He was the only striker in the squad who didn't even make the bench that night and given how long it took for him to play for Scotland again I think it must be him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I wasn’t talking utter pish. I think it might have taken until the Wales game for Fletcher to start again and he was excellent that night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the 4-6-0 was not just terrible tactically, but also petty, spiteful & vindictive? Seems in keeping with the Levein who wouldn't loan Cowdenbeath players if he were still Hearts' manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what he said it sounds like he announced the 4-6-0 to the team and Steven Fletcher spat the dummy out and leaked it to the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I think my reflex on hearing anything about Levein at the moment is to see him in the worst possible light. You can disagree with your manager, but don't f**k over your team-mates. Or your country for that matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems in keeping with the Levein who wouldn't loan Cowdenbeath players if he were still Hearts' manager. To be fair to Levein, his statement was that Hearts Management wouldn't loan Cowdenbeath any players, not that he wouldn't. My guess is that he was probably positing what he'd do in their position, but he didn't actually say so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to find him a smart-arse during interviews, if I thought about him at all, but this appears to have developed into something more. I was always told that you get more reactionary as you get older, but I didn't think it would manifest like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher refused call-ups between the Czech game and the Wales game, and was generally a massive arsehole about it too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 They're all convinced arbitration will either reinstate Hearts or pay compensation because "it's unfair ". They don't seem to realise the arbitration is looking at the process and fairness doesn't come in to it.Only Brian McLaughlin and Kenny McIntyre are pulling them up on any of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just about to throw the radio at the wall. Usual muppets bumping their gums through ignorance. The same shite repeated week in, week out. A Jambo based one sided 'discussion'. Thank goodness for Kenny McIntyre and Brian Mclaughlin to pull them up once in a while on facts. The vast majority of Clubs voted against reconstruction and for ending the season. Can they not find someone out of all those Clubs to provide an alternative view? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Tuned out a month ago when they may as well have just replayed previous shows rather than go over the same old ground. Bring on some real news. Though are they not missing self-pleasuring themselves discussing Sevco in Europe or Celtic's 15 in a row? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
