Sertse Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I listened to Scarves Around The Funnel and I have to say that I agreed with most of what boab said however I just don't trust him to actually do any of it. It was the same old 'should have done better' pish and saying he wants to stay at Hearts as long as possible. Feck me, read the room. I honestly worry we'll be in a relegation battle again.

Hard to disagree with your thoughts. For the last five seasons I said to myself, things have to improve, surely they can't get any worse. How wrong can you be.

If the club do achieve what was in the statement, we’ll be in a very good place. Suppose this should be in the statement thread but as regards Robbie, if he achieves what he done after coming up the last time, with a caveat of better Cup performances, he’ll be here longer than some people think. The actual football is another matter. I can probably count the really good footballing seasons without taking my socks off, over the last 40 years. Not an admission of accepting pish football, just stating facts. We’ll never be world beaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep watching and going to games when I can but to say I’m unhappy at Neilson continuing is an understatement. Nobody would be disappointed to see him go imo.

Says on the podcast attacking football, 3 at the back, win every game, use the youth, he loves Hearts etc. In reality we had boring slow hoofball, the oldest team in recent memory, 0 shots on goal some games, getting beat by Alloa, fecking BRORA RANGERS.

This results in his caty remarks about following more successful teams in England, England !! I mean what’s that all about ? Can’t Hearts fans have an opinion on how he does his job because fans expressing their views on how good or bad the manager/team are performing is our right and if Neilson can’t handle that and respect our supports views he should leave.

Sure we may like these men just like I’m like Robbie when I’ve met him a few times but the big question is are they any good at their jobs. We can only tell by what we witness on a match day just like I may like the look of the pies at Half Time but it’s all about the taste.
