hughesie27 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I always spit on the crest when I go past and always will. Not sure where your 'made up myth' comes from. Edited to say I mean the one on the High Street, would never think of spitting on the new one. As for the why of spitting on it; yes, the original reason was to do with the executions that took place there (also the taxman if I remember right) but it has evolved over the centuries to now be for good luck I know people who support Hibs who happily spit 9n it too. Certainly not for good luck. It all ends up at the same end though with grown adults spitting in public, the city centre. Strange behaviour.

jb102 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The only bodily fluid I'll be ejecting over that crest is likely to get me arrested. I've heard about girls squirting on another thread. Do you think it would be breach of the peace,affray,indecent exposure or a standing ovation?

Bazzas right boot Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The crest does look wonderful - dare I suggest we extend the tradition of spitting on the Heart of Midlothian badge in the High St to our new one at Tynecastle Park or is that going too far?

sac Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 How they going to get the concrete staging on without driving on the pitch? I'm guessing they will put so many steel supports in place,Then the crane will boom over to drop the concrete staging to the furthest point, working back the way to the last steel support, then repeat the process a few more times without having to put the crane on the playing surface.

But hey ho we are all different sorry if I have offended civilised people FTFY! Also, the heart on the High Street isn't a representation of the club's badge. Aside from the fact that only utter morons go around spitting in public anyway, why anyone would think spitting on the club's badge would be a good thing to do just because some idiots still carry out a tradition dating from hundreds of years ago on a different symbol somewhere else in the city is beyond me.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 ManMoth - yes given that so may recollect on here doing it for luck on the High St original. But hey ho we are all different sorry if I have offended the non-spitting brigade1 That is not the 'original' Hearts badge, it is the one and only marker of the site of the Heart of Midlothian Tolbooth. The Hearts badge is the badge of Heart of Midlothian Football Club, and no Hearts supporter would ever wish to desicrate it with his, or her, spit. On the other hand, I am sure each and every Hibs supporter will see spitting on it as some amazing achievement - would you like to be associated with that? Assuming you are a Hearts supporter, may I ask if you have ever spat on any other Hearts badge? If not, why would you find it appropriate to do so just because Hearts have spent a lot of money creating this wonderfull mosaic, reminiscent, but not a copy of, the site marker of a terrible prison that our club badge was based on, for us all to enjoy? People spit on the Heart of Midlothian because the Tolbooth of that name was a bad place! Is that how you view the approach to Tynecastle Park?
