Longbaws Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well done Robbie Neilson. A good performance from the team last night. As bad as we've been, we have strolled to the league title and will probably end up winning it by 15 points- despite only playing 3/4 of a season. The Brora result was shite but who cares. Back in the big league and pumping Hibs at every opportunity. I'm happy with that. HHGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where it’s due though, your consistency for dribbling utter dug shite has to be acknowledged. 40 odd thousand posts and you’d be hard pressed to pick out half a dozen with a modicum of decent content. I clearly say most fans are results based, this means their opinion will change.... Depending on results. I think I voted to remove him, and if he goes, goes. Still not arsed either way, I see merit in removing him and keeping him. Do another poll in July once we are promoted, new players and ready to go. Be back to a small rabble.

There are other shite managers I’m late to the party but I hope your not inferring Doddie was a shite manager? Very few have done as much for Hearts as that man, he took us from a struggling yo-yo club and put us firmly back where we belong.

I’ve no idea what’s going on at Hearts but there’s a massive problem with this playing squad and whatever Neilson is doing is causing it. He said a few months ago players would be leaving and we’ve been on a downward spiral (in context of this season) ever since. Whatever is going on, Neilson is the man in charge so it falls on his shoulders. I suspect like his mentor he’s convinced Ann Budge he can fix it.

Doddie sacked after taking us to within a goal of the real title and to the cup final? So losing a game that would have seen us win the real title wasn't worse than losing in a game which would have got us into the last 16/32 (can't remember which) of the Scottish cup?

Bull's-eye Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The club is over the Brora defeat, it's only the supporters now that seem to be wallowing in self pity and embarrassment. While it's fine to have a local rival to constantly beat and take the piss out of, it's certainly not high on my priority list to start giving a flying rubber duck what those spoon burners think of me. My advice to the poor souls who aren't over the defeat yet is to grow a pair of stones and stop feeling sorry for yourself. It makes football and life in general much more pleasant.

Heard the get it up em comment, knew he was most likely meaning the fans, went to bed and never thought about it till I seen this thread had hit 7 pages. My opinion on this, for all that it is worth or matters, is he has taken plenty stick recently (quite rightly so) and felt he was entitled to fire back. Now, the rights and wrongs of him doing that aside, it's always my thought with football (and other things in life) that if you dish it out, you have to take it back, regardless. Personally, I felt what he said and how he said it was ill-advised, he could have used it as a chance to build bridges, to say that was for the fans, that the team and him were sorry about the Brora result and standards dropping, etc. But he didn't, he took a perfectly normal human response and came across as petty and childish as a my wife in one of our arguments, which is his right. Now he has to constantly back it up or it will come back at him two fold. Can you imagine the response on here if he had said that was for the fans?

Dens was THE joint most heartbreaking result in our history but by no means the worst. Dundee were pushing for Europe. They were a bit of a bogey team for us. Had a decent record against us. We’d drawn with them twice that season. Kenny Black missed a penalty up there on a cold December Saturday first time we were there. Brora, part time non league team, hadn’t played in weeks before they went there. Some players had done a days graft before we played them. Wage difference between us and Dundee. Probably not that much in those days. Wage difference between us and part time non league Brora. Astronomical. I’d wager losing in cup to Forfar and East Stirling in league back in 80s were worse results than Dens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
