Commander Harris Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ****dee knocked out the "mighty" Motherwell in the Scottish Cup at FP. They managed to do with nine men what we failed to do with eleven. Pathetic that we were emptied out the SC by them. Still were heading in the right direction right enough. We played terrible at Motherwell and I agree that we should have done better and should still be in that competition. Having said that I do not think that that defeat, bad though it was, cancels out the progress that HAS been made. It is small steps but I believe it is undeniable. From 6 straight defeats in a row to 5 games unbeaten, including 3 wins and 3 clean sheets in a row, is progress. It doesn't mean all our problems are gone, it doesn't mean all is rosy - there is still a lot that needs to be put right - but it is an improvement. My hope is that we can continue to make these small steps forward, save face for this season and be in a steady position to build on for the next.

Old Hearts Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Please show me anybody who thinks all is well with the world at hearts at the moment ?err go on then not even Frail thinks that. that negates any point the lone ranger and silver makes. You have to beat the team thats put out in front of you we have done that in the last 3 league games ,not spectacularly but we have beat them with out loosing a goal,and that pub team Gretna have beaten Dundee united twice have we?. The cup games proved there are still many faults with the team and likely celtic will expose this too. but only someone or maybe some people on the wind up would post constant negativity and would choose to ignore the improvement that are there to be seen. Again show me who has there head in the sand ,that is the point you are trying to make is it not? We had hit rock bottom (well, 2nd bottom!!) .... After sinking so low, we could only improve surely!? Will be interesting to see how we fare in our next few matches. PS - Compare our current team & league position to where we were under Burley, BEFORE MadVlad's interventions into team affairs!?

magicTs Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Just a thought but how do you know a new manager has not been identified. How do you know he is not already working for us. Stevie Frail in charge till the end of the season new manager on spying missions identifying possible signings As i say just a thought. Well that would certainly be a first in the history of football. Not one leak to the media from any party involved (Hearts, manager, agent, players). There is as much chance of that scenario being true as there is of Gretna avoiding releagtion this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The 3 wins have put to bed any notion that we could be dragged into a relegation fight so I'm thankful for that. It was never likely given Gretna are the worst SPL side in history, still I'm pleased that this Hearts squad are not in a position of having to win crunch matches as it is very debatable whether they have the stomach on the park and the leadership of it. The worry for me is that Romanov will see a few wins on the board and think everything is rosy in the Tynecastle garden when of course this is a million miles from the truth. The lap dogs that feed him information could quite easily be covering their own backs and making things seem as if great progress is being made. If anyone honestly thinks that then they are deluding themselves. The gruesome twosome have widened the gap on us again and Dundee Utd and Motherwell have both had good league seasons (so far) but other than them there are a hell of a lot of bad sides in the SPL this year. Even if we do somehow scrape a top 6 (unlikely in my opinion given our fixtures) I personally hope it is not seen as an achievement. Even Robbie Neilson admits that anything but 3rd is "failure". We need massive surgery under a competent and experienced football manager and we need the process to start long before July (or possibly even June if the Intertoto scenario pans out). The new man needs to evaluate who is a lost cause, who he can improve and who a new team can be built around. This can't happen in June/July, it needs to be in the next 3 months or so. He also needs to plan realistic signings and a pre season campaign. I would be astounded if anyone could disagree or argue against this post? Well can they? Where are you Charlie Mann?

Horse Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 An appropriately negative measure for some of the posters on here. How are you going to measure improvement at a place we can always get pumped and regularly lose? No doubt if we win it will be a sign of how far Celtic have fallen...Why not measure results against teams we would expect to beat? By that measure there is definite improvement, Gretna and Hibs at home we beat but didn't previously. Too much bright side? At this moment in time, in fact always, the performance is secondary to the result. Burley's only game in charge there we played them off the park. Still, was not good enough for the mad one.

Jeremy Goss Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 stupid logic from OP but we haven't turned any corners yet. An improvement on results against sides we should beat.

Sharpie Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The main attraction of Cup games as I remember them was always the unpredictability of a result. Traditionally at least one team from the lower leagues has come up with an upset. I suppose Dundee beating Motherwell could be seen as such. However to use a result between two teams from different league divisions to compare with two teams who meet each other on a frequent basis is not the best mark of reliability. Hearts may not have improved to the satisfactiion of all, but they have provided better results in the last few league games. By results I don't mean by performing in a manner that makes football an art form, but by gaining three points which ultimately are the marks of progress. Although the extensive insults of sheep and hatkicker have subsided to some degree there are no doubt a number of diehard Romanov critics who are not prepared to allow themselves any pleasure about Hearts wins no matter how good or bad they may be. This has now descended into the feeble pleasure taken by losses by other teams who have earlier defeated our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody loves Baz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yes that's right, let's talk about the last three league games which we have won to steer us away from the relegation dog fight we were in ????? These game were won, not lost, won. You can only beat the teams that are put in front of you (of which i don't think we will do in our coming matches) But this harping on about 2 seasons ago just does my tits in and it's normally posted by the same tribe. And yes ,it could've got worse we could've ended up bottom of the league which i have no doubt would have pleased a lot of supporters (a term i'd use loosly) on this board.
