He’s trying to create a siege mentality. This is after the “when we get back to tynecastle, we’ll finish second “ failed miserably. The problem they’ve got is that they’ve got an absolute *****bag as a manager and they’ve got a ***** team, being followed by cardigan wearing rover enthusiasts.

When a man's words and general demeanor make me feel empathy with Michael Stewart, that man must be a grade A throbber.

Step forward Craig Levein

[IGRIGI]

Harry Bottler's lost it, the comment regarding Stewart being the worst value signing is cringetastic, he's a broken man.

I don't think he's realised that by having such a direct go at Stewart he's just going to have all media outlets running to Stewart for his opinion each time Hearts are gubbed.

[StevieCowan]

I hope Michael comes out and tells the world why he doesn’t like Levein..

[Johnny_Leith]

For those unfamiliar with 'Open goal' it's an interview series by weegie Simon ferry, current Peterhead midfielder previously of Portsmouth, Swindon and Dundee.

In his Scotland section of James McFadden's interview, it gives some insight into Craig Levein as a manager...

https://youtu.be/kmx0RNJG-3A

Ps, there's some good interviews in his series, including Kevin Thomson.

[Bostonhibby]

Was it the same big boy as gave him a Chinese burn the last time? If so if I was him I'd tell that nice Mrs Budge, she'll send a letter to the teacher.

It's bad enough having to give his play piece to that lennon boy but if Stewart is calling him names as well it's no wonder he can't get his team to play football / win a game.

He was probably a victim when he was in the Scotland role as well but there was nobody to write a letter for him.

Enjoy how a professional football manager deals with the press :greengrin

[mjhibby]

To think he was scotland manager. He just can't take criticism as shown when punching Graham hogg. He sums up the hertz ethos of there always being a reason why they aren't winning. They have overspent for decades and now it's a level paying field and we are on the up reality is biting. Whether stewart has an agenda I'll leave that for others to decide but losing to rangers and Killie at home and drawing with Partick and Ross County is rank by anybody standard. They gone through every excuse in the book, injuries, playing away from home etc and still they are poor. By carrying on this nonsense it's leven who is cringe worthy and embarrasing but the hertz fans lap it up like the zombies they are though a few are brave enough on sickbay to stand up and say he's not good enough. Loving it though and should they not beat Hamilton then sport scene should be fun or maybe Mikey will politically be given the night off. The biggest laugh is he's just heaping pressure on himself and his team and setting himself up for a fall.

I am not a fan of Stewart personally but when he is making a point he always has a justification for why he thinks that way. Listening to potters post match interview last week he was just out right lying about the atmosphere at full time. Never mind Stewart I'm sure many fans would have laid into Potter and been asking how the quality of the team is gash and he has been guiding it for years as director of hoofball.

No fan of Potter but listening to MS on his privileged platform with a jarring lay obvious agenda begs the question as to how far things can be taken by a public broadcaster regardless of whether he is right or wrong.

[Col2]

Michael Stewart generally talks a lot on sense and explain the rationale behind his views unlike some of the more basic pundits like Derek Ferguson and Alan Preston.

He consistently praised Hearts off field progress and gives credit to Levein and Neilson in the earlier years.

Anyone who can suggest anything else other than on the field including recruitment the yams have been shocking and it’s sits firmly with Levein.

I thought Stewart played the best football of his career at Hibs. A 2-1 win at ER v Rangers sticks in my mind as Stewart, Thomson and Brown bossed the midfield for the entire game.

I quite enjoy him as a pundit as well. It's clear he could start an argument in an empty room but he strays away from the usual ex player cliches and fence sitting and actually voices an opinion so I respect that.

See he's in the evening news today saying he doesn't believe Hamilton are any more physical than other teams in the premiership obviously having a pop at bartley's comments midweek...the man has a bizarre and weird obsession with us.

Stewart for me was a very good player for us. Also a good pundit as well, says it how it is.

Potter has totally lost the plot, running to the bosses of the BBC because someone is calling him out and his team for what it is. The man thinks he’s a god and the sooner Hibs do them again the better as he’ll end up cracking up.

See he's in the evening news today saying he doesn't believe Hamilton are any more physical than other teams in the premiership obviously having a pop at bartley's comments midweek...the man has a bizarre and weird obsession with us.

Even the thread on Hibs hating Jambo kickback discussing Lennon's comments had folk on it agreeing with him about Hamilton ... and they hate Lennon even more than they do Hibs, so if they did agree with him it wasn't to be nice, it was because Hamilton are indeed over physical at times.

Its reasonably clear that Stewart doesn't like Levin, but as he did on Sportscene last week MS always backs up what he's saying with analysis, which he did by pointing out that any team can register shots on target stats by shooting from 30 yards out, while at the same time acknowledging that Hearts had played better than they had for a few weeks.

Besides, if MS lets agendas influence his take on things you would think that the club who left him on the bench for the whole of a cup final they won 5 - 1 and yet brought on Shelton Martis near the end would be high up on his hit list ... and yet he is usually pretty fair with us. Having said that, I would love to hear his opinion of John Collins :greengrin

The refereeing was fine and I’ve no idea what they’re taking about. They were fouling a lot more than Hamilton in the first half and are simply looking for a scapegoat. Levein and McPhee deserved to go to the stand, especially Levein for his lip. The latter, it was just silliness but McPhee caused it so he’s no complaints.

I think they're goosed an aw. Preston was spinning the loud booing at Tiny Park today as being wholly directed towards the ref and no doubt a lot if it was, but there was relentless groaning throughout the game after misplaced passes, failure to shoot on sight, etc etc etc. Quite a bit of booing Templeton too, who ran rings round them. It was almost as if they couldn't bear a former player reminding them that they used to have players who were any good, and now they don't. At all.

After listening to Potter after the game I now understand why McPhee did what he did.

Potter said that if that had been on the park then both players would have been booked. Why was Austin sent to stand and MacKinninon not booked. That should have been a yellow and with him already booked a Red.

So the stupid games that the management play are trying to cheat the opposition.

We all said it at the time, should never have sacked the Dalry Lama.

Architects of their own downfall here. But at least CHIPS will be served!!

Can anyone confirm chips are on sale or will the hordes have to wait until the stand is finished? It could be the difference between happy and unhappy Jambos

[PatHead]

I am sure when the first bag of chips is served we will hear all about it. It is a world first after all. Probably get Jamie Oliver to serve them.

I thought the chips were already on Potter's shoulder?

Ian Cathro - Schematics

Austin McPhee - Schemie

Levein’s an Absolute clown, listened to his interview from after yesterday’s game.

When a ref wants to speak with a manager, when have you ever seen the ref go into the dugout!! The ref will stand at the edge of the pitch and ask the manager to come to the edge of the technical area to speak to him.

Levein’s words ‘this was madden playing silly playground games to show who’s in charge’

The arrogance of Levein is unbearable.

For the Manager and his assistant to be sent to the stand in separate incidents, both due to their conduct. That must warrant a hefty fine coming there way from the SFA.

After listening to Potter after the game I now understand why McPhee did what he did.

Potter said that if that had been on the park then both players would have been booked. Why was Austin sent to stand and MacKinninon not booked. That should have been a yellow and with him already booked a Red.

So the stupid games that the management play are trying to cheat the opposition.

Well done to the ref for seeing through their assistant coach's attempt to get a player sent off.

It’s all very childish from Potter and one thing he has to understand is that the ref and the officials are in charge!

Arrogance is right. The silly playground game was being played by Potter. Madden doesn't need to show who is in charge the rules of the game make it quite clear the referee is and Potter is just a manager with a foul mouth and a bad attitude.

:agree:

Levein basically admitting he was playing a silly game to try and show who was boss. He lost.

Thanks for that, I’m now subconsciously reading every post in Bane’s voice 😂

It Leaving gets a fine to pay for this, will he owe it to himself?

“I have no idea why he sent me off. He never told me. Do I think he should have came to me? He ran 25 yards, why not run another five? Other than just to show who’s the gaffer. It’s stupid, eh? I don’t think I did anything wrong. He didn’t tell me why I got sent to the stand. If it’s for not walking four yards, that is bizarre.”

So Levein is too self-important to move four yards when even an ounce of common sense would suggest that looking contrite and co-operative may mean getting away with just a warning.

If he didn’t tell him at the time he must have mentioned it at full time. They had quite a long chat with Levein storming off I the huff. Levien will get in bother for the sarcastic clapping after e was sent to the shiny new stand for sure.

I would have assumed that you had made this quote up if I hadn’t just heard him come out with it on Sportscene. His level of arrogance is beyond measure. I hope he gets hammered by the SFA.

Let's not forget McPhee's part in this farce.

They are a complete and utter shambles both on and off the park.

Agree regarding his arrogance. You would think he had won loads in his time as a player/manager.

I'm hoping we go there and tear them another new one to ramp up the pressure.

Wonder if he will sack himself??

[Hibs Class]

I take it levein and mcphee counted as 4 in the official attendance number?

[Firestarter]

Michael Stewart is a ****er
Craig Levein a bigger ****er.

[-Jonesy-]

Funny to see the hertz bench giggling like school kids at big tough Craig no listening to the ref then greetin like wee girls when he gets his marching orders

[andybev1]

As far as hearts fans are concerned, there’s one common denominator in all those defeats.

Rightly or wrongly, he’s a dead man walking and has been since 2-2. If I were him, I’d be asking myself if I really need all this. I’d be off plying my trade somewhere else.

The problem being that he is a jack of all trades and master of none. :cb

For those unfamiliar with 'Open goal' it's an interview series by weegie Simon ferry, current Peterhead midfielder previously of Portsmouth, Swindon and Dundee.

In his Scotland section of James McFadden's interview, it gives some insight into Craig Levein as a manager...

https://youtu.be/kmx0RNJG-3A

Ps, there's some good interviews in his series, including Kevin Thomson.

His interviews are superb. He seems daft as a brush, sort of Cummings-esque! I especially liked his interview with McGeady when they were talking about Thomas Gravesen.

Exactly, just watched it again on the beeb website

The ball is stationary on the touchline and ****gy walks to it, picks it up and then tries to act the smart arse and puts it behind his back

Bloody funny watching him getting put on his erse :greengrin

Shout out to Paul Gallacher, the yams goalkeeping coach, for his part in the tragicomedy. He was going utterly, no disrespect to native Americans, tonto for no apparent reason and had to be held back by the polis. They're great entertainment just now, off the Tiny Park.

Haha! I was wondering who that was, he's got a very short screw, I remember a few times him losing it at Hibs fans whilst playing for Utd.

I loved the way the policeman grab his hood to pull him back. The way you might with a kid about to get into trouble.
