bighusref Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The poster named after the wee Argentinian dude in your avatar will moan at me (again) but it's always a greet at Back From The Brink. Ha! Wrong thread, ol' Musemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 How is she an Unofficial ambassador' for hearts. She just wears a maroon wristband ffs. congratulations on her achievement last night but the 5-1 is embarrassing. Someone in the crowd signalled 5-1 which she duly returned. She wears a wristband in support of her team, nothing more. She's been hugely successful for her country and has been regarded as a poster girl. With success comes attention and interest. She's not running up to the cameras doing 5-1, she's being asked about her interests and the relevance of the wristband etc amongst other things. Personally I think she's done it with grace and come over really well. Would you rather she didn't wear the wristband and dodge any questions about her personal interests?

William H. Bonney Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I just thought as an athlete representing Scotland she should have been more professional. I understand her unquestionable passion for hearts but perhaps not all of her supporters share her passion. My point being there is a time and place for doing the 5-1 and i don't believe that was it. i await more personal abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 No abuse from me mate. My guess is if you'd originally responded with the above comment then people might have been more understanding, possibly some in agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 A fair comment and observation Rudolf Had she done it going over the line then I'd have been in agreement with you. I actually feared she might however I think she is actually too good a professional to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djf Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Any action that pushes the 19th of May to prominence deserves to be applauded by all right minded Hearts fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, only true Hertz men understand the significance of Eilidh doing the 5-1, in fact the term "never let them forget" is the motto of true Hertz men, oh and its a YES from me.

DETTY29 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I just thought as an athlete representing Scotland she should have been more professional. I understand her unquestionable passion for hearts but perhaps not all of her supporters share her passion. My point being there is a time and place for doing the 5-1 and i don't believe that was it. i await more personal abuse. So a young laddie (who apparently was Ann Budge's first (youth) player signing at Hearts) asked her to do the 5.1, and for a moment she obliged. It wasn't even the main cameras that caught her but his dad's photo that went viral, and she's now unprofessional. It's not as if she jumped over every hurdle doing the 5.1 which denied her the chance of beating the world number 1 hurdler. And if gets Claire Balding in on the act, then that's good enough for me.
