If we ever needed a result the team I’d pick to play is Hearts

 

We we are a mess. This team is broken.
Hearts are favourites for this weekend.

 

 

 So, they think mibbes aye,Mibbes naw.................... I think aye !

 

We won't beat celtic for them again unless they are beaten on Sunday and I assume that they get this notion

Nostalgia does funny things to the mind tbh.

The 98 Hearts team was utter shite the season after, this Hearts team looks like having a 3rd, 4th, 3rd behind it.

 

Imo we are witnessing the best Hearts  side since the 80's.

 

No idea if the 98 Hearts side would batter this side, we never will.

 

 

They were  shite in a vastly stronger league.  
 

you made a very valid and accurate point about the quality of players the huns had then and now, yet for some reason don’t believe hearts and every other club haven’t suffered from same problem to varying degrees.  

 

You genuinely believe that Scottish football is as strong.  Good for you Baz.  I’ll have some of what your smoking

As per you jump to conclusions and get all excited, no grey area with you.

 

That is not what I've said at all.

 

I don't think our market for players has changed that much since 98, although there is more competition. 

I have no idea if the 98 would batter this team, it's a childish thought and cannot ever be determined,  it's a poor place to try and win this argument you've created.

 

The transfer market Rangers  and the OF are shopping in is of a massively reduced quality, celtic and rangers had elite players in their sides- some at peak age , they are a bit of that now.

I've gave big examples of that.

They are shopping in a vastly inferior market, ours is far less obvious if it is lower in quality.i can see arguments for both opinions,  if folk want to discuss that.

 

imo We are still shopping in the same market and although the competition is stronger,  we as a club are in a better position than 98 in terms of finance which directly impacts our ability to attract players.

 

Scottish football is down the toilet,  has been for 2/3 decades but imo our position to attract players or not hasn't changed too much ( vlad years apart).

Yip, we aren't far-off it and that's on the back of 3rd and 4th place, if we manage 3rd or 4th again next season then this era of Hearts is better than 98, we were very inconsistent.

 

In fact it would be the best since the 60's, just need a trophy or 3 and better our recent narrow final defeats.

Sorry but you can run as many seasons of 3rd and 4th together as you want and call it consistency. (I call it expectation but whatever) but the 98 team are legends to a man. They won the Scottish cup for the first time in decades, beating one of the best Rangers teams ever assembled in the process and going very close to winning the league until we lost just a wee bit of impetus towards the end.

 

Consistently achieving your expected position is just like it sounds. Pretty mundane without a trophy to go along with it

we finished 7 points behind a far stronger rangers team and a far stronger Celtic team.  Numbers and would have won the league in 1998 has Cameron not been injured.   Still I think we’d have had enough in 23/24

 

anyway.  All a pipe dream

 

Was Cameron out injured in 97/98?  I honestly can’t remember but he certainly played in the final.  He was injured most of 98/99 and was one of the main reasons we struggled so much (ironically once he returned our form improved so much that we would have won the league the season before with that end of season form). 
 

I always maintained that if Robbo had been a couple of years younger we would have won the league in 98.  Instead he was over the hill and loaned out to Dundee for a spell.

Unsure of your point tbh.

98 were legends,  your argueing with your self on this one.

 

We've won 3 major trophies in about 60 seasons, not every trophyless seasons was  mundane , so disagree strongly on that point.

 

If we finish  top 4 for 3 consecutive seasons, its maybe the 2nd time since the 60's we'd have done that so no idea why any Hearts fan would trivialise such consistency-  very strange to me.

 

Tbh, I've no idea why we're comparing the 98 team to this team either, even more confused why the 98 team is being used to discredit and play down the current team, why?

It's really all depends on what we mean.

 

In terms of consistent league placing this is the best period for Hearts since the 50s. Therefore you could argue its the best Hearts team since the 50s.

 

However, I doubt when we are in our 90s having a dram we'll remember consistency.... we'll remember the teams that got so close to greatness 85/86.. and the ones that achieved it 97/98, 05/06 and 11/12. 

 

I'm loving Hearts right now. Its a Rollercoaster and the days or fighting for a draw at home to Hamilton might be around a corner but I have a wee feeling this team might... might... be one that is remembered.

Yeah I agree with most of that but and you can maybe argue about the period but you can’t argue it has been the best Hearts “team”  since the 1950s on the basis that we have had 3 different teams over the past 3 seasons and none of them have been anywhere near as good as the teams we had in 85/86, 96/98 or 05/06.  We have also had other numerous runners up finishes during that period.   As a team the last 3 seasons I’d say we’ve been distinctly average but with consistent league finishes.

Neilson figured that out in the Championship game at Tynecastle a few years ago when he played Robbie Muirhead, yes, who now plays at Morton, right up against him and he got 2 goals.....in both cases with Tavernier posted missing somewhere upfield.

 

It's always surprised me how so few opposition managers have figured this out.

He's the biggest chancer I've seen in the Scottish game in many a year. Garbage defender who's got away with it because of the standard of this league. 

 

Highest goalscoring defender in Britain but how will he compare in the pantheon of Rangers captains. Right at the bottom in terms of tangible honours. His hangdog expression is priceless. Many of the Huns know he's a liability but overlook ot ordinarily when he's scoring against jobbers. How the mighty have fallen when that is the captain of Rangers.

Having a respectful debate and you start with the personal slurs again.  No one got excited, but this is your MO isn’t it, you’d start a fight in an empty room if anyone so much as has an alternative view then go down the weak deflection route.  

 

Anyway, If you think Frankie Kent could lace David Weirs boots, or think Forrest is comparable to Mcannn, or think Devlin is comparable to Cameron or salvatori or Fulton, or Mackay comparable to Flogel then I think you’d be in an extremely small minority.  It’s your opinion which you are entitled to but it’s out there.

 

of course there are exceptions to that, I gave those examples but in general terms no we aren’t shopping in the same market ( you seem to interpet the same clubs as the same market but that’s not the point I’m making, we no longer have access to the same level of talent inside of Scotland as the level has fallen across the board , and as before no we wouldn’t be able to attract players of the quality  Adam or Flogel or Salvatori, wage inflation makes that impossible.  This level of player with that level of experience would be on multiples of our top wage and in the championship at a minimum.

If a player of Neil McCann’s talent were available today, a guy of that talent he likely would never have been at Dundee for us to sign. He’d have been hoovered into an English academy system at a young age.  To buy a prime McCann would cost 8 figures + these days and he’d command wages commensurate with that number.

 

Colin Cameron - see above. Every bit as good as John McGinn is now at a far earlier stage in his career. 
 

David Weir.  We kept David weir for 4 years.  To but David Weir quality player now? What £30,0000,000 maybe? Unbelievable player.
 

Stephane Adam.  We were paying stef £10k per week when we signed him. What is £10k per week in today’s money ? 4/5 times that? 

if we did luckily manage to find / secure a real top player, we’d lose him immediately - see Aaron Hickey if you want an example 

 

of course we could still buy from the Scottish championship but that’s not the point!  (Though I’m not sure we could buy an Austrian international with 30* caps or a striker who regularly started in the French top division  )

 

It’s got nothing to do with “what” club we can attract players from.  The level of player in the championship and available to hearts isn’t what it was either, the standard has slipped across the board  - it’s not even remotely close.

 

There is NO way whatsoever any of the players I mentioned would be at Hearts if playing today.  That quality is miles out of our reach 

I agree standards have slipped. 

 

I was more taking issue with the claim that hearts couldn't sign players from today's Scottish championship. 

 

Granted you weren't saying that. 

 

It's all ifs and buts, those players were Scottish 1st div players at the time though but yeah in today's game they wouldn't have been, they'd be English championship or celtic/rangers players.

Come on TF with this 98 / 06 team would beat the current team nonsense

[TexasAndy]

I have slightly mixed emotions about the Celtic v Aberdeen semi.  A win for Celtic guarantees 3rd for Euro groups.  That of course would give us the scenario that we would have to beat both the uglies to win the cup.  Not impossible but hey ho.  An Aberdeen win tomorrow would dangle a really nice carrot as I think we would relish a Cup Final against the sheep.  That however comes with the danger of actually losing our auto group stage to the same team that screwed us last year.   Hearts v Aberdeen cup final?  Winner takes all?  Yes, bring it on.

Disagree tbh, championship clubs and the OF could still buy these players in 98.

These players weren't out of their reach, we just got in there, a bit like Shankland and Souttar.

 

If rangers or  English championship clubs wanted the likes of  Weir or Mcann direct from the club's we got them from in 98 they would have got them. They could still easily out bid us and pay more wages back then.

 

We taken the punt on them, developed them and then they were sold on.

 

Not many players are going  direct from Raith, Dundee etc to 1st team players in the English Championship  or the OF.

 

There is no way in hell  rangers or celtic  are signing guys at or near their peak like Larrson,  Di canio, Laudrup, Gazza, the Dutch players, Close, even Sutton. These types are miles out of reach now for the OF.

We can still attract the best players domestically from other sides - Souttar,  Dhanda,  Shankland, Neilson, Forrest,  Halkett,  Spittal etc prove that imo.

Even got youngsters from England's top flight  in Beni, Cochrane.

 

Hibs and Aberdeen have done this a well.

 

We can and are still attracting players from the same market,  although competition is maybe a bit more intense and if they do develop and play well  keeping them is almost impossible.

That also hasn't changed much tbh Either, it's just that they are pissing of to a widee range clubs

 

Celtic/ rangers are pushed that much out of the elite market they can't/ won't even pay  for Scottish talent- Doig, Hickey, Miginn being recent examples.

You genuinely believe that Scottish football is as strong.  Good for you Baz.  I’ll have some of what your smoking 

 

I wasn't a Hearts fan (or for that matter watching much football, as it was effectively impossible in the states at the time without a satellite dish) at the time so I'm really on the outside looking in on these things. But I always have trouble squaring these glowing memories of the 1990s teams with the records.

 

In 1996/97, Rangers played in the Champions League and scrapped together a measly 3 points in a group with Ajax (the eventual runners up), Auxerre, and Grasshopper. This was of course when folk held on to the quaint idea that the Champions League should actually be made of champions, which meant that those competing were no mugs but it was also a much more dilute competition than now when it's chock full of the top clubs from the big 5 leagues. The following season, having added names like Gattuso and of course their top spend, the impenetrable wall named Lorenzo Amoruso , they were papped out of the competition at the first asking by Strausbourg just like they were a Brendan Rodgers side.

 

That mighty 05/06 Hearts team nearly lost the final to Gretna and the following season in Europe were brushed aside by AEK and Sparta Prague.

 

 

Comparing that with how current Scottish football has fared, a couple seasons ago a St. Johnstone team that narrowly avoided relegation went to Galatasaray and eked out a draw. Rangers recently took the Europa League final to extra time. The Celtic side we beat in the Beattie game went on to beat one of the best European club sides ever assembled the next season and qualified out of a very difficult CL group.

 

 

I accept that we don't get quite the players we used to. I accept that Celtic and Rangers were operating at a level beyond what they are operating at now. I just don't think the gap is as big as it's made out to be. The biggest thing to me is that all of Scottish football operates in the media shadow of the wealthiest league ever to exist in football and it makes it look impoverished by comparison, and worse, their annoying sidekick league gets enough dribble-down wealth that they hoover up domestic players.

 

And yet the new European setup has the potential to give us a boost so we can stop having ****ing Blackpool fans think they can go shopping through our roster like we're a ****ing discount bin at Tesco. I don't think 97/98 levels are unreachable for us. With a bit of luck and some clever moves, I think we could start seeing more signings like those in a few years.

I tell you what, if you'd asked me to predict the playoff dress rehearsal yesterday between Partick and Airdrie, there's no way I'd have predicted 4-0 Thistle. I can't wait to watch those two go at it over 2 legs. I think whoever wins that will get the better of Raith too. Although I just can't see any of them toppling the Premiership side this year.
