superjack Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I voted no. I think we should collect it then go straight down the tunnel with it. I understand why folk feel like this though, the way we were treated last season etc. Stick with giving no cash to the teams that fecked us over, let them see how much they miss the maroon pound, especially when they see the crowds we will take to teams like caley, partick etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 As fans we want this to happen but the players will probably celebrate as like others have said it might be there only chance of winning silverware in their careers, that kind of says everything about most of the players we currently have.

clanmac Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Spent the last day saying we should leave it on the stand and walk away, but in all honesty I'm now thinking we may just look like a petty little club. Unless we have massive changes next season we may be straight back down with egg on our faces. Take the cup with dignity and don't go overboard.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) If every player sanitised their hands before picking it up would be fine then straight in the cabinet, it may be the only championship that some of these players win in their careers and certainly will be as the class of 21 of which they could wear a t-shirt, with a message to Doncaster "£400, 000 salary a year Doncaster!

Voice of reason Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I understand the reasoning behind doing this but I think this would be unsporting behaviour not fitting for our stature in the game. Surely a professional club has to rise above this and leave the petty actions to our fans, which we will do very well and with long memories, and the club simply act professionally. I coach at a youth football club and we go on at the kids all the time about shaking hands with the ref at the end, and with the opponents etc. whatever has gone on before. Honestly, I’d be absolutely cringing if a Hearts team acted like petty supporters and not professionals. Such a bad example to set. Just my opinion. (Nothing wrong with being a petty supporter by the way! I can hold grudges as long as the next person! 😀) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottieMac17 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 They put us down and we fought to get back up.

DETTY29 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) If 'leave it on the stand' leads to the club doing the bare minimum (25 players, coaching staff collect medals, pick up 'not 'lift') head straight back to dressing rooms, even with Naismith taking the trophy to do as they please, within covid guidelines, then job done.

I'm far from convinced winning this tin pot league which no-one knows whether we would have been in if games played out, barely half a dozen good to decent performances; still no idea on our best formation; some of and the worst result in our history; no player improved, the vast majority regressed, is coming far in a short space of time, I'm beyond a tad concerned.

Tokyo Drifter Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 For some of these players it's the only trophy they'll ever lift so I think it's unfair to pressure them into not accepting it. Granted they haven't always covered themselves in glory this season but they have won the league by a fair margin and they deserve every playing accolade that's coming to them within that context. I say enjoy the day - and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Shouldn’t even be adding it to our honours list. It will forever be a reminder of how badly we have been mismanaged, for a club with our budget to end up in this division is laughable. It’s a disgrace, I would like to just move quietly forwards and try and put this sorry episode (and wasted millions) behind us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dia Liom Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I didn't and won't celebrate the league win in any way. Thinking about this season, I've only really celebrated the odd goal due to the farce of last season's vote putting us in the champ, and probably no fans being at the games has an influence too. Couldn't care less what the players + management do. They should celebrate however they want. Disagree with those saying, "We shouldn't stoop to their level" "We should smile and celebrate as normal", etc. Us being in the championship was not a normal football decision. Regardless of whether you are over the events of last year, winning the champ this season - despite being a big step in putting things right from our end - isn't cause for any great celebration.

1953 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It's up to the club and the players how they celebrate (or don't). They won it so they can do what they want. Ok, we were royally shafted by all and sundry last year but nobody else is bothered or even understands why we are all upset about it, so please lets forget about all the petty stuff that'll just make us look exactly that, petty.

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Should be up to the players. The board have no right to dictate how the players celebrate a title that they won.
