A most enjoyable listen to the post match broadcast on BBC Sportsound. Alan Preston is a bit of a pantomime villain on here, but I thought he was pretty pragmatic amid his obvious hurt. Good interviews from Holt and Lennon too. Good times.

Much laughter when Preston said "we can't beat them" meaning derby matches for drama and excitement -then realised what he'd said!

Cathro's interview is bizarre. His continual use of the word 'we' to deflect the responsibility from himself is amusing. His point blank refusal to accept that he got it wrong tactically was also telling. It will be interesting to see how the Cathro experiment goes for Hearts but the early signs are that it will be a disaster. Pleasing.

He's so stubborn that he will only be a failure. He thinks he has it all worked out and is sticking to his ideology through thick and thin. They'll get worked out and any half decent side will beat them at a canter. A bit like what happens with Arsenal when they come up against decent sides.

On 5 live last night they were discussing Cathro & Phil Neville was strongly defending him. He was actually getting quite animated pointing out his coaching experience etc & TBF I mostly agreed with him. However he then ruined it by saying, so, I don't see why Ian Cathro shouldn't get the chance to manage a Scottish Premiership club like Hearts of em em MidAlbion!! Classic! That's how f****** famous they are!!

That's an excellent listen. Great interviews by Lennon and Holt, and some very good positive comments from the panel about us which is unusual. Even Laptop boys interview made sense for once.

The small part I've listened to so far, Gordon seemed to be praising us through clenched teeth and everything he said seemed to have an underlying tone of negativity to it.
Maybe it's just me but, for some unknown reason, I always get a sense that he loathes the Hibs.

Cathro was dreadfully dull, so dull you can't even really dislike him. And what is it with Preston and the 3 1/2 year contract to to Martin.I hope he is as bad as Preston thinks 🙂

It was just you - Richard Gordon is a quality presenter and is paid to try and see both sides. Last night he was very positive towards Hibs and I certainly got the impression that it was genuine.

I like RG most of the time. Sometimes his voice is dripping with sarcasm towards Yam Preston and their 'big club' mentality.

He used 'we' because Harry Potter is taking the real decisions and Cathro is there to take the blame.

Great interviews from Lennon and Holt. Hope both stay.

Listening live, Hob nob Biscuit heid was screaming "it's a red card, it's a red card" after the 'foul' by McGregor for their penalty. It was out of desperate hope but I thought someone had been sent off. You could hear the dejection in his voice after the commentator intervened reporting the ref had actually shown a yellow. The man is a clown and should be nowhere near a commentary box.

No, he was saying they seemed to be very early because "the other guys" were so late coming out. Couldn't bring himself to mention Hibs. Stopped short of calling us Lochenders though.

It's perfectly possible that he doesn't actually know our name.

His boss Levein probably refers to Hibs as "that load of crap from Leith" ...

And even Catheter knows he can't call us that after a dismantling job like last night's.

Can you give a list of all the managers who blame themselves when their team loses?

23-02-2017, 10:34 PM
I said it on another thread but it's an absolute NAP that Cathro will be punted/mutually consented by Christmas. He'll then appear in a Sunday paper giving an interview where he will accuse a 'heirarchy' of 'fearing his methods' and talk of Scottish football 'being scared of him'. He'll finish by saying he'll be 'proven right in the long term' and tell how he was 'misunderstood by those who don't accept change'.

He's that type, you can see it already. No personal responsibility taken, no acknowledgememt he got it wrong twice and no hint he is aware his tenure has been a disaster (from a Hearts point of view) so far.

While it's relatively unusual, you do sometimes hear a manager saying he got it wrong. I'm not suggesting for a second that young Cathro is going to stand in front of the mic and 'fess up to having picked the wrong team (cf. half time substitutions), got the tactics wrong over two matches or made a major error by sending his troops out five minutes early before the restart.

My point is that he shuts the interviewer down immediately when it was suggested he may have got the tactics wrong. There is no doubt in his mind that he is right. Some will see that as a good thing in a manager. I am not sure that absolute belief in himself will serve him well as he has a lot to learn about being the manager of a professional football team. Time will tell though. I'll be watching with interest.

Neil Lennon did say he would look at his own performance after the Raith draw, saying that it was after tearing a strip off practically the whole team. You do rarely get a manager taking the heat but only when they are in a position of power and they can afford too. Not where Cathro certainly is at present

Sadly, there is no danger he will be in that post next Christmas. Be lucky to see the end of the season pending Budgies finances of course...

I did listen to it all later and I agree he was pretty balanced. It must have been just the selected snippet I listened to first where he sounded a bit so-so.

I'm a bit of a fan of Preston's. He's a great big Jambo but so what? He was decent enough to concede various things to us although it was amusing to hear the obvious pain it caused him!

We mustn't forget this is just a game.

Sounds like he wants to be here next year as well.

Hopefully Lennon will stay with him and we can build something.
