Fraggle Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 30 minutes ago, portobellojambo1 said: If I'm honest the last time round I didn't celebrate winning the Championship as anything of any sort of significant importance as such. Was I pleased that time round that we had come straight back up yes, and it was won in a way that made me, wrongly, think the future looked bright. In the previous season, we had started with a 15 point deduction which eventually led to us going down. But Gary Locke had introduced a lot of youngsters that previous season, and given them some grounding, and we benefited from that when playing in the Championship. I genuinely thought we had something to use as a starting point once up, but once up we then over analysed everything, starting from the first away game up at Dens Park, where it was individual players who had to decide that the game needed played differently, something which spelled the end for Morgaro Gomis. My worry this time round is we haven't introduced any significant youngsters, and the over analysis is taking place in the Championship this time. I've read, mainly on here, that the only reason Robbie reappeared at the start of this season was because he knew how to get us out of the Championship the last time. Based on that I would hope that once we are up we terminate that contract and look for someone who can take what we have and create something successful at the top level. Because apart from Rangers even the top league looks like one that securing European football in should be attainable, but I have no confidence we will achieve that based on the way we have operated in the Championship this year. As usual PJ1, a very reasonable and well thought out post. One that I agree with entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave1874 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Will celebrate with an extra beer but only as we will be out of this horrendous league. Really hope no fans turn up at Tynie as not worth it and would be cringey as F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: Something for discussion. we had to do what we are doing this season. We aren’t doing it as crushingly as we would have liked. But we didn’t want to be and shouldn’t have been here. Our last time in the championship was euphoric (relatively speaking) - we had nearly gone bust; we wasted Rangers and Hibs; we had started from ground zero and were given the chance to build from scratch which we didn’t have this season. As I see it this season was functional with one aim. I get no satisfaction worthy of celebration from what will be our promotion. My view is, and I would suggest, that as fans we don’t do anything daft or embarrassing in the current environment about overtly celebrating winning this shitey league on the streets. This season should be treated with the contempt it deserves. We got out a shite league we shouldn’t have been in. We have done enough without being brilliant. I hope the fans and the club treat the league victory with the disdain it deserves. I also hope we don’t lower ourselves to to the COVID-riddled standards of those scumbags in Glasgow (from both sides). If it was me I’d be boycotting the trophy handover shit that happens either at the end of this season or the beginning of next. We are bigger and better than celebrating the league this season IMO. Send up only Naismith to pick up the trophy who then chucks it in the bin on the way out. Medals laid out in dressing room for players to pick up on way out.

Weakened Offender Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I was very proud of the players who won a league with Hibs and Rangers in it a few months after nearly goung bust. Can't say I celebrated it though, and I only missed one match. This time around I knew it wouldn't be as easy as some thought. There was no chance that a team with a spine of players who were utterly dismal last season was going to hammer every team in every game. They didn't have the chip on their shoulder we all hoped they'd have too. I have no wish to see any of the players who were at the club last season celebrating winning this league. Its an embarrassment that we are in this league and they are to blame. Edited March 7, 2021 by Weakened Offender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I won’t be celebrating it as such. It’s a disgrace we have even been led to this division considering our budget. It was a completely different scenario getting relegated last time around (-15 points and a much much smaller playing budget) Celebrating winning this division this time would make me feel a bit like an old firm fan, I won’t be buzzing that we have won a league when we have a massive budget that dwarfs every other team. Just get us out of this embarrassing stain on our clubs history and then hopefully we can move on with some competent leadership at the club.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The way things are going, it will be made official when we aren't playing given the number of games in hand those nearest to us have. Therefore, it will be a Wednesday night in Dumfries or somewhere that wraps it up and it won't involve us. That would actually be quite appropriate.

jimbojambo Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Dundee United, Hibs and Rangers all struggled in this league so it's an achievement to win it at the first time of asking. I think this will be the fourth time that I have seen Hearts win this league and we've never over celebrated it so as others have said I'm sure the marketing will be all around being back and GIRUY to everyone else. Always a sense of optimism at the start of a season for players and staff and I hope we'll all continue to get behind the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have never celebrated any lower league title win or promotion. Last time was certainly a pleasing achievement. But in the yo-yo years 40 years ago celebrating promotion would have meant a sequence of joy and despair that would have been even worse for my mental than following Hearts has been. But of course if others want to celebrate in whatever way they choose they are free to do so. After all we once proudly listed the Tennents Sixes as one of our major honours.

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I fully understand the thinking that players have won the league are entitled to be pleased, however they should also be aware of how crap they have played, and no matter how big a lead at the end, it's nothing to get excited about. They should also be aware of the circumstances of how we are here and those who were here last season should be having a quiet drink and not be " out on the town ". Winning this league is nothing to get excited about and when the likes of Celtic or Sevco win a couple of seasons in a row against a league of teams with half their budget it tends to get a bit boring. We should be treating winning the league with a watered down celebration and lot of contempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
