the saline hill puma Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 not really much of a surprise. Was talking to a few folk about him after the game, and it could be that like John Potter, he is a really good coach but not cut out for management.

Fifes Elite Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 There doesn't seem to be a clear favourite. The guys who are tried and tested such as Wright and Houston might want complete control over football matters. Hartley is linked but would they appointing a manager let go by what they deem as a smaller club? Stephen pressely seems to divide opinion. Mcphee could be a shout seems, highly regarded but was cathro assistant so I don't know how the fans will like that. Then there's the coach's still there such as Daly and Kirk.

Teuchter Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hopefully he can relax a bit now. He has looked like someone dealing with inner turmoil for months now - the above photo being a case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifes Elite Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Btw if they hadn't lost the pen against peterhead would they have been through with a draw v us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchter Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Btw if they hadn't lost the pen against peterhead would they have been through with a draw v us?I think a draw against Peterhead would have still put pressure on him. Even if the had got through I think it would have been viewed by many Jambos as a stay of execution, barring a miraculous change in results.He has struggled in all of his cup ties against lower league opposition, even last season. His responses in the media to these results didn't help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguinePar Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Btw if they hadn't lost the pen against peterhead would they have been through with a draw v us?Here's the table as it stood after that game.Had it finished as a draw, Hearts would have had either 7 or 8 points and Peterhead either 5 or 4.With the latter It would have been over for Peterhead. With the former, their win would have brought them to 8 points, so Hearts' draw with us would have been enough to go through. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanza Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Btw if they hadn't lost the pen against peterhead would they have been through with a draw v us?Here's the table as it stood after that game.Had it finished as a draw, Hearts would have had either 7 or 8 points and Peterhead either 5 or 4.With the latter It would have been over for Peterhead. With the former, their win would have brought them to 8 points, so Hearts' draw with us would have been enough to go through. I think.Hmmm ..... I don't think that's right.If the Peterhead/Hearts match had ended in a draw then it would have gone to a penalty shoot-out for the bonus point, and Hearts would had either 7 or 8 points, as SP says.However, Hearts only picked up 1 point from their match with DAFC, so they would have finished the section with either 8 or 9 points. 8 points would have seen them eliminated on points, while with 9 points they would have had a GD of only +4. The four section runners-up who went through to the next round were Dundee, Ross County and Partick Thistle (all with 10 pts), and Kilmarnock (9 pts, GD +6).So, if the Peterhead/Hearts match had ended in a draw, for Hearts to progress they would have had to win both penalty shoot-outs (Peterhead and DAFC), which would have given them 10 points and won the section, with DAFC having 9 points (GD +10) pipping Killie for the final spot in the next round. Alternatively, if they had lost the penalty shoot-out to Peterhead and then beaten Dunfermline they would again have had 10 points and won the section - Pars and Peterhead would both have been eliminated, with only 8 points.

I was forgetting that not all 2nd place teams qualified. Probably because we won the group and I don't bother with those who are beneath us... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good if got the job and then adopted a Scottish accent, in the same way that he took on a Dutch one in the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Deadpool Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Steve McLaren would be a great appointment for Hearts. Surely folk don't think otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
