Former Hearts player for TOP PLAYER OF 2011 IN BULGARIA

[Drylaw Hearts]

Yes.

 

Hang on....

 

We 'unearthed' a 22 year old guy who played 40 times for Universidad Chile before moving to Inter Milan, Chievo, Sporting Lisbon and Racing Santander?

 

Great new talent ?

 

Really ?

[Johanes de Silentio]

I can get thread as well if i prompt my brother to post some pish on here.

 

Please do this.

 

Happy to hear that Branny is doing well!

[Dinger]

I am raging that I had to read through 2 pages and then post this!

All the best BG. Wonder how Copil is getting on?

 

is copil the wee guy that went awol yea?

[Moriarty]

I was under the impression he was playing at a pretty shite level. How has me managed to get on this list?

[Dik Mar Van Nostrilboy]

Why was he punted anyway?

 

Wheres copil these days?

Yes, although it wasn't news to you, though, was it? You, an oracle of world football, were very much aware of the global superstar who'd racked up a grand total of 45 appearances and 6 goals for 5 different European clubs before he came to Tynecastle.

Yeah, the Romanian guy. It's a pity how it turned out. Both players were billed as wonderkids by the media and neither even did much in the U19s according to reports on here at the time. Rapnik went the same way although he at least made the bench a few times and seems to have been a decent player in the U19s.

 

In some ways I miss the period when we were signing these foreign players and dreaming that they were going to be amazing. Pity that post-Burley many turned out more to be more like Beslija and Pinilla (in terms of what he contributed, not his aility) than Skacel and Fyssas.

I think that once we get off the Romanov roller coaster and descend to the accepted mediocrity of the rest of the SPL, we'll probably long for such days.

Thanks, Svet, for sharing the update on Branny - please pass on our best wishes to your brother

[Buffalo Bill]

It's a forum relating to any football subject so I have no problem with Branny's proud big brother relating news which could open up further discussion of his time at Hearts, youth football in general and football in Bulgaria. Some very bitter people on here.

[Drylaw Hearts]

Whilst he wasn't exactly a global superstar he was most definitely not the 'great new talent' as described by FA.

[the general]

TOP 6 AT THE MOMMENT:

 

1. BERBATOV (MU)

2. S.PETROV (A.VILLA)

3. N.MIHAILOV (TWENTE)

4. GADHZEV (LEVSKI)

5. YOVOV (LEVSKI)

6. BRANIMIR KOSTADINOV (BOTEV, VRATSA)

Thanks for the update mate

I for one am interested in how his career goes! always wanted him to make it here

[Francis Albert]

Whilst he wasn't exactly a global superstar he was most definitely not the 'great new talent' as described by FA.

 

 

Try reading my post again. I didn't say he was "a great new talent". I referred back to the days when we dreamt of unearthing great new talents. Alas none of the players I mentioned fulfilled that dream, which is why I referred to it as a dream not the reality. Maybe you were one of the small minority on here who weren't excited about these prospects, in which case, obviously, feel free to exclude yourself from the "we".

 

As for your opinion that, in the event that the dream had come true, Pinilla would not have been a "great new talent", then he would certainly have been new to me, to Hearts and to Scotland.

[Nookie Bear]

This Branny sounds alright......worth a punt?

 

I have no problem with these threads and they beat someone posting yet another list of players out of contract

 

 

[Rudi's Left Peg]

He was decent in football manager a couple of years ago.

He even had his own website...yet Jamie Mole got a start for a whole season ahead of him.

 

Must have been poor.

[Denny Crane]

I mean no harm to either Kostadinov sibling. I wish them health, long life and hope their first born is a son. However, let's be absolutely clear, this lad was given a golden opportunity and he blew it.

 

I care little how his football career goes and wouldn't mind if we never heard of him on this forum again.

 

If memory serves me right, wasn't there a thread a few years back from Branny's brother moaning at how Branny's "Human rights" were being abused because Hearts tried to loan him out to Cowdenbeath and also expected him like all the other youth team players to clean boots, sweep the floor, etc like so many pros had done before them? That suggested to me that this lad wouldn't cut it here.

[Armageddon]

Some shite patter on this thread.

exactly - says Non HMFC on the thread title too FFS.

 

Beats the top thread currently where hearts fans are referring to Arsenal as 'us'

I recall reading that story but have no idea whether or not there was merit in it.

I'm not sure about the 'human rights' violation bit but I do remember BG complaining about Branny's displeasure at Hearts' proposal to loan him out to Cowden.

 

 

In fact, plenty of folk, myself included, advised Branny's brother to encourage him to take the loan move because the people at Cowdenbeath would've taken good care of him and probably made him a better player to be equipped for the Scottish league.

[Poseidon]

I voted for ?????? ????? as his name sounded like the Hungarian for ejaculation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, almost forgot to about that wage thief Branny

Xpuncto is 5th with 89 votes, Branny 6th with 83. ??????? ???????? top with nearly 1,000

Juanjo also refused to go to Cowdenbeath on loan, didn't he?

[jamboBG]

I'm here again. Thank you for good words guys. Good words for my brother. The fact that his team is 12th now and he is 6th at the momment rankingis great. But fans of Botev like him.

 

For another who heat my posts - thank you too. I'm old member here and sume times I post sumething for Branny.

 

Because evry given week i look what a hapaned with Hearts. This make any given week Branny too, Amngel Chervenkov (the coach) too, doctor Yakimov too. Because we saved the spirit of Hearts in our hearts. I know that many people don't like this, but this is situation.

 

I repeat - I don't make any promotion. Out of another, we have minimum two resons:

 

1. He have not easy price for Hearts in contract (untill June 2012);

2. Work permit - no chance under restrictions for bulgarian and romanians.

 

Finaly: People on board ask me for Dumitru Copil. I don't know nothig. I'm maked attempts for contact with him in Faceboock, but..Nothing for Rapnik min. one year too. The guys are from diferent contrys and...

 

Greetings from me!

[bighusref]

FA, don't waste your time with that tosspot!

 

Love this. How very Christian of you. Turn the other cheek, Colin.

[Gigolo-Aunt]

Probably not the thread to break this news on, but I have just been appointed the Sporting Technical Director at Sampdoria on a lucrative 3 year contract.

 

Don't have a fecking clue what the job entails, but by good I will silence the boo boys and give it my best go.

Was it just me who read this post in a bulgarian/borat voice?

 

All the best to branny in the future, thanks for the updates.

Looks like the competition just got better!

[JamboAberdeen]

Thanks jamboBG for update.

 

Wiki page says he played 11 game with 3 goals this season.

Not bad figure for a young striker right?

 

Good luck!

[jamboBG]

Good luck!

 

14 games, 4 goals (top scorer, team have 12 goals - small team with not experianced playes), 1 game injury. The team 10th place from 16 squads. Average age of the team 23. Exellent dress room. He scored against important teams here - Slavia, Litex, CSKA. teresting from statistics is that this small town (65 000) is on 1st place in ranking for supporters. Before all our grands. The people love the team. Thay are together after victorys and after losses. This working optimistical for the players.

 

Thanks

[Chaka Demus & pliers]

I'm also interested so keep us updated BG

[Big Team]

I really do feckin despair at this board sometimes.

 

What an embarrassment.

 

The lad is telling us about how a former hearts player is doing. ok, so he was "just" a youth player, but the club did make a big deal of promoting him at the time and he attracted a lot of interest as a result.

 

No need for totally slating the lad - he never did anything to deserve the vitriol on here. And the generalisation about Bulgarian players being racist etc is just pathetic.

 

Gie it a rest eh?

[Dinger]

thanks for the updates jamboBG and best of luck to Branny

What a farce

Bulgaria's soccer soap opera took a fresh twist on Monday when Prime Minister Boyko Borisov urged organisers to get rid of the country's player of the year poll - after he spectacularly won.

Flamboyant Borisov, who sometimes plays as a forward for third division Vitosha Bistritsa, triumphed in the fans' poll after collecting 44 percent of the votes with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov coming second with 24 per cent.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2070183/Bulgarian-Prime-Minister-wins-footballer-year-award.html

 

No mention of PM Borisov on jamboBG's list but here is the final table:

 

1. Boyko Borisov ("Vitosha Bistrica") - 44% (3 501 votes)

2. Dimitar Berbatov ("Manchester United") - 24% (1 955 votes)

3. Vasil Lukaev ("Shipka Dragor") - 5% (430 votes)

4. Nikolay Mihaylov ("Twente") - 5% (397 votes)

5. Stiliyan Petrov ("Aston Villa") - 5% (382 votes)

6. Vladimir Gadzhev ("Levski") - 3% (243 votes)

7. Branimir Kostadinov ("Botev Vratsa") - 2% (134 votes)

8. Hristo Yovov ("Levski") - 1% (113 votes)
