Green tinted glasses off for a bit - really bad news for the Scotland team.

Hopefully a chance for Hanlon to step up

**Forza Fred** · 14-08-2018 10:53 AM

Perhaps career ending if it is that bad.....

Significantly weakens our rivals...wish the player no ill will though.

***JimBHibees*** · 14-08-2018 10:55 AM

It did look a really sore one which made no sense when he tried to sit at the side of the pitch. He is a key player for them and probably most influential.

**NAE NOOKIE** · 14-08-2018 11:01 AM

Don't want to see any player ( not even a Hertz one ) with such a bad injury and to be fair to Berra he never seems to be one of the maroon balloons who is always on social media or in the papers spouting pish about them or more pertinently us.

He is probably their best defender though so its an ill wind as they say …. I've no doubt there's somebody in their squad of hundreds or massive crop of wonderkids who will step up to fill the gap

***Diclonius*** · 14-08-2018 11:02 AM

Never want to see someone with that bad an injury even if it is the Hearts captain. That'll derail their season somewhat as he is arguably their best player after Lafferty leaves.

**WeeRussell** · 14-08-2018 11:03 AM

Feel for the lad. Good player and seemingly a decent guy dealt a tough blow.

Yeah personally no like for him or any Jambo but wouldn't wish such a severe injury on anyone...that said they look a bit foolish about their long grass tweet now as I think it was the long grass that caused this injury

MacLeish has already said that he would use Teirney as left sided central defender.

i didn't think McLeish had picked him yet so didnt fancy him. FWIW i would have him in the squad.

I must admit I used to think that he was hopeless, but when he got back into the Scotland team halfway through the last campaign we improved significantly.

It had been a wee while since Scotland didn't look really soft through the middle, and he struck up a decent understanding with Mulgrew.

His for form Hearts has been very good and it would be hard to begrudge him a place back in the Scotland team, and I think we'd have been stronger for it.

I can't pretend to be too upset about our rivals being weakened but I get no pleasure seeing anyone suffer a serious injury.

***Keith_M*** · 14-08-2018 12:17 PM

I wouldn't wish that kind of luck on anybody and I'm happy to say... get well soon.

New manager, fresh start, time for new blood.

Berra is a decent player but he’s not world class. He’s also 32 or so and I’m happy for someone else (eg Paul Hanlon) to get the opportunity.

33 now and will be 34 by the time he returns.

Mcleish has left him out every squad, his scotland days are long gone.

Not really. When was the last time he was in the squad? He'll be 35 by the time the next tournament comes around

He's going to be 34 next birthday so not really part of Scotland's hopes for the future plus he's been part of the worst era in Scottish international football history so not sure it's especially bad news for the national team. Hopefully Hanlon will get more of a look-in now.

**MWHIBBIES** · 14-08-2018 04:52 PM

Almost ****ed themselves into a coma when Griffiths went off in the Wotherspoon cup derby. **** him, smelly mutant like the rest of them.

You never know. Scotland's maybe going to give better prospects a chance and not place a premium on pulling jerseys, falling over and mouthing at referees.

****** defender who stands out in Scotland because of what we allow. As a hertz man if he'd left an opponent lying on the ground with the same injury there wouldn't have been a backwards glance. Doctor football wouldn't allow it.
