Francis Albert Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Nothing to see here. You can argue about who has the stronger squad but that's a matter of opinion and won't be proven one way or another until the league is won. Maybe even not then if you factor in the impact of the manager and coaching staff and other extraneous factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Too right, he even goes on to talk about Kilmarnock! You'd think it was some kind of advert for an upcoming Rangers Kilmarnock game or something and not an editorial about Hearts. Nothing particularly controversial. The Rangers can still win the league. So can H1B5. Neither of them will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richfish23 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 is Terry not allowed to express an opinion (he is a pundit no less) unless he agree's with you!?!? Grow up.... If you had taken the time to read the thread you would have seen I admitted it was a bit of an overreaction to say I lost all respect. I wrote it in the heat of the moment when I felt surprised he didn't have one positive thing to say about Hearts. He was just sure that "Rangers are the stronger squad and Hearts will dip." Sure he can have an opinion, I'm just gutted that a favourite player of mine was so sure that Hearts wouldn't be able to maintain this great form we've been in.

jambobby Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 No doubt it's true that they can catch us. My problem with him is he's a bitter wee man, at the start of the season his thinking was Levein only brought Robbie in to take the flak when it all went wrong and CL would eventually step into the dugout. He seems desperate for that to come true, think there's a lot of jealousy there when Robbie got the job and he's still putting the cones out for Jefferies. Obviously there's the old pals act with Locke, brown etc too. **** him, gonna be a lot of egg on a lot of faces come may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You know what is getting on my nerves is people saying about dips in form and injuries. Correct me if I am wrong but Rangers will also get injuries and suspensions or are they immune to these and its only Hearts that get "injuries and suspensions" For example the boy Mcleod has been a talisman for them this season his form has dipped recently and that coincedes with Rangers form dipping. Anyway rant over and ram it Neil Mccann. No, sorry but you are wrong. I've now seen heaps of "experts" say that we are the only club who will have injuries, suspensions and whose form will dip. Doesn't seem fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Rom?n Riquelme Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Of course they can win the title. 9 points at this stage is a good lead but we've got traditionally the toughest period of the season still to negotiate. Don't know how you can lose 'all respect' for someone when they give an honest and pretty mild opinion on football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yet to hear from any pundit who predicts Rangers form will dip, or even that Hibs\Queen of the South will suffer from a form dip. All of these teams apparently have men made from iron, as none of them are going to suffer from injuries either. Hearts will of course suffer both.

Riccarton3 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The biggest concern for Hearts is the officials. Not the opposition teams but the actual officials, in respect of how they go about refereeing both Hearts and rangers matches. I would wager none of our current officials are up t the task in hand as witnessed on Saturday when apparently one if our top ones bottled decision after decision.

the sub goalie Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The 'pundits' are desperate for the Rangers to be promoted so they have the old firm fixture back. When you look at what we have achieved recently with the take over, sell out games, a young and exciting team and young forward thinking coach implenting new training strategies it is a breath of fresh air in the scottish game. Sure, the media will always focus and mostly pander to the old firm, but you know what, stuff them. I stopped buying papers in the summer and I have not missed our resident 'experts' opinion one little bit. let them spout their rubbish while Robbie and Craig keep the team focussed, motivated and winning games.

It's all a bit lazy really, they aren't really watching us at all. Happy to continue to sail under their radar, brimming with confidence, superior organisation, superior players.

rudi Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Of course they could still win the league and he like others are correct they do have the strongest squad in the division but as I've said before fortunately they have fat salary, ahem, coaching/managing them and IMO they won't win feck all with him in charge, long may that continue.

Jamhammer Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Rangers COULD still win the league. They won't but they could. Former Rankgers player bigging them up shock. I hope everyone connected to them maintains that they are good enough, as is to catch us and win the league. I hope they carry on with this "better squad, injureez and sushpenshuns" nonsense.

RealMaroonCF Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Pant wetting extraordinaire on here for nothing. Let's get this straight, Neil is on sky sports because he was a rangers player. He been asked an opinion with 22 games to go! He would look a right clown saying 'no I don't think they have a chance' What he wasn't asked is 'who do you think will win the league'. I now understand why people can't get over Elvis when I see the reactions on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getintaethem Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Neil went down in my estimations when he started spouting the "Robbie's just Levien's puppet" pish before the game at Ibrox. I don't agree with his opinion that Rangers have the better squad. One of my favourite players and normally a good pundit, but he's been full of p1ss and wind this season.

scott herbertson Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Did Ann actually say it's not critical to win the league? I really wish she wouldn't say things like this. The fight from the team may slowly dissappear if they hear the powers that be say they're not expected to win the league and not win every game.

Flankengott Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 He works with Sky. Sky have been cheerleaders for Rangers for the last couple of seasons, supporting their campaign to get into the top league. Sky want Celtic v Rangers games (advertising revenue?), so like to publish anything that pushes the idea of Rangers as something big. Neil's toeing the Sky party line I suspect. In any case its no big deal if he thinks Rangers can win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootzilla Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 They're entitled to their opinion but what John Brown, Derek Ferguson, Niel McCann etc. think or say is irrelevant to what will happen in the league. They'll catch us because they have a stronger squad and we'll have a duff spell...... well that's just a guess, it jus tells us what they actually hope will happen. All that assumes they don't have a duff spell themselves, lose important players to injury - they're older so might be more likely - or have to sell their best players in January because they're in a mess financially - that's all speculation too. The FACTS are - they have a more expensive squad, an older squad, are arranging loans to keep the club going, are nine points behind and I don't care what ex or current Rangers players say.

The number of points still to play for would back up the fact The Rangers can still win the league. Did he say The Rangers will win the league, not as far as I can see, because that isn't a statement anyone could make with confidence. I was reading something on here just the other night where people were getting upset because Robbie Neilson was speaking about last weekend's game in a very diplomatic manner, and not being drawn into saying anything rash. Are these type of threads symptomatic of what happens to HMFC fans when things are going well, some just start looking for anything to pick up on and react to.
