hearts00 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 He won’t be but that result on the back of the recent run of results and performances maybe could/should be. Utterly unacceptable. And the injuries excuse does not really hold water for me. So literally losing Naismith makes us this bad? Players have completely lost confidence. Too much tinkering, too many changes, players not getting a run of games in the same position. The players have to take blame but Levin has to take loads as well. There are again huge huge question marks about the recruitment. The 30% hit rate of good signings is far too low on the back of three years of awful recruitment. And of course Levein is short on credit already because of the cathro debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see us being 3 points of the top by the end of weekend Real opportunity missed and the manager needs to take some responsibility for this I’m not saying it’s time for Craig to go because he is a jambo through and through like the rest of us Jordon wasn’t and craig will be hurting like us all. But can’t keep putting it down to injuries The players he has recruited should be capable enough not to be battered like they were He picks them tinkers with line ups . The results over last few weeks are nothing to be desired so punters are entitled to their thoughts on his position Id like to see us playing more positive attacking play instead of keeping moving the ball to our ain keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastSideJambo Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I was there that day. Never felt so embarrassed watching Hearts as I did that day. I remember Brian Rice literally walked right through the middle of the pitch unattended and stroked the ball in. The players set out to lose that game to get Jordan sacked. Mackay has admitted that Craig Levein played that day. I remember Hogg refused to go on as a sub at 4 or 5. It's was scandalous stuff Tonight wasn't on that level but it was atrocious nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy with a tranny pinned to his ear giving us updates from Brockville Turned round at one point and said "if it gets to 5 Im ****in off". 5 minutes later we noticed he was gone. Mever quite understood why you would leave a game early because of the result at anotjer game, but there ye go. Quite a good Hearts crowd that day through there as I recall.

Poor performance from us last night but 0-0 after 70 minutes. Last night we gave away a penalty, had a player sent off and lost 5 goals in 15 minutes. Never seen that before in over 50 years watching Hearts. Dont think I have heard of that happening in any game anywhere. As I said freak result, however it’s in the past.

Hans von Luck Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Part of the problem is that we have an indecisive chairwoman in charge who unlike the great Wallace Mercer does not have the balls to take action and be ruthless. Sandy Jardine, Wee Doddy and Joe Jordan all axed by Wallace after unacceptable results and performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 There was a huge divide between Jordan and the squad at the time. Witnessed it myself at Tynecastle just days before the Falkirk collapse. No reason to believe there is such an issue at the moment between Levein and the squad. Which, it could be argued, makes Friday's collapse even more alarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Whilst the result and collapse on Friday were unacceptable to any Hearts fan, it has, on occasion, happened before. The only other time it resulted in the sacking of our manager,that I can recall, was the Joe Jordan situation, which was brewing for some time. The 7-1 from Dundee, at home, that cost us the championship didn’t, immediately, cost Tommy Walker his job. The 7-0 from Hibs, at home, didn’t, immediately, cost Bobby Seith his job. He did have us top of the league for a while at the start of the next season. The 6-2 from Hibs didn’t cost Jim Jefferies his job, as didn’t the 4-0 cup defeat at Falkirk cost Craig Levein his either. One of the worst results I can remember was losing to Forfar Athletic, at home, in the cup. No talk of Alex MacDonald losing his job then, which was just as well. The important thing for us now, is for Levein and his coaching staff to use this low point to galvanise his players into making amends, by stopping being a bunch of feardies and doing what other clubs do - get stuck in. We, as fans, only ask one thing of our team. That is that they try 100% for the entire match, whether they are winning or losing, and let the opposition know they are in a game. Things can go wrong, but don’t pack in the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But same happened to Jim Jefferies. Football is a tough business. Edited December 17, 2018 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
