It’s the lack of desire that annoys me. I compare this team with the one that won the Championship the last time we were there. We had a team of battlers and workers then. You really could not say that about quite a number that pulled on the jersey on Saturday. It took them till we were three nil down to show anything at all. That has to change and change quickly. Totally unacceptable for any Hearts team to find themselves 3 nil down at Tynecastle playing Raith Rovers. Tuesday night should be interesting. For me nothing short of a win is acceptable after last nights shambles. I hope Robbie makes that crystal clear to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, we have a formation that is designed to start quickly, get into games and put opposition under pressure and to hopefully to bed. And it's worked for a few games. But if the other teams starts a bit quicker we are so far off the pace for long spells of the rest of the game.

The team might be designed to do that with the emphasis on attacking players, but it's the players themselves that have to be up for it, and I haven't seen it very often this season, if at all.

Cruyff Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Don't actually mind him as a player or even his chit chat with Kyle and Ferry which is a bit light fluff. But aye, he's taking the piss now doing it in a national newspaper. He's clearly more focused on building his orc credentials for a future job on Rangers TV than he is playing for Hearts. Get him feckin launched ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgieheart Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I still have yet to see Halliday have an effective game for us. Clearly too busy writing the next sh@te script for his abundance of two-bit TV and Radio appearances , when he discusses all things Orc ! Bin Him !

mitch41 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Halliday is one of the lads, meaning a likeable gadgy who loves a laugh and joke with Robbie, Jig & Gordon. On the pitch he gets away with murder. Tackles , passing, showing for the ball he is guilty of being anonymous. I really don’t care what Halliday does on Friday because he has cheated and conned his way through games and it amazes me how the men in the dugout can’t see what we all see.

You have a good point though. My feelings on this wouldn't be different if he was storming it, it'd still stick in my craw, but the fact he's been a ghost for us so far, well, doesn't help. Footballers can have other business interests, of course, wee side hustles etc. But to be in the public domain fauning over the OF is sickening.

All for doing media work but just focus on the football for now We’ll be playing Rangers next year and one of our players is going on like a wee fanboy. Makes us look tinpot I agree. He's 29 not 33. His focus should be entirely on Hearts. Being an OF rentaquote isn't something which is endearing him to the support. We all knew signing him that he's a big Rangers fan which is absolutely fine and I totally expect the odd comment here and there about them. Thats his club and its fine. But he's hardly set the heather alight playing at a lower level and doing media work whilst not doing great in his day job is disappointing. I have no issue with him doing small amounts of media work here and there and even some internal stuff if he wants to build experience, but his focus needs to be on the day job. Next season is a step up in quality and if wants to play next year he can't be juggling what looks like not insignificant media commitments with the demands of playing for a club that should be aiming for best of the rest (3rd).

DS98 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If he was putting in stellar performances every week it wouldn’t even be an issue.

jbee647 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 There is no way Halliday will get away with this nonsense when we have crowds back at Tynecastle, he will be hounded for his level of performance, commitment to the club and his ala/Kris Boyd style Rangers love in nonsense In fact I fully expect that we will move him on in the summer, no one to blame but himself This is Hearts, Andy, we are not a Killie , St Mirren tinpot club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Agree with most of the comments on here but I would like to state he's only doing the podcast that he was doing before. It's nothing to do with him that rags are picking it up and making articles/headlines. If we want to get to where we want to be then I think he'd be decent cover but I'm sure Joe is planning on sweeping changes, especially in midfield.
