Am i right in thinking Jamies goal was quite a tight angle, dispatched it well imo.

Good on the lad.

Quite a tight angle but basically a tap in.  His wrongly disallowed goal was, however,  a very good finish.

Close in from tight angle and had the keeper diving back so lifted it high into net.  Finish you'd expect a forward to make, but very technically good nontheless.

 

The important bit and where he makes a difference is he was in the right place, first to react and get there and make the finish.  All of those aspects make the goal.  As you say, Foz, his skill and finish for the disallowed one was superb.  He's the best finisher at Hearts by some distance imo.

I just watched the replay, did anyone notice the role played by Barry McKay in the build up? The ball breaks to him in the box, he quickly kills it take a step to the side for space dinks the ball on to McEneffs foot past four Dundee defenders. The guy is class.  

He does loads of that stuff.  He breaks us out of defence very well also.  He's a top player imo.  Couple of goals in the next couple of games would round off a good first few months for him with Hearts.

The way he moved to the left of the goal to find space shows a great football brain

Robbie Neilson is the best Hearts manager in over a decade. Fact.

When Robbie Neilson left Hearts the first time round we became shite. Fact.

 

Robbie Neilson deserves huge credit for his record as Hearts manager and for vast improvement in our standing since taking over. Personal opinions on performances are irrelevant, results matter and Robbie gets us them.

He must have one of the best win %'s of any recent Hearts manager. I've not looked at it but surely someone else has. I think we are maybe 2 or 3 quality signings from going to another level.

Jamie could of should of might of scored a hat trick. He didn't he scored the winner, seemingly he gained us 2 points, unbelievable, clearly won the 3 points .

Match Fact

Jesus wept!  I’ll try to make it more simple this time.  Are you trying to change the rules now and suggesting you don’t get a point for a draw anymore?  Walker came on as a sub and scored the winner with 15 minutes to go.  If he hadn’t come on and scored the game would have finished 0-0 (neither team was looking like scoring and certainly not Dundee).

 

Because of Walker we got 2 extra points that we wouldn’t have got.  Comparing a game at 0 - 0 before it starts to one at 0 - 0 with 15 minutes to go is crazy even by JKB standards.  When I went to school 3 - 1 = 2.  
 

Why is this so hard to understand?  We’re taking about the difference one player made to our points total.

Dundee may of scored and won the game , gaining those two points that you are trying to push. No they would of won the three points . But we won the game 0-1

Is this a new thing in football?  A team can win a game without scoring a goal?

 

As for pushing something that never happened, you’re the one going on about Dundee winning a game they didn’t even draw never mind win!  They didn’t even score!

Are You sure your watching Hearts? 

 

Maybe you were watching Leeds the last few weeks and have gotten confused, or playing fifa and blanked out? 

 

No teamwork, tactics or formation?

 

Iirc I also think we are the second highest scorers from set pieces. Maybe 3rd. So that is also shite. 

 

 

All that and we are that thing that is pissing you off the most - we are 3rd in the league, under Bob. 

 

You are just gutted we are doing well under him. 

Imagine not being able to enjoy what is happening at our club just now because you want Bob to fail so you can point score. 

Tragic. 

And as well as yourself and others thinking Neilson is up to the job just remember it isn’t that long ago you were tipping us to split the Old Firm. Well I can see that happening now…….not. And other excuses are being banded about like new players being signed in the summer needing time to fit in with what Robbie wants, and yet this doesn’t seem to affect the Old Firm and they now have 2 new managers. All I get is we’re 3rd in a league that we are underperforming in against teams like Dundee, Motherwell, Ross County, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Livingston etc. In to many of these game we have been horrendous and let our support down badly. Yes some of you just like to blank out these games and come out with “We’re Third In The League” and I say “So What”.

No we won the game 0-1

 

Oh i see, i give you the same alternative to the one you said, 0-0 dropping two points. So the same scenario was on Dundee at the 0-0 stage that you seem to think is way more important than us winning the game 0-1. Twisting things to make others look daft, you clearly think you are wide.

Switch on your Pm's ,Take a step into the Pm box and allow me to dribble all over you there.

Was you who said , what if Jamie didn't come on and score. Your dropped two points patter goes both ways at 0-0.

It doesn't kick it when we won the game. 

So 0-1 Win for Us.

What is it that you don't get about supporting a club like Hearts?  Your self-entitlement complex is a wonder to behold.

 

Time to get yourself down to the Etihad, where just maybe you might find a team who lives up to your expectations?  Perhaps not though as they don't win all their games either.

People have paid a lot of money to get us into 3rd spot, some of us want to enjoy it. Stability is way more important than some over paid Super Star.

Robbie is gaining a lot of experience and has handled it with some panache. A lot of so called better Managers would of crumbled under the pressure to revive Us.

We all know some results have put Robbie on the **** off rail with many Hearts fans, the majority get what he is doing and what he has to do it with. We are on a far better footing because of Robbie, i see him as a young Walter Smith. He has got it in him to step up. We are watching our beloved Football team rise from the ashes, most successful teams take 3 seasons to build, we are into season Two of the turn around. In my own opinion we are thriving prospering and setting up the future as Maroon an White. 

I guess i am ina  small group who adore Robbie for his gameness to come back to us and win us The Championship and be in 3rd spot in the SPL half way ...

Tremendous achievement when you consider we are not the finished article, we also have players who are playing in their first season in a Top flight side.

Enjoy your day 

Something forgotten in the Robbie debate.

 

Dundee UTD were promoted, sure the Covid helped but they probably would of went up anyway.  Robbie ditched a return to the SPL to come back to Us and get us on the right track. He has done that yet he is spoken about like he has done wrong, his past results and etc used against him rather than the present right now being lorded as a Hero, Robbie is actually a Hearts Legend as well. It is people personal issues that are for all to see. Results win the attention of better players and managers, it also brings in a lot more money to spend on the side.

Na keeper was scrambling and the goal more or less open, but he did have to lift it.  Boycie's was a tough chance and no way past McGregor - actually though Boyce might have backheeled it as we had someone in better position, but no striker is doing that!

You are confusing me with someone else. Hearts have been my team since I was born. My expectations for Hearts are as high as any club including that wee club that plays at the Ethihad. I’ve lived through a time where Hearts have one 2 top league championships, 4 Scottish Cups & 4 League Cups. You haven’t the credentials to question my support for Hearts. Since my first game I was taken to see Hearts, a 5-1 win against Aberdeen in 1958 to my most recent at Tynie against Rangers just over a week ago. I have always just wanted the best for Hearts and if I think someone isn’t up to the job I will never stay silent because we deserve the best we can get.

No way past McGregor apart from lifting it as he was scrambling on the ground from a spilled shot, I don’t think his attempt was even on target.

We should be 2nd in the league. And would be if it wasn't for draws, due to Robbie's tactics. JKB FACT.

 

We should have a better Goal Difference. This is Liam Boyce's fault. JKB FACT.

 

We have the 3rd best goals scored. Still Liam Boyce's fault. JKB FACT.

 

We have the 3rd least goals against.

This is annoyingly due to Craig Gordon doing his job and saving things. JKB FACT.

 

We are the 3rd best team in Scotland. Aye, for now.

Robbie will **** it up somehow though.* (*Secretly hoping). JKB FACT.

 

Robbie Neilson is the best Hearts Manager in over a decade.

He's just Levein Mark II, & lucky so far. JKB FACT.

 

When Robbie Neilson left us the first time around we became shite.

"Phoodle" shat it and left us hanging. We were then left with Cathro & Levein and became shite. Phoodle's fault. JKB FACT.*

We also only won the championship as it was full of pub teams-ask Killie about that. 

 

A certain poster is also saying we are 3rd currently because all the teams are shite. 

 

 

We should also be 1st as we should expect to beat everyone home and away except the of, we should only beat them at home.

We are doing well.

You are overlooking some pretty major changes in those times, most notably the power of money in the game.  While you had teams like Hearts and Killie strong in the 50s and 60s the power of money and TV then took over, and after the success of Aberdeen and Dundee United in the early 80s, football became more about who has the most money (or pays the taxman less ).  From the 90s onwards nobody has had a sniff at the league in Scotland outside the uglies, with the one notable mention being our 2nd place when we had Romanov chucking money at us.

 

What you are looking for is never happening overnight - it will take years of stability and strengthening the squad so that there is strength and depth beyond the first XI.  I don't see anyone better to continue this journey right now.

I think this is the most competitive the league has been in years to be honest. The old firm can still be had if you get the tactics right, this has been proven with teams from the top to the bottom of the table taking points off them. Also, you look at the points and St Johnstone, who are bottom of the table, have taken points a point from us, 3 points from Aberdeen, 3 points from Dundee and 3 from untied and most defeats are only by 1 goal (even against OF). Even if the quality isn't what it was in the 2000's, there is no that this league isn't competitive! 

We are sitting third in a competitive league and at this point in the season. Outside of the OF and us, the other teams are all separated by 3 points or less.. in that respect, we're cruising!

Yeah, I think the quality has been decent. As well tbh

 

Been impressed with Motherwell and Aberdeen. 

St Mirren looked handy. 

Utd had their moments and Hibs were decent v us. 

 

It's just certain folk trying to justify their stance by saying we should be better as the league is shite. 

 

Same posters expected us to win every game last season as it was v pub teams, apparently. 

 

Absolute shite from the rabid crew to some how justify their anti Bob stance.

I’d disagree with that bit, we didn’t have a sniff of the league in 2005/06 as we were miles behind Celtic.  We did in 97/98, however, iirc only finishing 7 & 8 points behind Celtic & Rangers, despite only winning one of our last 8 games.  Huge chance missed in that season that often goes under the radar in comparison to 85/86 & 05/06.

 

Edit: I just looked up the 97/98 table.  We were only 5 points behind Rangers and 7 behind Celtic.  Amazingly Celtic won the league with only 74 points.  I don’t think a team will ever win the league again with such a low points total which also emphasises how much harder it is for a non OF team to win the league.  Sometimes the OF are getting close to 100 points.

Yes Yes Yes ok we’re 3rd miles behind the Old Firm in the league because we’ve dropped points against poor teams who have poor players. Why did we play crap against them ? Can you guess ?  Because the Hearts were not organised, coaching was non existent, team selection was poor and there was nobody able to make the right decisions in the dugout.

We all want to go and enjoy a game supporting Hearts but on too many occasions the only enjoyment some of us has had is a bevvy before and after the game with a couple of pies and a bovril at half time.

We all want to go and enjoy a game supporting Hearts but on too many occasions the only enjoyment some of us has had is a bevvy before and after the game with a couple of pies and a bovril at half time.

 

Have you applied to assist with your coaching qualifications and experience?  What could go wrong?

We're miles behind the of because they have better players and squads built over years. 

 

The last part is nonesense. 

We've played poor twice, Aberdeen are a match for us and really should be better than us at this point in time given the last few years, we've done well to over take them so early. 

 

Motherwell beat us well-boo hoo. 

It wil happen, other teams will beat us, we aren't good enough to win every game or go unbeaten for a season, never have been and Likley never will be. 

Any reasonable person would know this. 

 

You're like argueing with a 10 year old. 

 

Your dislike for Robbie  has turned you into a gibbering wreck, a shell of what might have been a proud Hearts supporter at one time. 

Shame.

Without getting dragged into another inane argument with you, it was a poor performance in my opinion. 

 

With the quality of player Robbie now has available to him, the level of football we're playing in away games in particular isn't good enough for me. I'm talking about tactics, formation, passing the ball with purpose, creating chances, scoring goals. 

 

Admittedly the conditions and opposition were equally poor. I don't expect you to agree.

Somebody should do a survey on 'match day threads' 

Which ones drag on longest , victories , defeats or draws ?

I won't agree as you are talking rubbish, we were the better team and won the game. 

 

We are 3rd in the league, 3rd top goal scorers, every fact and football statistic laughs in the face of -

 "I'm talking about tactics, formation, passing the ball with purpose, creating chances, scoring goals. "

 

The desperation and need for us to be what you want ( fail under Bob) is now that bad you and others are just spouting it even although it is not true.

You had a narrative at hand that you thought would play out and to your dismay we are doing better but you have decided to roll with it anyway.

 

I remember now why I had you on ignore, you make no sense and like the other rabids have lost all balance, sense and logic.

I fell a tad sorry for the folk that can't enjoy what is happening at the club just now because the hate Bob that much.

We were playing Dundee, of course we were the better side and yes we won the game. That doesn’t take away from the fact that the match as a spectacle was poor, eye bleedingly bad. Both teams contributed to that. 
 

We are admittedly doing better than I thought we would however I don’t think Robbie is getting the best out of a very good squad. I don’t think he ever will. 
 

You need to stop with the “hate Bob” bullshit. I for one certainly don’t. I would just prefer that he was the manager of another club and not ours. 
 

And finally, there is only one ‘rabid’ poster on the board and he is the one who is on here arguing with other Hearts supporters 24/7 with 50,000+ posts.

Good to see we eventually got a goal up there.  I must have missed that.

Was a shitshow that day. Funny thing is, if we hadn’t got that goal on half time I think he might have changed things for the second half.

You can’t handle the truth. Yes Jack Nicholson played a mad man but me saying it to you is very different because

You sometimes are OK Mitch but your current crusade is just daft.  Doesn't help that you polar guys just keep pushing yourself further apart and more ensconsed into your positions (looking at you SRB!!!)

 

But all those performance ratings are totally subjective and you're stating them as fact,

 

Just at random here, both Dundee games - not poor.  Last week, thick fog, trudge of an away match, we dug in and won.  Just what we've been missing and we'd have lost it at any point in the last 4 years.  Home match against them, we battered them and didn't score, gave away a shite goal.  Happens.  Not ideal, but were we poor really?  Similar to St J game really, where we battered them in reality.  Home game against Aberdeen, we clearly weren't in our stride yet but still were better team first half, we didn't match them second which was a shame, but they aren't a bad team really.

 

That last paragraph is - guess what!? - my opinion.  We've been poor twice - Aberdeen and Motherwell away.  Even the LC game, christ Celtic just steamrollered us, the boys were shellshocked and just didn't step up to plate - wasn't tactics, wasn't prep, it was rabbits in headlights.  But you know what, unlike years gone by, the hung in, fought, believed and gave Celtic a wee scare in the end.  This team has guts.  Again, when was the last time we had that???  And who gets the credit for it?

If Robbie shat in your cornflakes or has been eyeing up yer ma, just say so, we'll get it and support you through it.
