Debut 4 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Give up. So did Peterhead and every other te that's beat us. And FYI Dunfermline looked like a team we should be competing with this season. We certainly never dominated the match. Cathro's just unlucky? Take a fecking break. i think a few people never saw the whole game and just the highlights. Hearts struggled to create from open play. The midfield was non existent. Dunfermiline showed more creativity and intelligence in our last third than we did in theirs. Their right back on numerous ocassions ran us up the line with ease and often got behind us with simple one-twos. That was a big thing for me. I know they came with the underdog tag but they ran their guts out. They believed they could get behind us and wanted to work hard to do so. Our players don't. We are so static, have no willingness to run behind people often enough. It's all played in front of the opposition and easy to defend against. We still haven't found a level of workrate and focus when we play at home because we fail to recognise teams see us as a scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I know it won't be popular seeing those highlights again, but Dunfermline led a pretty ******* charmed life in that game.

FarmerTweedy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Very good news. Surely Levein would see a conflict and leave while discussion took place on the 1st team. Unless of course, he resigned. He's the director of football. He's the boss of the head coach of the first team. If there's discussion of the first team performances and the future of the head coach, he's the most important person to be involved in that discussion. He absolutely must be part of it. If the rest of the board wanted to discuss whether a change of DoF is required, or if the DoF rule should be dropped by the club, that would probably be a discussion he'd have to be excluded from.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 i think a few people never saw the whole game and just the highlights. Hearts struggled to create from open play.

Their right back on numerous ocassions ran us up the line with ease and often got behind us with simple one-twos. That was a big thing for me.

We still haven't found a level of workrate and focus when we play at home because we fail to recognise teams see us as a scalp. Spot on D4. I thought we had an arrogance about us that we had no right to have, like we just had to turn up. Everyone looked laboured, no-one was making any effort to get in to space or show for a pass apart from Cowie. When we went 2-1 down there wasn't even a reaction. Cathro standing there stunned and motionless as always. He wasn't shouting or demanding anything from his players. All he did was motion for defenders to stay back or the midfield to squeeze in. At the end he turned round and smiled when he was receiving dogs abuse. It wasn't a nervous smile either, it was snide. He's completely finished there's no way he comes back from this. Board need to release a statement tomorrow saying he's sacked or on gardening leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Normally what the alternative is forms a big part of what club boards consider when sacking a manager and deciding on timing for same.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Did I say that? You can't seem to read very well - where am I backing Cathro? Were you not implying that Cathro may have been unlucky not to get a result yesterday? I mean I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but I'm sure that was the aim of your post. And "seeing those highlights again." Did you even see the full match? Since you can't make many games I thought you would make the effort to watch the televised ones. After all you sure do got a lot of strong opinions. I thought you must have watched more than a handful of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfcbilly Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 We've not dominated any games is the truth.. Aimlessly slowly passing it around.. (otherwise known as the opposition letting us have the ball because they know we are pish) is not dominating games think most of us would agree the only thing we 'dominate most of the time is possession. Shots on goal tendcto be similar and actual goals scored tends to result in us being worse off than opposition. Cathro quite often describes as us having 'dominated' games in his post match ramblings though and to be more specific this time, I'm sick hearing him going on about us dominating games. He seems to be the only one who still thinks his work will all come good in the end. Bottom line is 8 wins in 30 is not good enough for HMFC and most clubs would be offloading their manager with stats similar to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kintner Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 All the highlights show is that we had a number of close calls during the last ten minutes when we were bombarding their goal with set pieces and long balls. The other 80 minutes we were slow, turgid and far too deliberate in our play. Just like the last six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Lol FFS calm down... I agree with you. The scored Thier only two chances. One that Messi would struggle to pull off and the other from a slip, composed finish tho. We missed twice from 4 yards and Thier keeper pulled of a great save first half. The least said about isma's pass when two on the keeper the better. Still not good enough as we had little control of the game, but we done more than enough to win that game.

Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Cathro was under serious pressure from the board before these games and this was already intimated by levein in an interview after the end of last season.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 They had more than two chances. Even the highlights show them having four or five chances and they had a couple of others that weren't included.Can't think of a decent one, there first goal was a bit class. 4 on target, Thier two goals and I remember jack saving two from outside the box. They also had s blocked shot. They had 1 corner, we had 11. I remember a save from Thier centre half from about 4 yards to stop an og. Kyle's one from about 6 yards and isma's ridiculous pass when through on goal. Topped of by Stockton hitting the moon from about 4 yards Anyway, we never won. Not good enough. But no need to make stuff up, jammy was right we could and should have scored more, the players particularly isma and Stockton let us down by arsing up easy chances.

That's the only point. Not a pro Cathro point, just an attempt at a pragmatic observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
