We need to win now or Stewart will pish himself laughing.

We need to win for Heart of Midlothian FC sake not for the ego of Levein or Stewart.

A thousand times more than Mr Pointy-finger Shit Pass, that’s for sure.

Pretty much how I feel about your boring and persistent campaign against Levein tbh.

You think what you want.  But this whole thing is incredibly childish imo 

 

I have no "campaign". I'm thoroughly ****ed off at the state we are in. We all should be. 

 

Actions speak louder than words. Time to stop talking and start delivering I would suggest 

[vladtheexhaler]

About time Stewart got called out for his myopic perspective.

 

 

[Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine]

That is a winner quote from Levein

[jockmac]

At last Levein is showing a bit fight and aggression. Keep it up Craig.

 

That’s more like it, the sleeping bear awakes from his hibernation. 

 

[Gambo]

I'd rather Levein won his battle with Stewart with results and performances  on the park (which he is paid to do) rather than tittle tattle in the press (which Stewart is paid to do).

I will ask the Jkb massive again.......are results and performances poor?

 

 

 

Yes they have but Levein isn't moaning about being criticised he is moaning about over the top unfair criticism.

 

There are teams in the league who have had horrendous runs and performances but you don't see Stewart using up any of his airtime weighing into McCann, Archibald, Wright etc

[All Out Attack]

Levein is the root of our problems and it is disappointing many in our support can't see this. 

 

Stewart is simply calling things as they are. I couldn't care less if he has a personal agenda, it's only when he says something incorrect I will discount it. 

[livi]

That quote about him being terrible value at £1 a week is legendary.  About time he came out fighting.

 

Is MS the new Andy Walker. Should be good for a chant at the next televised game he’s working at.

You do have a campaign, it oozes out of your every key-stroke. 

 

I’d rather we took action and spoke. Especially if we speak like Levein has done there. Hope he rips the pish out of ‘Biscuits’ next. He’ll probably spare MacKay since he was actually a decent footballer.

Hearts managers are now assesed on how the Dundee, Partick and St.Johnstone manager is doing.........really?

Well said Craig, nice to see him come out fighting.

So would I but appreciate that the manager gives some back rather than be some wee meek mouse taking shit off a bitter wee tool who thinks he is a specialist in the game when in reality? Thought we were moving in the right direction in the County game. and confident that we play the same again we will beat whats in front.

Saturday’s Performance was decent and things are visibly starting to click. It takes time though. As difficult as that is to accept for someone who just plain hates the man and throws all reason at the nursery wall every time his name is mentioned.

Decent? Based on the utter garbage we have had to witness recently you may be right, but lets be honest it was still poor stuff.

[Uncle Buck]

CL is the man.

[Dinger]

this is the Craig Levein i want to see, 

[Maroon Sailor]

Pleased Levein has ripped him a new one. Long time coming but worth it in the end if it shuts Stewart's constant sniping of the team.

 

Don't mind him criticising but to find fault in everything Hearts do just now was beginning to grate.

I'm sick of Hearts being the perennial whipping boys of the SMSM . I thought after Vlad left the scene it would get back to normal, but it hasn't, not by a long way.

Please.

The only way to come out fighting is to get results and prove that Stewart is just talking nonsense because he "doesn't like him" not having a petty squabble in the papers with a guy he clearly has no time for.

[Escobar PHM]

Well this is getting interesting. MS calling it as he sees it like virtually no other punter does and levein wants him gagged. CL still referring to a nil nil draw at home to Ross county like it’s some sort of achievement. The £1 a week remark is pretty bloody funny you have to say. But the repetitive and somewhat childish nature of the spat apart, MS views on leveins  performance as DOF and head coach are bang on and will continue to be bang on until levein starts putting some wins on the board against the bottom 6. 

 

Would anyone honestly welcome another nil nil tomorrow irrespective of how ‘excellent’ the performance is ?

Can someone tell me  What did Biscuits ever do as a player?  How come people even quote him as though he was some sort of managerial genius?

I don't think Gary Mackay will be spared.  I reckon he will be lined up next but that could depend on our next couple of results or his next couple of columns.

You're completely misrepresenting the situation by saying the issue is over Stewart saying we've been poor though, that's obviously not the problem and we all know it

I think he has presided over a shambles and is not a winner

 

I would think that would be difficult to argue against but batter in

Lots did on the sportscene thread.  But you know that. 

So folk have been saying performances and results have been great under Levein? 

All Stewart is pointing out is that performances and results are poor......where is he saying something wrong?

Really? Created a glut of chances. Defensively solid. Djoum back to his best. Starting to click again from what I saw.

 

You won’t ever see that though, for well covered reasons. 

[Kiwidoug]

Im not going to read all this but could i please ask the OP not to use the name Mikey.  That's a term of endearment.  It's like calling a Hibs supporter a hibby.

 

Stewart is a complete nonentity and Hibs supporters are cretins.

[OTT]

Thats the Craig Levein we all know and love!

 

Seriously though, MS is a good pundit, articulate and direct. He has a lot of good analysis but the rage about Levein has got to stop. He's worse than some posters on here with his vitriolic rage towards Levein. Its embarrassing. 

 

BBC should make him adopt the '2 stars and a wish' approach to critiquing Levein, might force him to balance his anger.

Intereting. "Negative" eh. Saying that we should starting delivering in the park having lost 19 of our last 38 league games instead of talking

Biscuits was ordinary as ****. That’s being pretty generous too. Only reason he’s ever mentioned now is because he’s a slavering rent-a-dribble on BBC Radio Scotland.

Stewart has been talking nonsense, he's been talking nonsense about Levein for years because he's got an agenda against him.

He is not more of a PHM than me nor my father who saw his first Hearts game in 1943. He also falls well,,,well short of Gary Mackay, Robbo or Henry Smith as being ex players who are PHM. I don't get the love-in with Levein in here. 

 

Michael Stewart criticised Cathro from the outset and was proved correct and he is also correct when calling out Levein and  his inability to beat Rangers, Killie,  Patrick or Ross Cty.  Video evidence proves Stewart correct and it's up to Levein to do his job or step aside

If you need it explained you either don't have the capacity or you refuse to understand. Either way, I'm not indulging you, it's all pretty obvious

Well that’s not what you were trying to say was it? 

 

Calling it ‘childish’ to have a go at Levein for sticking up for himself and the team from over the line criticism. Before you come back with the standard ‘so do you think performances have been good?’ you’ll see I called it over the line, which Stewart has been.
