Very good director so that's good trivia if true

Worst ski jumper to take part in the winter Olympics, practiced in his back garden with something he'd rigged up from an old washing machine and cross trainer or some such. Was a huge cult figure in the 80s and now the star of a film (played by taron egerton of kinsman fame) 

 

In his own words, “Everyone remembers me from that Olympics, can you tell me who won gold in the ski jumping?”

If this news is correct I might have to get my happy train thread back on the first page of the forum. 

 

Choo choo. 

Don't do it.  I was on and off it that much in the first month or so I got dizzy.😂😂

Fultons Right Leg

Hearts holding talks with former Aston Villa and Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan

 
 

Hearts are in talks with Republic of Ireland internationalist Glenn Whelan as they look to beef up their midfield for the campaign ahead.

The 35-year-old is a free agent after leaving Aston Villa, where he made more than 70 appearances - the majority as a starter - over the past two seasons.

Whelan, who spent almost a decade with Stoke City in the English Premier League prior to joining Villa, is currently in Edinburgh to speak with Hearts management and look around the club’s facilities.

 

Hearts are eager to recruit a robust holding midfielder to cover for the injured Peter Haring and Whelan, who has amassed close to 100 international caps and remains part of Mick McCarthy’s squad, is viewed as an ideal contender to fill the void.

Are the talks just talks or "advanced talks"? We need to know. What's BAnderson saying?

Signed already. Apparently.

Edit: Hackney Hearts beat me to it I see

 

The director of Eddie the Eagle is not a jambo. I know that for a fact. 

 

Someone else in the crew crew is though. I know that for a fact too. 😉

Happy enough but scarf above head before I get proper happy. Think he'd be just what we need from what I've heard about him

the more people who know/think this happier i feel so :D! 

 

Most of them just jump on the bandwagon. 

 

Fair play to the Eagle though, nothing coded about it. He's either ITK or full of shite, excited to find out which.

He needs to be more clinical when in dangerous areas. Couple of times last season he could have grabbed a goal but decided to lay it off. Be a bit more selfish. 
 

Sometimes his long range passing doesn’t work as well as you’d like. And his crossing. 
 

But people say he’s lazy, weak and rubbish. Which is all absolute nonsense. 

 

Fair enough 👍

 

He needs to really start putting his stamp on games for me, he's not involved enough for big parts. You can't get away with that in CM though.

 

Wasn't overly impressed last year but willing to see how he does in CM this year.

A low post count is irrelevant when his posts are so awash with confidence. No spin required.

would disagree with that entirely, made more tackles in the league cup games than i recall any his centre mid partners but as usual he's the fault. 

 

Correct.

At first, I was with you and was getting snow board of all the puns.

I’ll be interested in seeing how he manages with a proper holding midfielder beside him. A Haring or Whelan, if there’s any truth behind that. 
 

During the league cup game, he was being forced to pick the ball up from deep and then turning into a solid wall of opposition players. No-one really looked impressive during those games, Halkett aside. He didn’t avoid getting stuck in when necessary either, which some people seem to have completely ignored. 
 

He’ll be a good player for Hearts, of that I have no doubt.

The Sky Sports Scotland feature on Hearts and Tynecastle had a short interview with Budge. She was talking about midfielders but said "We're still trying to strengthen our midfield at the moment, so hopefully we can pull that one through." 

 

Am I reading too much into the "one"? Does it suggest that if we sign Whelan we won't sign another, as has been suggested on here?

Or she knew that Whelan had signed and just not announced yet and the one is morrison?

 

Or folk just read way to much into phrasing?

If you want to read too much in to things, when they panned round the changing room the only top with a name on it you saw was Naismith (1 down) and there were 2 empty locker spaces (2 to go)

I’m not sure Glenn Whelan has made a forward pass since Edinburgh castle was built. Underwhelmed 

 

I think she just meant the midfield area in general. So by "that one" she meant the midfield situation.

Not bad - but did he use a wedge at the short par 3?

He’d be better playing with a club and a ball but good info all the same....

If true, that means the Eagle has shot his load too early?

Unlikely he would be signed by Sundays game then sadly

 

Article says they hope to have it complete tomorrow and he'd go straight into squad for Sunday.
