End of season awards? Well that will have taken all of two minutes to give the best ball boy and girl their trophies.

A wee shame they didn't manage to scrape into the top 6 as I am sure we could have turned them over again at Tynie.

Not as easy as that. Bear in mind the derby would have been their cup final, they would have rested players and gone all guns blazing in that game. It defines their season and how their managers are viewed above all else. Gutted SDG never got to improve his record against time though

Oh come on. Even them raising their game from its general level of rubbish we would still turn them over.

From the Evening News:

'Hearts' partnership with Jamestown Analytics means that every head coach appointed is first scrutinised by its data system and, among the criteria candidates must adhere to, every team boss must be on board with using it for player recruitment or they will not get the job.'

It's a process which is proving worth its weight in gold so far. Glad to hear they're sticking with it.

Also loving this from the Record:

'Former Heart of Midlothian captain Steven Pressley would be willing to leave his role as Brentford's head of individual development to help his old club, who have dismissed head coach Neil Critchley, steer clear of relegation trouble.'

If they lose at Dingwall ***** will be seriously twitching down Gorgie way.

I can see them going to a good old traditional Hearts style for that game. Hoofball to that big huddy Elton. Critchley was too exotic for them.

If only they had managed a draw in their two defeats and that one point would have seen them in the top six.

But they didn't.....

Martindale could be an ideal fit for Hearts. His football is of the style that traditionally serves Hearts well. They tried a more aesthetic style of play with Critchley but the fans don’t have the patience for it, or to at least see the long game and rewards that may have come next season had they secured top flight status and saw a summer window with more footballing incomings.

Instead, it’s just simply the long game itself. It suits Hearts, it’s what the fans know and are comfortable with and they’ll put up with anything provided someone can bundle in a goal or a deflection for a 1-0 win.

Rumoured to be releasing a DVD for Christmas

Whose playing Critchley in it?

If it's a pantomime Dhanda's obviously got the Russell Grant gig sewn up.

The media training at Tynecastle must be world-leading.

Shanklands wee grin makes him look so bad.

Kinda like he’s delighted Critchley got sacked.

Budge really reeks of arrogance. Proper bowling club committee vibes from the hierarchy at Hearts

Funny, I thought the exact opposite

His response to the first question made it look like he didn't agree to me

I'd still take him here too

thats tremendous. Anne is flustered and just rude. Shankfurtheids face when asked about players taking responsibility looks like a wee boy at school getting a telling off

Smug smirk on his face when asked both questions. What a captain eh

[Springbank]

One or two jambos over the road are saying they hope the League Managers Association reports Budge for her remarks, given that 2 people have just lost their jobs and when asked about it (as the employer in question) she just said "yesterdays news"

It doesn't feel very respectful or classy, I'd have to agree

[flash]

Wins for Ross County, Killie and Dundee on Saturday would make things a wee bit interesting.

Mental opinion that. Why would you take a guy who has proven that he lacks the professionalism to even do the basics, ie no be a fat ****

And we now have him smirking like a wee laddie getting in trouble, he’s meant to be their captain and leader. And you say you want him here!! 😂😂

Penrice would maybe get on our bench, other than that we’re stronger than they tramps all over the park. Long may it continue.

My opinion is he would score a barrel load playing upfront on a 2 and not being a 10 or wide or whatever else hearts were trying to do with him

He does the basics - even during a poor goal scoring season any defender will tell you he's a pain to play against

Yep. All she had to say was something diplomatic along the lines of "we thank Neil and his assistant for their efforts and we're now moving on".

Report her for saying that? It's probably not all that professional but it's really a nothing comment at all.

Hardly anything to be reporting someone over.

Ooft, that looks like a very bewildered bunch! Obviously all under instruction to not comment. Jeez.

Conference Centre isn't a cheap booking. Why aren't they using the bigliest, most bigley impressive facilities at the most bigliest tin stand in Scottish football for their "awards"?

If they sacked Critchley then they need one less seat. Sorted.

[Bostonhibby]

Bottlers sacked the guy before their awards to take the heat of themselves at the awards then refused to discuss it, it's the hearts way.

I'm seeing the press speculating around the likes of Mcglynn, Pressley and Neilson. So much for Jamestown's wonderful Analytics.

I did read this comment in the EEN:

Hearts' partnership with Jamestown Analytics means that every head coach appointed is first scrutinised by its data system and, among the criteria candidates must adhere to, every team boss must be on board with using it for player recruitment or they will not get the job.

So a "head" coach with no authority at all! Not allowed to input into player recruitment plus other restrictions as well. No doubt the yams will tell everyone it's what big clubs do.

If they go for one of those, or McInnes or Robinson then they're essentially admitting the analytics is p*sh. I'll enjoy listening to McKinlay's verbal gymnastics trying to explain it. It will be the same with the fans when you say "I see you've ditched the analytics". Should be a laugh.

Have said all along that analytics is all well and good but when you've got clueless fuds like they have making the decisions, the analytics makes next to no difference. They'll do the same as last time and manipulate the critieria to get the output they want then gaslight the fans to say he scored very highly.

It was a daft, panicky comment from a flustered woman. Hardly merits some sort of sanction.

She's well out of touch though if she thought any reporter was there to ask questions about their end of season bash!
