Hearts

[Ardenttwo]

Heard it all now. Cathro says that Elgin is not an easy place to come to and win. How does he know that,probably never even heard of or knew where Elgin City were. And to top it off they are delighted Lafferty scored against the mighty City. You could not make it up

They must be chuffed going to a stadium with less capacity than theirs though.

[Jim44]

There are one or two dissenters, but there is an air of relief to get their first competitive win since February. :greengrin. Lafferty is a legend in the making :rolleyes: and their goal was from a set piece showing progress on the training ground and Cathro coming good. :tee hee:

[Baader]

Huge win for them. Sky's the limit with Cathro at the helm.

[GMD]

They had some good early chances but soon ran out of ideas. Wing backs were getting a lot of cross balls in and marking from corners was poor from Elgin. Middle of the park is where Hearts are struggling as Cowie and Bauben offer little creativity and Walker soon didn't look interested. They resorted to punts from Berra to Lafferty in the second half.
Elgin had a couple of good chances near the end and could have equalised.
Hearts have a lot of work to do, look miles away at present.

[RoxburghHibs]

Ultimately they are a crappy wee team that nobody cares a jot about except for their own fans. Elgin are p1sh as well.

[Bostonhibby]

He's back!

Thank you Father Dougal for giving us all a laugh after a dull spell.

Still makes no sense but one day we'll all catch up with you.

All they need to hope for now is getting a free kick on edge of the box they can take quickly and the opposing team switching off every week!

To be fair he's from Dundee and probably has a better idea of where Elginis than many of their fans. An easy mistake to make though since he sounds like he comes from a different planet. 🤖

It's a shame we don't play them till round 11 as we'd destroy them early on. Hopefully they can stumble through the first few games to keep the master tactician in a job.

It'll take them a few weeks to gel as well though so they may yet come good.

[Future17]

Some absolute nonsense gets spouted on here at times:

Cathro doesn't know where Elgin City are from and a team are happy their new signing scored for them.

Yeah you "could not make it up". :rolleyes:

I think they are going to have to gel with a few more away fixtures.

I was having a chat with the site foreman a couple of days ago and I asked if they would be ready for the Aberdeen game.

No chance was the reply, and he went on to tell me that Mrs Budge has asked the SPFL if Hearts would be allowed to play a further two home games away.

An absolute joke that they are allowed to rearrange any fixtures at all. Will they expect Hibs to move games when they have a dozen or so home games in a row? Tynie was playable last Friday night, its playable now and they should never have been given any dispensation at all.

I hope they are told no.

They can play friendlies and league cup games at tynie, so why not league games?

Plus, while playing 5 games in a row away is difficult, having arun of five or so home matches later in the season would be a big advantage.

Suck it up, if they got their plans wrong it should be their problem to deal with, not inconveniencing all the other teams.

:agree: Plenty clubs in Scotland play in half built grounds in front of three stands whilst part of the ground looks like a building site, don't see much difference here?

unless there's some reason why the SPFL don't want games to be played there even though they certainly can when it suits hearts?

The only reason there is, is that Hearts would lose out financially. Every other club has to accommodate them for the sake of their bank balance.

Hertz have a tough start. Can Cathy survive first 10 games? Let's hope so.

Sorry to p on your parade, but I would be genuinely astonished if anyone who lived in Scotland, never mind someone born in Dundee, hadn't heard of Elgin.

Also, I'm always delighted when a Hibs striker scores a winner.

A 1-0 win away at Elgin might not be a spectacular result against a Div 2 team, but I'm not sure a 3-0 home win against one is anything to crow about either. Having said that, a 1-0 win for us in the away fixture will be job done although I hope for more.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

That's my worry. He's out a job and Hartley is in by the time they come to ER. Much different proposition we'd be facing then

What do you want him to say he's disappointed they won & dissapointed lafferty scored ??
What couldn't you make up ? What am I missing,are his comments so shockingly outrageous ??

I guess its a case of first asking the League, if they can ask the opposition if they are willing to swop.

If either say no they will have to play in front of three stands and offer some sort of compensation to those who have bought seats in the new mega stand and can't make the re-arranged fixture.

Maybe an brick from old stand would suffice . :greengrin

[eastmainsmsh]

Dunfermline gubbed the mighty Elgin anaw lol

[MrRobot]

Who cares about Cathro, Hearts, Lafferty or Cathro's geography? Can we not just stick to discussing our own team and not appearing to be obsessed with their every move?

[Keith_M]

So Hearts scraped a 1-0 win against the same side that lost 6-0 to Dunfermline on Saturday?


Impressive.

They are building new houses directly behind my house. I was walking past the other day and one of the gaffers (who I see from time to time) let on to me. I asked how long to go and he said 'supposed to be September but no ****ing chance.'

Go and read some other threads about this and it will give you an insight to it.

Btw let's not kid ourselves on here, they are way behind schedule and that's just looking at the photos posted about the place.

Greenginger lives near the building site, he monitors the situation on our behalf. Site managers and site workers are notorious blethers, I should know, if Greenginger says its behind schedule its pretty certain its true. Looking at the pictures of the current progress I am certain it is behind schedule. Having worked on hundreds of these steel frame constructions, including the Easter Road East Stand, I tend to agree... There is no way that will be ready on time.

I would not question Greenginger, but a foreman is another matter. How would a foreman know that budgie has gone to the SPFL to rearrange games. Site rumours? There would be more than one foreman depending on the number of trades. If it was the Project/Construction Manager then it would carry a bit more authenticity to it.

It may well be that the construction slips but weren't they on a tight schedule anyway.

This is contrary to what I've heard from someone who works on the site. It's on target for their Aberdeen game albeit it will be a shell with seats and toilets but useable. The actual offices and restaurants are next January.

Site meetings.

At the (I'd imagine) weekly meetings everyone will be represented. The client (possibly Budge herself), the Architect, engineers, etc and each of the contractors (normally the site foreman + an office guy).

If the project is running late, then all possible solutions and outcomes will be discussed.

[Pete]

We're talking a couple of weeks difference when considering the projected finish date and what GG is saying he's been told. It's hardly beyond the realms of impossibility.

You'd have to question why any genuine Hibs fan would jump on what he's saying. Makes you wonder if wee raw nerve has been touched.

You're right, I didn't wander on to the site, I was standing at the site entrance and the foreman came over for a chat with me.

[Ozyhibby]

Looking at the photos, there looks like no chance that the stand will be ready by sept 9th.
It will cost them a few quid but I think that game will go ahead as planned in front of three stands.
If the delay runs much longer then it will cost them a lot of money.
Not appointing a main contractor on a fixed price can sometimes by penny wise, pound stupid.

Maybe you could ask your source on the site how he feels about the work going on for six months and the Building Warrant not having been issued yet.

And , before you " call me " as you put it, check yourself on the Council Website.

Warrant application 16/03739 applied for in September 2016. Still noted as pending consideration.

If there is only a 4 week over-run it should be hailed as a success.

Building the stand from the back to the front and going off half-cocked without the designs approved is a recipe for delays and overspends.

If the builders get it within a month of schedule they deserve a medal, probs the only ones to be seen around Tynie this season. :greengrin

I have no wish to look on council websites at their application. If it's passed or not it doesn't interest me. It's also unrelated to your claims of being notified of is delayed which I'm assured it's not but hey I'll guess we will see come their game v Aberdeen. It'll be confirmed then.
My mate works on site and I've no reason to doubt him. But you seem to know more about the build and planning / building regs than Budgie. I couldn't care to be honest but I don't believe you got told that (or maybe you did and they're on to you given your fixation)

Could you speak to your friend and ask him what the delay duration was between the original programme for the precast installation element of phase 2 (lower part of stand) versus the current programme.

You see, a construction programme can finish on the same date but the tasks that get you there change about. Unfortunately, the precast is critical path and any delay to install will mean acceleration to other trades to try and catch up.

This is where the programme usually unravels as the follow on trades 'fail' through no fault of their own but they simply run out of time.

So even though your friend is being told there is no delay, there actually is quite a significant one for precast install.

For what it's I think Hearts will "extend the time-scale", so there will never be a delay. Just like they "extended the budget" so there wouldn't be an overspend.

[Libby Hibby]

Thanks for that, could you ask you m8 in services when he is expected to start phase 2 service install and when he was supposed to start. The time delay on this compared to the delay duration for the precast will show how much has been caught up.

[WhileTheChief..]

Putting an awful lot of faith in one wee thing being incorrectly updated on the council website.

Is anyone suggesting that fans won't be allowed to sit in the stadium when it's complete?

Or is the suggestion that something backhanded is going on?

Totally confused by it all.

Can we not just accept that the stand is being built in good faith but might take a bit longer than expected? It's hardly unusual is it?

Kinda wish they had more time to make it look better though. Those windows on the front are horrendous, don't know how anyone can describe it as classy.

Look I couldn't care anymore so fair enough. I'll believe my mate and you can believe yours ?

None of my mates have commented on the matter.

[Kato]

Kinda wish they had more time to make it look better though. Those windows on the front are horrendous, don't know how anyone can describe it as classy.

They could have all the time in the world and it would look cack-handed as they will never have any taste.

I don't think their timetable is worth any of us falling out over.

Maybe the guy who spoke to me was just looking for someone express his frustrations to, or maybe he knows something your guy doesn't, who knows ?

Time will tell. :agree:

[WeeRussell]

Probably totally off topic, but I just saw the thread title.

Some may be interested to hear we are even money to finish above Hearts this season with bet365. They have hearts as 8/11 favourites. There are a lot of very confident people on here with regards to our chances versus theirs who may see that as very nice value.

My yam associates believe they have signed better quality and we will struggle to finish anywhere near them and even top 6.

I said fine let's wait and see what happens.

I also suggested that one maybe 2 at a push would be in our starting 11. The one being Walker.

We shall do our talking on the park!

It's obviously impossible to know exactly which sides will have improved the most over the close-season.

However - I think many would agree that Hearts had more to do than Hibs to get up to the standard required - especially after their January window.

There will be more signings to come from both sides I'm sure but the bare facts of things so far are that Hibs have signed more established quality in terms of international caps, higher-level experience etc.

Some of the less-known players for either side (Murray & Big Davie for us and Grzelak, Smith, Stockton & Smith-Brown for Hearts) may turn out to be gems but that is not yet known so hard to see how Hearts fans can be overly confident at the moment.

Either way - as our unbeaten run against them continues things will become clearer. Three years is a long time but four sounds better ☺

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

They're just a bunch of arrogant fuds, they conveniently forget they still have Cathy in charge of the clowns, someone they wanted hung drawn and quartered a few weeks ago.

Absolute plums.

You can get 6/2 for them not getting a penalty in the first game of the season, and 70/7.3 for it being not Walker diving to get it.

[Steve20]

Both Hibs and Hearts will be top 6, IMO. Not sure who is looking the better to finish above the other just now.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I reality I don't think the Yams have any better idea of how they are set for the new season than we do. They by all accounts played pretty well against Newcastle, but struggled to open up Elgin City. We played pretty well against Sunderland and very well at times against Montrose, but then St Johnstone put Sunderland into perspective by thumping them 3 - 0 though I would guess they are further forward in their pre season than we were.

The Yams have a number of new players and wont know how well they will get on as a team until they face a real test ..... Hibs are in the same boat to an extent with Whittaker, Murray, Swanson and Matulevicius, but we will get a better idea of where we are at when we face Ross County tonight, even though two of the folk on that list might not feature.

Both clubs are looking over their shoulder waiting for bids for their best players in Walker and McGinn ..... on that front the Yams are probably more nervous than we are, McGinn though a player who will obviously look to move eventually seems happy at Hibs for the moment and our asking price will put off a number of clubs .... Walker on the other hand seems far more unsettled and the Yams have apparently already turned down a bid of £600,000 from Sevco, but the question is how intransigent can they afford to be with 2 or 3 million quid still to find for their new stand and Walker's contract running down.

Both clubs are probably set enough that in general they can hope to be too good for clubs in what is likely to be the bottom 6 .... how set up they are to compete with last years top 4 is a different matter, only time will tell how that will go.

I think we will. Depends how long they take to upgrade the laptop. :wink:

Agreed, both are top 6 clubs this season. With that said, I give Hibs the advantage since its being lead by Lennon. Much better manager.

Hearts were in relegation form at the end of last season.....im not sure who they have signed apart from lafferty and berra....but those two wouldnt make them top 6 from the way they ended last season.....

No, Kitchen. Perry Kitchen.

nothing a good flush won't sort out

i wonder if he got 'Randers' mixed up with 'Rangers' and only realised he was in denmark, and not Govan,when he saw the signposts

[Northernhibee]

Nah, definitely Perry Kitchen. He has a Wiki page and everything.

[Geo_1875]

Is he definitely gone?

Is it curtains for Kitchen?

You'd have to be blind(s) not to see that.

Lafferty might improve their options up front but Berra is not as good as Patterson.

[21.05.2016]

The tramps on keekback are ****ing themsleves into a coma over Lafferty scoring against the mighty footballing golliath that is Elgin City :rolleyes: whilst at the same time slagging Commons with one roaster even saying "the vermin are desperate, even a fully fit Commons wouldn't get into our starting 11". They're talking about Lafferty bagging 20+ goals this season. He's scored 64 goals in all competitions, at 8 different clubs since 2005, even in his prime at the huns he wasn't a 20+ a season striker so where they are getting that expectation from is anyones guess. 64 goals in 12 years really doesn't have me quaking in my boots. He'll pop up with goals now and again but absolutely nowhere near as much as the yams are thinking.

Honestly, you really couldn't make it up with them :faf:

[SirDavidsNapper]

At the end of the day Hibs will do the talking on the park against that lot as usual

[Lancs Harp]

Lafferty is a donkey, if not an ass. He makes Grant Holt look like Usain Bolt.:wink:

He certainly is, big lanky galoot but it will only take 1 goal against us to be a hero with the tramps even if he scores no other goals. Like with everything, it all lives and dies with how a player (or manager in Neilsons case) performs against hibs. He's already got the obligatory "sign for hearts and immediately have a dig at hibs to sook up to the fans" box ticked.

Neilson did a very good job at hearts, got them promoted first time of asking followed by a 3rd place finish, quite impressive but he was disliked by a lot of the hearts supporter because he failed against hibs. They are utterly defined by us. If they had held on against us at tynecastle and knocked us out the cup, Neilson would have been a hero. It'll be the same with Cathro, he's not popular but i'm sure he's aware that a win against us is enough to have the tramps bowing at his feet.

Brilliant post. A great analysis of the backwards mentality of your typical Hearts supporting moron.
