magicTs Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 He might have shafted the Bosnian's (or whoever it was) but at least he's been a whole lot kinder to one of our very own in making sure he's not left short : http://www.heartsfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HeartsNewsDetail/0,,10289~1270430,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think it is fair to assume that McCanns Hearts playing career is well and truely over. A fantastic player in his first stint but it just didn't work out for him 2nd time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fantastic player in his first stint but it just didn't work out for him 2nd time round. No it didn't but we were both at Killie when he was physically attacked by the Killie RB. No foul let alone the straight red it deserved. Why did he put that animalistic challenge in? McCann looked outstanding and like his old self prior to that. But hey ho he was only playing for Hearts. That incident added to the way Killie have kicked lumps out of us ever since JJ became their manager is just one reason I don't want JJ back at Tynecastle as manager.

I thought that was unfortunate for McCann but was a fair, strong tackle. McCann has been injury prone for years. Has only played about 50 games in the last 5-6 years.

magicTs Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 McCann has been injury prone for years. Has only played about 50 games in the last 5-6 years. Yep, yet we gave him a lucrative 2 1/2 year contract costing us around a million quid. Phenomonally bad business but I suppose unsurprising given our overall debt and the way the squad is managed.

Charlie-Brown Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think Neil McCann would make a great future coach and he's an articulate & intelligent guy (for a professional footballer) - he's also become Hearts-minded over the years and VR / Hearts could do a lot worse than sponsor his coaching career and try to get him onto the coaching ladder either in our youth set up or as an assistant coach or a job at an SFL club....

That incident added to the way Killie have kicked lumps out of us ever since JJ became their manager is just one reason I don't want JJ back at Tynecastle as manager. I take issue with the fact that McCann looked outstanding prior to the challenge by Lilley. That was his first game back for the club and it was only after about half an hour he went off....hardly enough time to come to that conclusion. From what I understand he has done some of his coaching badges and is working on more - so that is always going to benifit the club in the long term. As a player now - he looks done and really should be calling it a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandylejambo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 there's no way that tackle was fair and terry has said the same thing, the lad was always winning the ball terry was wondering were the lad would put it when he came right through him, a career shortning tackle and the guy should get the same,, flicking crettin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It put him out for months. In my view it was a fair and strong tackle. McCann has jumped out of most tackles since then. I think his various injuries in his injury prone last few years have seen his bottle crash. I have never seen anything in his play on the field to suggest that he would become a good coach. He was very fast in his first spell with us and that made up for his lack of awareness of the game. His lack of bottle in his second spell would also rule him out ofr me.

Must there be a strong correlation between how a player shows himself on the pitch and if this then determines his capability whether he be a good manager or coach or not?

Millars Bar Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Lilley knew exactly what he was doing with that tackle. It was sneaky as feck, McCann was turning into it and had no chance of protecting himself, he took part of the ball but totally emptied McCann.... Typically in Scotland it's described as 'hard but fair'....it was a cowards tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game and the previous poster was right. He was the best player on the park by a long way when he suffered the injury. It was an overly aggressive tackle aswell, studs were showing aswell if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
