That’ll get the Record interested too. They love glorifying depraved murderous scumbags.

 

Yes they do. It's quite depressing.

 

I suppose they're just catering to their audience.

Making horrible, sociopathic *******s out to be some kind of anti-heroes from a shan Guy Richie film.

Gives folk something to aspire to.

 

Does my nut in.

In our new explosive six part series, we reveal the truth of Greenock’s heroin trade, and the hard men who run. 
 

Nah, yer alright mate. Can’t really say I give a toss.

Damaged his teeth and there was definitely blood because 2 of our players tweeted after it happened,  but then deleted the tweets once the police were involved.

This isnt a battle between players and the manager , this is a fishing exercise by the sun to try and add sauce to the unsourced rumour it published .

Us going down is a massive story for them ,hamilton or the midden isnt ,they will try to engineer such a situation ,its shat the tabloid arseholes do .Its a blatant attempt to turn us all against each other .

So until I see hard fact not gossip to show different I will stand with the club ,the manager and the players and against the sun .

In fact the club should revoke the suns privileges especially for the cup game .


yesss! It’s a conspiracy!!

Equally amazed to see you blindly defending the club, which you’ll continue to do until relegation occurs (and probably afterwards too).

 

People asked why we don’t ban the Sun - probably because there are elements of truth to this story and the club are wary of being called out.

 

Where exactly am I "blindly defending the club"?  Try to keep your fantasist tendencies under control for goodness sake.

What are you wittering about ,standard tabloid tactics ,chase the rumour try to create a story ,

Push forward rumour as truth , its not a anti hearts thing ,its a big club in trouble story .

Same would happen to the sheep or hibs in our position.

As yet the rumours have no foundation but the story has generated clicks onto the sun page ,creating them money . Its created more gossip .to the point players the club even our supposed record mole has said its shit ( creating of course clicks for the daily record page)

It's about how tabloids operate they do the same when chasing celebrities or politicians .

 

Best way to deal with it win games get out of the bottom of the league .

You're just pissed because you never made it in to their mini-series on Wester Hailles’ hardest men. Don’t sweat it though, if they do one on WH shortest men, you’ll be front cover news.

Think Elwood P is getting a hard time to be honest. 

 

Outside of Edinburgh Stendel is not very highly rated,  less so than Levein I'd say. 

 

If you get out of the Hearts camp and talk to fans of other clubs,  they seem quite happy we have gone from one ridiculous extreme to the other whilst gaining even less points per game. 

 

Leveins time was clearly up in the summer for me,  personally I would have been happy if we had done something back then. 

 

The timing has been shit but quite frankly Stendel has done little to convince anyone other than those who are desperate for him to be a success for their own egos,  he's the answer. 

 

Mistakes just keep happening. Time is running out he says. 

 

Stendel roulette I've seen his team selection named, goes for his tactics too.

 

Some should swallow pride and admit this is not what they expected. 

 

There is still time for him but by this juncture,  with pretty much all of our better choices there,  we should have more wins on the board

Perhaps because he suggested Levein should return? Just saying.

What other fans think of Hearts - be that of the manager, players, stand, or the quality of tea we sell, is of no concern to me. To use that as any kind of argument is frankly ludicrous.

I understand that, in fact, I alluded to the problems continuing using the current system. However, we adopted an extremely cautious approach under Levein. Do you think we need to meet somewhere in the middle between Levein and Stendel, at least in the interim?

 

That person is John Robertson. Has the love of Hearts and knowledge of the club and Scottish football of Levein and the likeable personality and more attacking philosophy of Stendel (although not as attacking obviously, I don't think I've ever seen a manager neglect the defensive side of the game the way he has, certainly not a Hearts manager.)

Never thought I’d say this but I’m far more inclined to believe the Sun’s story than I am the club rebuttal of it.

:rofl:

 

You're willing to believe anyone or anything that has a go at the club.

 

A Hearts man you are not.

 

The Sun has a long history of absolute lies, we all know this. To believe them over something you claim to love and support is laughable.

Absolutely. Possibly the worst being blaming Liverpool supporters for their deaths because the Sun said they were drunk. A complete and utter fabrication that caused untold additional misery for bereaving families.

I’m not necessarily arguing for Craig Levein now, more than we need a change of system under Stendel or change manager (again). 
 

Is nobody concerned that we were a point or so behind Hibs, we’re still at the foot of the table, whilst Hibs are looking up at 3rd as a realistic target? Nothing separated the two teams, we had just won the Edinburgh Derby. They now sit 17 points above us!

 

I was kindly reminded that there was 1 point between the teams when we sacked Levein and they sacked Heckinbottom.  The fact that they are 17 points ahead of us now after 3 months (and the fact they are garbage) is a complete and utter piss-take/unforgivable IMO.

The facts show the opposite. The Sun has a long history of fabricating stories. A bit like a good few moaners on here.

Hearts players and fans need to come together as we are in a relegation dogfight.    If we can get to the split on the same points on par with Hamilton and St Mirren the games after the split will be bouncing. Team talk for Friday is straight forward - these scumbags lay down in 1986 and we need to go out and blow them off the park. Sun are a bunch of Wegie scumbags who are mischief making. Any player or fan not up for the fight or getting behind the team for the rest of the games can sit at home and twiddle their thumbs

Did they not claim some of them picked the pockets of the victims? Whatever someone’s football affiliations, I don’t understand people continuing to give money to that publication.

Anyone who thinks our dressing room is sweetness and light knows nothing about football. Although that would cover a fair number of people on here.

Neither it should be. The story though, is in the main, shite.

Great post Sir Gio. Summed the situation up quite precisely. It’s worrying times. The other two/three clubs at the bottom have managers with skin in the game and are desperate to stay up. Our hasn’t been around long enough to      be fully invested in our future. He could walk away in May with no real impact on his career.

There’s two of you now👍🏼 Gio wasn’t very enthusiastic at the beginning either I recall. 
I appreciate we’ve taken a risk but I’m glad we have. The only mistake so far is not running levein out of Tynecastle with a sharp instrument. You pair want another Craig Levein or Stuart McCall or Neil McCann well I’m sorry but balls to that. I’ve had enough of that same same crap that has gotten us next to nowhere in my entire 30 odd years following this club. 
Im on the Stendel train for better or worse. We go down they so be it. We can get in one of your favoured god awful journeymen managers in after that.

Couldn’t it be that people aren’t just ‘desperate for him to be a success for their own egos’ @Sir Gio

perhaps a minority are. But most will be desperate for him to succeed because we’re hearts fans and are desperate to claw ourselves out of relegation.

 

the sun is and always has been crammed with sensationalist guff

 

taking an ‘article ‘ like this at face value especially when there’s no source, no quotes is plain naive 

I laughed when I read the ‘heated exchange ‘ bit about Clare and changing shape in the first half - he had to - we were two down after about 15 minutes ffs! Sensationalist crap

 

I’d expect some disgruntlement in a dressing room when we’re bottom of the league. What matters is channelling that in a way that helps not hinders us.  Fingers crossed stendel can help the team do that
