Elixir Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Winners and those destined for the top don't get off to the sort of start Cathro did against one of your main rivals and two other utterly shan sides. Flopro IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he got assistants jobs at Valencia and Newcastle by pure fluke? How did Kris Boyd do when he left the goldfish bowl of Scottish football? All I'm saying is he deserves a chance and given time and fair play to Hearts for taking a punt but maybe the narrow mindedness of the Scottish football fan and claustrophobic media means Scotland may not be the best place for him to be given time prove himself as a head coach There's a lot of inaccurate clichés here, but this one's the most easily contestable: he's currently the Hearts manager purely because of his connections to Craig Levein. It's one of the laziest, least imaginative and least thought-through appointments I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Messi might be short but he is still ripped. It's immaterial anyway if you are actually that good. Nicholson, however, is a one-trick pony and built like a fag packet into the bargain. Invariably, people who are consistent, long-term successes are serial winners. With Kilmarnock and tubby Boyd up next, followed by Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers in the league, I can see this wee experiment being over before it has even started. Chuck in a banana skin like Raith away in the Cup in between and this next month or so has complete disaster written all over it. Loser Levein will have to go with him. Hopefully Granny Budge too once the new stand is finally up. Then we can attempt to reverse the meek, soft as shite attitude that has descended on us over the past couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that consistency in young players comes with experience? As a side: We've won 3 Scottish Cup (all relatively recently) since since 1962.........what do you expect from our Club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Shen Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The problem is last season we had a reputation (deserved or not) as cloggers - this season the evidence is that we're too lightweight. At Scottish premier league level it's hard to lure players, especially with Hearts wage structure, who can play football and dominate physically. See Gomis and Augustyn as recent examples.Now if Cathro wants to play like the first half at Dundee, every game - he's not going to be able with the current squad as it stands. He needs time.However, I do agree with Paolo in that why continue the Neilson trend of playing LB at RB, but not his tedious pish about Hearts are deid to him etc, at least give it till new year FFS- cheer up man, have some midori and poke some bird up at the street party Merry Christmas ya miserable Jambo Bastirts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're previous predictions have proved to be so far wide off the mark, after reading this I suddenly find myself filled with renewed hope for the season ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 That you still pretending you don't care about the League Cup until you win it? I quite enjoyed the last league cup final I went to It was a cracking 90 minutes and when Ryan Stevenson narrowly missed completing his hat trick with a last minute equaliser my reaction was. Oh bugger we're not going to get another 30 minutes of this game. The fact that the league cup doesn't really matter is the great thing about it. Normally watching Hearts carries a certain amount of stress and anxiety for even the most hardened of supporters but the League cup offers something a bit more serious than a friendly but less competitive than a real game. This carries over to the players. In league cup ties they sometimes even take throw ins from where the ball went out as if they were merely playing a game rather than brutally professional I like it. I'm a fan. although obviously the fact that the early rounds clash with the Edinburgh Festival means that I've usually got something better to do before the quarterfinals. I suspect I'm not alone in this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
