Charlie-Brown Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Jesus Christ this is like a McCarthy-ite witch hunt: "Have you at any any time been p*shed, watched Hearts play sh*te, get beat and then get nostalgiac for the good old days..." Of course...but you chose the worng team / wrong venue / wrong group of players as one of their heaviest defeats & regular defeats occured at Falkirk away......

Bring a decent manager in. Also, the fact that we suffered such a defeat was enough for the board to do something about it. But your right, now its much better...

Aye, alright, think the lads had hard enough time on this thread without you weighing in. Great, you're right, give yourself a medal. Small man.

MacDonald Jardine Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It was a p*sh season but Clarlks record once he got his team playing for him was very good. Then the Hamster was brought in and that was another crap season. Though as usual Hearts fans have selective memories, some of the results that season were not bad but the fact was Hearts fans just did not like the wee turd. Dont blame them. Not exactly "steadying the ship" though was it? He took us into the mire (although I tend to blame the players too) then got us out. Selective memories is right.

Jamboy81 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'd like to direct this at HoG as well. Champions League had nothing to do with the original argument. It was that losing to Falkirk twice in a season was a massive, 'unprecedented' thing to have happen to us. I pointed out a much better Hearts side had failed to register a home win against some dross in 1999/00. Don't see your point. Remember our aims were - and we haven't been told any different so we must assume still are - to be a major force in the SPL and in the Champions League as well. In that context I would say losing twice to a bottom 6 club in unacceptable, no matter how bad we've been in the past. It may have been acceptable when we were rubbish and cash strapped but now that we're striving for the big time I don't think we should be satified with mediocrity.

I don't disagree but the whole point in the OP was how bad we are now compared to these glory days. It's now become how relatively bad we are because of the money we spend.

A bit embarrassing how you keep it going. Cant you spend more of your energy in trying to keep up pressure on your mate Vlad to get us a real manager? And anyway, you will note if you read my OP, I said can you imagine those players "playing" like that? And to be more pedantic, I could have meant "the Glorious vision that is Hearts under Vladimir Romanov's tutelage lose two away games to Falkirk, Unprecedented!"

Commander Harris Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 oh for goodness sake! people who are disagreeing with the OP are doing so soley on a point of fact - the OP suggested it was unprecedented - it turned out it wasn't. don't think anyone is suggesting everything is wonderful or that hearts shouldn't be doing better against a team like falkirk. FWIW - i found it blooming funny when TC made his post as it was such a glorious contradiction of the original statement, but I couldn't really care who is right or wrong here.

It may have been acceptable when we were rubbish and cash strapped but now that we're striving for the big time I don't think we should be satified with mediocrity. Never said it was unacceptable. I was merely saying to the OP that he was over the top and better Hearts teams have bee just as bad against worse teams than this. In fact I'm sure I stated in my first post that there were problems but to highlight two defeats to Falkirk was missing the point a little. I saw it as moaning for the sake of it and therefore posting what I did. There are much bigger problems at this club than our away record at The Falkirk Stadium, I think it's better to complain about what is really relevant rather than complaining about every negative aspect.

Ben Dover Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Last night was worse than even that season produced. At least back then, we had players with fight for all they were dross. Incomparable. Not sure what the original point was on this thread but I just cant accept people disecting the current shambles and propping up their views with misty memories of 'the glory days' I consider myself a fairly 'good Jambo and yet, over 35+ years, I've been driven to toss three scarves away having witnessed these guys supposedly dying for the jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
