I don't know how old you are but I remember Levein as being the best central defender I have ever seen in the maroon jersey. You can't compare him with Stewart because only one of them has had the cojones to be a manager while the other has spouted pish all his footballing life. What a load of pish. Nobody is disputing how good Levein was 30 years ago as a defender. The fact he’s acting like a cockwomble and failing year in year out at Hearts are what sensible people are concerned about!

He spouts what is verging on bile and comes across obsessed. He spews absolute crap when it comes to Hearts. If you were a Hearts fan and listened to him and Craigan last Friday you wouldn't even argue, the boy has a personal vendetta when it comes to CL. Beyond a joke last Friday and really rammed his bias home. The fact that Sutton and McCoist appear balanced, intelligent and articulated when talking about Hearts speaks volumes about how MS comes across. And that ***** Craigan is another one who can go and shite a hedgehog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marooned Abroad Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Despite my moniker I see most games but I haven’t posted for a while because of all the rubbish I’ve read from those who want to make judgements based on a bias against Craig Levein. Well, I’m not a happy clapper by any means and I have been thoroughly p.....d off by some of our home performances .......however, this time round the man has in my opinion made some good signings......anyone disagree re Halkett, Lamour, Whelan, Washington, Naismith and hopefully the loans from Man U and Man C.? I’m actually looking forward to seeing them bed in and will make my judgement in about 10 to 15 games’ time. Until then......lay off and get behind the team and the Manager. Just my opinion of course!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very obvious - both going by the signings we've made and the games so far - that we're mainly going to play along the lines of 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 this season. Maybe even a cheeky 4-3-3 now and then. Edited August 22, 2019 by ToqueJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to you earlier you don't even want Levein as DoF because he has too much influence. So well done Levein for hiring the manager who got that result, having a say in the tactics and style as head of the football dept and signing most of the team. But anyhow, like you, I also enjoyed a lot of the football under Neilson, would have preferred him to stay instead of getting Cathro then Levein, and wouldn't be upset if he returned.

He clearly references fans. I didn't deny he was clearly having a pop at Stewart. His comment that people dont have an informed opinion unless they have managed a football club is embarrassing. I agree about the "don't have an informed opinion" remark. There are thousands of fans who have watched football over decades that know a good team to a bad one. Just because they haven't been a manager doesn't mean they don't know about football. It's a fairly typical Craig comment then he wonders why people, whether they are fans or ex-players, managers or media, find him quite an arrogant person. As for the usual suspects looking for the somewhat boring "dig" at Stewart connection or vice versa...he could be talking about plenty others and not just Stewart.
