Stay strong Graigie boy.
I know it's only a draw, but you had more corners and fouls than the mighty Ross County. Ignore the fact that your team were outplayed and should have lost.
Stay strong!

Craig looking for positives:
Hearts manager Craig Levein: "We were second best all over the park and on another day we'd have lost the match. I thought our defending was poor today, we created a lot of problems for ourselves.
"Then when we did defend well we couldn't control the ball in midfield and when we did that we did nothing with it in the forward areas."
Cludgie Craig or Loo LeveinQuote:

How can they said him he is undefeated :wink:Quote:

Simple one is to No Limits by 2 Unlimited but change the word “limit’ to “medals”.
It would be a first if turds was included in a song :greengrinQuote:

The clapping at stands whilst hilarious is surely an urban myth? Seriously, no one stands clapping at an empty stadium after getting beat in a cup final?Quote:

Can they afford him and a manager? Will be interesting to see how she handles the pressure to get rid off if the poor run continues.Quote:

Yes good summary. An endless list to laugh at. The Portuguese who managed the cup winning team was ok to. Robbie Neilson's appearance but ok manager. Fans help bump him out.Quote:

I was just going to say the same thing. There is only one “Medals” and its not Levein. Thought the thread was actually going to be about the great man.Quote:

Bizarrely, Levein will be under more pressure if we get a result today. Hearts are defined by Hibs and always will be.Quote:

His natural order line got him another 12 months. He'll have a soundbite already prepared. Something that includes 22 in a row or 5-1.Quote:

Have they got anyone else on the board with a football background that will understand a prospective coach's ideas about how to take the team forward?Quote:

She'll just pick the one who seems like the nicest man or who does the best looking PowerPoint presentation with pretty pictures and diagrams.
Think folk are meaning Steven Naismith. Don't get me wrong I'd love it if it was Gary Naismith seeing as he retired years ago! Legs are gone now.Quote:

This was a tweet from Michael Stewart last night the replies to it from yams suggest it is whooshing right over their heads. Stewarts Point is that previously Levein claimed he never signed players as DoF.
Is his job actually in any danger?

+1 to stay....Man's a GENIUS.
I’ve just had a quick look at kickback. They’ve moved on from anger and are now in open letter territory, if this doesn’t work it’s apathy and waxing the rover on match days.
Same as this place?Quote:

YHIHF.
Let's hope that the rumours that he is away are incorrect.
:pray::pray::pray:
You've got Levein,
Runner up Levein,
I just don't think you understand,
He's Ann Budgie's man,

The issue for us is not how bad hearts are. Or whether we are worse. It is more where we are in relation to our own standards of the past couple of seasons.
Levein won't get emptied, nobody dictates to Queen Ann
Stay strong Craigie boy.

He won't get emptied. He'll grind out a result next Sunday and all will be rosy again. We've had many opportunities to deliver the Coup de grâce to Levein and failed each time.
So much for their much lauded fan ownership. It seems they are right back to kicking Russian hats around outside the stand. Bless them 😏
Looks like he won’t walk away. Sorry if already posted.

They will be in utter turmoil if we beat them on Sunday.
