Tommy Brown Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I loved the wee man. Really got a shit deal from all angles of our game. Well documented and no need to go over again. The elation when hammered in the winner against the Muppets was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Ahhh - Miko. Â Our rosy-cheeked xenophobe-target. Â Never got a fair throw of the dice after the cheating Hun ******* Andy Davis incident. Or the international at Hampden when he was violently scythed down by the hulking huddy of a Scottish defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_HMFC Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 He took my Lithuania flag when the bus came back in 06 from Hampden in Gorgie Rd .  When Miko was up for it he was unstoppable was an easy target for fans when not playing well as a team . I remember that goal against Hibs at tynie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) He was a great wee player.  Unfairly treated by the gutter press of this nation and by some of our own fans (the hat kickers).   Edited November 10, 2020 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Remember him coming on for his debut vs Livi at the Almondvale. Wednesday night fixture early 2005.  Direct wee winger with an eye for goal. Some cracking goals too. As others have said though. Thrown a bad hand with the Davies gate, and dick Gordon's moronic outburst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillsland jack Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Great wee player as were several other Lithuanians during their spell with us, I hope we can one day welcome them back to Tynecastle... to do the half time draw or just to appear on pitch at half time. I'm not talking about the mad one but the players who gave their all in a Maroon shirt, losing Big Zal has brought all this into perspective for me.

Wot sickens me now is the tannoy announcements u hear at every ground stating that they don't accept homophobic,xenophobic, racist behaviour!! Yet quite happily let miko get verbally abused at every ground he went to after the "dive"Â Since miko left us in 2009 we have had a lengthy list of divers & cheaters but none vilified in the same manner as miko was.The SFA allowed him to be treated that way .

Game at Pittodrie, Miko fouled constantly and no foul awarded. He goes down in the box, booked. Aberdeen fans boo all game at him.  I just about put my foot through the TV.

I always liked him but I just never realised he was quite 'that' good. And this was at a time I went to a lot of games. Wee Templeton was class too.

Leveins Battalion Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Great memories of Miko,harshly treated in this country. Â At the time I used to get a bit miffed at the amount of Lithuanians coming over but undoubtedly Zaliukas,Miko,Cesnauskis,Jankausakas and Velicka were top top players. Â Even guys like Barasa and the little attacker (cant remember his name) played their part. Â Good ti look back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
