And you rant, pish. Every time we drop points. As if you are waiting for it?That’s more or less what I imagine your reaction to be to the majority of what’s posted. You never make any reasoned point or back up anything you say, you never make any valid counter argument, you merely churn out some nonsensical pish and take off.
“Ayeee but naw, relax, have a cuppa”.
You should really be earning as an attorney.
The question is, can they ?Too many of them don't know what it's like to win medals, they need to find that desire.
We had a very favourable fixture at home to Hamilton and a boost with the scum dropping points shortly before kick off . I never saw that as a big banana peel, if we’d slipped up there then that really would look dire for us. But when Celtic go top and we go away from home knowing we need to win to return to top spot and we once against produce abject shite, then yes people are right to be concerned and to ask question.
I’m really not sure why some of you can’t wrap your head around that.
If we had Hamilton at home today and won 5 nil would that mean the team weren't bottlers?
We need to take a step back as well and take a deep breath. It was a poor display, no defending it but let's be honest, Tynecastle is a tough place to go and come back with 3 points. Doesn't matter what form they are in, 9/10 they raise their game 10 fold whenever us or the Tim's come to Tynecastle.
We've got a really tough schedule of games coming up until the end of the year now and a semi final in two weeks.
We will really know where this team is come the turn of the year.
hearts haven’t won at home since March , have have managed 2 points out of 12 since the start of the season .
Can’t argue with any of thatA poor young Hearts team at Tynecastle should have been three points for Rangers.
Ojo -is not up to hard work, SPL too hard, fast and rough tackling for him, send him home Jan(SG mistake)
Arfield - cannot play 2 good games in a row , 2 or 3 bad games in a row Yes.(Bench)
Aribo-lot better than Ojo but not the finished article,so will not be consistent enough.
Kamara- 50K purchase, barely raised his game above that price tag THIS season.inconsistent.
Tavernier,not same player going forward and now worse in defence,Liability.( Bench)
Goldson, average player at best,Liability. ( bring in Edmondson) wouldn't be any worse.
The squad is supposed be full of decent players.
Flanagan - hard tackler suited to SPL try him at RB.
Helender-Left sided player get him on the pitch with either Edmonson or Katic paired on right.
The six players mentioned Ojo to Goldson are not consistent or good enough to win the SPL remember last season we threw it away due to similar away performances to the one at Tynecastle.
Or we come back from conceding an early goal at a difficult away ground against an obviously determined opposition.
Is that not a response?
We're going to drop points across the season. This seems at odds with FF expectations.
We always seem to be hesitant when up against the ‘ bigger ‘ clubs away from home. And this includes Hampden and it’s been going on for years. Almost as if there’s a lack of belief.
Nobody expects us to win every game but what we do expect is a bit of urgency and a bit of desire, which once again, was sadly lacking today.
I’m now thinking the upcoming semi final is not going to be the straightforward bye into the final I once thought it was.
Tav is getting pelters and rightly so. But there are more urgent concerns that need to be addressed.
We were severely lacking any urgency throughout the team considering what was at stake. Yeah days like today happen, poor performances occur time to time.. But we just looked like a team who had nothing at stake.
The first half was shocking so was expecting them to get a kick up the arse from the gaffer. But if anything the urgency and desire was worse than the first half.
Fans will accept players being off form but they won’t accept players just going through the motions.
We've rode our luck away from home this season. Today we were punished. Performances away from home other then the second half at McDiarmid Park have been poor.
Inability to up the tempo, failure to come out on top from the off, poor, costly defending. All seems to be a problem.
We had more at stake that Hearts today yet we failed to raise the bar. The questions asked of this squad and concerns of last season have been creeping into our game all season.
People are rightly concerned and our away fixtures coming up are brutal.
Stop talking sense mate.
More hysteria from this OP.
Too many of them don't know what it's like to win medals, they need to find that desire.
I was honestly worried when I saw our players faces in the tunnel, everyone of them looked like they were shitting there pants.
We're still a fairweather team unfortunately, great when the pressures off.
Reminds me of the Terry Hurlock post last week......oh to have him out there today,he would have thrived and won us the gameI was honestly worried when I saw our players faces in the tunnel, everyone of them looked like they were shitting there pants.
We're still a fairweather team unfortunately, great when the pressures off.
No they didn’t
We have GoldsonAbsolutely shocking, inexcusable second half performance given how much is at stake.
Quite frankly do we have the minerals to win the league?
Why is our captain consistently costing us in nervy situations?
Awful.
Majority of you are a fucking disgrace in this thread.
One fucking game.
Don’t bother going to Porto or next Sunday then

%^*& up mateToo many not up for the fight. A lack of genuine leaders all over the park.
This is not a league winning team! Not even close.
They had a game in hand.It’s not one fùcking game though is it. We’ve folded several times in bigger games where we’ve had chances to put pressure on, and in cup semi finals.
I've said in conversation to friends and family, if this team can win the first trophy of the season then I think psychologically it will make a massive difference to the team. The problem looks like getting them to want that first trophy of the season.I think the manager is getting sick of their loser mentality. I’m not sure it can be instilled if it’s not there.
It's at the stage where every defeat or draw is just down to a lack of mentality or bottle.
We'll talk about that in May, it's October Christ.
There's 3 or 4 footballing issues that need sorted immediately.
It's not the same team though? The 11s in those games were very different to today's team.It's not one game though is it? I'm assuming you have missed us bottle it after going top 3 times now over this season and last?
I'm assuming you seen us bottle it in cup semi finals and finals over the last few years also.
The Warburton mentality is still present amongst the squad and we will win nothing until it disappears.
How did we get to the top in the first place?Once again we go top, and blow it in the next game. No urgency, no control and another howler to let the opposition steal a point.
A title winning team should be laying siege to their goal in that second half, especially at the end, but what we got was passive, turgid crap with zero urgency. As long as we’re doing this after we go top, our mentality will rightly be questioned.
Can't agree m8 , we had no fire in our belly and were too placid but I didn't see fear, maybe complacent.I was honestly worried when I saw our players faces in the tunnel, everyone of them looked like they were shitting there pants.
We're still a fairweather team unfortunately, great when the pressures off.
I'm annoyed mate, poor stuff today. Felt we just let the game drift away from us-around 60 minutes I thought the goal was coming but thought we missed Jack hugely in terms of just having a bit of control of the game.How you doing fella?
Good to see a calm head arrive on the forum amongst the madness.
%^*& up mate
How did we get to the top in the first place?
If there was a mentality question, would it not have been apparent in the game that got us to the top?
If not, would it be worth considering as a defence to your assertion?
