Maybe the reason our national team is a mess is down to kids not being brought up on a pie n bovril at the footie. 🤔

Didn't realise until it was mentioned on another thread that the walk up prices for this are £32 - £44. A televised game, early KO on a Sunday FFS.

 

Forget Levein, there should be a protest about this.

Tbf, it looks like a sizeable amount of Hearts fans are giving this game a swerve so the only folk we are ripping off are the 3,500 orcs.

Money spinner.

Probably be a good few in the home end, hopefully there is no bother cos Ann aint gonna go after that lot. It'll be all the Hearts fans fault.

Correct, Ron.

[Nookie Bear]

There should be a season ticket where you are only charged if the game is not on the box

 

And perhaps a bit more flexibility over pricing other seats when the game is live on tv.

Why not stick to the actual topic of the thread instead of going off on one because you don’t agree?  Make your own thread, see how popular it is or something instead of getting yourself wound up with something we’ve already read about 16,000 times you don’t agree with?

We know he doesn’t agree with the topic of the thread.  As you don’t.  You’ve said you’re peace loads now why go elsewhere? 

 

Where in the thread title or the opening message give much indication it was an up for debate type thread?  People disagree, we get it, people ridicule folk that want to protest but change the ****ing record if you’re not being proactive in a thread of this type.

That wouldn’t be an out of town “Jambo” being patronising or belittling others (as usual) would it?  

 

To answer your question.

 

You don’t agree with the protest, you’ve stated this in your usual passive aggressive manor many times.  Why not go onto a thread that interests you more in that case? Unless you’re actively looking to troll members who have had enough that much and that care about the club that much they are going to protest about the way the footballing side of the club is ran?

No, that’s untrue, chief. I’m all for protesting. Nothing will come of it but if it’s your thing, go for it. 

 

Its the rhetoric surrounding it that that bothers me. Im the kinda person that supports in the good times and bad. Let’s face it, being a Hearts fan it’s usually mediocre. This is a low point in recent history, agreed. I’m ****** if I’m gonna wet myself over it though. 

 

Good of luck to you and all those boycotting and or protesting.

Levein will get this season, as much as that pains me it’s the way it is. The only thing we can do to try and make things improve is support the players. IMO, of course.

Protesting and boycotting over something that is essentially every year of our history, bar a handful of good seasons, to me, is nuts.

Ok, allow me rephrase it. Most seasons, at least in my 46 years have been average at the very best.  Going further back, most years since our incredible success in the 50’s have been bang average at very best. 

 

Since RN left, (mind there were protests) we havebeen pretty awful to watch. 

 

Most protests have a goal, a point. Are any of the “leaders” on here able to inform of the ultimate aim of this? Is it just Levein oot? Budge too? What exactly are they protesting and what do they want? Is any other action being taken to achieve these goals?

It’s sad. There’s a section of the support who think they are above protesting, demos...etc....if it wasn’t for the SOH folk and supporters who protestedand marched , we wouldn’t have got to the Romanov years, never mind Ann Budge.

 

Ordinary fans are just wanting the best for the team. Football can get nasty, that’s just the way it is. People have passion some will never understand but there’s a culture growing in the support now that it’s just about accepting.

Yep. I agree with that. I want him gone from managerial duties, undecided on upstairs roles. He’s here for the season and I believe supporting the team is the best option. I understand others think differently even though I don’t agree with them.

Even if you were right, what’s wrong with fighting for better anyway? It’s exactly what’s wrong with quite a few Hearts fans.  “Ah well, we’re shite now and again anyway”. It’s a poison. 

 

Put demands on the team and club when justified. Fans CAN influence the attitude in a club, we have done before just like other clubs supporters.  

 

We slag the old firm, particularly Rangers fans , for their apparent delusions and entitlement but at least their attitude drips into the psyche of their club and you better believe they fight for it. In the end they always come good.  They don’t accept pish.

Rangers and Celtic have the money in the bank and people in the stands to ensure they meet those expectations. A privilege the rest of us don’t, nor ever will, have. 

 

The problem I personally have at the moment is any Tynecastle, whilst it used to be an intimidating venue for away teams is now the exact opposite. We are on top of our own players after 10 minutes and two loose passes and they can’t deal with it. They shit their pants and hide.

 

Maybe getting Levein gone would change this, we’d give a new manager some slack, maybe, and in turn give the team a little more slack and maybe they’d feel more comfortable taking risks. But that’s not happening. 

 

Budge holds all the cards at the moment and she’s come out time and time again and said Craig is going nowhere, no matter how much we kick and scream. Get behind the players and try to raise the confidence from the stands would be my aim, but at the end of the day I think a lot of our squad don’t have it in them to stand up to adversity, and a change in a manger won’t change that regardless.

People have a right to protest. Hearts fans protesting is not that new or unusual, especially when results on the park are rank rotten. 
 

AB does not want to sack CL, that doesn’t mean she won’t do it. The thing that is most likely to make her change her mind isn’t results as if it was the trigger would have been pulled. It’s the realisation that the fans are lost and the impact that will have. 

 

She saw the last protest and was incredibly uncomfortable with it.
 

Ohh and the point of the protest is clearly the removal of CL. If you don’t get that your deliberately obtuse or clearly lacking in some form of basic intelligence. Whilst it appears many other people are taking other actions to make the club aware of their distraction with current managerial stewardship these include not attending games, removal of subs and many people have even written to the club explaining the reason.

You make good points. Thing is there are many who also want Budge to step down. Some of the abuse I have seen towards her is unacceptable. Are we to believe those individuals will form no part in this protest? That they will accept just the removal of CL and their goals are met? Questioning the “basic intelligence” of those who see more than one side or issue in this is ridiculous.

Good post. 

The time is now up for Levein. Even if we win two or 3 matches there will always be another 5 or 6 match slump without a win. He cannot get consistency and that is what’s getting to the fans and transfers on to the park very quickly. A new manager would renew confidence all round I believe.

Spot on 👍 some even think it’s hilarious mocking it.  Imagine that attitude back in the day? We as a club like to remind others of our history, part of that history has been protesting against the harm of the club.  The same is exactly what is happening just now.  But it’s not okay anymore for some reason.

I would imagine some people who protest will want AB removed, some who don’t, some who want CL to remain as dof do and don’t. I would imagine a multiple of different views of all manners of issues. However, you don’t need to be aligned on every single issue which the aim of the protest is to remove CL from his managerial position.
 

The thing with protests is the uniting of a single cause and this case it’s the purpose is the removal of CL.

 

The fact it appears I needed to explain that makes me feel more than comfortable with my original statement if not more so. Particulary as I have questioned anyone intelligence around seeing more than one side of the argument. Just the intelligence of people claim they don’t know the purpose of the protest.
 

I agree the abuse of AB from some is unacceptable, however, I try to not judge the majority by the minority. Whilst the so called abuse of AB and CL hasn’t been nearly as bad as made out. 
 

As long as those taking part in protest obey the laws of the land 
 

 

Some of the abuse has been vile.
