Sir Gio Posted May 16 Maybe I feel better for the day it is today. Maybe because the sun is shining and its warmer just as it was then. Does it really matter, so long as there is and always is Heart of Midlothian FC. Does it matter which league, which players, which manager, which owner. So long as we have Tynecastle and one another we have something others really do long for. The season saw taunts from virtually every single team. Why? Take it as a complement. Its because you matter, we matter, Heart of Midlothian matters. No set of fans has gathered as one, and as regularly in time of need and distress. That is envied, to the point no mercy was ever likely to fall our way. They don't have what I do, what you do, what we have together. Covid will hang around for some time, there will be changes to our lives, there will be changes to our football. Even the league we play in. What never changes and never will is our enduring love and passion for Heart of Midlothian. Don't ever let the envy, the bitterness and aggression wear you down and engulf you. Stay safe, stay strong of body and mind. We will see each other soon enough, we will find our way through the latest tunnel, we will succeed. We are Heart of Midlothian HHGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gashauskis9 Posted May 16 Thank you SG. One of the best posts I’ve ever seen on here. Absolutely spot on, agree with every word. I see all the scrutiny and piss taking at our demotion as a huge huge compliment. When it finally clicks, they’ll all find out 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batistuta87 Posted May 16 (edited) Spot on. I kept going to the games the last time we were in the Championship and I still got the same buzz walking along to Tynecastle every single time. I intend to continue going this time too. I love Hearts and will support them forever more. Edited May 16 by Batistuta87 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redjambo Posted May 16 Nice one, Gio. One small issue I have however is when you say "Does it matter which league..." and "there will be changes to our football, even the league we play in." You talk as if we should accept our fate of being expelled from the Premiership. It's a defeatist attitude. We need to fight it. Let's not act as if it were a fait accompli and that we should give up the fight just because we have each other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Locky Posted May 16 Superb Sir Gio. The berating and taunting from other clubs only further galvanises my unbreakable bond with Heart of Midlothian. Through all of this, we've seen an ugly side of football. A side that has even tested my love for the beautiful game. But nothing can test my love for this football club. The people I've met, the places I've been, the celebrations and heartache we've endured together. I love HMFC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Gio Posted May 17 I think more than ever we need to try and be positive about our future, hard in the circumstances I'm sure for most of us, be it at home work or in sport. If we do stick together @BelgeJambo sums up those 3 hours really well.

SwindonJambo Posted May 17 I’ve done a good bit of European Travel in my life plus a couple of trips to the States. I love walking around all the sights in big cities like Paris, Berlin and Rome, New York & Boston. However none of them put a spring in my step close to Exiting Haymarket Station and turning right down Dalry Road and Gorgie Road to Tynecastle for a Hearts game. Last time I did it, in February, there was a wild storm, we were shite and bottom of the league and the game was dire. Even in those circumstances I STILL get more of a buzz out of said walk to any of the others. I’m from the West, previously had no Hearts background at all and didn’t visit Tynie until 1985, when I was 18. I was bowled over by the place immediately and have been a fan ever since. I’ve been an FoH member since the start. I will still follow the club if we end up in the Edinburgh Sunday pub league. We will survive whatever the corrupt powers that be throw at us. And thrive. Because it’s what we do. HHGH and screw all those who seek to sink us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone said earlier on Off the Ball that 600 new pledgers have signed up to FoH this week. The mystery benefactors are continuing to be benefactors.
