If you think he had anything to do with us losing to Hibs or Celtic, then you weren’t at those games. Also slagging the boy for trying to take one for the team shows how much of a slavering dick you’re being.

The whole team were thoroughly pumped against Celtic and Hibs, Clare had improved against his own very bad standards, but we were taken to the cleaners by Celtic and Hibs. Clare then followed up these improvements with a very good game against Aberdeen, but you can check back in the match thread before the resultant goal from the free kick, that I said it was the wrong decision for Clare to haul the player down.


He's made quite a few individual errors in that area of the field historically (either tracking back as a right midfielder or in right back), so I think 2na is right to say time will tell if he can cut out the moments of inexperience against the better teams in the league. His overall performances have recently been good, and if he can continue to learn the right back position then he'll be an asset to us (about time, because we've paid decent wage for two years and received consistently brutal performances in return).

As I said previously in this thread. I've realised that it was impossible for many of these players to play at SPFL level because they were being trained as part-time amateurs. Now that he is being trained by a professional, I have high hopes for him and I feel bad for giving him such a hard time.

Being Levein's golden boy while putting in consistently shocking performances was not going to play well with the majority of Hearts fans. Everyone gets a clean slate under Stendel and it looks like Clare is going to do well, after initially being hooked early doors by Stendel for invisible man performances in his first couple of games.

Yawn. 

Boy makes massive strides to improve his game and there’s always one who’s more interested in being right than recognising the improvements in his game.

Eck. My post literally says that he has made improvements to his game. Woy Not Sure

I know you're a wee simple, pokemon guy but at least read my post when I have the courtesy to constructively reply to you after calling me "a slavering dick!"

Sorry mate, but I got as far as Begbie calling you out for talking shite before deciding your post wasn’t really worth reading through. Seems you’ve a history of contradicting yourself.

We were hardly taken to the cleaners by Hibs. Two shocking defensive errors and clare wasn't to blame for either.

Absolutely delighted for the guy as he always had ability, amazing to see how stendel is transforming him.

No more than anyone else I would say. I thought Mulraney had potential, but turns out he's a waster. Also posted here that I thought Keena had a real chance at Hearts, but Stendel has deemed him not good enough. Clare has proven me wrong on here too and happy to admit that.

Is that contradicting yourself? Wait, I've just realised you maybe don't know what contradicting means. Eek

I think he could go on to be a fans favourite. The Hibs game is when he started to show signs of making it in the first eleven at Hearts.

Would probably still trust Smith ahead of Clare at RB in the big games though. I'm also even more delighted with how Brandon has been performing. It's a shame he got injured, but great to see competition for places between Brandon and Clare at RB and will be interesting to see who has improved the most. I get the feeling Stendel initially preferred Brandon, but Clare is playing his way into Stendel's plans and Clare has more quality going forward.

Eck - literally the sentence before the one you quoted I said that Clare improved against Hibs.  Monty Ha

The other post you said that I can't admit that Clare had made improvements, even though I literally word for word said he that had improved in the post you "yawned" at.


Are you feeling alright?

Your first post on the matter literally tried to argue my point about him playing well against Hibs. 

When you flip flop like that, don’t be surprised when people switch off.

Fuck sake.

We'll do this one last time.

2na said that Clare still has a little bit to prove himself against the stronger teams, which I agreed with. You didn't like hearing it. Clare has improved in the last few games, although personally I'd still be worried about lapses of concentration in the right back position against the better teams (you obviously class Hibs as that, mind).

However, I'm pretty confident he'll push on further, and eventually learn the position with more exposure. Hopefully Brandon can push him hard for the RB slot, too.
