Craig Levein has won fook all as a player or as a manager

he put out some of the worst Scotland sides I've ever seen

he seems to have came forward these days and started giving his opinion on everything

Ultimately his wee wind ups last year won him a few fans.

Fvck Levein

4-6-0 ended any respect he has in the game outside of Hearts

He is the management equivalent of Chris Sutton’s punditry. Deliberately antagonistic and widely disliked

I was reading a match report in the season we got to Seville, we lost 2-1 at Tynecastle which IMO cost us the league

and in the match report on the BBC website it said

'the first 20 minutes were fairly quiet, both sides failed to create a chance and they'd be more remembered for the over aggressive tackling by the home side'

some things never change with Hearts

Hearts have had some really good teams over the years - at other times not so good. They have always been a very physical team though.

Don’t think it’s the kind of thing that should be getting aired publicly. Sure it was Zach that said this seems to be Levein’s last hurrah, and he’s just saying whatever he feels like saying. This kinda backs that up.

Ah yes... another day another of NNH’s tedious sharticles comprising of 95% copy and paste from the Daily Record.

It was from the Scottish sun.

If you would be so kind to point out the previous 7 days of Daily record copy and paste's I'd be eternally grateful.

Perhaps someone is trying to copy you Esc and create another account for me

He's no Liam Cooper. Should be due a Scotland call soon.

Heard a few things about that boy but haven't really seen him play Lubo.

Captain of the team top of the championship. Good in the air and with the ball at his feet likes to play it out from the back. Not afraid to get stuck in.

And would maintain the proud link between Scotland and Leeds United.

Let me get this right.

It’s now ok for managers to talk about other teams and their tactics again yes?

Just so we’re clear. 👍

But Rodgers goes out of his way to say he never ever talks about other teams and their players, then quickly at every opportunity does just that

Big difference I'm sure even you could spot that with those damn blinkers of yours

So it only applies to Rodgers.. gotcha

Not entirely sure why United bothered with that statement. Absolutely unnecessary.

Did we ruin Souttar? No. However, I think he moved at the right time because he was not progressing with us and I think there were a variety of factors behind that.

One of those was the attitude of the player, who didn't seem to want to work hard on his game and wasn't progressing as he should have been.

However, this was coupled with what was generally accepted to be horrendous training practices at the club. Jackie and his staff basically let them do what they want and this is a big part of why Souttar failed to progress - he wasn't being drilled by a coaching team that was committed to helping him become the best player that he could be. He was allowed to swan around doing whatever and it showed in his performances and lack of fitness - something he himself alluded to shortly after he joined Hearts, where he talked about how hard they were worked in training compared to at United.

I should also mention the fans in this, who used to get on his back early and often, which obviously didn't help.

So no, we didn't ruin him, but we certainly didn't create an environment to allow him to progress as he should have.
