Push the academy and in two three years time I think you will see a big difference. Caveat that with the OF will be in a league of their own though.

The Women's team is every bit a part of Hearts as a club and we should never ever accept a lower standard than Hibs. We need some real investment to lift the team to where it should be: competing with Glasgow and the old firm, never mind setting our standard at the bottom half of the league. Finishing at the bottom this year is hugely dissapointing. Something's going badly wrong and people are a bit too precious about calling it out...IMHO No it’s not the extent of the ambition ffs , but this season has been a harsh learning process Something has gone wrong ? Young team in comparison to most of not all the others , other teams who have a minimum of 2 years top league experience remember .

Mikey1874 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 On 27/05/2021 at 10:42, Niemi’s gloves said: Not so sure about that. A superior goal difference of 9 is not that huge in the women’s game with two games to go. Glasgow have relatively tough games against Spartans and Rangers to come; Celtic have games against two of the three weakest teams, Forfar and Motherwell. If Glasgow win against Spartans but lose by a similar margin versus Rangers, they could quite easily be caught on GD. You could see on Scott Booth’s face last night that he wasn’t a very happy man: I’d guess he expected to win by a lot more than 4-1. Still all to play for. Celtic improved goal difference by 6 and now just 4 goals behind Glasgow now. Glasgow just need a draw versus Rangers next Sunday. Rangers out of it but can help Celtic win the league.

Once again though if the first team were doing well then funding the women’s team wouldn’t be an issue. There’s no doubt it’s tough , combining work, training and playing. For those of us who know what the girls / women put into their football the comment that winds me up the most isn’t the league position, results or even the debate about the funding but the comments on the shape of the girls/women physically and to an extent their fitness . The effort that Hearts women put in is the maximum that they as part time players can do . From a personal point I watch my daughter and admire the work she puts in for the team and her university work and her part time job . From a supporters view I fully appreciate the commitment the women’s section put in from the head coach to the youngest player especially given that each week must be at times soul destroying, but they just keep picking themselves up and carrying on .

For those of us who know what the girls / women put into their football the comment that winds me up the most isn’t the league position, results or even the debate about the funding but the comments on the shape of the girls/women physically and to an extent their fitness . The effort that Hearts women put in is the maximum that they as part time players can do .

I think there’s a general misunderstanding of how dedicated they are, and obviously seeing they are bottom without knowing the whole story is disappointing. You obviously have a fair level of dedication yourself so you deserve praise for that and I’m sure your daughter appreciates it. Some of them might not want to go full time either if they’ve got good jobs or prospects. Let’s hope they keep progressing and more funding can be given to them.
