I've been a Hearts supporter since my Granddad lifted me over the turnstiles about 56 years ago. I love the club. We were once called Glorious Hearts as an epithet by many other clubs. Difficult to believe that now. What little belief I had in the integrity of the sport is now just a sad wee flickering flame. I won't be looking at results, or the football news, the BBC, the SFA website, Sky sports or any other medium except the occasional check in on kickback. I will go to home games and carefully pick any away games. Never say never, so maybe that will change but for the forseeable future it's Hearts and only Hearts.

 

I believe the Club should continue to behave with the integrity it has shown so far and fulfil all the official stuff. We don't want unscrupulous people fining the club at every opportunity.  FOH can be a bit more assertive. It's clear from posts that some fans will not stop going to games and that is their right. So I have one suggestion to keep a united front.

 

Let's accept that  number of fans will go to away games so let's galvanise them into our small protest group rather than condemn them. Many people won't be going at all - probably enough to not only make a point, but direct all out attention onto getting Hearts up to where we belong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good post mate👍🏼
Some people sound awfully like OF fans with the threatening chat and need to get outside the echo chamber of a hearts website that has led them down a rabbit hole for 4 months with what is happening and what is going to happen. It’s made loads of us look complete and utter mugs to be perfectly honest. I’m fed up with ITK posters who know absolutely ****ing nowt yet keep everyone hanging with their utter nonsense. Other clubs are laughing at us with the threats from our fans and personally it’s over for me and away games I’ll be going. We’re absolutely ****ing awful away from home and I just want us out of this even more tinpot League than the one we’ve been expelled from. 

Imagine how stupid we’ll look if we start poorly with no fans at away grounds.
Na bolloks to that let’s get out of here.

The man is a liar, pure and simple.

English clubs were not allowed to carry on training as he states above. They had to go into lockdown too.

Hearts and Sevco opposed the season ending and objected to the SPFL statement that was released as they changed the wording from majority to unanimously.

The man couldnt lead a blind person across the road safely.

He has to go and in my opinion the sooner the better.

Lying, corrupt, celtic bawbag teabagging, melted welly faced dickhead can't even get his falsehoods correct. English players were furloughed exactly as we were. 

And, how many times can he repeat "more than 80%".

I understand what you are saying,  it's the hope that kills you. I don't blame posters for what has turned out to be horeshit if it was posted in good faith. My anger remains (Probably until the day I die) with the SPFL board,  the 81 percent of clubs and the SFA.

[AndrewB]

Raking over yesterday's news, I know, but how many times in the Doncaster quotes does he mention the 81%?  Three or four, I think. He is so wedded to that that he thinks it makes everything right.

Meanwhile...

“I’m not at all happy that clubs had to be relegated with a part of the season remaining, but it is a sporting competition. Those clubs were in the bottom position in the league at the point where the season came to an end.

 

Doesn't a sporting competition need to come to an end to be, well, "sporting?"  So, walk off the court when you are 4-2 up in the final set as Doncaster will give you the match anyway.  Or walk off the 14th green when you are 2 up on your opponent; Doncaster will call that a win.  Or, indeed, when we are leading Hibs 1-0 in the 71st minute of the cup semi, we can leave the pitch as Doncaster will recommend that the SFA endorse that as a win to us.

And to forgive those in the relegation play-offs from being subject to the same rules as the 3 bottom clubs isn't "sporting", it's favouritism.

 

It's all old news and I'm giving the same old rants as I've been doing for the last few months but this still really bothers me and every time he pops up it enrages me massively.

Na it’s time to stop this wallowing and self pity. Look back at the performance that night at St Mirren when we knew what defeat might mean. We might’ve got out of it but WE KNEW what might happen and look at the performance...an utter disgrace. All this blaming everyone else around us for not letting us stay up well a lot of that rests squarely on the players toes imo and of course all levels of management for the best part of 2 years.

Yea we were shit for most of last season but there were 8 games left so that is the point. I've read what other fans and the media have said , I pity them for bending over to their masters and pretending all is well with the running of Scottish Football. There time will come to be shafted.

Up to you if you go to away games hope you enjoy the day out. I wont be there.

I’m not arguing that but the amount that rested on that St Mirren game (and everyone at the club was aware) and we put in a quite disgraceful performance to add to the disgraceful performances over the previous couple of years and we almost ended up where we deserved to be. 
I’ll be there because I just want to support my team not looking in the window like a bairn in the huff. I want a big loud Hearts support like we usually take. I hope you and loads of others will change your mind and come an all👍🏼

It’s a nice lift for these clubs absolutely but for me I just want to support the team again, I enjoy away days more than the home ones.

As in bold above. Precisely. Never stoop to the depths of the bottom-feeders. Hearts have shown themselves to be better than that throughout the years, and especially during this fiasco. But, there WILL be future fiascos; and, when those times come, Hearts will undoubtedly do the right thing ...

I get the impression it's all about you having your day out rather than supporting Hearts. 

Hearts will have plenty of hospitality on offer at Tynecastle when the team are away from home. By using the hospitality and donating ticket costs to FOH we could offset a lot of the cost of our expulsion to the Championship. 

I don't care what other clubs think, the clubs who shafted us are getting none of my money.

Succinct and to the point. He grinds gears, rips knitting, and boils the piss of every logical thinking person. 👍 One, yes ONE resubmitted vote after behind the scenes back-channel, weasil-like, underhand 'what's in it for me' type communications with wink-wink promises and there you have it ... a 'resounding' 80%+ vote that gets trumpeted endlessly. But, remember, Hibs voted to lose a place plus lucrative derby matches, and Dundee voted to promote their rivals!!! There are other equally pathetic examples like voting with an eye on a few extra away supports visiting, or not having to suffer the financial hit of a bus trip & some fish & chips.

 

The SPFL commitee members who saw to it that THEIR clubs were favoured should NEVER be forgotten. Brechin? Never mind boiling my piss; that squashes my effin' gonads. Scared of a play-off; and as for that Ross Co clown who clearly looks for reconstruction NEXT season so as to preserve their SPL status avec nae 'relegations'? What an absolute shower of shameless nonentities. Not 'A Parcel of Rogues' ... an entire bleedin' container full of sleekit beasties.

It's not just about breaking those clubs who were wanting us in the Championship for the gate money, though. It's also about giving Hearts the money we would have given those clubs. Hearts are taking a multi million pound hit because of the self interest of those clubs. We aren't getting any compensation, or the "solidarity payments" that the likes of Gray of Hamilton suggested should happen. Hearts will need the money more than the clubs in the Championship. They are not the ones who might have to make good people redundant because of this.

They've played along, with malice, with notions of reconstruction to avoid harm to the 3 clubs. They've said the demotions are unfair, and they would have fought against them too. They've said we were rubbish and were going down anyway. 

Werder Bremen, in a similar situation to us, stayed up.

Aston Villa, in a similar position to us, stayed up.

The bottom 5 clubs in the English Championship, at the suspension of play, all stayed up.

Nobody knows where those 24 points, we still had to play for, would have ended up. And I say that as one of many who saw the pathetic display at Paisley.

Hearts, and the other 2 clubs, are being told that they'll just have to "take their medicine", when no significant harm to any clubs was easy to arrange, but slightly financially detrimental to a few. So now we are being called out for wanting to help our club take that medicine, by diverting cash from the providers of that medicine to Hearts.

Any Hearts fan who choses to give their cash to the likes of Raith Rovers, to cheer on our team, is well entitled to. But please don't criticise any Hearts fan who can't give them their cash, and also give cash to help Hearts at the same time.

You can always make yourself useful if you are going to the away games. 

We will need some volunteers to display the 'TAKE YOUR MEDICINE' banner behind the goals. 😂

I’ll be taking plenty medicinals that’s for sure 😀

It's not just about breaking those clubs who were wanting us in the Championship for the gate money, though. It's also about giving Hearts the money we would have given those clubs. Hearts are taking a multi million pound hit because of the self interest of those clubs. We aren't getting any compensation, or the "solidarity payments" that the likes of Gray of Hamilton suggested should happen. Hearts will need the money more than the clubs in the Championship. They are not the ones who might have to make good people redundant because of this.

They've played along, with malice, with notions of reconstruction to avoid harm to the 3 clubs. They've said the demotions are unfair, and they would have fought against them too. They've said we were rubbish and were going down anyway. 

Werder Bremen, in a similar situation to us, stayed up.

Aston Villa, in a similar position to us, stayed up.

The bottom 5 clubs in the English Championship, at the suspension of play, all stayed up.

Nobody knows where those 24 points, we still had to play for, would have ended up. And I say that as one of many who saw the pathetic display at Paisley.

Hearts, and the other 2 clubs, are being told that they'll just have to "take their medicine", when no significant harm to any clubs was easy to arrange, but slightly financially detrimental to a few. So now we are being called out for wanting to help our club take that medicine, by diverting cash from the providers of that medicine to Hearts.

Any Hearts fan who choses to give their cash to the likes of Raith Rovers, to cheer on our team, is well entitled to. But please don't criticise any Hearts fan who can't give them their cash, and also give cash to help Hearts at the same time.

Won’t criticise anyone for that mate. I’ll still be giving more money to Hearts than the odd £20 for a ticket to watch us👍🏼

Welcome to your opinion and have every right to go to away games.

I will choose not to as has every hearts fan away from kickback that I know and have spoken to, numbers will be interesting.

Fair enough. None of my mates are talking about boycotts by the same token.

I have listened to the podcast from start to finish and nobody on that edition deserves any credit, why?

Because all of them still refuse to name the elephant in the room which is the big Glasgow two. Craig Levein came closest when the 11-1 voting in the premiership was briefly touched upon, when he said he has always disagreed with it, but knows why it is there. It is there so that either Celtic or Sevco can vote down something they dont like, which is basically those two not getting the lions share of what little money there is in Scottish football.

Still no one involved in Scottish football whether they be an administrator, director, journalist, pundit, coach or manager have the balls to say it.

To change Scottish football you have to go up against those two. The problem is no other club is powerful to do it on their own, but there are not enough others with the balls to be stood up and counted.

Never listened to it but going why what you said you’d think Levein would shoot from the hip as has nothing to lose.

Baffling.

Players might actually perform better with less pressure from the crowd.

Further Developments in Belgium.  Excuse translation

 

More and more uncertainties are hanging over the start of the Belgian league… Waasland-Beveren has just obtained a verdict from the Dendermonde district court demanding the club's rehabilitation in the Jupiler Pro League. If the Pro League does not agree to include the Waeslandiens in the 2020-2021 calendar, they will be forced to pay a very heavy fine (2.5 million euros) per match day played.

So far, the Pro League has ignored the various decisions taken in favor of Waasland-Beveren, such as that of the CBAS canceling relegation a few weeks ago. But this time, given the risk of sanction, it is difficult to see how she could get out of it by sticking to her positions. A general assembly will be held tomorrow and precise decisions will have to be taken, just one week before the start of the Belgian championship.

A D1A at 17 clubs with a match bye each week could be the least complicated solution ... But would still involve quite a few complications. But in such a short time frame it is difficult to imagine the Pro League deciding to replay the last day of the classic phase.

As a reminder, Waasland-Beveren is contesting his relegation to D1B following the hasty end of the championship due to the Coronavirus epidemic. When the D1A stopped, the Waeslandiens were last with two points less than Ostend and only one game was still to be played. To have a chance of remaining in the top flight, WB had to beat the Ghent with a large margin and hope for Ostend to slip up against Cercle de Bruges.

I get the idea of an away day is a great day out, Like the Aberdeen game,getting a police escort through the players gate onto the pitch and into the stand, and out the same way ( near ) the end. However why is it such a sacrifice, to boycott teams that screwed us over, teams that COULD have voted for reconstruction and no harm, but chose to stick it up us. Yes, away days are great, but even for ONE season we as a fan base MUST make a point, and it must be a strong point, to show those clubs it's not right to put self interest before the good of the game. To show these clubs who thought OUR money, would keep them afloat, that they serious misunderstand if they can't manage on the income they can guarantee then they should go amateur until such times as they can be self sufficient. 

Giving cash to these clubs that maybe won't survive without or massive bonus cash and helping them get better players than they could otherwise afford to challenge us for the league, ( a league we shouldn't be in and have to exit asap ) doesn't make sense to me.

 I was agreeing with everyone up till the other day it was and is in general an echo chamber in here. 
Some of the stuff I was reading had me hook line and sinker cos I was ignoring other points of view. Spending hours reading the fantasy posted on here I’m actually embarrassed how much I fell for it. I ignored all the other noise as just that, we were going to **** them all up cos loads of posters all agreed, I bought it man. 
We got plums...
I could’ve predicted it all on day one in honesty. Like most people I’d imagine. 
I think none of us going is handicapping the club at the end of the day. 

 

I wasn't very active because I realised I dont have the years of legal training needed to make sense of the legalities, of what was relevant and irrelevant.

 

But so what? What happened was wrong, 100%. I'm raging about it, and about all the ****ers who voted for it. Legal and right are different things.

 

You move on if that suits, but this'll stick in my craw for a while yet.

It’ll stick in mine as well dot get me wrong. Scum like Jackson, Leckie, that fat ******* at Ayr etc wont ever be forgotten. I want us to come back first and foremost though the door is closed man. I’d like to think the club as whole will use that feeling to our advantage cos christ knows something needs to, to get a tune out of that ****ing shower. I’m raging at the players too, this is mostly their doing. 

Anyway we/I’m talking like crowds will be back anytime which isn’t anything more than a hope atm. I certainly wouldn’t be paying for any PPV from any of these clubs to watch that’s for certain. 
Anyway✌🏼
