redm Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Absofeckinlutely. Didn't see who the third was but Diamond and McNamara should be feeling thoroughly ashamed of themselves today. I'm sure it happens all the time and I don't notice it so much, but the way they gathered around to scream in his face was just despicable. I felt so proud of him as he just nodded and walked away. He's demonstrating far more grit than I thought he was capable of...I didn't think he had it in him. Well done Miko, don't let the baskets get you down.

He got booked for a clear penalty. And he took it on the chin. Total nonsense from the SFA. Just watched the highlights and it was a foul. The #14 who fouled him didn't even get upset until the two other brainless neds started jumping all over him. Miko took it like a man unlike the Aberdeen losers. Hope Hearts have a huge dossier on this crap for when the $#!t hits the fan. No way can this be allowed to continue. What other teams fans dont realise is that its an embarrasment to them too. Scottish football has always been a joke but due to video coverage over the last few years its become more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea...and I'm sure he probably wanted to...but fortunately he went for the more dignified approach of saying nothing and walking away. So yep, I was proud of him. He can't do right for doing wrong in the eyes of the referees so it was great to see that he didn't play right into their hands. He's made of tougher stuff than I thought and that's good news.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The guy clearly has ability, he just needs to show it a lot more. The immediate reaction on here seem to out of form players is that they're pish. Mikey Stewart made a very good start to the season, went off the biol recently and was pish all of a sudden, he isn't. Its the same story with Goncalves and Miko to an extent - we've seen what he can do, just not often enough. The fact that he was getting repeated chances when he wasn't playing well was more of a problem - didn't mean he was useless. If over that last year or so he had been dropped /started when deserved, he might not get the same level of flak he gets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilamas Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 When ,oh when will UEFA, FIFA, SFA etc just take the easy way to stopping all this cheating? If a player is found (via video footage) to have conned a ref into getting someone sent off, or booked, or to have dived, then that player should get a retrospective one match ban.

BervieJambo Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Miko both played well and handled himself well on Saturday. Maybe he hasn't done this enough in the last couple of years. However you could clearly see how his spirit was lifted when the shouts of "Miko, Miko" came from the away end. With a bit more encouragement from us lot, I think he may still fulfill his potential.

heartscat Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Exactly, that's why he came over after the game to applaud the support, and give his shirt away, as a thanks.

Clean slate for me since we got trid of the ridiculous "Management team". We have our troubles to seek but we should stick up for our own, especially the way our team is being treated by opposition players and officials. Now the media are taking cheap digs as well and they need to know that?s our job, not theirs!! Would they take cheap digs at the OF?????????

However you could clearly see how his spirit was lifted when the shouts of "Miko, Miko" came from the away end. With a bit more encouragement from us lot, I think he may still fulfill his potential. I was at Pittodrie on Saturday, and I think I must have been watching a different game, along with many, in fact most, around me. Mikoliunas did nothing, absolutely nothing first half, he was the constant break down point of moves going forward, and most of the Hearts support were on his back for one thing that he simply cannot do, track runs of opposition players. He made two or three runs in the second half, to me that is not playing well, that is what I expect from a wide player, not two or three times, but constantly. I think it is time for us to stop accepting mediocre players, and replace them with better, because by accepting mediocre players you end up in a mediocre league position, and those who are willing to accept the mediocre players have no grounds to complain about the league position. EDIT - Sorry, by the way I do not class Mikoliunas alone within the category of mediocre, but this thread is about him, hence his name has been used.

Guest Dipped Flake Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 A player who has been given many chances and has proven he isnt good enough. I think Mikos main problem with certain fans is that he was given a starting spot when he wasn't playing well and should have been dropped. That wasn't his fault, what was he meant to do, say 'sorry but I don't think I deserve to be in the team today'?? Now I think he does deserve his place as he is starting to contribute more and so deserves all fans support. I think he thrives on hearing his name being sung from the stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great to see better discipline. In the Motherwell game away Velicka half dived but then realised he would get booked so got up quick. There was virtually no dissent on unfair bookings. Same with Miko on Saturday. Pressley was expert at dealing with the referees. The likes of Hugh Dallas used to compliment Elvis on how he spoke to the referees - that gets you more decisions than blasting away at them.
