They used that as a sensational type headline though. Yep, Headline's a shocker considering he said... "I feel confident that I will be back playing and helping my team-mates again. I'm the worst spectator in the world. "I know I'll get back and hopefully it will be at the beginning of the season and, touch wood, it will be the end of the hip problems."

Debut 4 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The guy is simply a leader and we need as many as we can get. I love the way he has acknowledged the importance of playing for Hearts and he has shown that in his desire. And he`s got Hearts blood!

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 We must have the biggest injury list in the UK Hope the big man can come back stronger for next season and start where he left of in his last SPL game for us in scoring the winner against the vermin Our season ended when big Kylie got injured thats how much we have missed the lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Apparently he's nearly off his crutches and is hoping to get back into training again to be fit for the start of next season, so where would the BBC get such a sensationalist storyline about?

Heartbeat Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Anyone else get the Evening News text? Given that Hearts are supposed to currently not be talking to the EEN and in particular banderson and that KK spoke on stage last night at the POY doo outlining what he sees as a timetable for recovery I can only assume its sensationist Journalism and derived from social networking sites already mentioned on other threads.

Drylaw Hearts Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yup... Still cannot believe you never fancied him. Before JJ took him to Killie I wouldn't have touched him with a barge pole. I was all for signing him when we did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Did you read the BBC link? The line comes from KK himself: "Those thoughts [of having to retire] are still in my head just now. "With the experience of 2005 I tend to become paranoid when I get injured. "It was worrying. I was wondering if I would need to pack it in." Easier to scream "sensationalist journalism" though No but I heard him speak in person about 9 oclock last night and these thoughts never were mentioned. He expressed concerns it seems about old worries resurfacing. feelings he had in 2005. I would say given the circumstances understandable. "I was wondering" not "I am wondering" Still think it is sensationalist and comments taken out of context to what was being said Easier to be the patron saint of Journalists it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I based it on what he had written on Twitter to be honest, and he wasn't talking like a man who was worried about his career ending, he was talking like a man who wanted to run through brick walls to get back into the Hearts side again and start doing what he doles best. I only read the article after you picked me up on it, although I found it quite amusing that this story broke at the BBC ages ago, and the EEN just sent me a text telling me about it now like it was some sort of big exclusive for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 What a lot of shite, he also says that he is 'paranoid' about such things. FFS, the lad's had horrendous luck with injuries and he is preparing himself for the worst possible scenario while also saying he is working his knackers of and praying his latest op' will get him "back in maroon". C'mon Kevin, keep the faith and drag that intimidating big patched up carcass back on to the holy turf and get the gears whirring for Hearts and KK again!

Heartbeat Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 He was asked if he was worried about having to retire, his answer was 'yes' and you think that's been spun out of context. Amazing! I think it is a really good interview (KK always seems to be). He reveals some darker feelings but brings the narrative arc round to end with a bit of optimism and praise for the Hearts. Yet still there's knickers in a twist. OK you win, I am very sorry. Is that what you wanted to hear.? Knickers in a twist? I wonder whos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't know what the original headline was, but it probably was a bit sensationalist. Hence the BBC changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Kyle is a devastating weapon to have in the SPL, if we were able to ease his burden by adding Sutton, we would be terrifying all next season in an attacking perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 He is honest about his fears but I suspect KK is the type of guy who would play on if his leg was only still attached by a piece of skin. He'll make it back, that determination and tenacity he possesses will see him through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Anyone believe that he will play more than half the games next season???? Well... Dunno quite how to answer that really. * I hope he will play them all. * I know he will be a big difference in the games he does play. * I want him to score more than the ten he did this season. The only thing I actually believe, is that he will do everything he can to play all Hearts' games next season. Thankfully he is not promising anything that we are asked to believe...

dodemac Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Kevin Kyle will be a big player for us next season. Will be excellent for us to have experience back up to allow us to rest KK when required too.

jambonian Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yes, Kyle was an important signing this season, if we could get Sutton and Rooney down from Inverness, along with Steven Elliott, Robinson and Smith as back-up young players, i'd be happy with that! It would mean the end for Elliot, Glen, Mole and Witteveen (if he's actually still here!)A forward line picked from Kyle, Sutton, Elliott and Rooney would terrify the others!

Jamboelite Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Mark my words rooney is vastly over rated I have seen a fair amount of him this season in highlights and I dont think Rooney is over rated I think on a free he is a great shout and knows where the goals are but its all about opinions. As for KK the man is a superb addition to Hearts he loves it here and I love the fact he is so passionate in the maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Mark my words rooney is vastly over rated Don't know about that, 20-odd goals this season for a team in the bottom half of the League? Couldn't tell you the last time Hearts had a player that scored that many in one season, probably Robbo. Sometimes you need to take a chance on players, i for one don't think Rooney is any sort of risk and when you see some of the pish we've had like Elliot, Mole, Glen, Witteveen, Beniusis, Klimek, the guy whose name always escapes me.... possibly Danish and came over here for a season on loan from some Italian team(?) and was constantly injured, Perreira was another. Rooney would be a pretty decent signing and even more so if we got him for nowt in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
