I agree, the football might have been utterly dogshit while he was here but he certainly wasn’t anywhere close to being the biggest issue. Interestingly enough, he scored 5 less goals than Kyle Lafferty (who played 6 games more) but the way the two are generally spoke about, you’d think the difference between the two was on a par with say Vanecek and Robertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racists Lafferty is, rightly lauded for his goals but Isma who, I believe had a better goals ratio was “lazy”. The abuse his Mrs got was disgusting Isma scored 15 in 42 Lafferty scored 20 in 48 So the goal ratio does tip (very slightly) in Lafferty’s favour but it’s also worth remembering Kyle Lafferty done absolutely Jack shit in terms of being a team player (and only really put in 100% if he was playing Celtic) whereas Isma would always be the one trying to do whatever he could for the team, even if it meant he wouldn’t be on the scoresheet himself. One of these players is frequently described as “lazy” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 8 hours ago, Maple Leaf said: The Club subtracted all the expenses for the game from the gate receipts, and that included the cost of the ball. It was a huge PR error by the Club considering that Bauld was idolised by the fans. King Willie was not amused, but I don't think he actually bad-mouthed Hearts. He certainly would not have. A man of great class by all accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I’m not of an age to have seen Willie Bauld play but him, and Dave Mackay, were the players my dad talked about when he had partaken of a drink. I also remember being taken to see Willie in his shop as a kid before a game. Whatever the club did with Willie was wrong and should have been rectified at the time.
