Who is Beers?

[frazeHFC]

Who is Beers?

Assume he means Berra

[green day]

I'm hoping to get the beers out, but I assume you mean Berra?



😃

[hibbyfraelibby]

Berra?

[Hiber-nation]

Suspect he means Berra

Ah right! Great news then.

[DavidDavidGray]

Do you mean Berra? If so that is fantastic

[IGRIGI]

Berra or beers out? Either will do :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol@beers

[CentreLine]

They only said he was a doubt on Sportscene.

[IGRIGI]

Wait... is it a suspension or "injury"? If it's the latter it's a play straight out of Levein's playbook prior to a derby.

[CentreLine]

That said, if he has concussion and hearts play him Friday, that would be utterly reckless

Agree, I'll beerlieve it when I see it on Friday.

[Diclonius]

Good. Their best player.

[Stevie Reid]

He was taken to hospital with concussion. Think there are FIFA rules on not being able to play again within a certain time frame. Said he was a doubt on Sportscene.

[hibbyfraelibby]

If he has concussion he should be out on Friday. In rugby its normally two weeks out automatically and as their hoofball style and tackling more closely ressembles rugby should see him side lined. If they play him then I reckon the Health and Safety Exec should come down on rhem big time.

[hibsbollah]

Good. Their best player.

Id say 'Zico' Cochrane is better than 'Beers' Berra. Both considered crucial players by 'Craphoose' Levein.

[Hibbyradge]

No chance

[Billy Whizz]

Hope he’s ok though

[Iggy Pope]

If he's still out his nut come Friday I hope they play him.

[S4uzee]

The classic hearts tactic pre derby 😴

[neil7908]

He'll play

[Ozyhibby]

7 days min for a concussion nowadays. Wonder if Hearts will gamble with the players health?

You’ve got to hope not. No player’s health should be put at risk, no matter how much you define your success or failure against the opponent

[IGRIGI]

If Hearts get pumped Levein is facing a bloodbath, he'll put Berra out in any condition.

Is that a rule? I thought concussion was a judgement call.

Pretty sure it's a guideline as opposed to an actual rule but happy to be proved wrong.

His judgement was called as soon as he left Ipswich.

Made me laugh

Beers out the derby.

Could be the start of a Carlsberg weekend:thumbsup:

[SirDavidsNapper]

Huge loss for them if he's out. Easily their best player.

I'd be better pleased if the young right back they have on loan is still unavailable.

[Aldo]

He’ll play. I’ve no doubt about it!

SFA guidelines. If he plays Friday then they are ignoring the governing bodies own guidelines.

The difference this time is that it’s concussion we’re talking about and it won’t be a judgement call from Levein.

Tbf I don’t think it’s been confirmed as concussion yet.

[Kato]

No player’s health should be put at risk,

In that case no team should be forced to play against those cloggers.

Why is he having to sit in a waiting room in Hearts' own hospital? :confused:

[MacGruber]

Haha - got to love the auto correct

What I meant is Berra is out of the derby and beers are out for the derby too - why not 😂

[Iggy Pope]

You'd think the Germans had won the bloody war.

[MacGruber]

Also - I was sure sportacenr bloke said he was out after having been admitted to hospital with concussion. I thought that meant he couldn't play for a period as a rule. If it's only guidance he'll probably get wheeled out

[MacGruber]

'Sportscene' - auto correct even trickier when you've had the beers out!

[JimBHibees]

On sportscene

He will play be sure of that and to be honest who cares we beat them with or without.

Does appear as if he has competition from refereeing duties though with Naismith sharing the whistle today as well?

Yams have their own counting systems though. Under one of them he could probably sit out 6 days and play on Friday.

[Pretty Boy]

It was a pretty bad head knock he took and his eyes looked gone when he got up. If he was a boxer the fight would have been stopped if he looked at the ref like that.

I know Hearts have a history of miracle recoveries pre derby but he looked all over the shop and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is out.

If we win on Friday, he can use any excuse he wants to be honest.

We'll beat Hearts Berra or no Berra. One thing about our front line is that they are now both occupying back fours for the whole 90 minutes, whereas with Stokes he opted to come deep or drift out left and not track back. Kamberi and MacLaren work the central pairings really hard and split them which leaves acres of space. One thing they will do is foul Allan and Dylan as often as possible and it'll be yet another foul fest from them. A strong referee and early booking will set the tone and hopefully allow us to play football v their predictable hoofball.

Can't wait for the game :aok:

They will do everything possible to stop us playing and there will without doubt be loads of fouls! Stay disciplined and don't get involved in petty stupid fouls.

O more importantly play football

[Waxy]

They’ll say he’s out but will be back at the last minute to try and lift them up for the match.Shenanigans from them i expect.

[Ozyhibby]

Fair bit of pressure on Levien. Cathrine finished 5th last season. Levien is in danger of doing even worse than him.

Heard this piss all before from hearts and potter. He will make a miraculous comeback. We will smash them anyway. We will be totally fired up for this after potters comments before. Can’t wait.

Right now I’d fancy Killie and Motherwell to finish above them.

That record of clean sheets was great for them but it was completely unsustainable and they don’t score enough goals.

Combine with the fact they’re losing momentum at exactly the worst possible time for them I’d say there must be a good chance they won’t make the top 6.

I fancied them to be relegation candidates earlier in the season though so I’m maybe not the best judge when it comes to that mob.

If it’s concussion I don’t think they’ll have the choice.

I expect the boy on loan from Man U to start though.

I wouldn’t put it past them to lie if he isn’t.

Mitchell is a class player, Boyle will make sure he’s stuck st the back which is his weak spot.

Motherwell have rotten fixtures pre-split. Sevco Celtic and Aberdeen

I thought he was utterly dreadful last Derby at Easter road. Constantly hoofed the ball anytime the ball came near him. As others have said, we will beat them with or without him but if he's playing then I'd be telling Maclaren and kamberi to be right on his toes and rush him when he's on the ball

No, no, no, you're not getting it, two thirds of their defence and their keeper are the future of our national side.

Lets focus on playing the way we can and not get caught up taking the bait of the shower of £h!t# ....i am not
interested.in what any of them have to say, how about we just ignore anything that comes.from there this week, if they get no reaction from us it will be interesting to see how they deal with that ..!!!?, ??

Berra's aerial prowess played a significant part in our defeat in the last derby. If he has been diagnosed with concussion then he will be unable to play on Friday as it is a minimum 7 days with no physical activity, not even training. Would not be covered by insurance in any event.

Berra is rotten!!!!

Just play the game not the occasion. We are going to have a lot of the ball so need to get it wide and have guys running into the box. I think they will struggle with our front two and if berry is out we need to be good at set pieces. Only being overconfident will bother us. Full throttle like the dons second half. The guys have had a good rest so should be raring to go.

[Sauzee16]

No he isn’t.

Would you have Berra ahead of Hanlon Daz or Efe?
Slow, hoof’s the ball all the time & panics on the ball.
