Love how the yams motto for the season has changed from 'we're all in this together' to 'we're all in this together except Gary Locke, who has to go'
I was a guest at Tynecastle this afternoon. A few observations....The main stand, while retaining some character, hasn't changed since the first time i was in it in the late seventies. The roof has netting underneath it to catch any falling corrugated asbestos. The toilets are old and filthy . The catering i avoided but i did notice they provide a vegetarian option, probably vinegar crisps. The crowd were quiet for most of the match and the atmosphere was subdued but fairly supportive, they seem to understand their prediciment and accept that the football will be of a poor standard. There seems to be a general feeling that Gary Locke is clueless but he escapes vocal critisism due to the fact that they understand there is no alternative. The crowd looked to be around about the figures given, i guessed 11,000 although it dropped to around 3,000 by the time the final whistle blew.
The match itself was fairly even in the first half with hearts maybe even having ther upper hand but in the second half Inverness got their act together and killed hearts with a couple of sucker punches...Billy McKay was the difference and his movement and finishing were top drawer. The hearts kids were ok and fought hard but their inexperience shone through on numerous occasions.
the hearts goalie was the busier of the the two and one save in particular was top class, mchattie seems to get it tight from the boo boys but he just gets on with it, hammil gets it tight too but the general feeling is he plays better at full back where he was positioned today, in midfield it is all kids and they have enthusiasm in abundance but lack guile and match awareness, up front they have paterson who spent most of the match rolling about on the floor moaning at the ref for free kicks that never were, he was ineffective and posed little or no threat to a solid and impressive ict back four
all in all the feeling inside the ground is hearts are going down and the football will continue to be painful to watch until new blood can be brought in, one deluded soul, who thought i was a jambo turned to me at half time and said ''we just need an experienced striker and midfielder and we will be able to challenge''...i resisted the urge to pat him on the head and say ''there there'' instead i agreed with him adding, ''if only we had rudi we would be beating this lot today''...he looked wistfully at me as i uttered these calming words and i almost heard him think, 'oh rudi, where for art thou, why have you forsaken us in our hour of need'
nice day out for those prepared to sit amongst the famous unwashed, theres nothing better than watching them get pumped and to do it as your jambo mates sit squirming beside you just makes it more fun...if your spying again M.E. :na na: ...cheers for the ticket and the comfy seat
After Mercer, we are forever known as the team that would not die. Thanks to DC Hibs, they will forever be known as the ****** that would not flush, well done DC :greengrin brilliant.
Comfy seat............. ***********!!!!!!!! Discuss
not been in that dump since the 0-3 millennium trouncing and won't ever be back. Wouldn't go if you paid me to.

People don't seriously think Locke's the reason we lost that game, do they?
At half time, I sat thinking: "Hmm. Good effort, can't ask for anything more. But we've no quality, couldn't hit a barn door, and they're 2nd. We'll lose this 2-0 purely because they have matchwinners, and we don't".
Our opponents today are 2nd in the league and have been the best run club in Scotland for years. We've never been at a lower ebb at any time in the modern era and barely have a squad of players to choose from. No manager who'd take the job can do a thing about that.
And yes, it's incredibly disheartening: demoralising for the players and fans. But we're going down; we haven't got a prayer of doing anything else. And the reason for that is lack of money, lack of quality, lack of quantity and lack of experience. Absolute doddle for any manager to deal with, that little lot.

Shan Lawson speaks his mind.
ha hahahahahaha ha
The reason that hearts never won today was because the referee was bias. Inverness were shouting, kicking and pulling the jerseys and hair of the hearts players and the ref was punishing hearts players instead.
Players like Foran and Goodwin shout because they know they will never be good enough for hearts and they certainly wouldn't get a look in under "normal circumstances".
I hope the referee is watching out for Butchers bullies on the third.
From 'Sick-bag'
'An average hearts team under normal circumstances would NOT carry hammer throwers like foran and goodwin'
Wonder if these 'Normal Circumstances' include their entire history or is it just the 'Money-Years' (The Cheating) they're capable of remembering ???
this guy is never a footballer never mind a forward. one ofthe worst footballers that I have seen at Tynecastle. ******* murder and I have seen some ***** players after watching Hearts for over 50 years.
The guy is being played out of position! Bet you liked him when he scored the winner against Hibs!
never won a ball all afternoon and never had a shot at goal. Get himout of Tynecastle ASAP
Was he not one of the best players
I think it was very short sighted to allow sutton, barr and webster to leave. Any one of those 3 could have made a difference this season. :greengrin
Richie Foran . No doubt lurch will be in for the ****bag come january as he is vermin class :greengrin
At half time he sat thinking " good effort " did he? Was this before or after he`d straightened his back from being hunched over the radio, adjusted his position in his easy chair and shouted down the stairs for his ma to bring the half-time pies and cocoa up to him??
How can any one of the mutants on KB take this walloper seriously??
Its not a Goodwin or Foran we need, they are just dirty , moaning , mediocre players who wouldn`t get a look in at Hearts.
Our winners,:greengrin players who led from the front , players who opposition feared , played with quality , determintation and guts. They never picked up regular stupid yellows or reds like they two dicks do.
Did they not get heavy fines for this ? :greengrin
We'll, I've just watched the first half and Inverness were just bigger and better. All of this "being kicked off the park" is a load of garbage. If anything, the cheats are going down like dying swans and were lucky not to see two reds: one for a two footed lunge by their number 8 and McHattie had a clear swing at someone. ICT are mixing it but they are no worse than the cheats.
It's just excuses and it's the old trick of saying something over and over again until you believe it.
2 things..........
If you're quoting from Kickback please put it in quotes. Otherwise we'll just think YOU'RE extremely stupid :wink:
And...... is this really the thread for them anyway??
Feed the jambos
let them know its Christmas time
