Gianfranco Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This Connor Shields seems to be scoring a lot. Is he tied up for next season anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I note that the "impartial" team for todays match is - Paul Mitchell - Jambo Alan Preston - converted from a Rangers fan to a Jambo Craig Levein - Jambo Brian McGlaughlin - Jambo I was really enjoying Biscuits salty tears earlier, but have switched on Hearts tv feed for the full comedy show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a season for Goodwin at Alloa, and there was talk earlier in the season that he was one we had identified as a signing target for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston was certainly raging, but it’s kind of expected from someone in his role, and everyone knows his history and where his sympathies lie. I’m not sure if I knew McLaughlin was a Jambo before today but I’d certainly worked it out after listening to him for 2 minutes today. Seething doesn’t cover it! Not terribly professional for someone who should really be neutral. And they’ve all changed their tune big time from the start of the season. After Hearts pumped Dundee at the start of the season they were all purring over how good Neilson was and how that squad would be challenging for a European place in the top flight. Now half of them want Neilson gone and it’s unanimous that the players aren’t good enough - Biscuits was calling for 14 new players in over the summer, because this lot suddenly aren’t up to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one he called a sellable asset scored the winner though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Biscuits or someone else (was only half listening) said Hearts had signed about 70 players in the last few years and now he wants 14 new ones... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 A few weeks ago Michael Stewart was on Sportsound saying this Hearts team would be comfortably top half. Seems to have changed his tune too. Neilsen certainly gets an easier ride from Stewart than Levein did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 90+ players since Budge bought them 7 years ago - which is about a third more than the likes of Hibs have signed in that period (quite a good comparison as both clubs were relegated and had to bin a load /sign an entire squad in the relegation / promotion seasons) Who would have thought that an agent would be touting that a club should turn over players.................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Alex McLeish doesn't think it is a must win game either. He also managed to crowbar in a reference to Rangers and Celtic. Wonder why it went wrong from him as Scotland manager last time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Alex McLeish right now - fucking hell. He referred to a last minute win in Israel in his playing days, that was clearly the Cyprus game. He also thinks we've been drawn alongside Israel in this World Cup group because we're at their level. They'd honestly be better interviewing my cat. At least she wouldn't pretend to have a clue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both McCall & McLeish illustrate with mind numbing clarity just why ex-players and ex-managers should not be pundits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 He's probably mixed it up with the Nations League group where that is roughly how the seeding works. I'm reluctant to blame McLeish here, but rather whoever keeps booking a man who is clearly not operating at 100%. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought it to the table though with regard to tonight, saying "in terms of where our status has been in the last few years we're obviously grouped with Israel for a reason, because of our UEFA standings". He went on to say "If we can win this game... maybe our ranking will rise to a level where we're playing different teams" He is genuinely confused about it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more to be pitied than despised here, but it pisses me off that he gets lined up to offer his expertise for the benefit of the rest of us. It's ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a strange need to rationalise how someones comes to such daft opinions but hat makes more sense. And agree, fairly irresponsible to continue giving him the platform he gets. Not doing anyone any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
