And seeing as you claim to be a poster well into their 50's...I seem to have a far more grounded perception of reality, & a lesser need to post "look at me" posts, in order to make a point. And I'm 39. No I’m in my late 60’s and frankly fed up reading posts about progress when a blind man can see the opposite. Yes the club is now at long last financially secure but the football under CL is dire and on a par with Jordan and McLean. CL is a million miles away from Tommy Walker, Burley, Alex McDonald and even RN. Despite that I have still bought my season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inch Hearts Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Olly Lee's left boot said: 5/6 wins, yes I think so. I think we'll make that up next season Many games were marginal. We made that on hibs the season past (or there abouts) I could be wrong but we actually gained ground on hibs and Aberdeen, despite the poor season. The point about not falling apart is a different issue and I agree a concern. The point about getting better results with our better players available is a fair opinion to have. Not doesn’t really matter we gained points on them we finished 6th, again it doesn’t matter if by one of 20 points. We would have won 5 or 6 more had injuries not have happened? It’s a pretty baseless prediction but fair enough your opinion. What about Killie losing their two best players, hope did they cope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debate about the merits of the manager, and what we need at Hearts. Thread punctuated by said Hibs bangers desperately trying to flog the dead WUM attempt back on to its feet but failing miserably. Basically, if I was a moderator of a website, and there were arseholes being this obvious about it, I’d be delighted. Like shooting fish in a barrel, tbh.

I said 2 places and the fact that 2 clubs tied was co-incidental. My original statement was that, but for injuries, we would have finished higher and what your arithmetically challenged brain should take in is that it depends upon which teams our reversed results came against FOR EXAMPLE If we had beaten Hibs one more time instead of losing (through injury) we would climb above them ie they would have 3 points fewer and we would have 3 points more. If we had beaten Killie at home when we had Naisy, Souttar, Berra, Uche etc out (or even drew) the 2 teams would not have tied for 3rd because Killie would have had 1 or 3 points fewer In short, it depends on who we beat(or drew), instead of losing (through injury). I could go on with the ifs, ands and buts. I won't as it seems to be pointless. You simply can't, or won't, accept that our season was messed up by serious longish term injuries to some of our most influential players, often at the same time.

Personally i feel 2nd should be our target, should we avoid the injuries of this year. It's about time we started to look upwards. I think we should be aiming for the top - always. Being realistic, however, it depends on several factors 1. Injury - we cannot afford to carry the quality or quantity of the Ugly Sisters so it is essential we don't have a bad injury season 2 Signings - it depends on who we sign but even that might not be enough eg if we sign 1 x £1m player to improve our squad, the Arsecheeks can sign 2, 3 or 4 3. Tactics - we need to find a way to beat these lesser teams who park the bus and waste time 4 Referees - Ann Budge needs to be rattling cages at the SFA to introduce referees from east of Harthill and north of the central belt or preferably just get rid of Fleming. Performances like Madden at Tynecastle (offside goal and failure to dismiss Morelos) and Dallas (penalty v St J) are quite simply unacceptable. There are other imponderables no doubt but having regard to the above I would expect us not to finish below 4th with possibly better to come the following season as some of our youngsters grow up.

Isn’t it more important to get points on the board than have games in hand? Neilson's time was up, he had to go. It's all very well reminding people about a game against Rangers or whatever but we lost a lot of late goals through poor substitutions, i.e. taking off an attacking type player to bring on a defensive one and struggled to cope late in games as the opposition attacked and attacked until they got something. The Hibs Cup game is a great, under Neilson example, being 2-0 up with less than 10 to go yet they get a replay and we're out. When we were trying to get the ball out of the danger zone there was no out ball (midfielder or attacker) to collect thus the ball returned constantly making it hard for our defenders. Our record against the likes of St Johnstone was an embarrassment, they had a record even the old firm would be proud of against us. And don't even mention the embarrassment of Europe. The big problem wasn't Neilson leaving, it was not bringing in experience to help us consolidate. We were always going to slip down again despite the result against Rangers. The players we signed at the start kind of said to me we would be mid-table even before a ball was kicked. After the Cathro fiasco, we haven't really improved since. Still wasting money on players that are not utilised, dropped, loaned out or just not good enough in the first place. For every Naismith there's a couple of Vanaceks and Martins.

It's all very well reminding people about a game against Rangers or whatever but we lost a lot of late goals through poor substitutions, i.e. taking off an attacking type player to bring on a defensive one and struggled to cope late in games as the opposition attacked and attacked until they got something. The Hibs Cup game is a great, under Neilson example, being 2-0 up with less than 10 to go yet they get a replay and we're out. When we were trying to get the ball out of the danger zone there was no out ball (midfielder or attacker) to collect thus the ball returned constantly making it hard for our defenders. Our record against the likes of St Johnstone was an embarrassment, they had a record even the old firm would be proud of against us. And don't even mention the embarrassment of Europe. The big problem wasn't Neilson leaving, it was not bringing in experience to help us consolidate. We were always going to slip down again despite the result against Rangers. The players we signed at the start kind of said to me we would be mid-table even before a ball was kicked. After the Cathro fiasco, we haven't really improved since. Still wasting money on players that are not utilised, dropped, loaned out or just not good enough in the first place. For every Naismith there's a couple of Vanaceks and Martins. Great post.

With the enormous benefit of hindsight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
