moogsy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Shat on Hearts to curry favour with a shower of lowlifes who still ended up hating him! LEGEND! That's the most tragic thing about the whole episode. He tried to lick their arses like you wouldn't believe, most visibly by disrespecting the team who had given him so much over the years, yet they still ******* despised him You know it's bad when even the Tims can see right through your serpentine ways.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Zal is the better man. Pressley was the longer serving and more effective player. Zal is also not a total prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Also, whoever said Pressley thumped the badge in front of Celtic fans only is wrong. And not a chance in hell he was doing it to get the Celtic fans on his side, you're bending truths to suit your own agenda. A small gesture? Steven Pressley was one of my biggest heroes, and then he turns round and takes a massive shite on the club. Disgusting. This is my thoughts on the matter, even after all these years & in all sobriety. A ****ing horrible thing to do by anyone's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo-Aunt Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 As a captain and leader, Zaliukas pumped money into the club through shares and taking time out of his life to attend auctions and bid large amounts of money for his own top. Pressley realised he was no longer first pick and decided to split the men he captained from the men who paid his wages. There is no contest. That is a very good post, Alan.

Uncle Buck Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I agree that Zal is the better human being. I agree that Zal has captained us magnificently throughout a very tough period. I agree that Zal has been a brilliant player for us. There's no denying that. I'm just very grateful that we've had the privilege to watch some great centre backs play for Hearts in recent times. Pressley and Zaliukas being two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychocAndy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Elvis was a better player than most on here give him credit for. On top form he was fantastic. Zal has improved, and proved me wrong, greatly. Webster and Elvis is the dream team though. I think we were playing Dunfermline and he had to go off for stitches 3 or 4 times, the same cut, the ball comes up, bang out it goes again, new stitches. Zal has captained the club to our best result and I will have nothing bad said about him, but Elvis, by a short head, everytime. As I was at Robbie's testimonial and cheered him, seemingly I'm an arsehole. Ta, I'm always described as a wee bit more in front of that on a ladies anatomy.

Tambojambo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Zaliukas. Quality player, respected leader, great captain, genuine club legend & all round good lad. Pressley. None of the above. Lesser player, not respected by his peers, superficially good captain, superficial club 'legend' & a bit of an erse. I trust this wraps things up. This.... and a Judas to boot!

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Pressley was an excellent CB for us.

4marsbars Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Pressley did what he did for much longer and made fewer mistakes. Zal's progress the last two or three years has been phenomenal. Actually, he's been a big player for us since Csaba started, if not before. It's always entertaining reading the easily-offended posts about Pressley. He did what? Thumped his chest? The bid bad man did that and it's not fair. Boo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If I needed to make a choice..........I'd choose Pressley. Fortunately I dont need to mske a choice and I can enjoy the fact that they both captained Hearts to cup wins. Next cup winning captain = Webster.

Kirky Jambo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Think it's often overlooked that Pressley made his fair share of mistakes too. I recently re- watched our 05-06 season video again and Webster gets him out of jail a fair few times. Also That red card v Dunfermline when 2-0 up at home was pretty awful. Both great ambassadors and players while at the club. But it's Zal for me. He bought his own top for a grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that example of the stitches fits in perfectly with the criticisms others have made that he was all blood and thunder, and not enough technique. One thing about Pressley, though - biggest cheating diver ever seen in a Hearts jersey. I used to cringe/pish myself when he did his wee swan dives after his touch got him into trouble It was only later that I realised how much of a dick he was in an opposing team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getintaethem Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm not going to get involved in an argument here mate as I've already said I rate and have a lot of time for Zal but Elvis was a lot better at not making mistakes, getting red cards, positionally, bringing on the youngsters and not being afraid to try to referee a match. He also stood up to the plate to take important penalties, eg late winner at Easter road. Zal beats him on penalties though, I like a captain who takes the first penalty in important games and sticks them in the top corner like against ICT at easter road. Put it this way, if Elvis, Webster and Zal were all the same age and at Hearts at the same time, Elvis and Webster would be in the team and Zal would be a very able deputy. I would say that Pressley wasn't shy in the taking penalties department either, in fact he was the regular penalty taker for a while and didn't miss many. In terms of who was the better player, IMO Zaliukas is the better footballer. He passes the ball better than Pressley did, has a better touch and more pace. Both were good in the air, but Pressley probably just shades it in this department. Pressleys positional sense was also better. In terms of Leadership, Pressley was probably the more inspirational Captain. So who was better? Well If I had to pick the team and could only play one of the two, then my choice would be Zaliukas.
