JyTees Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 33 minutes ago, luckydug said: Hearts used to do a huddle before games 2005/2006 season. Remember the players doing a huddle after beating Hibs 4-0 in the semi final in 2006. Why does everything have to revolve around Celtic and The Rangers ? Some posters appear to hate Celtic more than they support Hearts. Yeh, we did it fleetingly. Less than one season in a 145 year existence. In Scottish football it's associated with Celtic. It's been associated with Celtic since the mid nineties. It's now acknowledged as a Celtic tradition. Why the **** would anyone want to encourage and endorse a Hearts team taking up this very Celticy act and try to make it their own? We have our own history and tradition that to my mind would compete and surpass any other football club on planet earth (I'm biased). Stick your "Huddle" clean up your arse!

A huddle before the game could be similar. For Celtic the huddle unites the players, galvanises the support and riles the opposition. Why wouldn't we want to do the same? Happy to nick anything from anyone if it helps Hearts... and if it annoys them even better! Didn't Celtic nick the huddle off us? And once they started it we stopped doing it.

Rizla Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I can’t understand why so many Hearts fans let the ugly sisters dictate what they do and nobody else should.

JamboNation Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Have no opinion on this if this helps the team focus before kick off and start well then great ! if it's a distraction for the players then no , The references to what other teams seems a bit small team and obsessive. Huddle's were not invented by Celtic let's not afford them that Credit ! I would be delighted if look at all the small winning habits that Celtic and other teams use and adopt ourselves if it works - why not ? We may hate them but there is not disputing they do winning better than anyone over the last decade . I haven't heard anyone complain when we score a last minute goal that it's a 'Celtic thing' ? The season we did use it was probably our most successful in the last 30 years May be a small detail but many games are won by fine margins !

Just as we are not allowed to enjoy 'Simply the best' as a song it belongs to Rangers. If I had my way we would do both at Tynecastle at the same time. Why should the Ugly Sisters be allowed exclusivity on these things. Doing a huddle with Simply the Best belting out from the speakers ? It would be a one size fits all to get under the skin of both sets of the neanderthals. Would be funny, but probably still a No from me. .

2205ian Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The best huddle I have witnessed by "them" is the post 4 - 0 at Tynecastle. Embarrassing & lead by their wee leprechaun Brendan who left them at the 1st opportunity to chase the cash, but hey, there is no shame with that lot. I'm in the "no" category on this one.
