Well, it's always good if you win when you come back.
That's the biggest thing, because everybody will criticise you if you don't.
And that's always been the case with football clubs.
And I'm a great believer, especially with the weather we have back here, getting a bit of sun in your back, being able to train, guarantee, instead of people keeping them warm, really, sometimes in the training ground, and especially Hearts' training ground, it's wide open as well up there.
So you can imagine Derek Tate, and listen, they've deserved it.
But the big thing is now, what you're going to see with Hearts is the thing I've spoke about all along.
They're going to be under more pressure playing a Falkirk and a Livingston in the next few games because they're expected to win both.
Because if the game's going a little bit of time without Hearts being in front,
I can imagine what their supporters are going to be like.
And there they be things that come, and obviously I think, because I heard them in the cup game against Falkirk, they were getting a little bit of criticism, Falkirk come back in, where Hearts had dominated the first half, Falkirk come in and all of a sudden went, and then all of a sudden you could just sense, and then they get beaten penalty kicks.
This is the thing that they will have to deal with because they've not won in the last two weeks, they've not won.
So all of a sudden they start to come, Rangers are close now, Celtic are close now,
That's a different pressure you're playing under.
And it's so difficult, Paul.
When you were there and buried people round about him, he was one of us, he was one of us himself.
I had people round about me, he'd be one of us, like Danny McGrain's and Roy Aikens and all that, Tommy Burnsy's.
All these guys were there, they'd been over the course.
But you know, you can feel the nervousness in them.
But what I'm saying is now, because the supporters are going to think, right, we've got two brilliant games, Falkirk and Livingston, we couldn't ask for any more.
Obviously, Rangers gave them a bit of a turnover, I thought last week.
