After receiving 11 red cards last term, the Tynie side were hit with the massive bill by the SFA who issued Hearts with a £40,000 fine last season for poor discipline the season before!
There is also a further £10,000 suspended until January depending on Hearts behaviour which didn't get off to a good start when Club captain Michael Stewart was dismissed during the 2-0 defeat by Dundee United on the first game of the season on Monday!
Have the beeks got it in for the Jambo's? Who knows? Vladimir Romanov and his outspoken comments (sometime true) have angered the powers that be in Scotland. As a result there could be a conspiracy that refs have got it in for the Jam Tarts, but that's not for us to say.
If the players needed to keep a cool head on the pitch, it's now. Can we afford to splash out thousands of pounds on fines?!
Back to Europe! Dinamo Zagreb coach Krunoslav Jurcic has told media in Croatia that he expects the field the same starting eleven who defeated Osijek 5-0 on Sunday. Robert Kovac is injured and Dejan Lovern is supended, but Jurcic believes his side have the quality to defeat Hearts tomorrow night.
Ian Black has stated the Jambo's need to put the defeat by Dundee United behind them and get on with the job in hand against Zagreb. The fiery midfielder, snapped up from Inverness Caley, came on as a sub on Monday and hopes his new team mates can lift themselves in the cauldron atmosphere of the Maksimir Stadium.
Speaking of which the ground has been resurfaced after the recent U2 gigs by rhe team behind laying the new Real Madrid turf.
If it's good enough for the Galactico's, it's good enough for us!
