The 5.1 De Vries debut was excruciating to watch! 🤣 Add to that cup semi finals, 3rd place finishes and Europe. Probably one of the finest defenders I've ever watched at Hearts. Yes his second tenure as manager soured his love in with the fans but he's still a Hearts legend. He will continue to do the business over Hibs, what's not to like.

He certainly got the team up for playing Celtic more, as RN did and SN does too. We press Celtic but sat off Rangers, seems to work better for both as even Stendel showed. Considering what happened in 1986 can anyone blame him for possibly hating Celtic slightly more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central defender anyway. Fyssas the best LB but that's a probably, because we've had a number of cracking left backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, search engines have gotten so much worse, I couldn't coax them into finding the interview. Absolutely horrific decisions of course. But he's absolutely scathing without ever getting truly nasty with McCurry. "If Mike McCurry had given a penalty he'd have been lambasted. . . it's human nature." Some Hearts fans like to call the refereeing "corrupt" as if it's brown envelopes of cash when more often than not I think the refs are often just cowed by the baying mobs.

Taffin Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Craig's had some blinders in terms of his lines. As a guy I really like him. He's a Craig Levein fan though, not a Hearts fan. Absolutely destroyed us whilst trying to save his own bacon. And as mentioned, the provincial comment (whilst moving to Leicester (🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️)) was unforgivable imo.

For me Jefferies is a Hearts legend, had to sit through some terrible matches under Levein too Fantastic player (and would have been Scotlands greatest ever defender bar injuries) but responsible for decisions that took us down.

I've got to say, the prospect of an OFless Scottish league would be very interesting and absolutely offer ourselves a big chance to grow. That said, I would rather see stronger leadership from the SFA/SPFL too much pandering to them. They don't need the extra help they get from the authorities.
