Not out for an argument mate but to describe Robbo as merely a penalty box striker is an insult in my opinion. McCoist was. Robbo was a fantastic all round footballer. I’m not dissing Robbo in the slightest, I never would he was one of my heroes bud I love him. I’m not looking for an argument either😘 He could play alright but he was deadly in front of goal and lost some mobility as he got a bit older. Anywhere else would’ve been an utter waste.

A penalty save against Serbia won’t change my mind. Just can’t take to the guy. Fair play he’s a very good tactician but he’s got the best pool of players we’ve had in years to choose from. Full of Premier League talent, two Champs League winners and Man Utds player of the year. Just now, BarneyBattles said: I don’t think you are alone. Sounds daft but take that penalty save out and I don’t think Clarke has been that impressive. He’s too negative (not playing Armstrong for example). He has however done what no-one has done since 1998 so for that he deserves a knighthood 😄 Him not playing Armstrong is a real bugbear of mine. He’s no tactical genius and is a bit overly negative imo but he’s the one who’s finally got us there I guess. He can really cement his place if he gets us out a group too I suppose.

Jock Stein was right. Robbo was better than Nicholas, McCoist etc. They just got picked more because of who they played for. Jock Stein said that did he? Oh well that’s some praise right there. Personally I thought they were all good at the time. Johnston, McCoist etc I rated Robbo very highly and defo playing for Hearts didn’t help getting caps. I guess we all know that.

jamtartan74 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I’m as passionate about Scotland as I am for Hearts, I love the international breaks, followed Scotland abroad many a time and had fantastic trips away most of which I hardly remember mind you 😁. Absolutely buzzing for this tournament and think we have a very good team that is capable of a couple of shocks in this group, call me mad but I think we have a good chance of getting a result at Wembley, England don’t impress me all that much, some real quality in their squad but they don’t look a great team 🤷🏻♂️ C’MON SCOTLAAAAAAAND 🏴🏴🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Predator/striker wise I'd say: 1= McCoist = Robbo 3. Johnston Outwith that I'd say: 1. Johnston 2. Robbo 3. McCoist. Depending on the opposition, tactics, venue etc. all three could have played an equal part offering different things. If John had signed for Rangers, Souness did make Newcastle an offer, that would have happened, imo. Nevertheless, John Robertson is a Hearts legend and is loved by all. Even my nephew, born in 2003, adores the wee man. My old mum loves him to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the wee man to death but he wasn’t better than Mo Johnston imo and was a pure penalty box player at a time when that kind of player was dying out in the game. Especially at international level and even more especially for us as a nation. Hearts win plums generally and had won plums for donkeys years around that time. The strikers who went played at higher level is the cold hard facts tbh as good a season as he had that WC year. He should’ve got more caps but definitely in the years previous. As the 90’s wore on he was never good enough imo. I think he was a better all round player than McCoist but maybe didn’t quite have the same hunger to score as many goals as possible, if he had 4 he wanted 5. He was better than Mcinally for instance. If he had to went to the uglies he would’ve had 50 caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if they don't play well or lose games I won't get upset about it. Whereas with Hearts it can take the best part of a week to get over a bad result, and the highs are very special.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Both. Scotland has been a painful watch for many years though. More so than us the last couple of years. If I had to choose Hearts winning the league or Scotland winning a tournament ut would be tough but I'd probably go for the latter. Hearts have won the league before even though I never saw it and I've experienced the extreme highs of winning something in 98 and 2012. Plus we have a realistic chance of winning something every season. Scotland winning a tournament would be a genuine once in a hundred lifetimes thing. If Greece and Denmark can we can with a bit of luck. We'll probably never have a better chance than this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Vince Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Always Hearts first but I wouldn't mind getting more into Scotland. I attended a match recently and enjoyed it. Not really any hate figures in the squad now and the manager is likeable, for a dour sod. Plus, its hard supporting Hearts just now. The negativity and poison amongst the support is chronic, I could do with a wee flirt elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 There's literally no need to choose. Hearts mean the world to me, they affect my mood for days, sometimes weeks win or lose and I'm far more involved on a day to day basis. Scotland it feels more intense in terms of nothing happens for months then huge highs and lows, mainly lows. But it means, just like Hearts, that the highs feel even better. I follow both home and away, and am absolutely buzzing for Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
