Brilliant today.

A million miles from the hollow shell he was under Levein.

I was wrong about him. I thought he was a cowardly bum.

He was just playing under a shit manager who couldn't motivate a junkie to shoot up.

I'm not sure if we are playing him in the right position, but I love the upturn in his form.

He's stepped up to the plate big time.

He runs the show from right back, excellent at carrying the ball forward. Hopefully with a bit of confidence and toughening up he can do similar from a central position

And what a fucking strike Arry

Technique for the goal was tremendous. I'm glad his celebration included the fans as I think he gets that we are wanting to support him. Overall a really good game and our best performer under Stendel.

Well impressed with him today, always said there was a player in there. Monty Chuckle

Took his goal really well and has improved massively since Levein got emptied and Stendel came in.

I didn't think he was shite, I thought he was a waste of space. Poor concentration, lazy, didn't get back into position, slack, tried little flicks ignoring the basics.

Somehow I underestimated my own low standards of the Levein regime, I think every player were lambs to the slaughter under MacPhee and Daly's tutolage. I have to apologise to quite a few players that I thought had no business being at Hearts. They were being trained genuinely worse than an East of Scotland team, you can't expect players like Clare to perform under these conditions.

He was superb today and is able to keep his game simple playing on the touchline. He wasn't tested defensively today like he would against premiership sides, but even if he makes mistakes in the future, I know he is putting a shift in so I won't be ripping into him if he has a bad game.

Beats, you didn't back him, I'm afraid. You despised him and wanted him out also. I remember it well. Be a man like Myself and Toast and admit when you call it wrong.

Is he suspended for County?

Aye he will be suspended, assume they’ll play Brandon

I always said he got a harder time than he deserved. Certainly there were multiple players who were worse, lazier, whatever than Clare and never got anywhere near the stick. Glad the crowd seems to have swung so heavily.

Still not sure if he has the ability to make it at Hearts long term, he's got some great attributes at right back but needs to be tested by a real team to see how he is going to be defensively.

Nah, I had Clare down as one of the worst and probably the most glaiket of them all.

He just wasn't able to get up to speed. Due to the state of our club. He arrived injured didn't he?

Did Stendel not hook him at half time in his first game? Then he had to fill in at right back at some stage and got it together. He could've been wrongly judged as shite and out on his arse like Berra and Whelan if the cards didn't fall for him.

I honestly really like him driving from deep, hope he keeps it up.

Watching his goal on sportscene, it's apparent that lethargic is just his style. It's just that he looked lethargic and shit back in the day, and now he's lethargic but can put his laces through a ball.

You fall for anything man. He’s shite, doesn’t matter what the travel agent and cunty Levein says about his running stats.

Use your eyes, he is not Hearts quality.

You could find a load of posts where I said that he’s got ability but never a pro footballer. I stand by he performed shite for nearly all his Hearts career. We’ve all contradicted ourselves on players during and after matches.  I think you said the same about Meshino but I’m sure you’ve changed your tune from 5’s player to someone who could do a job for us.

I’m one for saying when I got it wrong though.

They’ll be folk who would dig their heels in. I was consistent in saying he was a flop but happy to admit I’m wrong. Beats backed him then turned on him now backing him again. I like my posters to show a bit of backbone rather than doing a Lawson impression.

I'm sure I saw every game? What was the scores then, maybe I missed some goals?
