    "He played for my club in Australia (Melbourne Victory) off the back of his time in Switzerland and was pretty poor.

    Before the World Cup in 2014 (where he played against Spain and the Dutch) he played as a 10 and was pretty good - I thought he was exceptional in the game against the Dutch. Since then he's never found his groove, played as a 6, 8 and 10 and didn't look comfortable in any position and seemed to lose all attacking instinct, a LOT of sideways and backwards passing.

    If he can recapture that 2014 form it'll be a quality signing, if he can't, it will be incredibly frustrating and really offer nothing."

    Actually quite looking forward to seeing just how appalling we will be this season.

    It's got to be Stranger Things. The 80s vibe, the kids and Winona Ryder's acting make this a must see.

    Series 1 of Dark was really good(Netflix's first German drama) but I hate dubbing.

    And I need to watch more of Samurai Gourmet, completely different but every episode makes my mouth water.

    You can watch it in German with subtitles by changing the settings.

    Why are Hearts fans so shocked by this? Did you honestly think the purse strings would be loosened to sign better players for next season?

    What the f**k are you on about? Having a tighter budget doesn't mean you need to hastily fill the squad up with shite on long term deals. Unless these guys miraculously turn out to be any good, this is shaping up to be the worst transfer window I can ever remember.

    By the time we start to see the financial benefits of the new stand our budget will already be hamstrung by having all these huddies weighing us down.

  4. I'm normally an optimistic person and I like to think I take a pretty balanced view but, f**k me, just look at the nick of the absolute dross we've signed. 

    MacLean - 36 and probably finished - 2 year deal.

    Ikpeazu - it takes about 10 seconds of footage to see he's an absolute huddy - 2 year deal.

    Burns - actually seems quite promising.

    Lee - might be okay but any League Two player is a bit of a punt - 3 year deal.

    Mulraney - can't  get a game for a midtable  Championship team - 2 year deal.

    Garuccio - a left-back who "can't defend" in a diddy league - 3 year deal.

    Zlamal - journeyman keeper who couldn't get a regular game at any of his previous clubs - 3 year deal. 

    That's at least 12 years' wages tied up in players who, I'm willing to bet, we'll be trying to get rid of by this time next year. And it's not even June yet.

    It's unbelievable that Levein and Murray have been given another transfer window. Next season is already fucked.

    Utterly desperate.

    I hope the few non racist fans at Tynecastle will be identifying those responsible.

     

    I'm afraid to say that your history as an apologist for racists reveals all your posts on this topic to be motivated by shamelessly opportunistic point-scoring and thus completely undermines them. It's a shame that someone would try to cheapen the discussion of a serious issue in this way.

    I agree with your second point, notwithstanding the fact it comes from a place of one-upmanship rather than genuine concern. The attitude that some Hearts fans have towards black players is a disgrace. Fortunately, blatant racist abuse is heard relatively rarely (in my experience) but the subtler stuff (black players disproportionately being accused of being lazy, being unfairly compared to  other black players etc.) is more widespread and there's a long way to go before we can say that Scottish football doesn't have a problem with racism.

  6. If anyone is wondering where they can read Romeo's withering criticism of Aleksandar Tonev, here it is:

    According to Logan.

    Did the tribunal hear Tonev say it?

     

    On 16/12/2014 at 15:27, Romeo said:

    So only Logan then. Just double checking.

     

    On 16/12/2014 at 15:47, Romeo said:

    I'm pointing out that no one heard Tonev other than Logan. No implications, merely stating a fact.

    Now, what are you implying?

    Be specific.

    According to Logan, yes.

    Sweep sweep.

    Scott Wilson announced at full time that we were into the quarterfinals for the first Time since 2012

    He didn’t mention that Partick in 2012 in turn was our first quarterfinal since 2006



    The last time we got to a quarter final and didn’t win the Cup was Livingston in 2005 when we went on to lose the John Paul II memorial semifinal to Celtic

    We haven’t lost a quarter final since Parkhead 2001 and Ibrox 2000

    The last time we lost a quarter final with a home draw was 1985 vs Aberdeen a late Eric Black goal at Tynecastle earned Alex Ferguson’s side a replay at Pittodrie which they won. A 20 year old defender called Craig Levein played in the replay

    We haven’t lost a quarter final at Tynecastle, on the day, since St Mirren in 1961
     

    Partick was 2006. We played St Mirren in 2012.

    Is it whatsboutary, or are we just pointing out hypocrisy?

    "Protection" in this context presumably involves referees discouraging aggressive challenges by adequately punishing them, thereby "protecting" the potential recipients of these challenges. By saying that players should be protected against Scott Brown, he's essentially saying that Brown doesn't pick up as many cards as he should.

    Pointing out Hearts' card count is irrelevant because this shows, if anything, that referees are punishing poor challenges by our players.

    The Graeme Hogg incident would only be hypocritical if Levein thought punching another player didn't warrant punishment.

    Whataboutery.

    As far as this Marcus Haber thing is concerned, I've always quite liked his hustle whenever I've seen him, which hasn't been much, tbh - however, he'll never get you a goal, in which case I hope we get someone else. 
    Happy enough with the midfielder, based on next to fuckall. 

    Not sure if that'll happen with the recall of Conner from Partick Thistle

    We haven't recalled him.

    Sounds like Haber is very much a back-up option, thankfully.
