jamboinglasgow Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 While going through pie and Bovril, looking to see if there is rumours about Hearts players going out to lower league clubs on loan (only one was a rumour a few weeks back that United are after a Hearts player) I found a post when in reply to links of him going to Arbroath. The poster talked about him trying to get into the coaching side at Hearts. Is anyone aware of this? I can imagine it being a younger age group while playing part time for Arbroath (like John Rankin and Clyde.) I always thought that he would end up becoming a coach at Hearts when he was with us but moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB-14 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Surely not with the first team otherwise we’re going to need a separate dugout for all these coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'd be glad to have him at the club -- very intelligent player on the pitch. Funniest thing about him was that his performances went up and down reliably with the temperature. Always at his best at the start and end of the season.

He doesn't literally mean it was "funny", rather that it was strange that Gomis played better in warmer weather, and not so well during the colder months. If I'm wrong, I'm sure he'll clear things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong, I'm sure he'll clear things up. Can only assume the implication is that he is more accustomed to sunnier climes. To be fair, I was always shite in a Scottish winter too. Wasn't much use in spring or autumn either, but decent in the summer. That said, I've never been black, or have I? Gets you thinking.

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I’d be happy with him coming in and helping in the academy. A very classy player on his day so a massive bonus to pass that on to the youngsters coming through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to imply racism from the OP? Have you never heard phrases like ‘could he do it on a wet Wednesday in November’? Plenty of players of all races, backgrounds and nationalities have been accused of not fancying it during the winter months. Stop look for offence where none was intended.

gashauskis9 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If it coaches our midfielders to be more comfortable on the ball and make clever passes then I’m all for it. Wee Morgaro was never replaced in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an old line that black players don’t like the British winter (think the odd chairman and manager have been called out for it). It was the “joke” before the “Wet Wednesday in Stoke” line. It’s a bit lazy and actually untrue with Gomis as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbee647 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 We have a number of ex players involved with the club at younger levels, my daughter plays with Hearts and I’m regularly at the Oriam, you will regularly see ex Hearts players involved with the youngsters, absolutely fantastic to see Donald Park coaching the young lads, others guys involved include Scott Crabbe, Dale Carrick and Ian Ferguson (the other one) as well as John Rankin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hard one to know, who is going to be a good coach and not. I always think a good one, is someone who can simplify the game or make it more complex by understanding the tools they have to work with as a collective, and one who has enough personal skills to understand how to educate a player on an individual basis.

It was the “joke” before the “Wet Wednesday in Stoke” line. It’s a bit lazy and actually untrue with Gomis as well. ADAM's question is a very fair one. I confess I didn't know "black players don't like the British weather" was a thing but I shouldn't be surprised. I am sorry to have echoed a racist sentiment -- it was not my intent. I indeed mean "funny" as in "strange." It was certainly not true of his primary midfield partner Buaben, who was from Ghana, unlike Gomis, who was from Paris. Scottish weather is another level beyond standard "British weather" and it doesn't strike me as unusual that some players simply don't thrive in cold and rainy conditions, particularly someone like Gomis whose game was basically constant motion around the pitch, running his socks off and chasing every ball in the midfield. My memory of Robbie's first two seasons was that in the first three months of both seasons, Gomis often looked like our team MVP, after which he would disappear for long stretches of the season, before returning with a couple of classic performances late in both seasons. I maintain that he didn't like cold weather but I should have specified, given the racist history of such a judgement, that I did not assume that based on his race. I apologize.

I don't even think it was the weather as such, his passing became erratic as the pitches would start to cut up in the winter months. Poor performances to pitch quality rather than anything else IMO, he likes to pass the ball on the deck. Cracking player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
