Bull's-eye Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's a sad indictment the way supporters dish out so much abuse towards something they portray to love and care about. Makes for sad reading and must be horrendous for supporters that can't make games for whatever reason. It's a sign of the times I suppose. ???????

It is indeed a sign of the times and very sad times they are just now, but do you have any suggestions on how, in your very humble opinion, this can be reversed and get everyone back on the happy train?

Performances to be proud of make people happy. Winning ugly without performing well works too. Even getting some shots away in games can help.

graygo Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Totally agree, it's the personal abuse that Craig Levein gets from some on here that makes me want to defend him, partly because he can't do it himself and partly because it's unwarranted. A well thought out and worded post about him and how bad things are just now is very difficult to argue with, I've even jumped ship myself and cans see change coming at the end of the season if not sooner.

3fingersreid Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Fully agree , whilst I think it’s time for change the personal abuse of CL is poor , wonder how it would’ve been if there was JKB when either Seith or Ford were managers ?

Bazzas right boot Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I agree. There is a way to do something and the vitriol spouted on Here at the club is poor. There is a discussion to be had about the best way forward, however the abuse, particularly at Ann and CL is more suited towards behaviour shown not only by hibs but rangers and celtic fans. It really is scum behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Sailor Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 After the start to the season and the football we were playing I thought we had turned the corner. Levein went back to his basics and comfort zone in setting up to being difficult to beat after the simultaneous injuries to the key players. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get out of this sterile, turgid dross that has smothered the life out of the season. He keeps chopping and changing as well which tells me he is not at ease with himself or the players. A semi final to look forward to, the Gorgie faithful should be buzzing but it's no surprise it feels flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s you that has the problem because if your employed to manage a team to get the best out of the players and you and your staff are failing do you expect fans to say nothing out of respect for a man who was a great player for our team.

Gnjambo16 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 We are not buzzing as the next win is hard to see including very much the ICT game . Sometimes you think we can’t get any worse then I go to Hamilton and yip we do . I know there seems to be some support on here for CL but cmon he has had a very decent go at it and failed miserably. It’s not his club it’s ours . I was watching Hearts when the fans wanted Seith out and fans chanted outside the main stand ..... and it worked we. Were floging a dead horse then and it’s very much the same situation. A dinosaur manager ? Looks that way to a lot of us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
