Rudolph Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Gave it his all, which because he plays for Hearts might occasionally not be good enough, but he was celebrating with big Craigy following his saves like he’d personally won the euromillions - so what more could you want!

5jambo1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Going to get a hard time from the boo boys this season which is unfair. He’s not messi on the ball but he will give 110%, do all the donkey work and will never hide. Not saying he was amazing tonight but he more than played his part. Had a few sloppy passes but the amount of ground he covered when we were outnumbered in the middle of the park goes unnoticed to people who don’t understand the game. Playing all the ‘bigger’ teams he is ideal to have in the centre of the park and I hope he proves his doubters wrong i don’t understand how any of the hearts players can get a hard time tonight.

Took a number of hits tonight but you just knew he would be there till the end. We have had some soft arseholes in centre mid recently so I enjoy him in there. Good to have options now. Looked through this thread for what I consider the most accurate. There isn't another player in the whole spl who would have made that challenge on McGregor tonight. Reckon he's the sort of player every manager loves having in the squad. I'm definitely no expert but every army needs a bampot. Andy is ours.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 This thread stinks to high heaven. WTF do some people on here actually want? He cares, gets stuck right in. That's good enough for me especially so when you consider the complete apathetic shite we've had to put up with for years now.

BackOfTheNet Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Listen, I am by no means his biggest fan but some of the comments on here are over the top. That being said we couldn’t complain if he was given a red as his challenge was reckless and quite frankly I think McGregor not acting like it was more than it was has saved him. Studs up and raking the ankle when nowhere near the ball. Nasty. He played decently, not badly. But going forward I think Haring showed why if we’re going with that formation he should be ahead of Halliday. (I’d also like to see McEneff in next to Baningime for that matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixHearts Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 3 hours ago, rudiatemyhamster said: We won tonight and Halliday was a key part of the team. He was a key part of Celtics goal too. He had a reckless challenge in a vital part of the game too. He was very lucky to get away with it. Reckless in possession. Seemed to give the ball away more than any other player. Game got much better when he was moved out of the middle in place if Haring, a superior player in every single way imaginable. Haring and Baningime are the pairing we need. I'll give Halliday his due, he runs about a lot and tries to put the pressure on by harassing the opposition. He definitely has a role to play here but people saying he deserves to be in the starting 11 ahead of Haring is like saying Don Cowie should have been picked ahead of Arnaud Djoum. Not just based on tonight but based on his Hearts career to date, Andy Halliday should not be starting. He has to be our utility man off the bench. Backup LB. Backup CM. We have better players.

hisnameis Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 thought he struggled to close them down and gave the ball away.needlessly at times. perhaps the formation left to much ground to cover. clearly up for it against them. watch them kick off at the start, he sprints from the off to get the ball when he had no chance. prefer him at full back tbh. i did not enjoy the way we sat off. A competent Celtic team would have.slaughtered us if we played like that. Think we do better pressing them at Tynie. He.does.not lack effort but I think he is quite limited.

GinRummy Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some of the anger directed at Halliday is his own fault. His media role as a Rangers uber fan makes fans dislike him before he’s kicked a ball. That’s entirely understandable. Can you imagine how other fans would react if there was a Rangers or Celtic player who’s main media role was to bang on and on about his love for Hearts.

No Idle Talk Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 He's just not a good central midfielder. We need to stop playing him there, unless it's an emergency. If Beni turns out to be the player he looked like he could be last night, then Haring and Beni is our central midfield for most games going forward. Halliday can compete with Cochrane for the left wing back spot. That is the position where Halliday looks decent. Wing back - yes. Midfielder - No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. in the second half some people moved down to Section S lower (where we were) in order, it appears, to be near the Celtic subs who they proceeded to 'treat' to a load of irrelevant nonsense. A couple of them were removed by the stewards. A couple more who remained were yelling at Halliday near the end to move about more. He had a go back. Nothing serious but it was all a bit Michael Stewart-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmiyaHearts Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Lets be honest, if the ref done his job, Halliday was getting red carded and would have cost us the game.
