George Burley resigns as Hearts manager today

Richie Carlin · 22nd October 2005, 01:34 PM

Surprising to hear. Any Hearts fans here? What do you think?

TNF · 22nd October 2005, 01:51 PM

He had the team working great as well!

Richie Carlin · 22nd October 2005, 03:54 PM

Oooooooh, the plot thickens. Apparently Pressley got himself sent off on purpose (or so the radio commentators are implying) and Hartley and Skacel took off their tops at the end of the game to reveal t-shirts saying: "for the gaffer".

And ofcourse the speculation is rife, with them now linking Burley with the Rangers.

Sorry I got that Pressley story wrong. Hartley asked to be substituted, Pressley did not want to be sent off (I don't think). Whoops.

ArchFlameTera · 22nd October 2005, 06:25 PM

maybe he caught Romanov in bed with his wife?

Keerin · 22nd October 2005, 06:45 PM

it was irrepressabe (i think thats the right word) differences and it was apparently mutual too. good news for the old firm, bad news for hearts.

i would have like to seen him stay though. would have made for an interesting season.

Note the Jambos didn't thank Burley in the official statement. Shady as fuck.

Keerin · 22nd October 2005, 07:16 PM

maybe they went a bit too far...

"right george, we're signing this lithuanian, we would like to see him playing next week"

"eh, Mr Romanov, thats a goat..."

haha i ain't a hearts fan but i would love to see them get the title, if not second place, but i don't know if they can keep it up without burley. the morale will be down and i don't see them keeping it up unfortunatley

It's probably the most bizarre sacking Scottish football has ever seen. I'd take Burley at Ibrox in a second- a guaranteed SPL title!

Shawman · 25th October 2005, 11:25 AM

but the spl needs someone apart from the old firm to win

skankmaster · 25th October 2005, 07:40 PM

i for one would love to see hearts win the title or at least break the old firm's hold on scottish football (and i am caley fan)........as it would make the spl well better! don't you people remember that before burley was manager romanov kept on saying he will hire a big manager he then went and got burley..who to say that he won't be able to get another top-class manager?? i fore one believe that if hearts get another decent manager then they will still have a great chance of staying in first postion!!!

I was at the Celtic game last night, and we are the team to beat this season at this point!

We have improved a great deal since the start of the season -as last night's result proved- and I think we have a good chance of winning the league and beating Hearts the next time we meet. I mean, I think we were the better side when we met Hearts for that 1-1 draw anyway, sloppy goal to lose, although they are a great side this season.

Last night our passing game was first class, and all the goals were worked well and of a high standard. And although he wasn't tested last night (not really tested) Boruc is the best keeper we've had in a long time.

Only time will tell though. Ofcourse being a Celtic man, I am biased in my views

.

Rangers do look terrible right now though, you can't deny that no matter who you support

Keerin · 27th October 2005, 05:11 PM

its true. its as if someone has bribed them to lose or something.

on paper they are no a bad team. just can't seem to gel properly.
