Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Think he deserves one of his own. Embraced the club from day 1 and obviously made a huge impression on the War of Two Halves guys. Unselfishly, I hope we never see him again, that would be a reflection on Jimmy reaching the top of the game. Not sure he got the media attention he deserved, a very welcome part of the team, pleasure having him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Ell Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 His celebration at full-time of the Aberdeen game at Tynecastle was one of the moments of the season for me. You could see there and then how much he cared. All the best, Jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie_Burns Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Definitely get the feeling we'll see him return some time in the future, really loved his time here and genuinely bought into the club ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunphy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I echo the sentiment about Burnley being relegated. Arseholes. A top lad, someone who got the club from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's a shame he won't be back as he was great during the time he was here. Good luck to him wherever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It will be interesting to see how his career developes and what level he is loaned to in England. If it's league one or lower then he might not be doing himself any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky jamboa Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thought he might have been here for the rest of the season but suppose not one worth pushing the boat out for with berra, souttar and dikamona all soon to be fit and available and Smith an option in the centre as well. He's been a great signing, fitted in really well, seemed to get the club and I'm sure he'll go on to have a good career. The best compliment I could give him is that we hardly noticed the loss of berra and souttar since he came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1986 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don’t think Burnley are to blame here. I have a feeling CL is looking beyond this season and as soon as it was confirmed signing Dunne permanently wasn’t an option we’ve looked elsewhere. There is no other reason I can see for Dunne to be recalled and loaned out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Absolutely magnificent in every game, put his body on the line and he wasn’t even our player. Even when we got pumped at Murrayfield and Ibrox, his level of commitment was unsurpassed. Shame he won’t be back as he was superb but like Gio, I’d love to see the laddie make it at the top level. All the very best to Jimmy Dunne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 An all round great lad. It's a shame about the circumstances, and the modern day finances of football, as we could have had a player for life if we had the buying power. One of those players that "gets" what Hearts are all about, his commitment and drive were spot on for us. I would love to see him in a Hearts shirt again - you never know what might happen in a decade or so! All the best to him in the future, hope he has a top notch career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siegementality Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Jimmy is Burnley’s player and they are entitled to progress his career how they see fit. If they think a loan to a English side - Sunderland I believe - is the way forward then that’s their prerogative. Whilst I would never want us to have the injuries we did it, it gave us the opportunity to see a bright star of the future. He seemed a down to earth guy who understands football and football fans. All the very best to you Jimmy and hopefully see you back at Tynecastle one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted on another thread somewhere on here about Jimmy Dunne Scott. My thoughts were and are that potentially Burnely could be about to throw him in at the deep end to try and stiffen up their defence. In all honesty I have no problem with Burnley not letting him return if they need him to help their own cause, which I guess is to pull themselves away from the bottom end of the league. From what we saw of him in his time at Tynecastle I do think he will go on to have a very good career. My only hope is Burnley start getting things right, picking up points and he isn't flung in to a struggling side, and loses any confidence already built up as a result. Perhaps we could arrange a pre season friendly with Burnley this Summer so we could have a decent day out down there and an opportunity to thank him properly for his time here.

He got the club from day one and he knew what it meant to us. I’m sorry it ended so soon for us but his tenure here was appreciated by all. A real play art in the making. I hope in future he gets a big money move to one of the English giants as he’s too good for Burnley. Good luck Jimmy Dunne. I seriously hope you reach the very top of your profession and I hope the Hearts will always be fondly remembered you. You’ll always be welcome here as a visitor!

Musemic Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't think any of us had an inkling quite how good he'd be when he signed for us.

queensferryjambo Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thought he had a really ropey game against St Mirren at home and was worried about him after that game.

WoodenHertz Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 After the 0-0 draw to Hibs he came over to the Main stand applauding the fans and then gesturing away at the Hibs fans. You could tell he really got the club. Then after that he ran over and helped one of the members of staff carry gear back in, his attitude will serve him well. Wish him all the best.
