I don't see the need for the nastiness from one poster in particular. I don't suppose he feigned the injuries. But some folk are only happy when they're posting bile I am convinced some people think players want to be injured, when actually if you here players talk about long term injuries its a horrible thing to go through especially the mental side when it can feel lonely as you often separate from your team mates, you are not getting to do what you have built a career to do i.e. play, you miss out on a lot. Also dont buy the line he was only good for 18 months. He is a player that takes time to get up to speed after injuries (like a lot of players) but when he is up to speed he is really good. I think his body has slowed last season or two which has not helped him with the pace of Scottish football but he is intelligent and done a lot for us. I wish he had been relatively injury free last 6 years because he would have been massive and had he been fit in 2019/20 season I think we would not have been as poor as we were.

Lone Striker Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 2 hours ago, OTT said: Petes injuries all date back to playing through the pain barrier to make the Scottish Cup Final which he utterly dominated in despite his obvious discomfort and injury. When we did have to sub him, we pretty much immediately conceded. Very, very harsh post for a player that quite literally put his body on the line to try and drag us to silverware. Absolutely no ill will to Haring, and I hope whatevers wrong with him this time is mendable. Yes, wasn't it some Irish doctor guy who had read about Haring's problem (which none of the other surgeons seemed able to diagnose or sort) who got to the bottom of his problem and fixed it ? 2 hours ago, boag1874 said: Also played through a double hernia and groin injury at Easter Road prior to that in a huge well needed victory and was the best player on the park, he then had to get an operation after it.

Even in recent times he's had about 3 concussions. He was a great player initially, then injuries took their toll but he's still contributed when he's been relied upon. It's a shame if this is how his Hearts career ends but I wish him a speedy recovery and all the best if is. Anyone having a dig at him as his Hearts career comes to an end is frankly a prick.

Great player and servant to the club - and I really hope if he does leave in the near future, he leaves with a cup medal in his back pocket (even if it’s just as a squad member). I feel like he’s served his time to deserve being remembered as a key player over his time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 A very good player for Hearts across his time at the club. Incredibly unlucky with injuries.

gregzy2k7 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Really good servant to the club, Deserves nothing but our best wishes tbh, I think the decision of playing him in that cup final in 2019 almost ruined him, It's a shame as we almost won it because of him before he had to come off that day. Would think that would be him away now, so hopefully he can find a club, I'm sure he could still get a decent deal at a bottom six club in Scotland, if he wants to stay here that is.

LogicalEric Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Injuries have no doubt blighted what was a really promising start to his Hearts career.

Chimp Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Giving him an extra year on his deal was a terrible decision and I called it at the time. No idea why the club thought it would be a wise move. He's been finished for a long time and amazes me so many failed to see his obvious decline. Great player in his first season - was absolutely everywhere, breaking up play, bombing forward, scoring goals. His bad injury ruined him there's no doubt about it which is very unfortunate and sad to see. Think we all just hoped he'd be that same player again but turns out we just wasted a lot of wages on a player who spent most of his time here on the treatment table. Wish him all the best though seemed like a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can see him heading back to Austria now, or going to St Johnstone on a short term deal to reunite with Levein. Was going to say Robbie might take him over to Florida but Pete doesn't seem the type for that lifestyle. I wouldn't be surprised if these injuries force an early retirement though, yet another operation needed. All combined with his bad headknocks he's had too, it might be a wise decision.
