  1. Lowry was shite and grant was not good against rangers, he passed the buck or ****** it up, nothing more
  2. 1-0 and defend was not going to work with our current set-up Well done sheep for digging out the win, but you're still shite and you know you are
  3. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/cammy-devlin-injury-blow-for-hearts-latest-on-liam-boyce-goals-issue-addressed-ahead-of-aberdeen-trip-4437840 Cammy Devlin injury blow for Hearts, latest on Liam Boyce, goals issue addressed ahead of Aberdeen trip Australian midfielder is set for a spell on the sidelines Hearts have been dealt an injury blow with the news that midfielder Cammy Devlin will be missing until potentially after the winter break. He is expected to miss around a month of football with an ankle injury that is worse than first thought, which could take him into January's three-week Premiership hiatus. The 25-year-old underwent a scan which showed damage in the area and medical staff say he will be out for around four weeks. Hearts travel to Aberdeen on Saturday without him, but striker Liam Boyce has an outside chance of recovering from a leg knock in time. “Friday will be a big day for Boycie, we will wait and see. It’s a race against time," admitted Steven Naismith, the Hearts head coach. "Cammy got a scan as a precaution. There’s more damage than he was feeling the day after he came back in, so he is looking at being a month." Naismith welcomed four experienced figures back into his squad for Wednesday night's meeting with Rangers - Craig Gordon, Craig Halkett, Barrie McKay and Nathaniel Atkinson. Their return from injury immediately strengthens competition. "It’s good. Probably, subconsciously, it raises the quality in training," said Naismith. "Players will be trying to work out the squad, who’s available, how many get into the squad, who am I vying for to be in the squad? It definitely brings that laser focus for each individual." He is also ready to become unpopular when leaving certain players out. "That’s part of it! I’ve had to deal with that recently. You just have to be honest," he said. "These decisions are not personal. It’s a footballing decision and I’m very clear that week-to-week it could change. Gone are the days of rolling out the same team all the time and that gets you your win. That plays a part to build momentum but the tactics involved in the games are so refined that small margins make big differences. "We put Nat Atkinson back in from the start against Rangers. It was a big ask but he’s got good experience and the opportunity to go more offensive at half-time gave us that leeway to take him back out. It was a good 45 minutes to build him up. Alex Lowry comes back into the squad. It’s competition but this game is different. We’ve played Aberdeen twice since I’ve been in charge and had two good results playing a different shape." After their four-game winning Premiership run was ended by Rangers, the Hearts management team must decide whether to continue with a three-man defence or change to a four at Pittodrie. At the other end of the pitch, only St Johnstone and Livingston have scored less league goals than Hearts this season. However, the Edinburgh club sit third in the table. "I feel we have created good chances in a lot of games but just not scored," said Naismith. "On Wednesday we had a couple of opportunities where we should have made an extra pass, or somebody takes too many touches to get their shot off. "When I first took over, we were good at getting shots off and taking chances. We want to do that but I’m pretty comfortable with that because I think we have players here who can score goals and are sharp enough around the box to score goals. As long as we keep winning, that will click into action at some point."
  4. Same ref as we had at home to livi; he was a pain in the arse for the home team in that game, IIRC
  5. Largely agree with that, as the shite, the sheep and the midden were despatched We still need better movement and if we're 1 down then the forward pass should be the absolute default setting as the risk of 0-2 versus 1-1 makes no difference to the outcome collum is a welt and exhibits the same behaviour as beaton does when refereeing a mhank match, i.e. not letting the mask slip; utter welt We're not good enough at shooting on sight either; just ******* hit it as best you can; it'll come to nothing anyway if you don't
  6. I think Clark was a bit inspired by the fact that Gordon was there and if he let a second in then Gordon was going to be deployed instantly
  7. Well done to the lads and lassies that made the trip through
  8. I think a win at pittodrie would have made quite an impression given our recent record there
  9. Remember that game, remember the plane, but didn't see the banner on it at the time
  10. This is a definite difference and we have reverted to 3 at the back because of personnel available Kind of resetting it back to what the players are accustomed to in order to evolve it from there; it's too much just now to add new players and new system and when more new players come in it'll be simpler to change shape etc
  11. 319 minutes since we conceded a goal in open play, outwith the uglies Better, not bad
  12. Seems quite odd that jonnies fans, a team I believe have also had no penalties in the League thus far also, reckon that penalty claim was quite arguable Since start of season and indeed January's end, we've had F all from VAR where penalties are concerned We should've had 2 just before HT at home to killie, a goal line clearance in paisley ignored, another handball in the same game, a complete and utter defensive dive and basically assault on Boyce at home to livi and now this one; many others against OF opposition probably forgotten amongst others; oh, 2 at Motherwell too We actually wonder if the system is on; they don't give a **** if it isn't for OF teams now, they can't be arsed Last year, about 9 penalties by this time, this year, 0
