Who do you support was asked and those lads knew who Hearts were, where we came from...but had never heard of Hibs. My Hearts mate and I ripped the Hibby all week. We were utter shite at the time, too. 😄 Poor Hibby 😂 All my friends look out for Hearts results and some have been with me to games. I work with a lot of Germans and we're even known there. I refuse to believe we're not a worldwide brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts00 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, August Landmesser said: So, are they good signings or disappointing? Is it injuries or Robbie's fault? When we lost Simms, and replaced him with Shankland, and lost Souttar and replaced him with Rowles and/or Neilson, what's puzzling or surprising? If we bin 3 at the back (which we only play every now and then) what would you suggest instead? Eh how about 4 at the back. And if you were paying attention we have played 3 at the back at some point in 3/4s of our games this season. Every time it being ineffective.

Must be a few gems in there . hopefully a couple of agents on phone in morning I remember sitting up waiting for Andy Webster to be signed on loan from Rangers. Hearts announced no further business. So I went off to bed disappointed, only for us to sign him on a permanent deal next day as a free agent. Worked out pretty well, so I wouldn't be too despondent just yet.

You know we got guaranteed European football this season from finishing 3rd? And because Rangers won the cup. But it’s based on our coefficient - are we in the same boat for next season or does it depend on European points from our clubs this season (or is it already pre-determined from points up to end of last season?).

soonbe110 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 11 minutes ago, BackOfTheNet said: County have signed players like Dhanda and Edwards. Dundee Utd have signed Levitt, McGrath and Fletcher (and the LB they have had decent pedigree) Livingston have signed a decent keeper. Hibs have signed Marshall, Cabraja and Kenneh (say what you want about them, but they’re decent players) Motherwell have Aarons. Now, I’m not suggesting that those players (in addition to Miovski, Clarkson and maybe one or two others at Aberdeen) should replace players in our team. But maybe a few of them could’ve supplemented what we already have. That sums you up. Never heard of most of them. Uniteds signings have really improved them, I’ll give you that. 😂 Livi signing a keeper to replace a really good keeper doesnt Improve them. Sorry but maybe Levitt and McGrath would have been good for us but United paid way over the odds to bring them in and now both probably want out. The rest- No thanks.

You know we got guaranteed European football this season from finishing 3rd? No we didn't. We got it from finishing runners up in the Scottish Cup, hence why we are in the group stages. EDIT - Well the above is wrong, so I will triple down. We've never signed anyone decent after the window closed anyway and we'll probably get relegated now because if we lose our best players to injury we are going to be even shiter than we are now. Look around the other teams in the league and that is just simply not the case. There we go, 3 for the price of 1.
