When did I pile onto the keeper?

 

I said he is being exposed as an ‘ok’ keeper…which is what he is in my opinion.

When did I say I was a super duper fan ? 
 

Fair enough about the pile in not you personally but have a read at the numerous comments.

No he’s not covered himself in glory 

but Stewart never ever would dream of handing out that type of abuse to an old firm player…. And that’s a fact

 

He'd struggle these days given so few Old Firm players feature.

As can be seen by lack of criticism over Taylor. He is utter pish, way out his depth and couldn't pass water but MS says nothing.

Your comment read like hearts fans should never criticise Hearts players…

[tiger Rudi]

Time for a change, Shanks being one of the subs surely. 

[Ricardo Quaresma]

Taylor honking

[johnking123]

Going forward . We are awful

Yep, Taylor is brutal at this level. 

[Deviskan]

Yeah Taylor is pish

[Deviskan]

We need to get another attacker on…Brown or Shankland.

[thehibsareintheirbeds]

Got to be time for shanks now. Need some composure in final third

[RENE]

Why on earth is Shankland not on.  We're struggling up front and need something different.  Carver going on about Shankland pushing to get picked for next year and Clarke doesn't play him.how ca  he prove himself on the bench.

Not at all but it’s a bit weird for a hearts fan to watch that goal and then instantly blame the keeper with no mention of the defending. Ffs it was a decent shot through several players, not unstoppable by any stretch but **** me the main and real blame is with the defending for me. 

[basscom]

Regarding both Georgia goals. 
 

Question:- would Craig Gordon have saved them?

 

Answer:- yes

Any Hearts fan would tell you Clark is an average keeper. Having said that blaming him for the 2nd goal is a nonsense. 

 

I don't think anyone is "blaming him", and saying that he was entirely at fault, but maybe that he could have done better? Yes - the defence was poor. But a better keeper, (eg. Craig Gordon) would maybe have saved that. And BTW, I thought Clark could also have done better at the first. As mentioned on commentary, his positioning was dodgy - which reminded me of the free kick HIbs scored at the end of last season. His postioning was rank there as well.

Sorry - but he's just not good enough for Hearts, which means he should be nowhere near the national team

Agreed. I don’t really rate Clark but he wasn’t at fault there. Stewart’s a ****ing slaver.

Not the first, maybe the second.

[Deviskan]

Ffs why Armstrong?!

[neilnunb]

What's the point in taking strikers over when you have no intention of putting them on?

This. He hasnt picked himself for a cap but no,he's nowhere near good enough.

[johnking123]

Shankland would score against this team.

[Ricardo Quaresma]

We'll get 8

 

Is that........ ralston?

 

We're done

[Dazo]

Shanks not getting on is he. 🙄

[PaddysBar]

Agree. The first you could see him trying to make himself big. about all he could do. 

[Tommy Brown]

Terrible free kick

About 7 players in or near the wall.

Flick a cross to left side and flood players over there.

[basscom]

Gordon saves both nine times out of ten. Admittedly he is world class. 

 

Clark just not up to this level unfortunately. 
 

Not a pop just an honest observation.

[Malinga the Swinga]

Because Armstrong is a favourite of the manager and he, for all he has got us qualified, is a stubborn man who hates to acknowledge his failings.

[Sigma One]

Shanks warming up there, still time. 😃

[Cruickie's Moustache]

Yup why Armstrong again.

Does very little these days.

Too safe.

Need a change up top.

 

[neilnunb]

That's a shocking tackle

[Gorgi1874]

Shanks needs on! 

[Sooperstar]

What an embarrassment this lot are. 

[neilnunb]

Horrible man bunned prick.

[scottishguy]

Scotland just start a mass brawl, they f@ckers are getting away with murder.

[jbee647]

As an aside, Clarke is a decent keeper at our level, but Gordon is an outstanding keeper at our level, the best in our history in fact and will be impossible to replace 

it’s not Clark’s fault he’s not as good as Craig Gordon, when Gordon retires we better be prepared for a significant drop off in quality In goalkeepers in the future 

[Gundermann]

Book these cheating barstewards.

Mhmm, just too much space to cover, and the boy actually skims the ball over the tops o the grass, when you'd expect it to go up slightly, while sliding in.

[JJ93]

If they want to score, bring Shankland on and give him the ball.

Ohh I agree about Zander Clark, he had a good spell with uswhen he was originally called up, otherwise, and unfortunately it's been a slow slide towards bang average.

[Sigma One]

And he's on

Still sitting on the bench - he must be saying to himself what’s the feckin point! 🤷‍♂️

[Deviskan]

Charlie Mulgrew also having a bit of a go at Steve Clarke there on Sky saying it’s square pegs in round holes and pointing out that the 4-3-3 needs wingers but we don’t have a single winger in the squad so why play that formation?! 

[AlphonseCapone]

Shanks on!

 

Their number 6 is an embarrassing wank.

[Ricardo Quaresma]

5 Minutes Shankland, **** you Clarke
