Boab Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 20 minutes ago, jambonian said: To be honest there was a lot of games he/the team were booed off the field before he left for MK Dons. I remember some dodgy substitutions, taking off attacking-type players and replacing them with defensive-type players leaving nothing up-field if we were under pressure and scrambling the ball away from our penalty box. Doing that rather than killing a team off cost us quite a few goals late in games and let's not forget, there was no outrage/uproar from the fans when he left, something that tends to be forgotten. I know a Dundee Utd fan and funnily enough he and loads of their fans (he said) were quite happy that Neilson had gone. He reckoned they'd lost out on a year earlier Premier return because of some of his tactics. I wouldn't know as i rarely watched them but i have no reason (or right) to doubt his words. He's been a season ticket holder up there since the early 90s. I can’t remember a lot of games where the team were booed off. Was only five years ago, less really, and while the football wasn’t fantastic, we were sitting in second when he upped sticks. Not saying you are wrong but don’t remember it being as bad as when CL was in a bit of soapy. The exit from Europe done it for him though. A shocking state of affairs. Brora is a deja vu moment for the bobster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apathy from the stands at times matched the apathy on the pitch! The only time I can remember any real hostility in recent times was when the Rangers fans in hospitality started to noise up the Hearts fans in the SC game.

Gambo Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 What we're the award winners thinking not giving Neilson Manager of the Year award? Did they not know he got us out the toughest league in the world with a budget of more than the combined budget of all other teams on league? Did they not know he alone had to work miracles whilst in middle of a pandemic? Did they not know we had no fans in attendance? Did they not know we came back training weeks in advance of our rivals? Did they mot know we signed 5 wingers? FFS, why is he still here? I'm hoping that Ann is letting FoH sack him when handover happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Prentice Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Not seen it discussed elsewhere but Nielson's interview on Scarves around the Funnel has given me pause for thought. Seems to know what he's doing and to be committed to lowering the age of the squad and getting into the top 4. Not turned back into a happy clapper yet but I'm a bit more encouraged and willing to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be the same group that hold him to account for hibs winning it last time tho, so no net gain or loss in terms of support. That group was never going to give him a chance, no matter what. Brora on it's own is his shame and the players shame. What hibs do and most will agree ( apart from that small group) has very little or nothing to do with Hearts once we are out.

Saw the new scarves episode appear and went to listen this morning but on seeing that Robbie was on couldn't face it. Been a long year listening to the same old excuses and had honestly given up on him and the current regime. Expected to come on here and find a huge thread ripping into him after the interview- so suprised only a few comments- and even more so that they're positive. Sounds like I'll need to give it a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) A reasonable interview from whispering Bob. He does seem to be a thoughtful chap so hopefully he takes the criticism onboard and adopts a less cautious approach, if he's going to get hounded out he might as well go down swinging. When you hear him talking it's difficult to imagine him inspiring players to run through brick walls for the team, you can understand why they end up playing his trademark walking football. On a side note, the presenter patronisingly calling Rob 'son' reminded me why I don't subscribe to this podcast anymore.

You went from proclaiming Bob's upward projectory, to calling for his sacking after Brora, then quickly moved on to trying to ridicule anyone that didn't flip flop as fast as you. The league wasn't in doubt when you wanted him sacked, so it's a flimsy excuse for your spectacular volte-face. You've made over 600 posts on a thread where you apparently only agreed with the title for a few days. Remind me who's angry again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
