A team of Hearts misfits pushing on for top 6. All far older and in their peak tho. They have all went back a level for a few years then came back up to the level they were originally at. Another argument against the academy imo, average youngsters with potential just don't get the chance at a club like us as they aren't good enough on break through as regulars and our club wants more instant success so signs older , proven players. These young guys then drop down a level, mature, develop then rise back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, Ross Calachan played well against Livi too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it in a pub with some locals. For some reason it was on down south ?maybe early Sky coverage? Tried to interest them in the game beforehand and they were quite up for watching it over a pint. I explained how superior we were man for man and I expected 3 or 4 -0 After about 40 minutes one of them broke ranks saying "This is sh*t!" I couldn't disagree with any conviction. They came across for a bit of the extra time "This is still sh*t!!!!" Then when we were out they broke into laughter at my face Not a happy bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took weeks to get over it, 95 took a year until we beat Sheep in the semi. Was early Sky you are right.

His bookings and more importantly his red cards give evidence to his "recklessness". With only one red card, it would indicate your opinion is incorrect and the Bob fellow is correct. 😴😴😴😴😴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 5 hours ago, upgotheheads said: He's finally making his mark as a striker, when as somebody said earlier, he always wanted to be a midfielder. He was about the worst passer of a ball I've seen at Tynecastle, his passes sort of bumbled across the grass and rarely found their target. Think he was. Not so sure about Holt though he always played with his head up, which I liked. The player who's caught my eye most though is Ross Callachan. I think he was dumped on the back of one mistake at Motherwell (in a cup game I think). We could have done with him last season ahead of Damour and various other mediocrities. Callachan did ok for us. Could've been a useful player who would give his all for the badge being a Jambo. Chipped in with a few goals too IIRC. Defo be an improvement on Damour as you say mate.

Only about 10 or 11,000 showed up at Humpdump, then far more of a shithole than it is now. I watched it 30 miles away from you in a Swindon pub. They took an early lead with a free kick by Kenny Black! After a dire dour battle, Alan McLaren equalised bang on 90, forcing extra time which I thought we’d cruise. But pens it was 😩 An utterly dire awful spectacle and the 2nd season on the trot Airdrie had put us out the Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
