Sir Gio Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Struggling to get any enjoyment from football, and these turd polishing measures make it worse for me. NBA seem to have the best stab at it, indoors I suppose easier to get the acoustic and ambiance. With some setbacks globally I think crowds returning could be delayed. IF that is the case, how should Hearts deck out Tynecastle. Some pathetic looking efforts yesterday at dressing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
busby1985 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Canned crowds is the worst. What’s wrong with hearing what the players say. I find that more entertaining than canned burnley chants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex member of the SaS Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hopefully they don't go down the route of cardboard cut outs with fans paying £25 to get their mugs on them. As you say the attempts so far have been cringe worthy. Kangaroo's FFS! Personally I would cover the seats with huge banners saying ONLY Hearts and take your medicine.

Boof Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hope we've got some canned booing for referees, linemen, 4th officials, opposition team lines, journalists and SPFL/SFA officials looking for a free watch of a game. Every one of those ***** can pay to get in. In fact that Doncaster ***** should pay for himself and security guards for the 8 seats surrounding him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3fingersreid Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Get the big flag out , covers a big area , looks good and if on the TV will remind a certain team of a certain day 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IF that is the case, how should Hearts deck out Tynecastle. Some pathetic looking efforts yesterday at dressing More expensive but huge banners over the seats, with "appropriate" messages on them. For example, "Blood doesn't show on a maroon jersey." "Lest we forget!" The number of Hearts victories v Hibs comparison "Only Hearts!" Robbo, Rudi, Dave MacKay, 5-1 2012, etc. Aye, and the Big Flag as suggested. Edited August 2, 2020 by colinmaroon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DETTY29 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 When the 4th goes in against Hibs in the semi I want to hear a Liam McLeod recording of 'And suddenly, it's a rout' being played over the tannoy at Hampden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a bit of an aside I presume there is a couple of minutes delay in transmission to allow the correct buttons to be pressed? The cardboard cut outs, whilst a decent moneymaker, are equally as shite although the ones of Bin Laden etc were quite funny. With a bit more planning we could have had some fun with the ER ones.
