@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov He overturned an 8 point gap and now has made back 5 of those 6 points in a separate spell while missing 2 of our best players and our 2nd best Center half if they never got injured we’d be out of sight by now

@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov How is it like saying that?
It would be like saying you haven't beat Martin O'Neills Celtic - which to this point would be true.
Martin O'Neill if he wins the league will need to have picked up 14 points on Hearts because of other peoples failings. Thats a fact.
English
That is a huge blow for Hearts, and obviously both players.
Halkett especially been in the form of his life this season, he will be a massive loss.
Celtic obviously have missed big players for most of the season too but they have, or should have anyway, the resources and squad size to cope with that a lot better than Hearts have.
Devlin hopefully fit enough and certainly more than good enough to replace Leonard but Kent a bit of a downgrade on Halkett?

🗣️ ‘Both Achilles ruptures, significant injuries, both will be out from seven to nine months.’ ❤️ Hearts manager Derek McInnes confirms long-term injury blows for Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard. 🥶 How big a miss will they be for these final two games?

@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov 14 but the point you’re trying to make is irrelevant that’s like saying we’ve not beat celtic this season because 1 was against Nancy and 1 was against Rodgers your point like that one I just said was irrelevant
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov Okay let’s play your game the answer to your question earlier was no that’s not how it works, shin Yamada played 8 league games not 10, I say 10 games because of the players you listed minus Tounekti, Sinisalo 10 league games, Kenny 15 and Donovan 14
English
@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov You were asked a yes or no question. It's simple.
I listed 4 players who replaced injured players. You've tried to change the goalposts.
You want me to start listing players like Shin Yamada who played more than 10 games for us? ffs
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov How have I been “clamped” I didn’t reply because the other guy replied already Or should I just say the same thing as the other guy saidUnrelated point” it’s exactly what you said you listed 4 players who wouldn’t get into our team I just listed 9 who wouldn’t get into your team
English
@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov Look at you thinking you can run away when youve been clamped and jump back in with another unrelated point. That's no how it works.
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov Now let’s do hearts how many of these players get into Celtics starting team who have played over 10 games this season?
Steinwender, Kent, A.Forrest, McCart, Spittal, Kabangu, McEntee, Magnusson, Kabore?
English
@SJM_38 @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov Doubt Hearts or Rangers would have Tounekti in their first 11.
They certainly wouldn't have Ralston/Donovan or Kenny. It's unlikely they'd take Sinisalo.
Thats another 3 who have had to play significant minutes because of injuries to key players.
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov Brilliant was 6 then 12 then 14 now more like 15 yous are a special breed like
English
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov You do realise hearts were never ahead of Celtic by 12 points? Most was ever 9
English
@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov 8 points under Rodgers
6 points under Nancy
O'Neill has had to be 13 points better than Hearts combined throughout his two spells to have any chance of winning the league.
English
@SJM_38 @Hoidy @pieandbov Can’t believe I’m living in a fairytale where Celtic might win the league this is definitely an underdog story for the kids 🤣🤣
English
@Hoidy @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov Because it's a piece of piss.
Market value of Celtic = 144.8m
Market value of Hearts = 27.85m
Celtic turned down a bid of 25m for one player in January that has played constantly since then.
6 (3) points overhauled.
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov Even if we say 6 points behind, thinking you’re the underdogs in a fairytale story with the money yous spend and the wages yous pay it’s honestly laughable
English
@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov Is this really what you want to argue about? 😂
You are right. But Hearts won their game in hand. He had to claw back 6 points because of someone else's doing.
It doesnt matter how we get to this point - it's a fact.
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov The point was when he took back over yous were 3 points behind? With a game in hand or not was the game in hand played after he was back yes or no?
English
@Ciaran_Marr @SJM_38 @pieandbov We were 6 points behind Hearts when he came back in.
We were 8 behind the first time, he got it down to 0 with us having a game in hand.
Came back in 6 behind and has got it to 1.
English
@Hoidy @SJM_38 @pieandbov Celtic were 3 points behind Hearts when MON took back over from Nancy what a fairytale, a true underdog story 🥴
English
@SJM_38 @pieandbov 3/4's of teams in the league aren't competing for the title.
8 weeks ago no one had Celtic in the top 2.
The fairytale isnt "Celtic winning the league". The fairytale would be winning it from the position we were in.
English
@HMFCFAN07 Haven’t seen anything but they’d be silly not to have it there since we can win it, I imagine the club will have everything sorted for if we can win it and then have backups for Saturday
English
@rfcrossco @HMFCFAN07 @RangersTalk72 People said the same thing about Brighton and USG and look at them now, not to mention our record signing has barely kicked a ball and Mato has played something like 16 minutes over 3 games, this is only the beginning of a 10 year plan
English
@Ciaran_Marr @HMFCFAN07 @RangersTalk72 Also my point is more that clubs in those lesser leagues will be aware of the data and you won’t be getting braga type players for £400k again when they know they can get better value like Rangers spending £5m on naderi
English
Derek McInnes has to be Rangers manager this summer.
Don’t give me the crap “why would he leave Hearts” Hearts need a hell lot of improvement to do this again which they won’t.
English
@rfcrossco @HMFCFAN07 @RangersTalk72 Acting like 5m is a steal, 5m your expected to come in and perform straight away and he’s been bang average, 450k for braga the player of the year from the Norwegian second tier I can list players anaw it doesn’t prove anything
English
@Ciaran_Marr @HMFCFAN07 @RangersTalk72 Mostly yes, although guys like Chermiti Fernandez Rommens Naderi will all make us a fortune in the future
JTA is good and its gona give yous an advantage but other clubs are gona invest in data driven recruitment and its gona make it harder
Naderi was £5m from german 3rd tier
English
English
@HMFCFAN07 @RangersTalk72 You’re forgetting Rangers are owned by millionaires and have the financial muscle to spend £30/40m 🤣
We are a shit show but the americans took over a shit show and was never gona be a quick fix, if mcinnes was given that budget and assurances he walks to glasgow
English
@NathanWestley @Brightonian_ Exactly this is the only system where I’m confident of being able to replace players so well like Brighton and USG have done for years not every signing will be a success but JTA has a proven track record of the majority being successful
English
@Ciaran_Marr @Brightonian_ You can also console yourselves with the knowledge that the money will be reinvested back into the squad.
You know the algorithm works and they’ll more than likely find an equal or better player will arrive.
It’s something us Brighton fans know well. USG fans will know too.
English
Congrats to Claudio Braga on being PFA Scotland’s Premiership player of the year 2026 🏆
What an incredible signing he’s been for #HMFC.
Classic Tony Bloom / StarLizard Talent ID.
Will be interesting what the future holds for Braga.
PFA Scotland@PFAScotland
A phenomenal season for Claudio Braga 🇵🇹 Signed in the summer from Aalesunds in the Norwegian second tier, the Portuguese quickly became a fan favourite at Tynecastle. Braga has been recognised as the Premiership's best player across this season - voted by his peers as PFA Scotland Premiership Player of the Year. With four huge games left for Hearts, Braga has the opportunity to create more history, after becoming only the second Hearts player to win this award. As voted by the players, Claudio Braga is Scotland's best.
English
@NathanWestley @Brightonian_ We know he’s away in the summer he’s too good for Scotland, only hope we’ve got of keeping him is if we win the league and are in Champions league playoffs, if he does go though I hope he goes and does well as I’m sure all other hearts fans do
English
@Brightonian_ We’re one that’s been / being linked, so…
Might get some Hearts fans backs up if that happened though.
English
@barryjflack @siwypod Celtic fans greet about the Billy boys but happily sing about the IRA have a day off man
English
@siwypod Of course you don’t.
Why would the typically racist ‘being up to your knees in fenian blood’ song about a fascist thug offend the hearts support.
English
Derek McInnes has stood on the pitch at Tynie singing the Hearts song this season. That's all that matters. Couldn't give less of a fuck what occurred 20+ years ago 👍
