monkfish1979 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Csaba I dont think so Romanov yes more like it. Things havent changed a bit just a new approach. At long last our new # 1 will be LIthuanian quite a surprise. I thought Csaba was after a Hungarian I wonder just what happened. We have a Lithuanian goalkeeper? How did I misss that?

Alternately Kurkis isn't that good and they have a better keeper to step in and proves that Romanov cares more about Kaunas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 The reality is that whilst Romanov remains at the club we will all have to put up with and accept interference from him As I discussed in the thread last week debating whether or not Karipidis should play in midfield my main concern was that any dictated team choices should be made early in the week preceding a game so that the team that plays on a Saturday is set out on the Friday. This has practical and propoganda benefits 1. Its crucial IMO the team that plays is set out the day before the game and is not subject to last minute changes 2. Doing so makes it more difficult to prove interference 3. Doing so makes it less likely to affect players motivation and morale - sudden changes are no doubt unsettling and cause a lot of uncertainty as to what is going on and threaten to break the bond of trust between players and manager Whether people believe there is still dictation of team selection is one thing What is crucial that the players do not believe there is. If there is it is a hugely difficult trick for Csaba to pull off. And last minute changes make it virtually impossible for him IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilenin Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Right at the end of this interview Csaba confirms Banks will no longer play. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/7566463.stm How does he go from being Hearts number 1 goalkeeper all pre season to goalkeeper coach who won't play again in the space of a few days? Great decision I thought, and one which should have been taken pre-season. Banks is goalkeeping coach, let him concentrate on that. Jamie Mac is the best young keeper in Scotland and it's about time he got his chance. Which leaves Kello as back-up, which from the look of his career to date seems reasonable. Just so long as this isn't the start of the keeper position chopping and changing on a whim, this is a good move imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree entirely. My concern is not that Banks should be playing (or not), but more the manner in which the decision was reached. I hope it was Csabas choice, and Csabas choice alone. I'm not so sure it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Banks was the man in possession of the jersey and IMO rightly so His performance against m`well did nothing to change that and he actually had a good game. Macdonald has just returned from loan and has not been deemed the number one choice thus far therefore although the Goalkeeper position and Banks coaching role required clarified unless someone else that was signed as no 1 came in or Banks had a couple of nightmares then he should have retained this position. The fact that our first choice was omitted completely on the eve of a game gives the rumour mill regarding interference more ammo and its hard to argue with this. I would say that what Hearts fans want more than anything is for Csaba to have overall control and make his own decisons but although the official web site does mention the situation it falls short of sounding like a 100% Csaba decision. Was not at the game but from the highlights it looked like JM did ok but the decison to promote him so suddenly when SB held the jersey looks like another decison only Hearts would make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walton1983 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 If Banks is the Goalie Coach then he should have been at Ibrox helping MacDonald prepare for his debut. Someone saw fit to give that task to Kello. The whole thing is bizarre imo. FWIW I don't think Banks will be around much longer. I think you are right. I think maybe Banks had too much to say last season for Romanov's liking. Time will tell but it doesn't look good for him at Hearts. It's a pity because he did well considering he was trying to replace Hearts best ever goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hearts have been pretty quick to deny rumours about several subjects recently and I'm wondering if they'll do so when Barry Anderson reports on the Banks situation tomorrow ? Hmmmm....... Banks is probably hurting the club every day or something. Maybe he's a judas. Must be great when you're first team keeper one week, with the manager declaring you his number 1, then the owner decides you've retired the next week though eh........

Anyway, if Banks is being compared to Elvis and Hartley he should be proud Is this something to do with the fact that Rangers wanted to buy him?
