bajthejambo Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 A great captain. Clearly an awful manager though. With all factors considered, he'd need to be at least, very good to be welcomed back at Tynecastle. With that being said, he's not worthy of being in the conversation.

Thomaso Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 5 hours ago, Robbo-Jambo said: The chest thump. 😒 That's all certain folk seem to remember. He was a brilliant captain, and great player with the club for many years. Try not to forget that part as well. He loved our club. That was very easy to see. His chest thump was aimed at Romanov and and he stood up to that nutter when no-one else would, bringing along 2 players that loved the club also. Romanov wasn’t even at Tynecastle that day! And it wasn’t just one chest thump - made captain for the day, running 50 yards for over the top goal celebrations at the Gorgie end, the individual walk down to the Celtic fans for a bit of chest thumping and fist pumping! Pressley acted like a total arse that day in front Hearts fans who backed him in his protest against Romanov! All unlike Paul Hartley who returned to Tynecastle with Celtic, and played his game with out any inflammatory behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All unlike Paul Hartley who returned to Tynecastle with Celtic, and played his game with out any inflammatory behaviour. One stupid mistake which he probably regrets now. You surely can't deny he was one of our best captains though and he gave 100 per cent and made sure that every other player in the team did. He played for the club for years and had the drive and spirit to drag us through games when it was against the odds. 2005/6 at Brockville we were to 2 nil down, Gordon sent off, he himself scored an og, and he powered the team forward and he scored 2 goals to get a vital point. No way do I want him as captain or particularly like the guy because is a bit of an arrogant trumpet. In my view though he was a great defender and brilliant captain for the club for years. That should not be forgotten and even if people choose to hate his guts the above paragraph should be acknowledged.

I am just fascinated by how one gesture a man made more than a decade ago has soured people's view of him for ever. I think life's too short for such grievances to persist but many seem to like to hold onto them. That cannot be good for anyone. Some people seem determined to live an unhappy life; who am I to stop them? Of course, I realise that Pressley is only a pantomime villain, and people don't actually hate him. I just find it incredibly sad that a man who gave so much to the cause, most capped, cup-winning captain (hardly two a penny), etc. never gets invited back, and doesn't get the recognition he richly deserves from us, the fans. Always a legend in my book. When I remember Pressley, I think his smashed teeth in the 4-0 game sums him up. One of the best days of our lives that was. He played his part.

Said on here many times over the years that Pressley did make a bit of a fud of himself but in no way did he disrespect the Hearts fans that day. He went to the Celtic fans who, let's not forget, hated him even being there as an ex-Rangers and Hearts player and his mis-guided behaviour actually made im look more foolish than anything else. I was over it by the time i'd got to the car at the end of the match. Whether Romanov was there or not, it was still a get-it-up-ye gesture to him one way or another. He would've been told about it and Pressley didn't go near Hearts fans or even look in their general direction. If it wasn't for him, Hartley and Gordon we might not've known what was starting to go on at the time. Also, he came back and played as a substitute in a friendly that had a selection of Cup-winning players from 1998 against 2006, don't remember him being booed that loudly, mostly clapping in fact. He got lucky when he went to Celtic and probably never ever dreamed he'd get that sort of money at that stage of his career, far less a couple of extra medals. Sure he didn't lose any sleep and had a very healthy bank balance to look back on. As for him as manager….absolutely no way! He's been a disaster everywhere he's went. No more looking back, let's look ahead and hope that Ann makes the correct appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
