Back when Robbie had the reigns the strategy was to focus on home grown players and compliment with older heads/experience, now we seem to be playing football manager and turning over the squad at every opportunity. The amount of money being frittered away is really getting on my jotters, not least because some of it is mine... Not sure we have good enough youngsters coming through to work that way. I'd love a Scottish core but the value isnt there. Other clubs like motherwell seem to manage a good blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, but when you gave the money to Hearts it becomes their money, not yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many chortles, about our past encounters with Hibs, I can still have to myself during these times, is 1998. We win the cup and they go down.

She brought stendel in to be a miracle work and he's shown himself not to be, it simply was too big a task with the shite at his disposal. Relegation will not kill us as a club, but it will finally rid us of budge and co. Absolutely. Her failure to get rid of Levein will be her legacy, but as long as we clear out Loser Levein, Budge and almost all of the players, we'll be OK. Hopefully a new broom will sweep clean.

Last night was huge for us and only 1 team turned up and they werent the frauds in maroon. If the players fail to take anything from livvy( which is bloody unlikely) then we start saying yes but we can catch county etc etc etc. I'm just facing reality. We dont have the fight in those shitebags to get out of trouble. I know but we can’t give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Grand Prix cancelled. Scottish Government ban all gatherings with over 500 folk from next week. The performance wing at Riccarton has been quarantined as someone is being tested who works there.

portobellojambo1 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) The thing that stuck in my head last night was how easily the team reverted to playing the way we were before Stendel arrived. We were talking about it on the bus coming home and the expression that developed from the way we were playing was comfort football, we reverted to trying not to lose a game we actually needed to win, and as was often the case when playing that way we lost. The other teams know that if they don't attack us we will revert to playing the ball sideways, backwards, out the park, back to the old days of how we played almost everyone. I agree with those who say we are not down yet, there are still points available, it is now 100% in our own hands as to whether we stay up or go down. It doesn't have to be deemed as bigoted, it doesn't have to be accompanied by anything that would suggest such, but what we need in our dressing is a sign put up on the wall that says nothing more than No Surrender. Better to go down fighting than go down by throwing in the towel. Based on last night, I'm honestly not certain we can get anything against Livingston, but we sure as hell have to try and do so. Then Ross County come to Tynecastle, absolutely nothing but 3 points from that will do. The trip to Aberdeen, they are more likely to come at us, and that in itself, in a strange way, is probably something that could benefit us, if the game opens up.

I remember Gorgie Road being demolished shop by shop after failing to beat Ayr once. You can’t condone it but nowadays you simply cannot voice or show your frustrations at the shambles our club has become. If Budge stays on salaries and also Levein then it’s going to get worse as both had a huge part to play in this decline on the field. They think they are cleverer than the average jo chimp. Where do we think Ann B stumbled across the name Stendel? It was time to respect where we were, recognise that teams rarely ever got out of that position at xmas, and hired a fixer ,who knew the league and had longststanding record of proven mgmt and team building. Seems to me we thought we were too good to go down, despite stats, and spun the dice, again. Amateur hour, with the sums involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
