Not watched the Hartley one yet but I'm looking forward to it later on. I find all his "bantz" excruciating. He's basically a Ned with a platform. At least he's discovered socks. He does seem to get some good stories, though, and it seems to have an audience so fair play to him. I just can't bear to watch them.

Mr Elwood P Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Myth busted a few of the claims on here regarding Levein and Pressley. Good to know that the eejits amongst the Hearts support couldn’t spot a player back when he signed either. Dennis Wyness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 That took care of an hour and a bit, cheers to the OP. You can see there Paul Hartley has a great personality, and is a football man. 9 minutes ago, Newton51 said: Good interview especially the hearts stories tho can tell they have been exaggerated.

Toggie88 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Really enjoyed that interview - especially reminiscing about the start of the 05/06 season. Really was a special time to be following Hearts - genuinely felt like we could have taken on some of the best in the EPL at that time. The biggest take away for me was the stuff on Burley resigning. We'd heard rumours for years about various things that may or may not have happened - and PH might be missing some bits out - but it seems like him leaving the club came down to us not winning at Parkhead and Romanov wanting input into team selection. Also, Rix was on the suggestion of Gianluca Vialli after he turned it down. Cheers for that one Gianluca! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told of this at the time by an acquaintance of Webster and thought it had been exaggerated. The timings of the subs had been pre planned and instructed to Rix.

Rhyncostar Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I remember when he scored at Almondvale early on in the 05/06 season he went running to the hearts fans and for a split second looked like he was going to kiss the badge. I think he forgot at that point he supported Celtic and got caught up in the moment. He loved us and we loved him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Now we know why we never gave Athens a game. Superb interview with no stone unturned. I mind being at the methadome for a cup game when the shit was hitting the fan and just about every first team player was sitting beside us as Romanov has dropped them all. We got beat with not a shot at goal. The penny well and truly dropped that night and it was obviously not going to end well. well done PH for being the first to publicly spill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty clear how much he enjoyed his time with us. Bonuses in 05-06 were insane. Legend Mad. If my sums are correct that means after 8 wins on the bounce SPH earned £26,000 on win bonuses only.

Thought he could have been a future manager but he seems old school already! Nothing that Paul Hartley said about the period Romanov was here was exaggerated in any way, in fact the full truth still hasn't appeared in print as yet. It was quite frightening on here at the time in terms of the number of people who were happy to deny that he was having any involvement in team selection while castigating those who were posting such things. Probably just as bad were those people who kept going on about how much of his personal money was going into the club, when the correct rounded down figure was actually £0. There are undoubtedly an awful lot of people to be grateful to that their money was being used, the unfortunate thing was they didn't have a clue it was actually happening until it was way too late.

Glottis Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Think Ferry is getting better. First interview I watched of him he was really irritating. He's laying it on less thick now and just letting his guests do most of the chat and it's much better. Credit to him as well, he's the first person that's actually given decent interview time to so many pros. In particular probably the first person to get any proper Vlad-era stories. It's great to hear of Levein tearing shreds off PH after Easter rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Amazing interview. Write that book SPH! On Si Ferry, I've warmed to him over the course of the interviews he does. His accent is criminal but besides that he clearly has a talent for making players feel at ease and opening up. The interviews he does are far more enlightening than most out there and it's great someone is opening up Scottish football to us fans in this way.

WageThief Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Great interview, the best of all the Ferry ones. Looks like the Evening News is going to run a story per day from this interview for the next week.... I initially found Ferry a bit annoying but he's quite self-depreciating and his way makes the guests feel at ease. He absolutely loves banter - he always seems to ask "was the banter good aye?" which I initially found infuriating but now kinda amuses me. In some ways his total lack of opinion and input aside from the odd "big Gravesen was mental eh?" makes him a great interviewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Romanov eh. Absolute madness, but what a team. We were screwed regardless, even before he came. SPH, Rudi, Takis ripping it up, it was a happy part of the journey. FFS even Clum scored for fun in that team. Think the semi, SPH finest moment, remains an even more pleasing memory than their feeble team of 2012. They had hope in 2006, it was ruthlessly cast aside, with the 3rd 4 goal salvo of the season.

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Watched it earlier, got as far as Ferry’s “right, now on tae sellick” but at the hour mark, might watch the rest but was good to hear the stories from SPH, a true Club legend. Ive warmed a bit to Ferry as well but he didn’t seem as prepared this interview, got his timings mixed up a bit seemed to forget Hartley left us in the Jan window and also didn’t seem too hot on the timeline generally 2004-2006, no prompting re European games either (and hence no discussion of Bordeux, Braga, Basel).

Ferry knows less about the goings on in Scottish football than your average granny (unless he is an interviewing genius) which is probably why it works so well. The production values are shocking but I enjoy it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
