Kmcalpin Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Andy Halliday is a doubt for the game. Is it just me or does he always seem to have injury/fitness problems? Would a good pre season solve them at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a feeling he has enough professional pride to know whether his legs have gone at this level or not, and act accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully he'll just do it anyway and apologise afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a good pre season solve them at all? I'm not one to buy into requiring a good pre-season argument unless a player missed it, but Halliday had a pre-season with Hearts last year. His stats from the first half of this season show that he was mainly either 'on the bench' or 'not in squad', which begs the question of why did SK think he was worth bringing in on loan then, and his performances since joining on loan haven't been great. It's clear to me that he's finished at this level and his signing for next season raises more questions than it does inspire hope. Maybe he'll step back or focus on coaching or become Obika 2.0. Who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forgive him for missing the sitter against Brazil! (Although, the first Scotland strip I got as a kid had his number on it, because he was my favourite player). Even the greatest teams need balance in the midfield. Probably the best I have seen was in the French squad of Tigana, Giresse, Fernandez and (the disgraced) Platini - nicknamed The Magic Square. Fernandez was the defensive ball winner. Tigana was the box-to-box. Giresse was a ball player and Platini was as good at scoring goals as he was at taking backhanders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why we signed him in the first place,he was available and it would have been a fairly easy deal to get done and it was another body in the door at a time when we were needing it but having committed to have him here next season is a mistake for me,he looks done at this level.hes in his 30s,not played a great deal this season and picking up injuries,all he needs is a good pre season isn't the answer.

A cracking midfield that was, disgrace they were cheated in 1982 v Germany. Midfield almost as good as Cooper....Griffin...O'Donnell and Angus COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too can see why we gave him a try when he became available. But he has shown little to convince anyone. Are we absolutely positive we are tied into him for next season? Could there have been some sort of 'prove yourself' agreement which would explain why he has been featuring ahead of others, even if only for the first half? I think he cannot sign permanently until his Hearts contract actually expires .There is a huge difference between an option to sign and a firm contract. I ask in hope and on reading the media quoting today that he is on loan to season end with no mention of any fixed agreement for next season.

On the official site it says he's on a 6th month loan and will become a permanent player in the summer on a one year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping we can get out of any verbal agreement we have given. Pretty sure he cannot have signed a permanent deal whilst still contracted to Hearts. No offence to him. but he has hardly proven his worth so far. Also the Club did not say we had entered into a formal PCA as per Spittal to Hearts. So I'm hoping it is a gentleman's agreement but linked to performance and fitness. Much rather stick with Slattery😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I’m ok keeping Halliday for a year although I think he performs better coming on as a sub rather than a starting player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith Dave, personally I think we will pump them St J are brutal, Levein has made them worse since he took over. They're heading for the playoff, but I would expect them to get past Raith rover ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throughthelaces Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 For me it’s the first time I’m getting to our final league game of the season since 2017 so I’m looking forward to the novelty. I do hope however we get a nice win to send us home happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
