The Mighty Thor Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 As painful to watch as last night's match was, equally painful was watching Nevin and Dougie Donnelly gloating. The one thing that stuck out for me was watching former Hearts player, captain and manager Craig Levein trying to give a summary of what he was watching. He could barely find the words to string together an answer without embarrassing a fellow manager or slating our overpaid underperforming players. So what do you think he really wanted to say?

I didn't think they were gloating. Levein looked genuinely shocked and it made me think he does have some lingering affection for the club, if not for Mikey.

I have no doubt he has an affection for the club, he was a great servant here despite some of the revisionist BS that comes with his current role at Dundee Utd.

Victorian Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 he made fair comments about the game last night and seemed genuinely disappointed that the scottish side had received a beasting but... during the programme thre was a clip shown of the penalty they got at tannadice and he simpered on about how delighted he was with swanson's "imagination". sorry but that was quite hard to swallow seeing as the imaginative swanson completely conned the penalty. basically we had an ex hearts legend comng on to a TV programme showing a hearts game, being paid licence fee payers money (partly contributed to by us) to rejoice about a penalty given against us which was a complete dive. add in the tirade he had about hearts last season in his newspaper article regarding the honesty of our players and manager and you have one giant dollop of irony.

redm Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Why is it that I get the distinct impression that some on this board would have loved it had Levein been gloating at our misfortune? I was a bit busy trying to drag myself from the depths of depression at the time but I did note that Levein was surprisingly kind about us and looked genuinely quite miffed that we'd been so rubbish. Not a hint of schedenfreude about him, not one wee tiny little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think Levein was genuinely bothered that Hearts were getting pumped and he definately knows what he is talking about with regard his analysis.... he had to comment on the penalty incident because it involved Hearts last game - Levein is a Hearts legend and I think still cares about the club...

WagonWheel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I thought Levein was genuinely disspointed that a Scottish team had a doing in Europe. At least Levein has made the transition to manager and had to set out a team tactically and with the personnel as he felt appropriate. It really annoys me that guys like Nevin can never have their 'virtual' tactics tested for real. And Dougie Donnelly always seems to revel in Scottish defeats whether on a European or International basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Levein was embarassed to be a Hearts fan last night, as we all were. He was struggling to find words! Although, he must be thinking that he'll end up above us in the league....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I watched the game and listened to the comments, I thought they were not only fair, but our inadequacies were to some extent understated. I also thought they done us a big favour by showing almost relentlessly the total lack of effort by Nade seldom leaving the centre circle, and failing to break into even a slow jog at times. If Csaba uses that tape in post match review the wishes of many of us on JKB will be granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage1874 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Big Dougie seemed to be pushing Levein and Niven for more damming comments they refused the bait, thought they both looked gutted. I think deep down they knew it was unfair to rip into Hearts as the recent poor showings in europe illustrate the bad shape all of scottish football is in.

rudi must stay Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I agree with Levein and Nevin. But some of the stuff Robbo was saying showed why he doesn't have a managers job. you can't judge him as a manager because of that game IMO, he's a Jambo so he was watching the game from a fans point of view. FWIW I think he'd be a better manager now than he was before, he speaks very well in interviews and does a lot of work for the BBC so he'd be better tactically.

John Findlay Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The one thing Levein was thinking but didint say was. I would have booted that Pedro Morales up in the air the first time he got the ball. Just to let him know he was in a game. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It was clear that Levein took no pleasure in that game last night. The guy is still a Hearts man and was genuinely shocked at how "un-hearts like" that performance was. Remember this is a guy who has played for Hearts in Europe many times and put in some terrific performances. In terms of what he would have liked to say? Players like Nade and Stewart would never get near a starting place if he was the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.J Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think he wanted to say "How much am I getting paid to sit beside you pair of ramjets?

Spellczech Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I refuse to dislike him. Best manager in the SPL - he played players out of position because he had to. For three bloody years now I've watched successive managers of massive Hearts squads continue to play players in the wrong positions... Last night Obua, Goncalves and Jonsson were all in the wrong position and Nade wasn't fit enough to be on the pitch in any position!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
