Riccarton3 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I suppose he's been used to empty stands and little or no pressure/expectation. Any player with any self respect would say, 'we're all professional and it goes with the territory. It's up to us as players to change it'. This must be his last year, surely. Anyone confirm?

leginten Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Reading between the lines, he’s suggesting that playing at Tynecastle is difficult because of the fans. Which is a ****ing disgraceful thing to imply. (Not that it has stopped some of the more disreputable posters on here doing exactly the same over the last few seasons.) Lazy ****ers like SM are lucky they don’t play their football in a country where crowds are less patient, forgiving and tolerant than we are. Because they’d have been torn limb from limb by now.

He was our first signing that summer “bizarre signing”. “Experienced back up for Lafferty though, good sub to bring on” “looked after himself physically I suppose”... and then we sold Lafferty and didn’t bring anyone in 😂 Maclean is basically the main man for us! He’s probably ended up playing more games for us in the last year than any other player. 37 year old Steven Maclean. A shocking indictment of the disgracefully bad transfer policy failure of the football department. Really this guy should never in a million years be a Hearts player.

I'll be honest, I read it as meaning the situation with the fans, as in they couldn't complain at taking a shellacking from the home support, the way they are playing just kow. He goes on to say, they need to give something back if they want to get the fans onside.

Coco Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have blanked out whether they have actually played together for us but if they have then it is fair to say MacLean and Wighton is the worst ever pair of Hearts strikers. MacLean is creating Jamie McAllister levels of seethe within me ... I'd freeze him out for the rest of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Wilde Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) MacLeans talents should by now be getting paraded around Scottish league 2, where he still might manage 5 or 6 goals a season. Only Hearts under Levein could inexplicably pay him possibly the biggest wage of his forgettable career to do sweet fenny adams in the SPL. Christ even Kenny Millar would have been a better option than this duffer. Edited October 7, 2019 by Danny Wilde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a shambles. He must be getting near or over the 50 game mark. Edit: 43 appearances in maroon. Uche and Washington, meh. Naismith great if he ever gets fit.

Romulus Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Gets a lot of hate and should have won us the game in Paisley but honestly don’t think he’s as bad as is made out. Changed the derby in our favour when he came on last season. Obviously can’t dine out on that forever but he isn’t THAT bad. What is clear, is that he shouldn’t play up front by himself and is much better suited to playing with a.n.other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Have Maclean and Wighton actually ever managed to score a goal for us? It's just so depressing.

busby1985 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I don’t mind MacLean, he’s not great but he’s not horrendous either. He is however about 87 year old, so not sure what people expected. When he signed, Levein said his legs are goosed and he can’t run. I hardly expected him to find a new lease of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find intriguing is we have all manner of people in posts at the club but the way we engage with the press and fans is so ill judged. Any kind of professional would significantly edit the often ridiculous chairwoman's communications for instance. The tone is homespun, often patronising and they are far too long. What I find really annoying though is the amount of puff pieces that appear in the press talking up things the club have done - getting Glenn Whelan for 10 bob a week when Barcelona were in for him, you know exactly what I mean! Like this will make it all better for the poor saps who are having to watch the team currently. It's like the Celtic news in the 80s! We should be a lot more sussed about how most fans are actually feeling and engage in a more modern fashion. People at the club seem stuck in an impenetrable bubble.

I was in the main stand looking down (and right) onto the top of both dugouts and, About 70 minutes in at a Killie substitution, their player ran on the pitch shouting and gesturing to his team mates and, at the same time, 2-3 coaches including their manager were on the touch line doing the same with. Just off to their right was our dugout, I could see the roof and the line along the pitch and guess what...... not a soul in sight. You would have thought we were 1-nil up........ useless to a man.

Finlay James Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm not sure why McLean is being singled out for criticism, he's far from our worst offender at the moment. At least he puts in the effort. There's also nothing wrong in what he says in this article so I suspect many on this thread haven't actually read what he says but jumped on the wagon.
