Bazzas right boot Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 3 minutes ago, Phil Dunphy said: So he's not allowed to shake hands with the opposition? That's a weird outlook to have. And you mean this picture? Look at the caption ffs. Gary Mason, Gary Locke and Ryan McGowan were all contracted to a rival club at the time. I doubt there was much outcry from Kilmarnock, Dundee or Dunfermline fans at the time. I'm sure there are other examples of a player contracted by a club, going to watch a different club in that league. It's hardly a big deal to anyone who has the ability to think. Your point about running down his contract would be valid if the photo was taken around the time of the speculation. But it wasn't, so it's completely pointless. Jamie Walker is a Hearts supporter. His whole family supports Hearts. I'm not saying he isn't a Hearts fan but there is difference between a son and son in law going to a game and a contracted Hearts player going to a rivals ground in thier colours and how that could be seen. A- could lead to questions about the football team he supports. B- loyalty to his club It is in no way clear. In fact it questions his Hearts fan status and the loyalty to the club. Gary locke is a Hearts fan, he went to watch Hearts. Jamie walker a Hearts fan and went to watch rangers. They are different. And the question you avoided - How would you feel if it was celtic colours? Answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it is at Hearts, the players, posters, the vast majority of their posts are negative. Really is making this place a chore. Daz gives a bit info, something interesting and folk have a dig. Just because we are interested does not mean that if we don't sign the player we never where or the info was shite. Players will have options and shock- horror might choose another team. A fact folk seem to miss. Aye i like a moan to be fair I'm working on it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from a Hearts point of view definitely not hibs, rangers, celtic or Aberdeen. From a Hearts player point of view... I remember your boy in the celtic end a few years ago. The sad thing is, that if it was celtic colours, walkers defenders would be a lot less on here, because it's Rangers some think it's OK and put up a defence. I personally would take him back, but I can see why some people don't like him after his social media antics and that photo.

Him going to Ibrox as a Hearts player wasn't bright (although it did occur at least a season or two before their tapping up started). Personally, I'd not allow it if I was Levein, but players are entitled to do as they wish in their free time provided it does not negatively impact the club. Him wearing a rangers scarf doesn't make him a hun. Its not something that needs to be explained either. His family are Hearts, he's Hearts, he was just at Ibrox with I assume friends. I know hibs and Hearts fans that have been to Ibrox, I know huns that have been to Tynecastle. Its just something to do on a Saturday, it doesn't mean they are now Hearts/Hibs/Celtic/rangers fans. I find it weird to go watch a team you don't support in the country of the team that you do support, but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Difference with Locke and Walker….Gary Locke is/was a Hearts fan anyway so it doesn't matter if he's playing for Killie or anyone else, you still support your club regardless. I remember seeing Scott Crabbe in the Hearts end with his hood fully tied up so no-one knew it was him as he was at Dundee Utd at the time. It was actually Dundee Utd we were playing against! Think the last ever game (or second last) before the shed was pulled down in summer of 1994. Walker, if he is a Hearts fan, has gone to Ibrox wearing a Rangers scarf, that's the difference. If I went to another ground to watch a team, as a Hearts fan I definitely wouldn't wear any of the teams colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 “Surprise” In my mind that word is more worrying or concerning than exciting. Or something that we will be underwhelmed with.

I reckon CL would be a big loss as DOF, no matter what fans think of his coaching. An experienced head coach who gets the club and doesn't mind working under him is the only way to move on with that continuity, and an ex-player like McCann or Robbo would be the solution to that.
