OmiyaHearts Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 There is a meeting this morning at Hampden and Madden will be asked if he seen the Halliday tackle 'in its entirety'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnothejambo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Some planks on here cannot see past Halliday's Rangers link and his Podcasts. I prefer to judge him on what he does for us. On Saturday he never hid, got stuck in, worked well with Beni, gave 100%, and banjoed McGregor. He isn't the most technically gifted but he does a job and that's fine by me.

make a noise Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 You have to wonder why some folk actually pretend to support a club, a massively positive result and have to counter with a negative input, Halliday type player is needed in every team, Another notch on the Boo boys bedpost, my opinion of course.

Dazo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I guess I’m in the minority by thinking that that was never a red card ? Yellow all day long but I just don’t see it as a red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brighton Jambo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 On 01/08/2021 at 01:22, NB GIN said: Did you nor see the difference when haring appeared Your point would be a lot more valid if Haring replaced Halliday, he didn’t, he replaced GMS because we were being overrun having only two in midfield. So for 70 minutes Halliday alongside a new starter had played a huge part in keeping Celtic at bay despite being outnumbered for the whole game. He played well, he does the dirty, ugly stuff that every team needs, he runs his socks off and he provides the manager with tactical versatility. He’s a good player who we need.

Absolutely does the under appreciated dirty work that you need against Celtic and Rangers. If we are being honest those two have far better international players all over the park regardless of form. Players that can hurt you so initially imo you have to make it a scrap in midfield to stop them settling. I thought our midfield did that. Haring up till now has been a bit hot and cold so unless he is fully back to his best I can see why Robbie sticks Halliday in there. On that note with Beni coming in and haring playing well it looks like we have some good competition for that role and hopefully they will all raise there game.

jambopilms Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Beni and Haring both showed him what he was meant to be doing, breaking up play and passing it on. Did he even do it once ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May one-six Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 On 01/08/2021 at 10:40, Oxford City said: 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. I'm not Halliday's biggest fan, but this is ridiculous. By all means shout at him when he's on the pitch, but leave it there. Shouting at him when he's sitting in the sand is beyond the pale, especially if you're aged over 14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know if down ti the shite we've had, but he seems to get better. Another couple of seasons out of him as well. Brilliant. He's the reason we'll be alright this season.

In the sand with his pale. 😎 Wish Neilson would dig him out the starting eleven. Not good enough for the SPL, even struggled in the championship especially when played in the middle of the park.

andydog Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I thought Halliday did well. Not as well as Beni but then he was outstanding. It was 2 v 3 in the middle of the park for 70 minutes so the midfield was always going to be up against it. He also covered a ridiculous amount of ground and was a constant motivator. He was fortunate with the challenge on McGreggor, he also took a shocker form Sorrow. Hearts only conceded 4 fouls in the game which shows the overall discipline was exceptional. Hearts fans seem to need a hate figure, Halliday is the target just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wee Mikey Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It's very reassuring to learn that we managed to beat Celtic on their opening match (not happened since 1997) whilst playing with only 10 men. I failed to notice that at the game. Just imagine our stroll to win the SPL this season when we start fielding 11 men. Cannae wait. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was noticeable to me that the Hearts players weren't diving in to challenges to make it easy for Celtic to win free kicks into our box. I thought it showed great discipline and defensive skill to match any moves made by individual Celtic players, forcing them to play it backwards a lot of the time. The only real complaint from me would be the time and space Turnbull was given. He was the one causing us problems until, surprisingly, taken off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good call, Celtic went backwards more times than I can remember for a long time. They're no different than most teams when struggling to break down a opponent. Bain had more pass backs to him than Gordon did. Granted they had more ball possession than us but it still isn’t what we’re used to with them. Think the manager will struggle here. Doubt he’ll be given much time with the entitlement that fan base believe is due them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DS98 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 He’s not good. Nothing against him, he seems a decent guy but he just doesn’t bring enough to the table to be a starter for us. 100% keep him as a squad player.
