N.Barasa Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Mikey Stewart He has struggled recently after a bright start to the season. Yesterday he was involved in the early stages of the game but disappeared.Overall he had a shocker and it was no surprise when he was taken off early on the second half. When he signed in June it was reported to be a six month contract,has this been extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod01 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 All credit to Mikey yesterday. He was feeling nauseus BEFORE tha game but wanted to play. He threw up on the park just before the start of the second half and again early in the half. He was clearly very ill but fought for the cause. And I am no means a big fan of his. I can't understand why he tries to tackle the opposition from some really weird, unorthodox angles. It's simple, get on goal side and close them down. Rod.

ibpc Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Since he wasn't fit at the start he should have said so and not played. Another example of his mistaken belief that he is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossmaroon Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 A few weeks ago, Michael Stewart could do no wrong and was lauded from the stands and from this board. Now, it's as if he is the chief pariah and gets it from all sides in a manner Miko, Elliot and Neilson would recognise. It seems because he had the temerity to speak back to a neanderthal "fan"/"supporter"/cretin at Tannadice that he is no longer the pin-up boy of the less intelligent sections of our support. Michael Stewart's form will return, I am sure, and perhaps the support can try to be less fickle in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the serial criticisers should take a leaf out of Vlad's book. If he is prepared to consider dropping his "rotation" approach to team selection perhaps they might do the same with their criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incident at Tannadice has no bearing on my view of him...................as I have never rated Stewart since he came back. Kingston, Jonsson, and Ruben are far far better players than Stewart. MS is an average player who thinks he is better than he is. Poor passer of the ball. Crosses, corners and free kicks are poor. Works hard but achieves very little in a game. Always too quick to blame his team mates for his mistakes. Tackling is dreadful. That is my opinion of him as a footballer not as a individual, off the park he is one of the most pleasant people you could meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield were tripping over each other most of the game. I would have played a midfield of Driver Eggert Ruben and Miko and given Chesney a free role. and you said this was too lightweight. So you would say that the midfield yesterday was lightweight then as Driver, Eggert, Ruben, Chesney & Miko (sub) all played in midfield yesterday.

Agree 100% he works his backside off week after week, even if he is not playing well, he never hides, Ruben is also a good player, as for Kingston he it appears can do no wrong, the fact he is lazy, often hides, takes the credit for everything even when he is nowhere near the ball, kisses the badge all the time, no doubt he has talent, bit is a luxury player, but hey, he seems to be loved by most Hearts fans, lets see how long he hangs around.

dwatson Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Stewart is the best passer of a ball that we have at hearts in my opinion! he had a bad game yesterday fair dues but everybody has them as for his first time at the club he was played out of position the games that kingston and stewart have played this season i would say kingston only once has played better than stewart that being against motherwell away the only game kingston has decided to turn up this season! excpet for the motherwell game i think kingston has had a very poor season! i know hes had a few injuries but he has still played a few games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stick up for Stewart but criticise Kingston................laughable. Seriously mate, you cannot answer every post with a negative response and expect people to assume that you are infact correct and were are all misguided. I'd offer that you are in someway 'hindered' by Stewart and his footballing abilties are not what you are really complaing about, more of a personal thing about the boy for some reason. It can't be because he has been poor of late because the fact of the matter is that almost every single player to a man has been garbage this season. There are many reasons for this and most of them lay off the field and purely at Romanovs feet. At least Stewart offered a glimmer of light when we were getting shafted at home by the Falkirks and ST. Mirrens.... Whatever, Mikey Stewart is a very important player for Hearts. That's a majority opinion, not a minority. You are entitled to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Certainly not the best midfileder I've ever seen at Tynie - but certainly not one who lacks effort or hides himself away when thing are not going his way. Some of the abuse given to him is way out of order - but he joins an elite club of others who have had the same stuff from certain sections of our support.

Jambo_ree Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Stewart got a lot of stick where I was on Saturday. I don't like our own players getting singled out, it really doesn' help them. I watched the game again on Saturday night, and in the first half, he actually performed a lot better than I had remembered. It wasn't his fault he was ill, and that clearly affected his performance. He looked terrible in the second half. (And not just because he is gingy). I know his recent performances have not been great, but he never hides, and always gives 100%.

Samster Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Michael Stewart was superb in the 1st half on Sat. He basically sat on top of Buezelin for the entire half and stopped him playing. Yes he faded 2nd half but if he was ill then what do you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBjambo Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The fact that Stewart played on Saturday despite being ill says it all for me... he is willing to pull his weight and more for the team and help us climb the league. Stewart is without doubt our best midfield player and yes he has had a few bad games (as have the WHOLE team), a run-in with a neanderthal supporter at the Utd game and in the second half of the derby should really have been subbed earlier (Frail's fault), but without him we would lose a vital spark in midfield. On his day he can be brilliant and i'd rather hold on to him than Kingston; as for my money Kingston is a flair player and is heading the way of Skacel, posted missing too often, doesn't track back and is looking lazier by the game... plus I hate all that badge kissing crap... we know he'll be off soon. It would be great if some of the fans on here would actually support the players and recognise their efforts when they play through the pain barrier for us and WIN the game... instead of routinely rounding on them when they have an off day.
