Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Tasos, if he hangs around into next season. I like a centre back captain, he had great composure and showed leadership yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think he is always the most inspiring captain anyway - he often moans at players and blames them.

Ribble Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Doesn't really matter, we have a number of players (Berra, Souttar, Naismith, Halkett, even Smith at times) that act like captains on the pitch so not really concerned which one has the armband and calls heads or tails.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Berra should be club captain. If he's not on the pitch it should be Naismith (if he signs) or Haring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(compare to Naismith who encourages players) Steven Naismith moans at everyone on the pitch ? Team mates, opponents and refs. Exactly what we need in our team. A right wee pain but in a really good way. He knows exactly what he is doing as well and it works. For me Berra is not forceful enough to get people riled up although I really like the guy, he is one of us.

Anyway, why would you strip Berra of the captaincy? Poor form? With Halkett coming in I do not for one second think Berra will be first on the teamsheet next season due to the captaincy, time will tell however. Wearing the armband on a Saturday is such a small part of his role for the club. Giving it to anyone else is a silly statement.

Dirty Weeker Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Berra should stay as club captain similar to Jordan Henderson at Liverpool who is not guaranteed to play every match.

If you watch a guy in your team essentially throw is body on the line at every turn, last ditch tackles etc then that is one of the most inspiring things you can have in a captain. Also your assertion that he blames other players, can you back that up? 1 hour ago, Dusk_Till_Dawn said: Berra should be club captain.

Your opinion is that you think a brand new hearts player should be captain ahead of players who have already been in that mould and playing like they are - and thats a silly opinion, in my opinion. And if we do say to a brand new player, "aye crack on , you're captain now" what does that say to Naismith, Souttar, even Berra and the rest of players who have taken on that role?
