Looking like it's Robbie next season.

 

Don't agree it's the way to go. Not at all really, but if that's the deal, I know I'll end up backing the team.

 

Problem is I won't be excited and next season should be exciting.

 

On fence, no matter what, re season tick due to finance/other commitments but was swaying to get one for me n my dad. Right back on the fence. If I don't, it won't be through protest, but you know there's just not the feeling of I simply must else I miss something special...

Do you just troll other posters or do you have something meaningful to say on any topic?

Hi, Al.

 

Never trolled anyone. On JKB or elsewhere.

 

I put forward opinions, comment on the opinion of others, but I've never deliberately caused offence either way.

 

I hate that away shirt, the camera position and level, but, hopefully we'll get the win.

 

Enjoy the game, Al.

No, but plenty think he should be sacked. Bonkers that he ain't.

This. Whether people agree or not Robbie is staying. We are starting recruitment on Monday!

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

13 goals 5 clean sheets and unbeaten run to finish the season.

If the players wanted rid, they could have, they didn't, just the opposite.

The players clearly think differently. 

 

Emphatically endorsed him these last few weeks when it would have been easier to throw him under the bus. 

 

I think for mental health purposes, it is time to move on

Yeah, that Morton game was some emphatic endorsment.

[jamboinglasgow]

Think we give the OP the benefit of the doubt that the club would announce anything until Tuesday with the social media ban, but if it doesn't happen then, then its not happening (there is surely no way it will happen now.)

Sensible people, even some fierce critics agreed after 5 minutes the pitch was not of a quality to play football. 

 

Compare against tonight or last Saturday on a flat surface, the team was flying. Wouldn't you agree?

 

Or are you so far gone you refuse to give credit or use reason?

Yet allegedly the fans got rid of him last time according to the Robbie is god club?

 

Brora, QotS, Arbroath, , Morton along with many piss poor performances say differently.

 

Maybe the players were playing for the fans last few games after making it clear they want rid off Beilson in said games above?

Tynecastle was fine v QotS.

Answer the question. Have the last few weeks, the 5games where players could have downed tools, not been very impressive. 

 

The 3 in particular Alloa, ICT and Raith. 

 

Have Hearts destroyed these teams playing fine flowing football. 

 

Yes or No. Answer the question.

John Souter is our best player IMO, he was struggling with the Greenock pitch, if he's struggling the whole team are going to struggle, you could roll a ball along a tattie field with less bobbles. The last few games show we've got a team that's got everything we want. People holding onto a shite performance against Greenock because a difficult pitch are desperate.

His record from a good while ago now  means diddly squat. It’s irrelevant. Far too many games this season where he’s been found out. He has done just enough and not much more to get us up from a really poor league. I accept he is probably staying so fingers crossed. But he gives me the fear.

 

His own targets. Over 2 goals per game. Over 2 points per game and concede less than one goal per game were very modest. I’d like to hear his target in advance next time instead of crowing about how he achieved them all.

Yeah KA its about being brave enough to say when you are right or wrong, not even that, just going too far.

 

I'm still quite emphatic they lost interest from January. 

 

Cup final took a toll mentally and there was a big gap. Empty stadia, they got bored.

Its fairly recent experience. Bit disingenuous to say we only just did enough. We needed binoculars to see the opposition from late December .

 

We seem to be keen to paint rather a darker picture than the reality. 

 

Some ugly games and if truth be told, lost 2 more games than I expected to, but the lead has been comfortable for many months

Ict/Raith were dead rubbers.

 

We were horrendous in a lot of games, good/great in some.

 

We should have been great in the majority.

 

You may get all Leeds Utd over beating Alloa and ICT at home and Raith away and forget all the shit that went beforehand, I'll take these good(no where near impressive given the opposition) performances, but can't forget the unacceptable dross that went beforehand.

 

We need to move forwards as one as a club, the fans, the players the management. Even Robbies biggest fans accept that won't be the case next season with Neilson in charge.

In fact Robbies biggest fans accept that there is a case for him to be sacked.

 

Robbie is damaged goods.

Because you're a Hearts supporter and you'll support the team regardless of who the manager is. If it's shite next season, he'll be gone.

We don't accept mediocrity. We have let the club know. If it is mediocre and below par next season the club will know about it again but ultimately, he's the manager, this seasons over and we can only hope it improves. 

[JackLadd]

Things turned for him vs Alloa but there was no pressure tonight or last week, have to factor that in. he's going to be in charge next season like it or not.

Yes or no. As another poster correctly pointed out, credibility at stake.

 

Ironically they were dead rubbers for Hearts against opponents with everything to play for. Have a wee think.

 

Good night Gambo  👍

You’re entitled of course to have an opinion on how 5 or 6 seasons ago impacts on next season. We can agree to differ there.

 

I’d submit that we cruised this league because none of the rivals were anything like good enough to put a run together. Almost all of their good results were against us.

 

I think a good team right at it in that league would have scored 80, conceded about 10 and not dropped more than 10 points. 
 

I think I saw 6 games were I thought we were good, 3 of those in the last month. I saw at least 12 games we were really poor in, worryingly poor and of course we had two of the worst  defeats in our entire history chucked in there for good measure. You can balance that out by nearly winning the cup I suppose but we also nearly got blown away in the first half of the final when tactically we were a joke.

Might be a bit off topic and need its own thread unless I’ve missed it. Why are the Social Media team all of a sudden using  “Enough Is Enough” slogan at end of season? Surely that’s us the fans slogan if anything for this years poor season? As someone pointed out on FB “use social media to post this #fail” 

So we the fans can’t vent our past anger at the people who currently run our team? What a pile of pish. If you had some one who actually did the social media job reading them, then work out we have issues with the majority of our fans with our current team/manager/owner situation with performances then this is a mega slap to us the fans if anything. Enough is enough aye? Excuses Excuses more like. 

Racism? Eh sorry but not from Hearts fans on social media. I’ve never seen that ever. 

Anyone who actually has a FB page knows you can easily set it so that this sort of thing doesn’t happen plus anything can easily be deleted if it’s out of order or reported. That again is the job of the social media team not FB of Twitter. What a joke and at end of season too, keep us in the dark now. Absolute stupidity because someone might be a racist (but not us) or that we are angry and can’t vent that at the game down to Covid. Slowly chipping away at the hands that feed you.

Its part of a wider event that football in the UK is doing where all clubs, media and player accounts are going silent until 23:59 on Monday to protest at lack of action by social media companies to clamp down on racism and abuse of players online.

Thanks Jamboinglasgow. 

Being downunder has its drawbacks. The longer you live here the less you read Scottish or English news. I’m sure it could have been worded a little differently as it comes across as a stab at the fans from some one who didn’t know like myself. Cheers anyway mate that clarifies that then. 👍👏🙏
