D'Jaffo Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Is he a dreadful manager? With Levein pulling the strings and that all finally coming to a head now I'm not totally sure. Depends how many of the signings he was responsible for really. Robbie Neilson previously said a lot of the players he wanted he was able to get so I’d imagine Cathro would’ve been responsible for some of the dross that was also picked up. Obviously though I think it got much worse when Levein got the managers job. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him being a poor manager when he can say he’s an assistant coach in the EPL. One of the best managers in the last 20 years really rated his coaching so I don’t think he should be too arsed with how it went at Hearts considering how much of a shambles they are off the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I f*cking love Mick McArdle's laptop and any reference I make to it should not be construed as a dig. Stevenson had a dig at him on radio Scotland one night, said McCall talked a player in to quitting Uni because he had a real chance at going Pro. He said McCall had no interest in the players life, just a short term fix and the thing that annoyed him most was that McCall never even played him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Fwiw I wasn't having a dig. Just making a wee probably shite joke that whilst we're playing he'll be handling business.If you go back quite alot of pages you'll see im a massive advocate of data analysis, citing the Brentford model on more than one occasion of a success story on a grand scale. If you saw what he uses the laptop for you might have a different opinion, the players love the information it gives them on everything they do in training and during matches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah fair enough. There are a few ex players (and a couple current) who aren’t the biggest fans of McCall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he was doing accounts at uni and couldn’t do both Uni and FT football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I guess I’m in the minority that’s sorry to see McGuffie go. Definitely had something and I was hoping he could get a run of games when Forrest goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I’m a bit disappointed he’s going as well. At the start of the season I was worried that we’d have to rely on him too much. In the end up he barely played but when he did looked like a decent enough option. Shame really. Think a loan would have been better for the club but maybe he’d just had enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's obviously not done enough in training so that's what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 My only problem with McArdle’s laptop is that it’s 2020 and he should be using a tablet by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Tbf although he never fully became a regular for us he did score the best ever Ayr goal I’ve seen in the flesh and was a part of our first title winning squad in 20 years so he’s made a bigger contribution than most. Really hope he gets the right club and kicks on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were two goals against Falkirk and I missed both of them. The one I remember missing was the Scottish Cup one but there was another game we absolutely battered them at Somerset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Those were good goals, but Ryan Stevenson probably has the top five to himself in terms of long range beauties. Stole more than one game with them. Personally I’d also give a vote to Gary Teale’s mazy run from halfway and tight angled finish against Albion Rovers in the 1999 Scottish cup qf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
