kingantti1874 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sorry if dwindling crowds, boos and protests won’t cut it then a boycott is required. Sorry Craig, you don’t get to decide how long it’s tenable. Sadly I won’t be back until one of my childhood heroes leaves the club. What a shite state of affairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Dwindling crowds are a boycott of sorts. If someone makes an individual decision that they’ve had enough then that multiplied by many achieves the same result. That’s what will happen the longer he is there.

EIEIO Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I'm on a 6 week boycott touring Brittany in my motorhome meant to be back for killie game but will be in no rush so probably the huns game will be my next. Still puts a damper on your day when you see score flashes and chat to mates online who've been at the game. I wish i didn't care but i do.

Sagan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) It's required for one game in my opinion, unless Ann comes out with the best statement ever, and get's us all behind the levein and his muppets.

henryheart Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The team is clearly nervous and individual mistakes are being made as a result. The team needs support, not the constant background of disgruntlement. If a boycott results in the boo boys staying away I'm all for it, leaving those of us who want to encourage the team, no matter what failings it may have, to get on with the job of getting behind the team.

kirkierobroy Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If yu want an outside view (probably not, but here's one anyway) something's gotta give. Scottish football is back to being uber-boring with the evil twosome lording it over everyone with the benign SFA and SPFL happy about it. Scottish football needs a stronger Hearts and Aberdeen and, sorry guys, Hibs. With your level of support and, frankly, even with the players you've got, you should be doing better than bottom of the table. So I'm not sure what the problem is. The same manager had you top of the league a year ago. But get it fixed. Scottish football needs you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDevriesScores4 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The level of apathy today was incredible. I wish folk would give it a rest about the criticism of the players and the boos. The criticism didn’t start until later in the game. The team had the apathetic support of a sparsely filled tynecastle for the majority of the game. The fans aren’t making the players play with poor tactics. The players are doing that because they’ve been instructed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we went 1-0 it became very audible and recurred each time Motherwell showed and threat (eg hitting the bar). The tactics have seen us score twice in our last 2 home games, which should be enough to win any home game against low to middle order teams. The tactics are not responsible for individual errors - it is this which is costing us and this is happening because the players are nervous.
