Let's talk about Barrie McKay.He's not the type to exaggerate, so it's time for someone else to do it for him. For me, McKay is the best player in the country, he won't play for Rangers or Celtic, but he easily has the qualities to play for one of the big two.
But just because he quietly goes about his business and doesn't make headlines, he never seems to be in the conversation when Scottish convocation is being considered. Next month, the national team will play his three matches. I hope Steve Clarke sees what I see every time I see his Barrie.
If so, he must be on that team. Because despite having good players from midfield to the front line, there are few players who can open the defense with passes and runs like him. He's been great against Hibs over the weekend, but the last 18 months have been great, so it's time for his talent to be recognized.
I have a lot of experience. He burst onto the scene as a child with Rangers after spending most of his career playing near the top of the British Championship. He has one cap, but with his talent there should be more. Scotland and Hearts could be the beneficiaries if the partnerships he formed soon after with Lawrence He Shankland were successful.
They seem to be on the same wavelength. The ball Barry played on goal and Lawrence's touch and finish were all outstanding. That's what sets Hearts apart from the rest, with the exception of his two I feel are big. they have that quality.
I don't think many Scottish players could see that pass and execute it like McKay. It's like a sixth sense when you understand with a player. You know where the player is going without even thinking about it.
Shankland and McKay have only played two games together so far this season, but the partnership shows that things are going well. They created three or four good chances for each other over the weekend.
The most important thing for Hearts is to be strong, fit and injury free. The players would have been upset that the goal was lost on the final ball kick at Easter Road.
In injury time he could sense Hibs was throwing everything as Hearts didn't put them away, only 1-0 but trailing teams always hope
That must have been very frustrating for Robbie. Hearts missed chances and should have been out of sight, but the game never ended as only Shankland's goal showed the upper hand.
It may have felt like a defeat at the time, but things settled down and in the big picture, Hearts scored a point from a tough game away from home.
They Out of 6 having 4. Their new signing is on track and European football is just around the corner. In that sense, his 1-1 draw at Easter Road is nothing to worry about. But what worried me was seeing Alex Cochrane being tossed with coins, lighters, and even chips. It happened when Rudy Scacel threw a lighter at him from that very part of the ground at a derby game on Easter Road that I attended.
That happened years ago. It's also an area where Tavernier got into a bit of trouble from his Hibs fans. So it wasn't a big surprise that it happened again. I assumed that the authorities would have had sufficient control and enforcement on that part, as they had experienced this kind of behavior before.
I think it's plain wrong, but players often almost shrug their shoulders. Even from the referees there is a kind of "let's just try" mentality. But on second thought, such behavior is unacceptable.
If someone comes to your office and throws a lighter or a coin, do you stand there and take it? They are expected to continue playing as if nothing happened.
I love football, but that's the only thing I don't like. You don't see that kind of behavior in any other sport. For some reason, it makes me sick to think that it's acceptable for people to throw things at football players. time.
Friendly banter is great. I don't care if people call me trash or joke that I'm jumbo, but some of the things that are said. mosquito.
Hibs should take strong action if the culprit is identified. But they should also ask themselves why that section wasn't policed better.
