TheBigO Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 20 minutes ago, Nookie Bear said: Cheers. I have no major issue with Halliday as a player but i would genuinely fine him for this. Speaking on behalf of a rival club in the national media is a disgrace and completely disrespectful imo 100milliontrillion percent. This is an absolute joke. Hate it. Always said when Boyd was at Killie and had a column in some rag or other which he used to bang on about and defend Rangers every week that I'd be livid if I was one of the 12 Killie fans. I know Halliday isn't at that level (as much as you'd think he'd love to be) but I'd be sending him to train with the kids for this shit. It needs to made clear to every sing;le person involved at Hearts that we're not "one of the rest", here to make up the numbers in Scottish football. Celtic and Rangers are our rivals is how we need to view ourselves or that will never be true on or off the park. Honestly boils my piss, this. And he's shite. Can we put a bit of rouge on his cheeks and send him along the M8 disguised as Soapy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frasermck11 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If he was touting our players for a move to Ibrox then I’d understand the outrage. However, Ramsey plays for arguably our main rivals for 3rd place so anything that unsettles them is good isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinRummy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The thing that irks me about it is if he was playing for Rangers and a Hearts fan, I seriously doubt sevco would put up with it. It gives off the impression they’re a big club and we are not imo. I know he talks about football other than Rangers but it’s the Hun chat that makes the papers. He’s pish anyway. Handy just now because he can fill in a couple of spots if/when injuries suspensions kick in but I hope he gets binned in the summer.

boag1874 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 He'll be away in the summer imo, useful as a utility man here & there to cover & chips in with the odd Goal/Assist but we can upgrade on him. As for his media pish I tend to just ignore it, as long as he turns up & trains properly, keeps fit, does what he's asked on the pitch & doesn't embarrass the club I couldn't really care, we knew what he was when we signed him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo92 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We signed him knowing his allegiances, so we can't get our knickers in a twist about it. He may be limited in ability but he gives 100 percent for the shirt every game. Both parties have been served each other well from the deal, but we've outgrown him and assume he will be moved on in the summer. My biggest concern with all his media work is the chance of a covid outbreak that he could bring into the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Prentice Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Could be a sweetener in any Souttar deal.

Nah, fans under value the mentality side of the game and guys like Halliday are valued within the club. Most fans won't recognise this side as it's not a tangible quality. Most fans are a bit simple in their approach and discount the mentality, influence and competitiveness of the game as you can't really measure it or see it. Your Berra example is also one side of him, as although what you said was true- teams also knew that a ball in the box had to be accurate as Berra would header through a wall. Players have different qualities and a team needs a balance of them. Berra was shite in terms of playing from the back but immense in the air. It's more important when you have a lot of younger lads in the team and playing against more experienced sides. No point in having the better players when sides just bully you. Every team needs a ******* or a character type player, even if hey aren't best. He's ours at the moment but I do think he will be moved on once Bob feels the team and other players are matured and have enough character/ influence to replace him. Halket , Boyce and Kinglsey types can step up into that role and are likely doing it now. He, iirc also had a big hand in helping us land McKay. He's done a good job for us and even this season has filled in when required. Someone mentioned his win ratio with us- it's very high. He will be moved on but I won't get myself in a froth over him if he stays or leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he plays in midfield, you never hear his name, totally anonymous on and off the ball. He probably mouths off a lot on the pitch, but actually getting in people's faces, winning us the ball, winding them up, making sure we're not soft touches... see Cam Devlin. I know we brought Halliday in last season and I've no doubt you're right this is why - and great we've upgraded. But when people say he adds dig and bite, well I just don't see it.
