Ooooh, you’re in trouble now. I used to go out with a lassie from Westhill I’ll have you know and very nice underwear she used to wear as well. Not even wool lined. 


Westhill eh! Surprised she knew what underwear was coming from there….

Feedback from Brighton and Hove is very favourable it seems. Look forward to getting a look at him in due course

You should make a decision either way now mate. Waiting to see him play is just playing it too safe. 

I like to go by what I call the Hartley equation. Initial whelm over Sad farewell after moments of joy = Career.

This can be counter balanced by the Whelan factor. Wow over He can’t be arsed = GTF

If Kingsley is crocked then this signing 100% makes sense, particularly as he's out of contract at the end of the season.

 

Let's hope he comes in, does well, enjoys it up here and signs permanently at the end of the season.

we will see what , still not explained what we will see apart from we are getting players ready to play for Hibs.

 

 

You have lost it with this post
 


How will they be destroyed? Either you are incredibly obstinate or haven’t a ****ing clue about youth development and why players get dropped in and out of teams , go on loan etc. Harry Stone is imo better than Ross Stewart but if it was upto me I wouldn’t throw Harry in to the first team so why would I throw all these youngsters in if I didn’t need to and put them at risk.  We have a pathway but its rightfully not going here you are 16 you did ok once you can start every week from now on. Cheers

 


Far too sensible for Bongo

 


🤣🤣 I use my twitter but avoid most of the comments. Hearts Facebook Groups are mental 🤣 Not looked at one in about two years I think. Easy a year since I was last on fb itself too. Peaceful non negative (apart from the loons on here) lives are best

Remind me how much minutes both Doig and Hickey had, before making there debuts?

We had players 30-35 years ago at 21,22years old being dependable and taking the responsibility on their shoulders playing for a club like Hearts.  It’s time more his age did so now.  

 

He’s coming from a good grounding, will come into a proper competitive arena and I have a feeling he’ll warm to it.  We need to stop looking at 21 and 22 years olds as “laddies” and start getting them in the mindset it’s their responsibility to perform and not be carried.

Doig I couldn’t tell you as I pay no attention to the greeny hobbity types unless its to laugh at them. Learn to do it it makes life more fun. 
 

Hickey is an exception to the rule , he was also in a situation that we shouldnt find ourselves in where we have to throw a player in. You know nothing about youth development and have never been at that level yourself if you think tossing every potentially good player into the first team and just going for it is the correct way to develop them. For 99% of them it definitely isn’t.

I might be wrong here, and not making any point, but was there something in the past that teams who have helped developed players in the way of loans also get a cut of a fee!?  Did I just make that up!?

Says who, having them in and around that first team environment keeps them hungry 😉

 

But i suppose going out on loan is similar. 

 

Hickey is the exception remind me who the lad that is centre midfield for Scotland, who did he go out and learn his trade from.

Cochrane said in his interview he can play left centre back as well, so could come in handy as backup or if we play a 3.

I do think we need younger legs in the team. Think we had one of the oldest squads in the championship 

 

We did and Robbie stated that he wants to sign mainly players under the age of 26 to bring the average age of the team down.

 

He has done that with Cochrane.

How many games /loans did cochrane have before making his debut with us?

If you’re referring to Gilmour, he’s played about 15-20 first team games in 2 seasons. 
 

The u23 league in England (where Cochrane has also played) is a lot more advanced than the shitty u20s reserve league whatever you wanna call it up here and the standard is a barrel load higher. And FYI, he’s on the verge of signing for Norwich on loan. 👍🏽

The way to develop youth players is to chuck them out on loan, so they play in leagues that have no intentions of playing football, and we wonder why are nation is so far off it 😂

The fact is he's good enough to play first team football.

Agree with everything except the part in bold. Saying Brighton’s Youth set up is a higher level than the SPL is a bit “Jordan McGhee” :wink: 

I never said that.

 

Brighton are playing at a higher level than Hearts therefore their youth players might not be deemed good enough for the Epl.

It's Like us loaning a youth player to the championship or league one as they aren't good enough for the top flight.

Right… again you’ve lost me. Gilmour has only played 15-20 odd games in 2 seasons and you’re saying that’s the bar we should be aiming for our youth players?

Yeah the league is that advanced that they have actively had to come up to Scotland, to find there talent so advanced that league ohh the English 😂

How much ‘football’ do you think they’ll play in Robbie Neilson’s side. Get them out to a team where they can play every week and toughen them up a bit.

This is a completely different argument though. I agree that we need to fundamentally change the way we do things in this country.

 No you're making out that they have to go out on loan that's the norm yet, Hickey,Doig, Patterson, Gilmour go against you're point.

Can coaches make mistakes on young players 🤔I mean, we only let one go that a club has just turned down more money that what we received for Hickey 🙄

 

But he wasn't good enough either wasn't the coaches fault, yet the guy who let him go, is now on the radio hoping he does well 🤔

 

But at the time he considered him not good enough. 

 

Just Arsenal, Leeds, Celtic, Watford, Man City all showing interest in him, but Smith our academy is shi** 🙄 these players aren't ready. 

 

 

 

Ofc coaches make mistakes, but even with Doig ( I assume) , he wasn't good enough for Hearts when he was with us, he wasn't the best player in his position at the club.

 

Players will leave then get older and develop, doesn't mean that at the time when they were teenagers they should have been playing for us, surely you are not suggesting we just play a bus load of youth over better players just in case 1 or 2 get us a fee later on. I cannot see how that will improve Hearts or get us to where we need to be.

 

You really stretch everything to have a go at the club, as suggested you should maybe not only take a break for JKB but Hearts in general.

Yeah, I was pretty meh about this signing when it was announced, but the fact he can play a few roles and is highly thought of makes it sound a fair bit better. Brighton fans speak highly of him as well on their forum. Seems a good character.

Gilmour by all accounts is going on loan from Chelsea to Norwich.

Obviously Herr Tuchel is not guaranteeing him first team football for Chelsea next season.

I told him that but he doesn’t read what he doesn’t wanna see. His point is complete honky tonk he’d need a cherry picker to get himself out the hole he’s dug.

One of their posters commented on their message board and thinks we're a balanced lot :rofl: 

 

Go back further than page 253 and you'll change your mind pal :lol: 

 


They seem quite a well balanced lot up there - compared to Aberdeen anyway! A bit of negativity of the 'never heard of him', 'we don't need a back up LB' kind, but quite a lot of positivity too. They seem quite well informed ...........
"Incoming signing from Brighton."
"We're getting someone from Hibs parent club."
"Hope it's not Duffy!"

Here's a link, for anyone interested; the news breaks around page 253 for those who want to scroll back.

Suggest he can play central midfield as well. Left sided central midfielder with pace is something we haven’t really had for a while. Boz was close but short on pace.

It might not have been what you meant but I highlighted it from your post :lol: 

 

He hasn’t played for Brighton in the league as far as I can tell so I’m going to stand by the fact he’s a youth player. Still, let’s hope he can make a name for himself with us and put in some good performances when called upon.

Doig himself has said that he didn’t do himself justice at Hearts. Wasn’t disciplined or mature enough to realise the opportunity. Hard to blame the coach or coaches that showed him the door.
