Just watched that Naismith tackle on Broony again. Even the commentator said it was horrendous. There is no way it was anything other than deliberate and malicious with the intent of causing injury. It's one thing saying a player is physical but it's another thing altogether when a player is outright brutal with deliberate intent to damage another player. That Naismith will get his comeuppance. He's a 'has been' player anyway who is full of envy for the best player in Scotland and the best team in Scotland. The Sevvie blood is still clearly running through his veins. HH.

Agreed and the one on Forrest was even worse.

07 May 2018 23:57:36
Two terrible tackles and he also committed many fouls . The tackle on Brown was in my view the worse, to deliberately go in late and catch two balls with his boot and neither the match ball just showed the depths the Bastard was prepared to go .
The chances are he has won himself a transfer to Rangers 2012 . Don't be surprised to see him and Laverty both with the Govan club.

Especially bad from a player who has suffered a career threatening injury himself, the compliance officer must throw the book at him .

08 May 2018 07:07:08
As a jambo and on here now and again thought tackle was dreadful right in the haw maws no intent to get ball the Forrest one too but to see broonie get up laugh it off and a will get u back was awesome and as for that joke of a manager for us all players need protecting from broonie what a joke av been impressed with him all season wish we had someone who commanded midfield like him . your thoughts lads.

Well said kenny.

Pity your manager doesn’t agree Kenny! When asked if he thought the tackle on brown was a bad one he said no! The bitterness and jealousy rips out this clown every time he opens his mouth! Everything about his career from playing to managing screams mediocrity and he cannot stand the fact he’s a serial loser! Clown of a man!

I'm one of the first to have a go at Boyata on here when he makes mistakes so fair play to him with the goal yesterday. Unbelievable finish from the big man.

{Ed007's Note - I said on the live chat yesterday that Dedryck had been immense (I actually said imperious but I don't think anyone knew what that meant) yesterday and last week.}

07 May 2018 13:01:09
Unfortunately for me it’s too little too late and he’s probably playing for a move elsewhere. He had a good spell last season but apart from that he’s never shown any consistency, other than consistently being a bomb scare.

07 May 2018 13:35:17
I always felt he was trying too hard when he 1sr arrived, but I think his best position is where he played yesterday, a run of games, and a couple of goals gives strikers confidence, and I hope we can sign him up 👍.

07 May 2018 13:49:04
I think boyata's major flaw is his concentration. I think his mind wanders when we are on top of teams.

07 May 2018 13:49:43
When he is at it and not doing silly stuff he is a good defender, Europe might be a problem, but on the whole good. Partnerships in there take time, all the great pairs played together for years. Ajer, given time and experience, will be a top class centre back.

07 May 2018 15:38:56
Heh excuse me Ed, I complimented you on your big word even though it was a Sunday :-P.

{Ed007's Note - That doesn't mean you knew what it meant though.}

07 May 2018 16:45:41
It means he strolled about like a big chief boss way they big hard imperial mints in his pocket does it no Ed :-D.

Has the makings of a really good CB. Quick and powerful but just lacks a bit of concentration. Whether it be hough a sloppy pass or positioning but his recovery tackles are right up there too. But really needs to be able to paas the ball better than he has done.

07 May 2018 20:28:53
It's only a few weeks since he was 'public enemy number one' - making stupid mistakes, causing panic and gifting goals and although he has shown that he can be a decent player - when he wants to - he can be a serious liability against decent forwards.

07 May 2018 22:02:07
Sorry my post above was meant for a thread about Edouard, I thought I saw earlier, either that or I’m losing the plot 😁🍀🍀.

08 May 2018 00:06:54
Qui have backed and supported Boyata for ages . I see him as a good young Althetic type centre half and boy did he not score a wonderful header on Sunday .
Sheer brilliant.

08 May 2018 16:27:02
Boyata sells jerseys and cannot be trusted. When he’s on form he looks brilliant, but, he always makes a right roaring Gareth hunt of it in big games.

His concentration slips. His judgement at vital moments is awful. I see what everyone says about him when he’s on form, it’s the compulsion to sell jerseys that tells me, he isn’t the answer going forward. Neither is Hendry Comprare.

Critical position and big Deryk is too much of a risk.

Well done to the team yesterday in very'trying'circumstances. Sorry did i say trying, i meant cheating and violent. There is so much to dislike about hertz. They seem to see themselves as kind kind of Aldi orangemen. y'know kinda not quite top tier bigotry and hatred but trying hard. An honourable mention in the ludge type bigotry.

Also mentioned in dispatches would, i imagine, be brothers naybrain, laffatme and of course master madden. naybrain should have been off after the Broony dig, a sneaky dirty after the ball dig, and for sure could have walked for the lunge, another in the sneaky dirty envelope. Laffatme seems unable to jump without climbing all over his opponent, like some untalented praying mantis, but wins most fouls. Cannot work that out.

If i were a hertz fan, and thankfully i am not, i would be asking where is that attitude every other game? And levein? Really not much to say other than he seems to be going a bit mad. This team, his in the making, do not play football. They barge and stumble into tackles and engage quickly, a strong ref should see this game breaking tactic.

And using the grass to slow us down? Wow. What a modern thinking coach he is.

07 May 2018 12:04:10
Ha ha ha gj is this you paying your own tribute to the tribute act lol.

07 May 2018 18:19:58
Knew they would be out to injure players against us! My best friends a Herz fan and even he hates Levein, but reckons his position is unsackable atm. So got this to look forward to for some time.

06 May 2018 23:49:09
I wouldn't blame the Hearts Manager and players for being so damned dirty and tackling with absolute no regard for the Celtic player's safety .
Mr Madden and his Officals are completely to blame for the rough house tactics by the Hearts players today . They knew right from the start that Madden wanted to punish Celtic for demolishing Rangers 2012 last week .
In the early minutes Hearts fouled Celtic players and because the ball fell to a Hearts player who could attack our goal he didn't give a free .
Was Madden putting on a display for dopey Steve , to give him encouragement?

07 May 2018 10:42:11
Madden more or less permitted - and therefore encouraged - so many dirty challenges and dangerous 'tackles' with too many 'blind eyes' and honest mistakes and Naismith alone, should have been sent off TWICE (The smirking little rat, so admired by his mate The Slug) .
Lafferty was again allowed to commit constant infringements and niggles and once again we were very fortunate to avoid serious injuries - not for the first time against teams content on violence.
I am pretty certain Motherwell will also be given free license to carry on the same practices on May 19.

07 May 2018 11:36:42
I think Craig Levein has a lot to answer for. Ever since he made those outrageous comments about Scott Brown, players are lining up to have a kick at him. Unless something is done about this it's only a matter of time before Brown suffers a serious if not career ending injury.
I heard live-in moaning again yesterday about how the disallowed goal cost them a 2-0 lead.
Hearts scored very soon after the disallowed goal, so if the first goal had been allowed the game would have taken a different course and they may well have not scored the second. Surely they would only have been robbed if they had been 1-0 up when the goal had been disallowed.
Levein seems to be a character who always has to blame someone or something for his own teams failings. By saying how unlucky they were whilst ignoring the fact that his team should never have finished with 11 men on the field just sums up this idiot in my view.

07 May 2018 14:56:05
Madden chalked off perfectly good goal Chris. The tackle were shocking two of their players should have walked.
