Clarkserino Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Feckin joke. Have it on good authority that Mearns has been a stand out for the U19s this year and more recently the reserves. Ability counts for feck all under this regime unfortunately, and I expect this kid to come back and bite us on the erse one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 From what I hear, Eddie has the talent, but not the temperament. Sadly Hammy just doesn't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Can't say I'm surprised. Scotland is the only country in the world where we rate players like Mearns - absolutely no skill or ball control whatsoever but he's a "trier" and he gets "stuck in".

Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Sorry to see wee Eddie go, he is a trier and a hard tackler. Hopefully this is part of a fairly large clearout at youth level as there are far too many players for them all to get a regular game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Striker Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 That is a pity actually. I only saw him play 'in the flesh' for the first time last Wednesday, but he impressed me with his attitude and energy, but perhaps lacked the passing ability to really stand out. He was a neat and tidy little player though, keeping things simple and helping his teammates out. To be honest there was far worse on show that night. Maybe he can make it as a decent first division player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is a bit unfair on Eddie mate. I dont know how many games you've taken in, but have seen him play both for the reserves and the U-19's on several occassions, and he looks a pretty accomplished DM. The games I have seen him in, he does a great job of breaking up play, always in the right position and gives the ball to more creative players. Unfortunately has the temperament of a bulldog with an elastic band tied round its knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him as much as that (maybe three or four times) and he just struck me as the type of guy you see in amateur games all over the country - the wee guy in midfield who shouts at everybody, puts in a few leg-breaking, crunching tackles but doesn't offer anything when he's actually got the ball. Ach, maybe I'm just a purist - I would much rather we dedicate our time to skillful ball-players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team needs a Mearns like player IMO, but you're right, he needs to control his aggression, which he wasn't able to do much of the time. I would like to have given him next year to prove he'd curbed it, as it was the only thing letting him down IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Mearns & Hamilton are both decent enough players & will definitely have a career in football either at lower SPL or upper SFL level however they aren't as promising as Johnny Brown or Mikey Delands (for Hamilton) Steven Husband, Johnny Stewart, Danny Thomson, John Woods or Shaun McCallion (for Mearns - midfielders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Jambo so I'd imagine he would be quite gutted. I've heard he's joining Preston. Although this isn't from a player though so it's not that reliable a source.

Charlie-Brown Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Eggert Jonsson & Ryan McGowan would be much more likely to feature in defensive midfield than Mearns would at Hearts whilst other youngsters (I noted above) show more promise in terms of ability / potential. It is sad when any kids are released & I wish them all the best for their future & hope they both find a club soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the sort of lad that will shed no tears at leaving Hearts and will, no doubt, bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually about giving them games so they can get a chance to show other clubs what they can do. The club are just trying to help them get picked up by someone else.

Scotland is the only country in the world where we rate players like Mearns - absolutely no skill or ball control whatsoever but he's a "trier" and he gets "stuck in". See, I was scared of that. I have only seen him once, and he spent the whole game head down, running at the other team. If that is his general level of ability I would not be sad to see him go. However, I know a few people that see him a lot more than me and rate him highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say Hamilton was rubbish BH but he's not as good a prospect as Johnny Brown or Mikey Deland however Hammy is tall & athletic with decent ball control & passing etc. and also scores his fair share of goals at set pieces etc. so he should definitely find a club. The term rubbish should be reserved for rubbish players like Neilson for example who is a nice guy and good role model but rubbish at football.
