maroonlegions Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Neilson ankle operation a success Robbie Neilson Neilson had his testimonial match with Hearts in May Hearts full-back Robbie Neilson has undergone a successful operation on his troublesome Achilles tendon.(feck) The 28-year-old, who has missed Hearts' opening SPL games, could be set to return to action in six to eight weeks. He missed the end of last season with a stomach complaint and has not played this term due to his ankle problem. Neilson has been a fixture in the Hearts side over the past five seasons and won a full Scotland cap in 2006 against Ukraine. so 6 -8 weeks then, hope whoever is covering for him plays a blinder and keeps him out we want to go forward not BACK.

Bunny Munro Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 FFS. If he plays better than his compititon then why shouldn't he play. Its a real shame when football fans want their clubs players to play well to keep a certain player out of the team. I hope all 11 men play blinders, purely for fact that it will help us win.

If you were manager, and Robbie was playing consistantly better at training than anyone else would you pick him for your starting 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 If you were manager, and Robbie was playing consistantly better at training than anyone else would you pick him for your starting 11? I've highlighted the difficult concept - it's still something we're getting used to. As for Robbie, I think he has been used as a pawn in a little Kickback game over the last couple of seasons. I don't think he's nearly as bad a player as some of the hysteria on here has made him out to be. Put it this way: I've seen far worse in a Hearts top recently.

H J Simpson Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 as he's not kicked a ball.how do they know his operation was a success. I can see the conversation now. Robbie - How was the operation? Doc - A complete success. Robbie - So no problems? Doc - None at all. Robbie - Will I be able to pass the ball? Doc - Of course. Robbie - Your a miracle worker doc, I couldn't before the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie isn't the best player ever in a Hearts top, but he's a long way off being the worst. I doubt very much we would have celebrated a 2006 Scottish Cup win if it wasn't for "The Tackle" giving his all for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Good news that his operation was a success. Hopefully he'll be back challenging for a place in the side by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I also hope whoever is playing, plays out of their skin and is good enough to keep Robbie out of the team. Not because of any prejudice against Robbie but if someone is playing well enough to keep him out that represents an improvement. Or am I just naive?
