Thought Police Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Tomorrow is obviously the last game of the season and with it comes the usual "please stay to let the players show their appreciation for your support" lap. In the past this has gone down like a lead balloon because - quite frankly - some of our performances at the end of the season have been woeful. However, would be good to see as many people as possible stay an extra 10 minutes to give the boys a good send-off before the cup final. Regardless of result tomorrow, I think the players have earned that. Naturally, people may need to run off for other commitments or trains etc. before anyone jumps in.

Probably better if they stayed on the pitch and did it right after the final whistle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why as our performances in Glasgow haven't been that great - 1-1 draw at Ibrox apart. The joys of being a Hearts fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Great OP. Since 2016, other than starting 2018/19 on fire, Hearts have pretty much been a let down, especially in the run in. These guys deserve a good show of appreciation from the support tomorrow for a great (potentially excellent) season. If you can manage a minutes applause for Davie’s Gran’s dog, you can surely spare a minute at the end of tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trophy is deserved, I just really hope we lift that cup next weekend and underline where the club is and where it is now going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
