Cathro: 'You've probably got to look at the schematics of Pittodrie'

[G B Young]

"You've probably got to look at the schematics of Pittodrie - there's not that much space. We work in a very, very clear way."

This is in reference to being questioned about Levein passing notes to him from the stand via Jon Daly. Any idea what he's on about?!

The dictionary definition of schematic incidentally is "a representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures".

[makaveli1875]

i can just picture Cathro running around pittodrie with the Architects drawings in hand looking bewildered

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

He no say words very good

[BullsCloseHibs]

Cathro is, quite simply, The Riddler. :agree:

[LaMotta]

Doubt he knows himself, he was prob just reading from a piece of paper Levein gave him.:greengrin

[Alan62]

Fancy words to befuddle the listener and make an excuse sound like a reason.

[emerald green]

He's a total slaver. Cathro must stay. Potter must stay too.

[DarlingtonHibee]

I think he is trying to speak like Jose M,!!! What a slaver! Long may it continue_lol

[Brunswickbill]

I reckon it was a detention slip that was sent from Levein to Cathro.

[Callyballybe]

Cathro really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you Yams!

Maybe that's how he got the job - he went to the PBS to apply for the job of installing their new stand but stood in the wrong queue ?

[Skol]

Does this represent the elements of the Hearts management system using abstract, graphic symbols or is it more of a realistic picture?

Even his post match interview.

"It's a situation where Aberdeen have shown they're in a position where they're stronger, more routined, and managed to take the victory."

This is a FACT. I heard that Djoum and Struna gave Cathro a wedgie and he started to cry. When MacPhee told them to stop they just laughed and then Jamie farted in Cathro's face. Then Levein had to intervene cause Tziolis and Avlonitis wrote "Cathro is gay" on the dressing room wall in Greek. Everyone was s******ing.

If these are stated facts by an eye witness, Cathro is not the one who should be fired, the players involved must be in breach of contract if such behaviour is true, and advised that their contract is cancelled forthwith. The way the team is playing they could sign laddies from the primary school league in Warriston who would be more mature, and give greater effort on the field. If I was a Hearts player I would be ashamed to show my face if I was part of it, and equally ashamed if not a participant that I didn,t take action against at least one of the participants.

[Deansy]

I reckon with Cathro's 'growing reputation' as a bit of a 'Wordsmith' who just loves to over-elaborate, Hearts should sponsor him to appear on 'Red Nose Day 2017' this Friday - sitting all alone in the dug-out, camera slowly closes in on him and he gives his shortest AND clearest statement ever -


WE'RE F******G SH*TE !

Cathro's so modern and innovative in his thinking. I've never heard any other manager talk about the schematics and that.

It's not the first time he's been ahead of the game. After the derby he hit the nail on the head when he said the reason they were pumped was due to the "big hings and the wee hings".

She's punting socialist economics because that's what will currently win her the most votes.

On top of her anti immigration stuff, there's always thinly veiled racism. She makes a big thing about France being a secular state, but the only examples she cites are against Muslim influence. There are other religious influences in French political life (notably RC) which she allows to pass without a word.

She has also proposed, in the past, anti abortion measures (by removing state finance) although she's quietened down on this front. Other FN members (including her niece) are still making these noises.

She also wants to do away with gay marriage.

What you have to do with Le Pen is pay attention to what she doesn't say.

The most telling thing however, is the FN's choice of allies at the European Parliament in Brussels - they're exclusively far right parties from around Europe.

And sorry for derailing the that guys you can all get back to slagging cathro again ;)

[JimBHibees]

Sorry to bring politics onto here but Le Pen is hardly far-right

The media paint that picture of her but she's very different from most Euro-skeptics and has a lot of socialist leanings

You have got to be kidding.

So does Cathro utilise the right wing enough then?

In wartime, communications were passed by hushed word of mouth (Chinese whispers).
These communications could become distorted, hence “Send reinforcements, we’re going to advance” became
"Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance" :greengrin

I'm sure my dad said it was send three and sixpence. I'm sure somebody will know the correct price.lol.

[mjhibby]

Three and fourpence does sound closer to reinforcements mind you. Confusing or what.

Surely three and fourpence is 7p

Nope. a shilling is 5p
3 Shillings = 15p
4.8 pence = 2p

[hibsbollah]

That's just schematics, really.

[Moulin Yarns]

Surely three and fourpence is 7p

7 is 1/- and 4d

1/- is 5p

3/- is 15p

4d is 2

15+2= 17p

As I'm decorating just now I came across some info written on the wall from 1969.

Car Tax was £25
Concorde had just finished test flights
Harold Wilson was PM
3 American Astronauts had orbited the moon
20 cigarettes were 5/2d (27p)
Petrol was 6/6d (35p) a gallon
Pint of beer was 2/1d (11p)
Whisky 61/- a bottle (£3 10p)

in 1991

Car Tax £100
Margaret Thatcher was epode as leader of the Tories
Petrol £2.33 a gallon
Pint of beer £1.40
Edradour Malt whisky £21.50
Motherwell 4 Dundee Utd 3 Scottish Cup Final

I will be updating things, especially the last one

We used to play the pass it on game in the Lifeboys(now that really is for the oldies)where you had to run 100 yards(also for the oldies)and pass on the message this was repeated ad nauseam,literally in some cases,and the team with the nearest approximation to the message won.Perhaps Levein and Daly were not in the Lifeboys and the message from El Supremo to El Fallguy was garbled beyond repair.

[lapsedhibee]

Surely it would have been written in code in the first place? Potter wouldn't want just anyone seeing his "Kick it higher and them more" gems.

[Jack Hackett]

Another aspect of the 'Chinese Whispers' is that after a message has eventually filtered down to the bench, it then has to be passed to a team which, in the main, does not have English as a first language. Google Translate can throw up some strange stuff :greengrin

[Jim Herriot]

I presume Cathro was referring to these plans for his future career as a stand-up comedian.

From today's article. Jeez!

“From this point, it’s the biggest period of our season given the way the fixtures are and the stage we are at. We know where we want to be come the end of that week, then there’s the Kilmarnock game just before the split. We’re looking at that week on its own and we know what we want out of it. It will be a long week and a very important week.”

The week before they got knocked out the cup was the biggest week in their season as they had something to aim at.

Hey presto a wee bit of massaging a pet journalist and the yam are meant to believe it's actually been this week all along. Surely they can't be that stupid?

There must be another DD appeal coming along so another attempt at creating a feel good factor is required. They've made poor father dougal front it as well.

We are thought their season was over, but Cathy has helpfully explained that they are still fighting for a top 6 spot.

Mon the Killie.

The top 6 spot. If they make it the SPFL will need to get a top 6 spot trophy made up so they can form one of their bizarre special relationships

Don't let them down Cathy!

[Slavoj Zizek]

She's punting socialist economics because that's what will currently win her the most votes.

On top of her anti immigration stuff, there's always thinly veiled racism. She makes a big thing about France being a secular state, but the only examples she cites are against Muslim influence. There are other religious influences in French political life (notably RC) which she allows to pass without a word.

She has also proposed, in the past, anti abortion measures (by removing state finance) although she's quietened down on this front. Other FN members (including her niece) are still making these noises.

She also wants to do away with gay marriage.

What you have to do with Le Pen is pay attention to what she doesn't say.

The most telling thing however, is the FN's choice of allies at the European Parliament in Brussels - they're exclusively far right parties from around Europe.

Holy Ground with this pish. That said: [Baron] Emanuel Shinwell down the Left and [Lord] Jeff Archer down the right sounds like the right [sic] combination for Auntie Cathy's Winning Eleven. :wink:

Surely they have a special relationship with the Cooncil - year-upon-year getting safety-certificates for the death-trap that is the PBS and now that they're trying to rectify it, there's some mutterings (admittedly from Hibees !!) that not all the required paper-work for it has been applied-for/requested/granted/paid for/even filled in ??

[Bostonhibby]

C'mon eh :greengrin

Alright then, we know from the Romanov share issue (cash only) and the new megasuperhotelstadium tale they swallowed that they are indeed stupid. Diversion of the DD's might be another more recent example.

Yams, the turkeys that save up for Xmas.

[Mr White]

They'll want, and of course deserve, a guard of honour if they achieve that. Although will one be enough? They've got form for getting greedy with the guards of honour.

Maybe this link from the BBC website clears up the question of who really manages them: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39420858

Not that I listen to much of what Pressley says, but he's right about this.

A couple more bewildering quotes from Cathro yesterday:

"After this game [a 5-0 home defeat], I feel even better and stronger and more confident going into Wednesday’s game than the reverse."

“Often people try to create the idea that one game will have an impact on the next one – it doesn’t."

The boy's a slaver. Makes for quality reading. Said it before, but he reminds me of an keen ERASMUS student who's just learnt a whole bunch of new adjectives and nouns and is determined to shoehorn them into speech come hell or highwater.

The players just dont respect either of them, the s******ing and giggling is still going on in the changing room.
No respect, no fear of a bollocking, just a complete mis match.

This is a FACT. I heard that Djoum and Struna gave Cathro a wedgie and he started to cry. When MacPhee told them to stop they just laughed and then Jamie farted in Cathro's face. Then Levein had to intervene cause Tziolis and Avlonitis wrote "Cathro is gay" on the dressing room wall in Greek. Everyone was s******ing.

If these are stated facts by an eye witness, Cathro is not the one who should be fired, the players involved must be in breach of contract if such behaviour is true, and advised that their contract is cancelled forthwith. The way the team is playing they could sign laddies from the primary school league in Warriston who would be more mature, and give greater effort on the field. If I was a Hearts player I would be ashamed to show my face if I was part of it, and equally ashamed if not a participant that I didn,t take action against at least one of the participants. Yes before anyone asks I do think in my time I was a hardman



The waynefozzie quote is just pure comedy gold:faf::faf:
