    Potter

    It's not just down to him being a yam fud, I found his arrogance repellent as Scotland and Dundee United boss too. Yesterday's post-match quotes are classic Potter, basically giving the impression that he is the ultimate authority on the game and that referees should defer to his opinion. The Motherwell boss mentions that he thought that they also might have had a penalty, but with none of know-it-all Levein's pomposity.

    Has the guy ever acknowledged what a disaster he was as Scotland boss, or held his hands up and admitted he was 100% responsible for the Cathro fiasco?

    As our manger is being linked with the Scotland job It’s great trolling the yam fuds by asking if they think Levein could be in with a chance of getting it. Oh aye 6-4-0 🤣🤣

    I liked the hypocrisy of Levein complaining about refereeing errors when he'd been so quick to gloat about them when Shaw's goal was ignored.

    Just another entry for the list of reasons to dislike him (currently at Volume 4, Book 8, Page 187)
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Pep is desperately hoping his bosses don’t notice what a job Levein is doing.

    The other day I listened to his interview when his United side had been absolutely mugged at Ibrox. It is the only time that I have ever warmed to Craig Levein. I loved his approach at that point, he was 100% correct in everything he said, he was honest, to the point and totally scathing about what he'd just witnessed. He was passionate and it was brilliant.

    It was strange, because as Scotland and Hearts manager I've spent most of my time wondering what on Earth this clown is on. I know a Hearts manager is not exactly ever going to play to us as a crowd, but he comes away with a lot of stuff that guys like Paolo Sergio (who I'd have a fair bit of grudging respect for due to the way he carried himself) would not.

    His treatment of Fletcher was nothing short of absolutely abhorrent and I’m convinced it was due to his Hibs connections.

    Skip to about 3 minutes 55 seconds, I presume it is that one. Berra playing the man and not the ball, penalty and possibly a red card.

    The simple and arrogant act of not approaching the ref against Hamilton sums Levein up. There's a huge difference between being confident and arrogant... Levien is an arrogant tit.

    The man absolutely sums up what it means to be a jambo. Classless, bitter and with the sole purpose in life to simply just get one over on hibs.

    Grade A fud if ever there was one. Him and hearts are a match made in heaven. His comments about Lennon making a career out of "kicking lumps out of people" are utterly cringeworthy. No Craig, Lennon made a career out of winning trophies whilst you didn't and were involved in the biggest bottle job in Scottish football history in '86. Your a perpetual loser Levein and fine well you know it, not to mention embarrassing your country on a world stage with your anti-football, defeatist formation you put out for Scotland.

    The "natural order" comments are typical yam. Delusional, arrogant and utterly cringeworthy to say the least. Laughable.

    I thought you said Breast?

    Potter also goes down as possibly the UKs least fashionable manager / person in football. His lack of quality knows no bounds.

    Very easily by a country mile the biggest bottle job in Scottish footballing history. Nothing could have hurt as much as that particular sound of maroon bottles being smashed to smithereens. The league title was all but theirs until a certain Sir Albert Kidd intervened entering into hibs folklore and the maroon bottle jobs nightmares forever. God bless Sir Albert Kidd a true legend never to be forgotten.

    His right hook on graeme hogg in a bloody friendly sums him up. His obsession with Derby results is just another symptom on his arrogance which has no substance to back it up. I can live with guys being arrogant ass holes if they have great talent but when you don't have the talent you look a bitter sad guy which is what he is. As was said he and hertz were made for each other and the fact that Queen Anne doesn't say a word shows she is complicit in his behaviour. Compare his reaction with our manager reaction to Shaw disallowed goal. Neil Lennon is a huge achiever who deals with issues, Potter is a total underachiever who blames everbody bar himself. Almost laughable who he joked about shaws goal then moaned about Wells equaliser. No class, dignity or talent. BTW his beloved box soccer is killing the development of youth football but that's another story.

    His comment about the hearts goal last week "I almost wish it didn't actually go over!" shows him for what he is. He would actually rather it was not a legitimate goal JUST because it would piss off hibs a bit more. A truly sad sad individual. To be pitied more than disliked tbh.

    Dr Football himself has won nothing in the game. Nothing, nada, zilch. To be clear he has been employed in football for 37 years and has not one trophy to his name as either player or manager.

    His own fans hold him in such esteem a whopping 3500 turned out for his testimonial to watch Hearts pumped 5-1 by Coventry. It was so embarrassing they had to organise a 2nd one against us to drum up some interest, we won 1-0.

    You'll forgive me if I don't give a **** what Craig Levein has to say about football. Loser

    Levein actually didn’t participate in bottle crash at Dens Park , he bottled it and ruled himself out.

    I heard that Levein s**t it so much in 86 he never even travelled with the team, he was the captain at the time.

    Imagine never even going to support your team mates as captain.

    Exactly this, quite happy to laugh and joke about bad refereeing decisions when they go his way, then gets all upset when he thinks they go against him. Tw#t of a man, some of the decisions are not even that bad that he's greetin about.

    That’s not true...after all, he won the Tennents Sixes in 85.

    I laughed out loud at several of the points you made MJ, spot on. However I have to disagree with you re the highlighted section. Unfortunately he can back it up, both as a player and a manager. Only time will tell with regard to his percentage stats as a manager against us.

    I'd be interested to hear more on the box soccer front.
