Beave1874 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 5 hours ago, Theme From Sparta F.C. said: At half time last night, a bloke in Section S upper came down the steps and started shouting Dogs abuse at Berra. Berra looked shocked by it. As did the Sky staff standing on the TV platform. It lasted a good couple of mins, then he went back to his seat. Then at the start of the 2nd half the said "Gentleman" was lead down from his seat an escorted out of the Stadium. If true then that's effin ridiculous, fan an absolute ahole. Berra a unit and would've been sweet if he fronted him up proper. Berra, despite what folk think, did his best for the club he supports. The injury he got then RUSHED back from finished his career with us. Boy deserves respect. Halliday's tackle was a booking and the offside goal I thought was on. Was watching on Hearts TV so only going on by whats been posted on here and Berra just called it as it was. Had Hearts to win and Halliday to be booked at 11/1... So ref is a dick also 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 8 hours ago, Byyy The Light said: Things were not great between him and Robbie with how he left. Robbie was pissed off that he announced he was off to Raith before the season had finished. Felt he should’ve waited. Berra had been told his contract was up so free to speak to other clubs. Felt Robbie completely disrespected him by basically telling him to do one after Raith move was announced. The info we have is that breakdown in relations happened in the dressing room after QoS it was nothing to do with anything public. Berra went on a rant against the manager in the dressing room after those 2 humiliating defeats, he played 90 minutes of both. He, Irving, and White were all promptly launched from the squad never to be seen again and Hearts were imperious afterwards. And folk are saying “oh what a bad way to treat a loyal servant” you cannot as a player ever go on a tirade against the manager in the dressing room. Unfortunately Berra had 2 fall outs in a row with 2 separate managers. And by some accounts is not on good terms with Levein either. It tells you a lot about his end to his career. I think he probably should have just retired after his injury. Don’t think he has to date accepted how badly it damaged him. Its not going to go well for him at Raith either I don’t expect.

So ref is a dick also 😂 Halliday tackle should have seen him get a yellow. As for the disallowed goal - it was a very marginal decision for the linesman to make. I’ve seen us on the wrong end of plenty of these decisions against the Old Firm that have gone against us, so I’ll take it. The guy that gave Berra the abuse deserved what he got. I would be surprised to see his season ticket rescinded. Really stupid and totally uncalled for behaviour towards a player who gave his all for us.

If he'd spent another 6 months rehabbing it might have made no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 15 hours ago, been here before said: Thought he acted a bit of a dick with the whole Stendal thing but doesnt seem an awful lot wrong with what he was saying last night. OP slavering shite, who'd have thunk that. Cue a rapier like reposte... Only thing he said wrong was saying it should have been a red for Halliday. It should have been a yellow - and probably would have been if it was any other player than McGregor. He just seems to get up instead of rolling about in agony.

If that 'bus tyre' has anything to do with a serious injury sustained whilst playing for Hearts, we of all people should show him more respect. He was a tower of strength at the beginning of his second spell with us, a never-ending range of clearing headers and last-gasp tackles / interceptions, and 100% effort. Doesn't seem to have ended well at Hearts, but it is sad to see Hearts fans having a go at him. I think he's got plenty to offer Raith and wish him well.

He just seems to get up instead of rolling about in agony. Yep, credit to McGregor - not only did he get straight up, he was laughing. The majority of players would have been flat out clutching some excruciating imaginary injury or squaring up angrily. That, plus the absence of 3,500 screaming away fans, probably saved Halliday from a card of some description. Berra's entitled to his opinion on that and the offside (personally don't think VAR could have overturned the onfield decision) - but the bit that jumped out at me was him saying Souttar could 'get away from Hearts'. So poorly worded. There were lots of ways to express JS's prospects more ambiguously - "he could go on to play at the top level for club and country", something like that. And who knows, he might feel he wants to show a greater degree of loyalty to the club that stood by him through all that rehab (similar to Levein's serious injury in his playing career). Assuming he stays fit, of course. 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 He was spot on when he said Halliday could and possibly should have been sent off...........100% I really don't care if some don't like that because he is being honest in his opinion and those who dispute it are viewing matters through maroon and white tinted glasses. He gave us his all in his spells at the club earning us a large fee when he left the first time and putting his body on the line in his second spell. Perhaps he never truly recovered from that but he can hardly be blamed for managers selecting him week after week. Until the injury he was playing well for us. He was there on Saturday to offer opinion and he did Of course we will have all the nonsense near the end of his spell when Stendel (the failure) took over...maybe he could see what others ignored and he wanted to keep playing hence going out on loan to try and avoid this bad egg nonsense if he had hung around I thank him for his service and wish him well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barcajambo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Berra is bitter as the club weren’t too happy with his “long time coming” comments after the Brora game and was also told to stay away from Tynecastle on trophy day. As poor as he has been the last couple of seasons, I think that was pretty poor from the club considering his service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I did see someone getting lauched out of that section. I thought it was an interloper as I'm sure he was wearing some kind of green.

The "responsibility" of showing impartiality is on the BBC not the pundits. Petrov is an interesting choice as although he is a Celtic legend he is actually pretty balanced, unlike the likes of Davie Provan or Andy Walker (who was on co-commentary duty indidentally). To me Berra certainly didn't have much postive to say about Hearts, but then I'd have struggled to defend that tackle on McGregor too... The comment about Gordon's second save maybe sounded a bit "meh" but I think that is perhaps just the way Berra speaks - it was a pretty simple save for Gordon, the block 30 seconds earlier was the 9m player save...
