Celtic v Hearts Wednesday 12th Feb
Eric replied to Romeo's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I'm a bit worried if we do play the high press. I could work but we could also end up getting pumped, no real change through there I guess. It works at Tynecastle on the tighter pitch but at Parkhead there is so much more space for Celtic to play. I also don't think we're good enough yet to stop them getting past the initial high press and once they do we are wide open. Not to mention we can get caught out by one ball over the top. We need Celtic to have an off day and force them into mistakes, even then we will probably concede a few. -
Hearts v Killie 5th Feb
Eric replied to Ocular Patdown Required's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Zamal has to start for me. He may drop the odd clanger but at least he actually makes saves. I'd love(I'd probably cry though) to see the percentage of shots on target vs goals scored into Periera as he never makes saves and balls just go through him, under him, palms them in or just jumps out of the way. -

Yeah he kind of went the opposite way of players who don't celebrate against their old teams. -

Some do some don't. Obviously signing for Celtic was a big factor but most people understood it as he had been out of the game for a while and got a decent opportunity. When he came back and played against us though a lot of people didn't like the way he acted. Getting involved in a lot of gamesmanship and noising a lot of people up. Probably just trying to show them that it didn't matter that they we're playing Heats and he was committed to Celtic. To us it seemed like he was one of them now. I'd imagine most(including me) would take him back in a heartbeat and all would be forgiven. -

Yes!! He's a Hearts man and while he might be disappointing in the way Stendel has treated him he won't hold that against the club and try to hinder them by sitting about and picking up a wage for nothing. He is also well off from his time in England and won't be short of a bob or two. If he wants to play football it will probably be the only option available to him. -

Would any papers even care about a St Mirren player to interview them??? I can't imagine Jim White calling up Jim Goodwin(or whoever your captain was then) and asking him to come on talksport and give his views on why he was axed at St Mirren. -

Option 2 is the most likely. -

No definitely not but by his comments it didn't sound like he was ready to hang up his boots. -

Eric replied to Jambo Stu's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I agree, less teams will be in for him but I don't think he's the kind of guy to hang about if he's not wanted. I'd imagine he'd either take a modest pay off or drop down a level if he's desperate to play. -

Eric replied to Jambo Stu's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Sounds like it's a good deal that suits both parties. He'll be desperate to play so he can play for Ireland and we're very happy to get rid. -

Spot on mate. The Hearts fans are delighted with how this season has gone. We have 100% record in derbies so we must be. -

I get what you're saying but there is an endless list of managers who do know Scottish football that have been complete failures. Recently in Scottish football Heckingbottom hasn't worked out but you could look at Alessio at Killie and say he's been a reasonable success so far. I don't think it's fair to judge a new manager based on how another manager who happens to be from the same club performed. but yes you could say it's a bit of gamble but no more so that any of the other well know faces that were being touted for the job. I'd say this is a reasonable assessment. While there are probably more failures that successes, the same scrutiny isn't put on Scottish managers. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/premiership/judging-every-foreign-manager-in-scottish-football-history-1-4387149 -

Anyone who thinks betting odds are actually an indication of which manager will be employed needs an education on how betting works -
The P45 Edinburgh Derby
Eric replied to AberdeenHibee's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
To be fair there was a lot of hype around him before that goal. Maybe you just missed it. Talk of Man City being interested and rave reviews in the cup final against Celtic. Obviously this will add to it.
