On that note it’s time for me to go , you guys don’t deserve a decent team or players, it’s sad for me as a Jambo to say that. To the decent support on here thanks for the chat over the past few years. Maroonnicky63 OUT Maybe you should have aimed that at someone who wasn't defending Levein nicky. But it's maybe best if you give it a break right enough, you don't seem able to disagree in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show him the outside everytime knowing that he will never go there and just cut in. Hard to do anything v a top winger (Hazard, Sterling) they have you were they like with their footwork Still plenty good wingers in the game, just not in our slow hoofball league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A skilful player will always find space, but I don’t see players hitting the byline and firing in crosses for a big centre forward anymore.

A much better option than we currently have, if he did want to come back I'd probably take him tbh I don't see a youth prospect which offers anywhere near the creativity and eye for goal he had. Although tbf Mulraney could be getting close to that if he can improve his end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Far from certain he'll get another MLS contract when his current one ends. He needs to score a few more goals like this between now and the end of the season to get himself firstly back in the starting line up and secondly in the minds and attention of recruitment directors and head coaches.

Nelly Terraces Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Over in the US on holiday right now & went to the Seattle Sounders v Atlanta match on Sunday. Absolutely fantastic experience, stadium is the absolute business & the atmosphere was top drawer - they had a march from local park to the game & have a massive singing section with guys in there on platforms with loudhailers who's job it is to whip it up & get folk giving it the large one - which they were only more than willing to do. Everyone standing, singing, massive flags etc & nobody whinging about it like the sad pricks on here. Also get a quality craft beer from numerous outlets & drink at your seat as well as unlimited food choices of course. All in, best day at football in years & beat anything you get over our way outta site - quite laughable to read folks sniffy/shite uninformed opinions on the game & the punters in particular over here. We could learn a few things from them as pisses all over the glum & negative atmos you get in Scotland. Saw a bit of the Rapids game later when we were in a bar & Sam Nicholson had a decent game all round. The standard is probably about his level, I'd say anywhere between SPL/Championship but with the odd player who are streets ahead of that. Looks like a popular player who's enjoying his time here.

The big flags and singing is also great, but I bet there was no hidden meaning behind them. They had flags at Bayern too and a section never stopped bouncing, they waved Bayern flags the whole game. They never waved, East, west, nazi euro or otherwise flags. No Irish, Palisten(sp) , Israel, uj or NI flags either. Just Bayern flags, pretty sure no one ever complained about a club waving it's own flags, but you know that. Be great if fans of the Scottish clubs could do that. A march to a certain football ground also happens around this time, but again not comparable. Sounds good tho, the Americans sure can put on a show.

The pie-stall was half-shut and the queue was stretching the length of the concourse. Tantalisingly close, and 10 minutes into the 2nd half, they ran out of all hot food.

Personally speaking, I would gladly pay an additional 10% on my season ticket if Hearts could sort out their matchday experience for famished supporters. A simple fix regarding having the foresight to cater for demand and make their service slicker would suffice But, I'd settle for an additional 20% if they figured out a way to have food delivered a-la Beyern ... 😂😂😂 *** No sexist attitude implied, a wee bald lad could do the same job*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that as a club, we're moving towards a better match day experience but I'm not sure that Scottish football fans will really ever want the bells and whistles and carnival atmosphere, inside our outside the ground. We're too miserable. Look at the progress we have made as a club off the pitch in comparison to where we were under Romanov but yet still folk moan. We just don't appreciate what we have. Ive been to games abroad and even down south and I've loved how different it is to a match in Scotland and one of the main factors for me is being able to drink alcohol in the ground. Even when I go to rugby at Murrayfield, being able to take 3-4 bottles in with you to watch the match makes such a difference. It's the difference between being treated as an adult and being treated like a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
