TheDeeDon Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Well first things first. Hearts are a fucking horrible footballing team, also a horrible club with horrible supporters, but footballing wise they are a joke. I thought we did well today, stood up to the hammer throwers all over the park and that first goal from Cosgrove inside 2 minutes was excellent, but I do have to admit when he picked the ball up for the penalty I thought he was going to miss, but shows once again I know sweet FA, he put it away with aplomb. Cosgrove was really superb today, battled hard, won the ball more often than not and distributed it well also and was generally a menace to them all afternoon, took no shit from the scummy bastards either, but non of our players did. Although I wasn't jizzing myself at his introduction I thought Gleeson came on and saved the game for us, the reason for this was at that point we had replaced Lowe with Campbell and Hearts were really overpowering us in the middle of the park, but when Gleeson came on he offered the experienced head which was badly needed and took a load of pressure off the two young loons alongside him, he also produced a couple of really good passes, hopefully he may get some more game time and prove to be the player we thought we were going to get in the summer. I was only surprised Hearts had 10 players left on the pitch, they were very lucky not to have had a red card earlier, some of their tackling was terrible and only in Scotland would a ref give a performance that bad and not face some kind of punishment, but yet again Levein still thinks they were hard done by, fuck knows what game he was watching. Well done to the players today though, they stood up and took no shit from the dirty bastards and got the all important three points, I would like to know why Shinnies 'goal' was chalked off as their keeper certainly wasn't impeded and I had a good view of it sitting in the Merkland end. I hope we get to see Max Lowe back before he is offski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckinPowers Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I thought it was the penalty that changed the game, not Gleeson. In the second half we were clearly second best to that point. Penalty pumped us up and really deflated hearts. Had we not gotten it I felt the equalizer was coming. Good win though, no complaints from me. Curious about Lowe, was DM looking at a midfield and the options he has with Shinnie as left back? Not so sure LA, we were clearly being over run in the middle, he was introduced and immediately we started getting back up the pitch, dictating the midfield, then we win a penalty 10 minutes later. He definitely made a positive impact when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBiscuit Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Nice wee bit of bite in DM's postmatcher in response to leviwn think hertz shoulda had 2 pens. "hearts always think they should be getting pens" good stuff. He's absolutely right. Really wanted to go today but couldnt make it unfortunately, but that is a brilliant result today. We've come a cropper at this time of the season in these matches in recent years, especially in front of big home crowds which makes today even better. Any more views on how Campbell played?

Elgindon Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Campbell didnt get enough of the ball to judge.MacLennan was out of sorts,whether it was Hearts physicality or just not up enough for it generally.Need him in the mood on Boxing day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
February1971 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 credit to Cosgrove, been written off by many ( including me) but he is on fire at the moment. Nobody else was taking the penalty. MOTM : McKenna, fuckin immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrshire_don74 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 may is making cosgrove runs channels ball in box and guess what striker in box... cosgrove on own will never work, his header was imperious , glad proved half wrong.. now naismith cunt , hearts may have had 1-2 pens but were shite ... the selection and line up for celtic could be challenging if lowe out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Any more views on how Campbell played? Was a bit baffled when he was chosen to come on initially, and it was clear we were losing the battle quickly after his introduction - think that’s why we saw Gleeson brought on so soon afterwards. Wouldn’t want to judge Campbell when he’s being thrown into that environment, it was a pretty brutal encounter at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket_scientist Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Levein is correct. McGinn definitely conceded a stupid penalty through sheer clumsiness and McKenna's was soft as fuck. He made the most of a wee shove in the back. We got lucky with those two decisions. Hearts were hard done by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
February1971 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 They could have had 2 pens, but the better team on the day won. Naismith could have been sent off also, all ifs and buts. Beaton was shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they fuck rs, there was nothing wrong with our disallowed goal & Naismith should have been red carded all day long. They should probably have had one pen & McKennas was a pen.

They should probably have had one pen & McKennas was a pen. The disallowed goal was a disgrace but they all get disallowed these days. Agree Naismith should've seen red. Cunt that he is. But I swear McGinn definitely fouled inside the box and McKenna's was soft as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A llad insane Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Agreed, Mcginns stupid challenge was a pen. Appears to be a real war of words brewing between D.M & C.L Horrible team hearts as long as i can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
