Snake Plissken Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 By my reckoning only Zal (who'll be injured for the game), Bouzid, Jose and Nade could be said to fit the "big, physical" mould. So in likelyhood we'll start with two big centre backs - that's really rare isn't it? It's football logic, say something often enough and it becomes true.

Jack Ross 6' 1" Lee Mair 6' John Potter 6' Andy Dorman 6' Billy Mehmet 6'1" Michael Higdon 6'1" O'Donnell 6' Innes 6'1" Eight of their squad are 6 ft or over, I think we have 6 or 7 if you count Witteveen, enough said really.

Duno how to make it appear in my post, but i love this Haka, or moreso Wales' response. Rugby is pish but the haka is cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncu6SzmHe3E As for us, well the only problem with the big physical thing is when refs believe it. There were games last season where we were kicked off the park, but we were the ones penalised cos we're the big scary monsters. Anyway, we have to stand up to them and get the ball down more than they do, then we'll win, simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniwildcat38 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Actually for once there is actually some truth to these claims - compared to St Mirren we are actually a "big physical team". Here's a comparison of the line-ups from last week - I have had to swap a few players where their height or weight wasn't available on the club web-sites (apologies for the metric measurements but it makes it easier to calculate the averages): Balogh 192cm 83kg Jonsson 188cm 72kg Zaliukas 190cm 84kg Bouzid 190cm 85kg Goncalves 188cm 85kg Black 173cm 63kg Stewart 180cm 73kg Palazuelos 185cm 75kg Driver 175cm 69kg Glen 177cm 79kg Nade 186cm 80kg Gallacher 183cm 68kg Ross 185cm 72kg Potter 183cm 80kg Innes 185cm 77kg Barron 178cm 79kg Murray 178cm 67kg Brighton 180cm 74kg Brady 178cm 69kg Thomson 173cm 68kg Dargo 168cm 64kg Mehmet 185cm 82kg Hearts average: 184cm 77kg St Mirren average: 180cm 73kg I'm not sure how much we can trust these numbers though - surely Gary Glen is more than 1kg lighter than Nade!

Your line ups are wrong, certainly the Hearts one. Jonsson didn't play and was replaced by Thompson who is lucky if he is 170cm, also no Palazuelos or Nade.

I thought the Daily Ranger was bad but this takes the biscuit, and the wrapper, and the biscuit tin, and the kitchen. Craig Dargo says 'they're going to be a big physical blah blah blah'. Well Craig, firstly you watch too much garbage on the telly, Secondly, if the stats posted earlier are to be believed, everyone is big and physical to you, you are a midget that weighs sod all.

hearts_crazy Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Gus McPherson was on Real radio earlier trotting out the big physical side myth too. It's the same sort of thing as the Hibs are a flairsome team full of youngsters myth. Both may have been very very slightly relevant 3 years ago, both are just utter nonsense now.

Especially if you're a manager who employs the con trick of talking about entertaining, passing football - because that keeps the pressure off you win or lose, even if performances are actually total gash. Both Csaba and Levein are more pragmatic managers, far more likely to maximise their team's output over a whole season than Yogi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
