And yet you never post on here when we win..........

 

Never mind mate, we're going to rip up the wee team for arse paper this season, sure you'll enjoy that ?

Well that’s a lie for a start. I post every game so you must have selective memory. 

Personally I couldn’t care less about Hibs the main thing I care about is trying to catch an Aberdeen team who finished 18 points ahead of us to try and qualify for Europe. 

Under this manager though it won’t happen. Far too many players in that squad nowhere near good enough for us to be a top 4 team.

This thread was reeking too.

??what were folk expecting?3 week break and suddenly Wighton and co have came back top class?My guess would be that Levein knows these guys are not good enough and today would've highlighted that even more ?

Leven will play them  nonetheless .

Some probably don’t. Others certainly do but it’s a great result for them to have another go at the club/manager. 

 

Very little posters are having any kind of a go.  People are falling over themselves on the other hand to start trouble out of nothing.

If Hibs had played majority of their young team and got beat, why would I be laughing? If they played their full strongest team I’d laugh at them, but we had no where near that team. Away and work on your next question

On way back from today’s game. Only things we can take from games like this is that MacLean, Wighton, Brandon, Burns, Henderson, Moore, Petkov are not good enough for Hearts and never will be why do we even persist giving them minutes just move them on 

 

Bit harsh on Brandon.  Was out for over a year with a bad injury.  Thought he looked really good beforehand so deserves time.  Never seen Petkov but I agree about the rest.

[adam1998]

Yeah go away Levein you let the guys lose a fitness exercise ?

No Washington/Uche/Walker/Naismith/ White/ Haring, souttar, uche, mulraney, Lee, djoum etc.. and we play fitness game 2 in 48 hours 

Brilliant ?

Neither do the vast majority of supporters. They’re shite. I went to Murrayfield only really to see Barcelona. I think before that it was that South American team that kicked lumps out of us. 

People getting stressed about the hearts b team losing in a friendly is so utterly ridiculous.

Did we get relegated that season

[kimosavi]

Levein sacked by the end August ?

[adam1998]

I’ve attended Hearts games for over 36 years - preseason has almost always been pis*, it’s a fitness exercise for the players.

 

All the pant wetters getting upset are clearly new to following Hearts  and football in general ?

The way some weirdos were going about 'protesting' during that year you'd think we had. 

[Selkirkhmfc1874]

Somethings never change with some anti levein posters ! It's a pre season friendly with loads youngsters 

[busby1985]

Bobby 

Hickey 

Berra 

Edwards 

MacLean 

Clare 

Smith 

 

All started the Scottish cup final, all played a part today. 

 

Cochrane 

MacDonald 

 

Are players people think are going to be pushing for starting places next season. 

 

Wighton 

Bozanic 

Burns 

Brandon 

 

All featured at various points last season and will feature again this season. 

 

Lets not pretend that the sides out today where “filled” with youth. 13 of the squad feature and will feature in the new season. A fitness exercise it may be but we have been making excuses for poor performances and defeats since October 2018, you can’t blame people for getting irked by another defeat, even in these circumstances. 

 

Pre season is for fitness, trying out new shape/formations, new players etc but it’s also for building momentum for the new season. It’s not essential but it’s great to build a bit of excitement for the new season. Everyone will remember the Boro friendly before the Burley season, the feel good factor was amazing. Fans and players together. Pretend all you like but come the start of the season, with more results like today, the atmosphere is going to be horrendous. 

 

Heres hoping, like many have said, it is just a fitness exercise and not a indication of what’s to come.

Souttar , white, djoum , mulraney , Lee,  haring , ikpeazu,  Naismith,  halkett,  Washington and Walker weren't even stripped 

[Morph]

It’s just a bit of a shitter for confidence and supporter morale. 

 

Think everyone just wants to get the past couple years behind us and get back to winning so disappointing when we’ve been beaten of a team like arbroath even in a friendly.  It’s not really an indication of next season but probably could’ve done without an excuse for fans to be miserable *******s before the season has begun.  

 

When do the LC matches start?

Dundee utd a week on Friday! That's when we need to be ready for competitive football

Dundee utd at home 12th July. I'll admit if we lose that I'll be worried and embarrassed and raging and all those things.

Well if it was a fitness exercise rather than a match what was the point in putting the goalposts up ?

 

It's a gash result

Par for the course for the happy clappers on here - run out of football related excuses and they bash on with the personal insults.

What do you believe is the main reason for the first friendly of the season? 

 

Especially one with 10/11 subs? 

Edited June 29, 2019 by Jambo, Goodbye

[ramrod]

Poor result , but as people have said it's only pre season so not overly important but still poor and nor setting the tone going forward .

Think that’s it, win all your games pre season and the club goes into the season with a bit of a buzz. 

 

Again dont think it proves anything about the team but would be good to get the feel good factor back.  Anyone know what went wrong for us?  Would imagine we just lacked the physicality against them?
