Beattie Struggling To Make Final?

[Sergey]

Not sure of the exact extent of his injury, but seemingly Beattie hasn't trained this week and in undergoing extensive treatment in an attempt to make the cup final.

He is definitely out of the Yams match at Celtic at the weekend, if my (reliably informed) contact is correct.

[LamontHFC©]

I'm sure he will play.

[Hibrandenburg]

Don't they always have a sick, lame and lazy list as long as your arm prior to a derby but still manage to put out a full first team. Psycho war has begun.

[21.05.2016]

Wouldn't get too excited over this TBH, i'm sure he will be there for the final. Hearts have done this in the past before derbies, make out their best players will be out but they all seem to make a miraculous recovery and make the game.

A nice 50/50 with McPake in the first 5 minutes is all that is required.

[Hibrandenburg]

Scrap that. Just got a text from a Jam mate who has confirmed this.

[Sir David Gray]

I'd be stunned if he doesn't play.

[pentlando]

Him and Ian Black were the only two players from the last derby that I feel caused us problems in the game. With Black being told his contracts up and Beattie struggling with injury, these two guys definitely can't be 100% focused on the game.

[BoltonHibee]

Black will still give 100%, Beattie will just get bigger and bigger the more he is on the treatment table

Black will, if he's leaving he will want to leave on a high.

[Hibs7]

Want Blacks Hernia go POP in the warm up.
Now wouldn't that be good

[Ultrabee1-0]

who cares who is playing or not it all boils down to who turns up on the day and who walks onto that pitch! we can only play whats infront of us.And mcpake will destroy beattie am sure of it:greengrin

[At The Edge]

The Yams at my work have said that he (Beattie) will make the final but likely to be on the bench, will not last or be fit for 90 mins.

[Albion Hibs]

The hertz love this "he may not make it" lines. I am sure they probably flung the little grunt templeton onto the radio today to rattle on about how he may not play. Childrens mind games IMO.

[sleeping giant]

Anyone remember wee fat robbo getting off the team bus with a stookie on only to appear later ?

[whereswallace?]

My mate who is a Yam, messaged me this morning saying he was at Riccarton and Beattie was training. I thought moset teams got Wednesday off so dont know how accurate this is.


edit: Definately trained today

[greenlex]

Hes ***** anyway.

[Scouse Hibee]

It's a non story, Beattie will be fit for final.

[Hibercelona]

Don't be fooled.

A touch of the magic stick and all will be fine again. :rolleyes:

If he really is badly injured though, hopefully it impairs him for the final, or McPake gets a wee sneaky boot in there. :agree:

[hibs0666]

Let's not get ourselves in to a frenzy over this clown. He has managed to play in 12 games this season, four of which he played the full game, scoring four goals.
By the time he plays in the final he will have been out for a month and will be neither physically fit or match fit.

Respect him? For sure. Worry about him? You're having a laugh.

[soupy]

There is no danger hell miss the final, but anyway I'm glad cos when we pump them, they've nae excuses...

GGTTH

Heard it all before, its tedious these days! Still hope its true though!

[SlickShoes]

The usual, hearts key players are out, then 3pm on the 19th rolls around and they all stroll out and have the game of there life.

Not falling for it, expecting a full strength hearts team, they will be doing EVERYTHING they can to win this.

[essexhibee]

He will be there. :agree:

[Liam89]

Had 4 texts from yams i know saying they're 100% certain he wont make the final. It's different this time. They are ****ing themselves.

[Onceinawhile]

He'll play, bit the thing is, he isn't fit, they will get maybe 45 minutes out of him at top pelt and he will then fall away. The problem is that his size and threat aren't diminished too badly by a lack of fitness. I hope he is out, but mcpake should be able to handle him effectively.

[hibsitis]

It's simply amazing how many hearts fans have such detailed information.

[silverhibee]

Did he say Beattie was training at Riccarton.

We'll be winning the Cup whether Beattie plays or not.

[7 Hills]

I want to beat these f*****'s strongest team on the day! Let's be able to tell the Grandchildren: "These c***s had brought in a load ay players they couldnae afford tae pay on time - and we STILL beat the basturts!!!" :flag:

Who cares.

They'll come out with every possible excuse anyway.

If Beattie isn't out, it'll be because the ref was always a hibby die hard, or the game was a fix to even things up, or some pish to that degree.

As long as we beat them, that's all that matters to me.

[silverhibee]

Everyone that is saying he will play, ask yourself this, why has he not played in the last few games for the big team, they are still fighting for a place in Europe so surely they would want Beattie in the team with the form he has been in for them to get them in to Europe, i was at the St Johnstone at the PBS game and they brought Beattie out to do the half time draw, it was quite clear to see that he was in a little pain when he walked on to the pitch, heard that he took part in a training session today, but didn't last and is back on the treatment table again. A major doubt for the final now.

Not to bothered if he is fit or not, JAMES McPAKE will take care of him no doubts about that.


It would seem some of them can't get away from the PBS quick enough, heard a we story earlier on about one of there players being shown around training facilities at another club at the start of the week.

[Pretty Boy]

He's toiling big time.

One of my mates works in a gym, the name escapes.me right now, and Beatties been in every other day swimming but with a float type thing around his waist to avoid any leg work.

I'm usually sceptical about Hearts injury claims but this looks reasonably serious. If he plays against Celtic he risks aggravating it, if he doesn't play he won't be match fit come the final.

Beattie put in some extra training today ..looks at his peak fitness wise, much the same person who wobbled round the hampden track after scoring v celtic .. ...8215

[Hibernia Na Eir]

im sure "the babe" Caroline Henderson reported he should be ok for the final on tonights STV sports news.
no major surprise. He'll defo feature, but we shouldn't worry too much about a player who failed at Celtic!!

I really can't say as i may get someone in to bother, but as for Beattie, they aren't wrapping him up in cotton wool for nothing, the guy is struggling with injury and they gave him a training session after doing some work with the physio today but what i heard had to pull out as he was struggling to do much running, lets be fair here, the guy is injury prone and it looks like it has struck again for him, he has done his quota of games for this season. :agree:

[HibeeMG]

:no way: It's slugs, they work for nothing and will always be slugs.

That's the thing with rumours, there's always one small detail that's wrong. Your version sounds more likely so we'll go with that. :greengrin

Not sure of the exact extent of his injury, but seemingly Beattie hasn't trained this week and in undergoing extensive treatment in an attempt to make the cup final.

He is definitely out of the Yams match at Celtic at the weekend, if my (reliably informed) contact is correct.

Then its an absolute cert he will be fit for the final. This is classic Yamkidology from the Levein days.

He has had a good season, maybe not been seen as a first pick but may be as a squad player for them, and as far as i know celtc pay there wages on time every month, which Rudolph would be happy about.

A squad player at celtc will be on a good wage, probably more than what rudolph is on at the PBS. :aok:

And he has plenty of experience in the SPL. :agree:

[Dr Jimmy]

I am also led to believe (from a good yam source who has been correct in the past) that Beattie has a hamstring tear and will miss the final.

[happiehibbie]

I was at Tynie on Sunday and Beattie was speaking to my mate before the game asked why he was not playing today he said I could have played but I am not needed I am being kept for the final if I play we will win if I dont play then its a toss up he continued on there is no one in the Hibs team that would get a game for us we have nothing to worry about.

He does not know that am a Hibs supporter and i said nothing to him but thought you W r

I belive this is our time and i hope he is playing along with his other so called to good players

But remember this jambos

When the HIBS went up to lift the Scottish cup YOU where there !!

Don't care who plays we just need to go out from the off and be up for it straight away.

Most importantly. BELIEVE

[HibeeMG]

We'll be preparing to play against the strongest team they can put out. If they are weaker because of injury then... bonus! Any injury news from them won't make our lads train or plan any less so it'll make no difference to the Hibs team that turns up.

[hfc rd]

Typical yams. Next it will be something like black is out because he fell off the ladder when painting a room or something.

[Pete]

The way some people are talking it's like they have Alan Shearer waiting in the wings. This guy is a fat, unfit Celtic reject. I'd be more worried if he wasn't playing as McPake and Hanlon will either out muscle him or read him like a book. He's injured and capable of a half-hour burst of form at best.

It's the same with Black and Skacel. You'll get 60 minutes out each of them as they are both toiling. A fully fit and up for it Stevenson and Ozzy will take care of things. We'll also have an in-form Claros there who is head and shoulders above any hearts midfielder right now. Given the right back-up he can stop anything they do in it's tracks.

This mob are fifth/sixth for a reason and we have nothing to fear. We are the ones who are capable of performing to a higher standard than our league position suggests.

They would never admit it but they would have our big man up top over theirs any day.

Fact is Beattie has a bit of quality none of their other front men do...if he fails to make the final then that's a blow for them for sure therefore it's a positive for us.

I agree with you however at Southampton he was played at left back and in Germany too i think. Surely his best position is off the striker.

[allezsauzee]

I'm more concerned about Skacel than Beattie tbh. I think Jamesie will have Beattie in his back pocket. Despite the fact that I hate the cheatin yam bar steward, I have to admit that Skacel's movement off the ball and finishing are a real threat.

Everyone that is saying he will play, ask yourself this, why has he not played in the last few games for the big team, they are still fighting for a place in Europe so surely they would want Beattie in the team with the form he has been in for them to get them in to Europe, i was at the St Johnstone at the PBS game and they brought Beattie out to do the half time draw, it was quite clear to see that he was in a little pain when he walked on to the pitch, heard that he took part in a training session today, but didn't last and is back on the treatment table again. A major doubt for the final now.

Not to bothered if he is fit or not, JAMES McPAKE will take care of him no doubts about that.


It would seem some of them can't get away from the PBS quick enough, heard a we story earlier on about one of there players being shown around training facilities at another club at the start of the week.

Rudi Skacel tells media it looks like cup final will be his last game for #Hearts

Well he threw his shirt away to some muppet after the St Johnstone game.....so it must be true.........but then again I think half that stand has one based on the number of times he said he was leaving them only to still be there

I'm sure they will have a full strength team out.....Hopefully so will we and our players are up for it

Hearts are capable of soaking up pressure for long spells then having players who will run up and score from a nothing chance.

I think if we're going to beat them, we'll need to pummel them early.

No sitting back. Have the job done in the first half.

Skacel is a good player, but by far and away their most influential player, against us and all season, is Ian Black. Stick ultra tight to him and we win, it's that simple. Give him time on the ball, he sprays passes wide and through the middle, which brings in Skacel, Beattie and Templeton.

Limit Black, we win......we will win......it's Hibs year....fact !

Im led to believe Celtic have approached Skacel I.E signin a pre contract with them, Good timing if you ask me and lets hope the lad's head is turned. Great, Great timing. :aok:

I agree with you. I was deliberate in my use of the word "talisman" though. Although Black is more influential in a game, it is Skacel who, in a game which is a stalemate, is capable of winning a game in a moment of sudden.....erm, crap, I don't know what to call it (don't want to say "magic" or anything positive like that) but you get the point.

Believe me this man would never refuse to play

I don't think he will be with us next season as cost cutting continues but apart from Webster and ironically Black he is the one of he 3 players I would have tried hard to keep.

I have no insider information but I would be very very surprised if he ended up at Celtic

Why would you be surprised?!

Double his wages and this isn't a dig, he'll get paid when he is meant to.

He's had his big pay days

playing reguarly and feeling wanted and happy are far more important than doubling his money. If he doesn't get deal with Hearts chances are he will move home and that would be for far less than he can get at Celtic.


he was close to leaving in January as unbelievably he was not getting much game time

thankfully the manager realised it's not all about work rate tracking back and a touch of class and quality are often far more important

Skacel strikes me as the sort of person who can never have enough 'big pay days.'

Wouldn't surprise me if he went to Celtic and I think his playing style very much suits them.

What a loadie pish! There is not a footballer alive that considers being happy before money. And I'm not having a dig just cos he is a Jambo. They are all, bar none, in it for themselves and to make as much cash as they can. Stop being so soft about players "loving" the club, none of them really do, they will kiss the badge of whichever club they are playing for.

Spot on, u have to remember that to these guys this is a job. If someone was offering me more money to do the same job I'd take it. And so would anyone else. Rudi loves hearts as much as he will love his next employer... Just like his ex loved robbing him of 60k

I absolutely agree about the badge kissers. Fans are not kidded by them we had one this season in Stevenson who we all knew was at it to claim adoration.

I know from all the off the field work Rudi does in the community how much he enjoys his time at Hearts. Of course if someone offers him a decent contract he will have to consider. Bear in mind his only successful periods have been at Hearts sometimes a club and player are just suited.

He may move on but he will not go to Celtic.

Seriously ??, :ostrich: so any Employee of Hearts that is not paid on time for 2-3 months is castigated as ONLY being there to claim adoration from the fans ??? This is despite him carrying you'se as a striker rather than the midfielder he is while you were paying Crock Kyle mega money for months to keep Rima and her Golden Sticks occupied ?

Do you think Stevenson was the only one that was not happy about not getting paid on time ? OR are you using him as a scapegoat to vilify him becasue he actually had the BALLS to come out and say exactly what was going on ?

What about Ian Black ? Not paid so he had to go out moonlighting as a Painter's lackey....not for the adoration of the fans BUT to pay the bills Great Eh ?

Skacel has milked the Jambo's for as much as he could get.....not for the love of the club.....got offered more to go to Southampton so he was off...never had a contract so came back to get a last good pay day for a year or so before Agent Row-Man-Off decided he was too expensive for the new budget !!

Maybe not, But i guarantee you Celtc have been in touch with RS about a possible move West.

Superb, The more this lads head gets turned the better in the build up to the biggest Derby match ever, Keep on talking to him Celtc.

Beattie not even in squad today so must be struggling for the final I would have thought and even if they gamble on him he cant be anywhere near match sharp.

I say again, what a load of pish. Most players from most clubs do community work, doesn't mean they will hang about if they are offered more cash elsewhere. And it is unbelievable that you choose to pick on the one guy who had any balls and stood up against Romanov when he didn't get paid. Again and again, oh aye and again. Take your head out of the sand, Skatchel will be off as soon as a club comes in offering more than you can. And it won't matter if it was Celtic or even Hibs, he would go. It's all about the cash and maybe even getting paid on time.

Beattie has not played for weeks now. He might be on the park come the day but no danger will he be anything like 100% fit.

[hibsbollah]

That would be my take on it:agree: The inevitable move West. Hearts can dress it up anyway they like. Skacel is Celtc bound tho.

:agree: In a few weeks Skacel will be telling the glasgow press that he used to watch celtic as a boy in Trutnov, and cried with happiness as a 7year old as they thrillingly snatched the league title from another club in 1986.

[Hibees07]

Whilst it is well known that Hearts have a history of claiming players are injured when they are not, on this occasion I would be surprised if Beattie does play, or make the bench for that matter.

He has been out for several weeks now and was not even on the bench today, it would be a huge risk throwing him on without testing the injury out.

I also think the fact that Elliot was not playing today means that they could not take a chance on him getting injured leaving them without a striker.

[bingo70]

Beattie has not played for weeks now. He might be on the park come the day but no danger will he be anything like 100% fit.

Agreed, a yam mate told me the game he got injured in he was only playing as he was lacking match fitness so was going to get games until the end of the season and wouldn't be getting rested.

IMO he'll come off the bench in the second half and i'd be a lot happier if we were out of sight by then.

[nonshinyfinish]

When you have the full set of World War One Winners medals (pip squeak and winston, i believe was Mackays haul), a mere league winners medal is insignificant. That must be why he never has it on display, anyway.

Beattie is struggling to make the final due to injury.

I agree they would have been wanting to give him some game time yesterday. The fact he wasnt to be seen suggests to me he couldnt play yesterday and is a doubt for Saturday. It may be they keep him on the bench and throw him on in desperation or gamble from the start however he either doesnt play or plays when half fit so not bad for Hibs IMO.

[blackpoolhibs]

I expect him to play, if he's not fine.

[Rambo1875]

The ugly **** will be blowing oot his erse after 10 mins and will most likely pull up or toil that much he'll need hooked!

Who really gives a **** if Beattie plays or not?

I dont!

I'm pretty sure McPake and Hanlon dont either!

He's a fat, unfit, bearded, trampy looking hertz ****!

Was injured and unfit when he signed, played a handfull of games, got a bit fitness, git injured again and come Saturday won't have kicked a competetive baw in a month or so!!

The ugly **** will be blowing oot his erse after 10 mins and will most likely pull up or toil that much he'll need hooked!

In fact, I hope he does start and plays the full 90 so when we pump these ****ing morts they have no excuses!!

Bunch of ugly, inbred, pink phannies..

**** The Hearts

That's more like it!

Can't believe we have a 6-page thread on whether Craig Beattie will play or not. Craig Beattie???? He's PISH!!!!

[LeithBoozy]

Non Beattie point...

Does anyone know if Hearts are away for their final prep? Just curious to know if they are away, if so where?

Yep alfieboi75, The word on the street is. They have swapped Heriot Watt to Queen Margaret college for a change of scenery. :wink:

[M11BMO]

He's starting on the bench.
