Swashbuckling, Attacking Football

Hopefully Souttar will make a big difference as no reason to be poor with Gordon, Smith, Kingsley and Halkett all good players also.

If he can get back to his best it’ll beat the best signing we’ll make this coming close season. Another solid centre back on top of JS would make a huge difference. 

[Pasquale for King]

Looks like Glass is demanding some swashbuckling attacks.

You'll just be another sheep without a mind of your own then.

Duly noted.

But if I had the same opinion as you I’d have a mind of my own? You obviously don’t do irony.

Hard to believe that's how the article says we played that season when we see the current rubbish we have to suffer.

 

"Says we played" We did play that way, quite often under Neilson. And we've even done it this season.

good thread though. The thread where you moved up from being the best hearts fans in the world to the hearts fan that understands football better than anyone else. Managed to upset an OAP in the process. What’s the next level up for you now. How can you rise any further in your quest for complete kickback superiority. 

At the risk of upsetting Bully......

The jury is still out on Kingsley defensively and we need an upgrade on Halkett, he’s not good enough.

An example to us all. All the women want to be with you, all the men want to be like you. A giant amongst men. Hearts are lucky to have you. Why not regale the crowd with one of your travelling 1000’s of miles to a game stories.

Indeed mate, hats off to you. You are to Hearts what Ali was to boxing.

There's no such thing as bad or boring or negative or eye bleeding football. 

 

Thousands of pitches across the country prove that.

 

There is a lot of silly wee Sheep on here and social media that have extreme difficulty in thinking for themselves and deep down should really and probably have at one point followed the bigots.

I seen a program lately about the Saudi gov having a big team of positive spinners working on social media, has AB employed you for this purpose?

If you don't think some football is subjectively boring compared to other football then you're dafter than you act on here. Maybe stick to colouring books.

Pre the St Mirren injury last season he was decent in my opinion so I think he might be OK. Kingsley I like as a wing back as opposed to full back.

I make plenty of constructive contributions but when it comes to your constant personal insulting comments against fellow JKB’s it’s the only response you deserve.

[MoncurMacdonaldMercer]

Only happened in a few games or in the last 20 minutes of games when the candlestick makers and cabbies ran out of legs

 

great achievement to win promotion and win or draw so many games that year the style of football has become an absolute myth

 

swashbuckling against hibs - nah against rangers nope (though did play well after they went down to 10 men in the 2-0 game)

 

swasbuckling games I can remember - Raith away 4-0 livi home 5-0 Cowdenbeath 10-0

 

im sure there are couple more but can’t remember them

 

when we won 2-1 at qos we were excellent - dominant after we equalised (pallardo v good) and got our reward in the end  -with a scrappy winner - it was a very old firm type performance and very good but more persistent than swashbuckling

 

what are the 10-15 games I’m missing - mind choose ones you saw cos lots like the 4-1 home against qos totally flattered us and swashbuckling it wasn’t (other than last 15 mins or so) ?

Re "irony" - I thought that was very funny. I didnt realise you had a sense of humour. You should use it more often.  In my opinion of course.

5-1 against Dumbarton and Alloa 3-0 against falkirk were above average/swashbuckling performances too

 

thats 6 so far I can remember most/all of the rest being professional old-firm-type (relatively speaking) effective performances eg the 2 away games to livi

 

this season we’ve had Dundee Raith and alloa that we’re above average

We've hit 6 three times this season, a five and a four. What more do people want, I just dont know 

 

 

Just because you climax during sex does not mean you are very good at it!

 

What people want is entertained, a cohesive and fairly identifiable game plan, a forward pass or 2,  a decent cross once in a while, a team that look as if they have trained that week rather than just attended, maybe even introduce themselves to each other!

Not working so far. 

More swashbuckling required.

Ignoring the ridiculous sex comment, how can a team win the league if they are not at least some of these things most of the time?

All Scottish Cup weekend has taught me, Scottish football in general is brutal, we should not really be worried about the opposition, just ourselves 

[Tazio]

Barcelona just scored this one. It pretty much defines the thread title.

I’d have to agree that Halkett has been dodgy in a Hearts shirt. The weird thing is that he got rave reviews playing in the SPL for Livingston, and signing him was supposed to be something of a coup.
