move on to talk about our manager Robbie Neilson, naturally after poor performances and results, the manager's future is talked about on social media and fan forum sites. We debate whether he is under pressure and whether he should be under pressure. We also discuss whether his apparent blind loyalty to certain players is hindering him, and whether the next 2 matches are must wins not just for the title push but also for his future? We end this topic by talking about the level of responsibility that the players have got to take. Are they letting him down?

The next topic of discussion is the Raith game v2, this time we travel to Kirkcaldy on Tuesday evening (tonight when uploaded). We debate what changes Robbie Neilson has to make; tactically, formation and personnel. We also give our score predictions for this must-win fixture for Heart of Midlothian.

The last main topic of this episode is the discussion of new number 9, Armand Gnanduillet (surname pronounced: Nan-Dwee-Leh). The signing only broke a couple of hours before recording this episode, but that was enough time to do an Austin MacPhee and scan through YouTube videos. We give our (very) initial thoughts on the big man and attempt to predict what he will bring to Hearts. Throughout the podcast we give our opinions on other areas of the team that are required to be improved upon before the deadline at 11pm on February the 1st. Another Joe Savage masterclass occurred during the middle of last week and we give our thoughts on Stephen Kingsley's contract extension to finish the episode.

As always, we hope you enjoy this episode. If you could give us some feedback on your listening method of choice, that would be much appreciated (if applicable).

Welcome to Episode Ten of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.

In this episode, Alastair and Euan first sit down to discuss Celtic's controversial trip (holiday) to Dubai following backlash and criticism from supporters, the media, pundits and the government. They give their opinions on the comments made by both Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell.

They then move on to reflect on a disappointing defeat at Dens Park a few weeks prior where Heart of Midlothian were beaten 3-1 by Dundee. However, they do turn their attention to the most recent match, where Hearts beat Alloa 3-1 to create a seven point gap at the top of the Championship.

What looks like to be one of the best bits of business that Hearts have done in the recent years is the arrival of Joe Savage who officially took over as Sporting Director in early January and has had a very positive start, despite only being in the job a couple of weeks.

The boys discuss a number of decisions that have been made by himself, the club and Robbie Neilson with specific focus on Michael Smith's new contract, the signing of Gary Mackay-Steven and the departure of Olly Lee. Other areas such as future transfer signings and the importance of tying Andy Irving, Josh Ginnelly and Stephen Kingsley are also highlighted in this episode.

Welcome to Episode Nine of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.

In this episode, Alastair and Euan start by briefly discussing the most recent Hearts game, a 5-3 victory at home to Ayr United. 

They then move on to talk about the main topic, last Sunday's Scottish Cup final where Heart of Midlothian agonisingly lost to Glasgow Celtic on penalties after coming back from 2-0 down and then 3-2 down. 

They move through the game in a somewhat chronological order, branching out a different moments to discuss players in more detail such as Jamie Walker, Christophe Berra, Josh Ginnelly to name a few. 

After discussing the 90 minutes, extra time and penalties they move on to create a new feature of the podcast which is known as 'Release or Renew'. This feature will likely occur in three stages of the season; right at the start, approaching January and then in April / May.

Currently, there are 9 first team players (excluding loanees) who's contracts are up on May 31st 2021. Alastair and Euan discussing all players individually, with the aim of determining whether they believe their contract should be renewed, or instead they should be released. As previously mentioned, we will do this segment all over again later on in the season, to see if our opinions have changed.

We hope you enjoy and from all of us here at Talkin Tynie, we hope you have a good New Year.

Welcome to Episode Eight of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast. 

In this episode, Alastair and Euan sit down to discuss and preview the upcoming Scottish Cup final where Heart of Midlothian take on Glasgow Celtic.

They start by fully analysing Celtic's start to the season, key players, strengths and weaknesses before attempting to predict their starting eleven for the game on Sunday.

They then turn their attention towards Hearts and firstly selecting who they would start in the final, mentioning key strengths and weaknesses, whilst most importantly debating on how we can win on Sunday based on the weaknesses of Celtic that were previously identified.

They then compare the two teams and talk about what areas of the pitch the game will be won in and also create a combined Hearts & Celtic starting eleven.

They finish this episode by mentioning other fans' opinions following a tweet by the account (@TalkinTynie) before giving their own opinions. Finally, they have a quick look at some potential betting angles for Sunday's encounter (Gamble Responsibly and 18+).

We hope you enjoy. Come on the Famous!

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.

In this episode, Alastair and Euan sit down and discuss the wider issues the club has faced following the two recent losses, in particular the defeat against Alloa in the BetFred Cup on Saturday.

They first discuss Robbie Neilson - his post match comments, his obsession with the 4231, how Hearts can improve their performances and debate his tactics.

The discussion moves on to include Hearts chairwomen Ann Budge, who frequently splits opinion in the fan base. They aim to understand why there is a perceived lack of accountability within the club and debate a question poised to them:

"Ann Budge has failed. Discuss"

Their answers lead to a chat about the clubs recruitment, as they mention every single player (136) who have played for the club under Budge's regime. They try to understand why the recruitment has been / is so badly done. They touch on the areas that Hearts should be focusing on in the upcoming January transfer window, and also look ahead to the inevitable squad rebuild next summer. They include some potential new players that they would like see join the club, and also name those who they would like to see leave.

The final main topic is the Hearts youth academy, that has a national reputation but does it not produce enough? Is there a clear pathway for youth players into the first team? Is Roger Arnott doing a good job? Have Hearts been too quick to sell / release youth players? All those questions are answered to finish episode 7.

They expand their topic of discussion to again talk about Hearts' recruitment and signing strategy before moving onto the BBC Documentary involving the club. They discuss the first two episodes (out of 3) and give their overall thoughts on the production, areas that they like and areas that they thought were irrelevant. That sparks debate when referring to chairwomen Ann Budge. 

They end this episode by giving a brief preview to both games against Alloa this week, the league game at Tynecastle on Tuesday and then Hearts travel to the Indodrill stadium for a place in the last 8 of the BetFred cup on Saturday.
