jambopilms Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Stoke have a better squad than us probably by far. That will surprise loads on here, who will have a tantrum after we get outplayed by a better team. It will be a good workout for the last game before the season kicks off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Buaben Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Think this has been a bit slap dash and seems like they have forgot to organise a testimonial match so thrown it together with a Stoke friendly. It should have been a more jovial and celebratory affair with a say a hearts select v killie/bradford select or Jim Jefferies XI v Paulo Sergio XI. Where we get to see cup winners and cult heroes. Rolling subs and a celebration of a guy living every one of our dreams Instead it is the last match for the first team sqaud to get fitness and sharpness before the season starts the following week. So the testimonial part of the whole day is in fact just a 15 minute half time show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I’m in Spain until end of summer or would absolutely have been there. Gary Locke is one of the greatest ambassadors for Heart of Midlothian Football Club and there is absolutely no doubt about it he played a massive role in the 5-1 cup win (the greatest day of my life) and I’d much prefer him in the dressing room than the gorgie suite! the guy is a hearts legend and deserves the best turnout possible and yes to make a good few quid along the way. Rudi and Robbo etc too will be doing something at half time or possibly a last few minute cameo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have been the perfect opportunity to utilise the foundation plaza with kids activities. Outdoor bar maybe even a band. I remember going over to our Essen Friendly in Germany and they had a similar style plaza and the atmosphere was brilliant outside the stadium with bars and burgers and a band etc (that German beer was strong so maybe it was just a guitar can’t remember lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 On 08/07/2022 at 07:46, DETTY29 said: It's not really as Stoke appear to be bringing their first team and we are also using it as a key part of our first team pre-season preparations. For either Gary at 47 or Rudi at 42 to play any significant time would be a wee bit disrespectful all round. And maybe neither of them would want to have to do the full warm up, kitted up palaver just to kick off each half and subbed by a first team player seconds later which also would be a bit disrespectful to say Devlin and Grant or whichever 2 players that be subbed on. Instead of course, Gary's testimonial could have been played on the Sunday with an old boys Hearts XI v. a combined Kilmarnock, Bradford, Lasswade High School oldies select or whoever. Mad how many people seemed to think Rudi and Locky would be playing. Imagine an almost 50 year old Gary Locke in midfield chasing about after players from the English Championship.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Not sure if the club are being attacked here but Locke has a testimonial committee so if anyone thinks this is a shit match for a testimonial then you should query it with them on their social media pages.
