Thats fair I think. Brora will be brought up by hobos the same way Dens is. It will fade over time though as we were Championship  (if that makes sense). Dens will never fade and will never hurt any less. Brora will. 

[Longbaws]

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.

Small rabble you say? Can’t be ersed looking for the poll but I’m quite sure of the 1000 odd folk who voted over 90% want him jettisoned. I’d also say that poll is reflective of the wider support. 
 

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.

So to sum up the case for robbies defence.

 

1. Brora result was only third worst result in the history of the club ( im assuming you were there against kilmarnock?)

 

2.  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. 
 

AM & JJ are IMO the only two managers in our history who should be given the keys to Tynecastle.

I think you know exactly what is meant. Not only was it the most embarrassing result in our history, when you consider the guys who worked at greggs and co hadn’t been able to train or play for months - it was the most embarrassing result in the entire history of Scottish football.. . There has never been a bigger upset and i include Rangers loss to Berwick Rangers in the 70’s.

 

it was absolutely disgusting. He shouldn’t have been allowed on the bus.

Aye getting horsed by a team of teachers and plumbers who hadn't played for 3 months, in fact they'd only had 3 training sessions (after their day jobs of course) and a kick about friendly, is definitely not the worst result in our history. 

The worst and most embarrassing. 

 

He should have been sacked at full time that night. That he wasn't is a measure of how low the standards are at Hearts.

Disagree. For instance, nobody out with Hearts will recall us getting beat off Dunfermline in the first round of the cup after we won it in 2006. Everyone will remember we were papped off the crofters for decades to come.

No club in Scottish football has ever suffered a bigger humiliation, I’m not even sure there has been a bigger humiliation ever in British or European football.

This falling on your sword doesn’t really exist in football there’s not many managers who simply walk away there’s too much money at stake, he should’ve been sacked. 
 

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.

[Cade]

One decent result against the worst team in the league.

 

Six months of being total pish.

Being dumped out of one of the two domestic cups by the very same team.

Being dumped out of the other domestic cup by a bunch of part timers.

It is a silly point. 3.5.86 and 24.4.65 (and 1.1.73)  were huge disappointments but far from the worst results in our history.

85/86 in particular was a monumental achievement by a team that worked hard and played attractive football.

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? Ok then if that's what you think, I disagree.

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.

Watch the game and interviews at the end. 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.

I know when I experience something embarrassing I just love recalling it and highlighting it constantly, and picking over every tiny detail, instead of doing my best to forget it. Forget the bad results and revel in the good ones is a good football watching philosophy to live by. I can't relate to any Hearts fan who even wants to mention the word Brora. The same way Hibs fans will never willingly bring up 5-1 even amongst themselves.

3.5.86

If you think that losing at Dens was worse than losing to Brora then you’re delusional.

 

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.
