Francis Albert Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I heard Pardew in an interview before the game admitting they didn't need to win the game because they were almost certainly safe anyway. Yet they went out and fought every inch of the way for a win against a bunch of (overpaid) superstars. Compare and contrast our surrender to a bunch of (overpaid) has-beens and journeymen.

Jambos_1874 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 They should watch a rerun and be told that is what is expected of a team playing in a game where there is nothing much at stake. They will no doubt watch a rerun and I'm sure RN/CL will make them fully aware of what is expected of them, if they weren't already. I was at Ibrox on Sunday and it was disappointing to see the team underperform badly and even more disappointing having to put up with endless Huns claiming that they would have won the Champions League, World Cup, Ryder Cup, Davis Cup and any other trophy going if McCall had been in charge from the first day of the season. It was a bad day at the office, nothing more. Slating the players in this way is just utterly rididculous and grossly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleJambo Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 My son and I are season ticket holders at Palace and were there last night. Not sure you can compare Hearts with Palace. Two totally different teams (with different levels of funding!) and totally different seasons. We've only seen 5 home wins all season and some pretty awful games at times. Good result last night but it was backs to the wall for most of the game. I would love to have watched Hearts this season with their results and performances. You lads don't know how lucky you are! I pledge to FOH but would love to have a season ticket for Tynie as well! The one thing I would say is about the support - great atmosphere last night and for most of the games this season.

The Treasurer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 FA has plunged new depths even by his standards. I came out of Ibrox on Sunday disappointed with as poor a performance as we've produced all season, but realising that we can't be great every week. I came on here yesterday and half the "experts" want an entire new team because the players that have run away with the league are "not good enough" And now this morning yet another "expert" is saying we surrendered and should be trying to use Crystal fecking Palace as the goal we should be aiming for just because they hung on to beat a clearly out of sorts Citeh (for only their 5th home win of the season) FA, stick to making negative comments about FoH because your football comments are even more laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is more down to whether you feel the thread is breaking forum rules (i.e. trolling), which I believe it is. Trying to compare our position to that of Palace's is like trying to compare chalk and cheese. Palace will pocket millions more for finishing a few places higher in the league. Palace have players who are undoubtedly on ?30/40k+ per week. Palace have players that have been bought and sold for tens of millions of pounds. We have a squad of youngsters trying to make there way in the game, coupled with a few older guys who, in the grand scheme of football, are probably considered journeymen. They are probably on ?1-2k a week if they are lucky. They've won the league and will get nothing more (other than a bit of pride) for winning any other games this season. Trying to compare the two games is utterly ludicrous but FA was well aware of that before he started the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to compare the two games is utterly ludicrous but FA was well aware of that before he started the thread. With other people i'd say there's a chance it could be trolling. I don't think that's the case with FA, however. Part of what I was talking about earlier is the automatic assumption that any unpopular view is just trolling. Even then, it creates an unhealthy atmosphere if people are calling for members to be silenced and it's not the way to report suspected rule breaches. They should do as you've done and argue against the points made, and fwiw I agree with the points you've made. What people shouldn't do, if they think someone is trolling, is engage with the troll. Although, i should also add that lots of people have overlooked the fact that palace are still underdogs in their league. Citing that they pay their players tens of thousands of pounds a week means little when several other clubs pay their players hundreds of thousands of pounds a week. In our respective leagues, we are closer to the man cities of the scottish championship than we are the crystal palaces. However, that's just one measure of how ourselves and palace are doing, and is pretty much where any decent analogy ends, as you explain well.

Mcalford Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You get more money the higher up the league you finish, in our case we cant go any higher, Palace can and im sure the players are aware of that.

gowestjambo Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Nothing wrong with the analogy FA makes. For years we were turned over regularly in Glasgow. Sunday was one of the few occasions we have a fairly level playing field, and instead of asserting our new found mental strength, we handed them an easy victory. It is not just about Sunday, it would have spoken volumes about our credibility as a new force - and shown teams we have lost the fear factor when playing in Glasgow.

Francis Albert Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well that went down well! Background. The "nothing at stake" chat, the "it doesn't matter as long as we thrash Hibs" chat and the wee team-like glee expressed by some about the prospect of Hibs missing out on revenue from Rangers next season pisses me off. Two things really mattered this season. First and overwhelmingly foremost of course was Hearts going up. Second was Rangers staying down. We had a chance to marginally increase the chances of the second on Saturday and played it like a pre-season friendly. The view that Hibs demise is the most, indeed only, important thing for us mirrors their obsession with us. It is probably realistic to accept that everything in Scottish football will revert to normal in a year or two. Shame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you got right was number one priority was Hearts going up which was achieved in spectacular fashion. A distant second to that was the chance of both h1b5 and sevco staying down, if that wasn't to be most couldn't care which of them does stay down. By "reverting back to normal" I assume you mean the ugly sisters first and second every year. It will take a lot more time than that for sevco to come anywhere near the other arse cheek whether they go up or not this year.

There is no point having FoH, if you cannot do that. Anyway, I do feel his went a bit OTT today, though he is entitled to his opinion.

For others, keep the simplistic personal abuse coming. It says more about you than me. The only thing I'd take issue with here is the assertion that most of us are indifferent as to whether Rangers or Hibs come up with us. Maybe you have done a poll and maybe you are right but I would much much prefer Hibs to come up with us. (Neither of course - that goes without saying). But maybe I am in a small minority, or even alone. For me, to quote another poster on another thread, it is about seeing the bigger picture.
