Morgan Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 We were over the border this morning and stopped off for a coffee. Noticed a young bloke with his girlfriend sitting near us wearing a Hearts training top, with the number 88 on it. Curiosity got the better of me and I asked him what the story was. I told him we were from Edinburgh and supported Hearts. "My brother-in-law played for Hearts and gave me his tracksuit" he told us in broken English. 'You will know him" he continued, "he was a great Hearts player". I asked who it was. "Malaury Martin" he says. I shook his hand and returned to my coffee.

been here before Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I saw Malaury Martin last week, infact I sat next to him on one of those old fashioned school benches by the side of the academy pitch last Sunday. He was dressed in the Hearts gear but it still took me a while to place him. Thought it was perhaps someone I sat near at Tynecastle. Heard him ask someone about Morton and thought perhaps he was heading through on a loan deal. I tjen found out the reserves were playing them the next day. I dont think he featured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Bit annoyed by Martin. I want to like him, he seemed like he genuinely wanted to give things a go here but its just not worked out for him. Although, I wish he'd do the decent and dignified thing and accept things haven't went well, he has no future here and finds another club.

Alan_R Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 He's at least scores for hearts. More than can be said for some. But then so did Witteveen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of The Cat Cafe Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 MM's problem, as I see it, is that even if he is content to sit it out at Hearts and bank his pay each month, what happens when his contract comes to an end? He is 30; an age at which a player would normally be looking ahead to four or five more years in the game. How is he going to impress any new club? He has played about 120 games for nine clubs in 12 years. Unless he has been retraining as a plumber, I cannot see how he will ever again get a wage as good as that at Hearts.

Actually, and rather annoyingly because it made me think we had something with him, it was a decent goal. Played a lovely 1,2 and made a good run on into the box and struck it quite well. McGregor made a total ***** of it but it was a good low shot and on target, if you do that there's always a chance you might score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I watched him in a pre-season friendly against Bolton I think ,I thought what have we got here. In all my years watching Hearts that is up there as the worst signing ever.
