Dr. Bapswent Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well done all those Hearts fans who traveled through to the game, to boo the players, including the youngsters. Really showing them what its like to play for Hearts, and that the support is right behind them, even in meaningless friendlies when the new manger is getting to know the squad. I hope the confidence boost makes them all look forward to the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager's been in for a week and we are booing his second game in charge which is an early pre-season FRIENDLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have, they always will. At a friendly, with a lot of young players in the squad? Csaba was appointed less than 1 week ago. He has yet to appoint an assistant, or purchase any players of his chosing. At the moment he is just familiarising himself with the squad he's inherited and sussing them out. I don't think booing the team at half time at his first game on Scottish soil is likely to have been particularly useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTBCAL Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It was not the best tonight - by any stretch. Good turnout by Hearts - but a few booing at half time was OTT.

Feg9 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Tonight was dreadful. Really really really boring. And in the 1st half we were ridiculously inept. Lets not get all over the top about the "booing". There was a a small brief "boo...get a grip Hearts" type shouting on the half time whistle......lasted about 3 seconds. Hardly worth mentioning and I very much doubt the young players confidence has been shattered!!!.......I suppose they'd need some confidence to shatter first! We were quite a bit better in the 2nd half. But then that wasn't hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Awful game of football.... but some folk really need to get a grip, some of the abuse / boo's were actually laughable. Its our second pre-season friendly. We were guff. We now have to try and sort that in time for the start of the season. Its nothing we didnt already know so frankly, i see no need to boo something which we were already aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm finding it difficult to get myself worked up about a few wee boo's TBH. So there was some kids playing. I doubt their self confidence will be shattered by a smattering of cat calls from a sparse Hearts support. If it is, maybe pro football isn't the game for them. Anyway, it might get them prepared for their inevitable first public lambasting at Tynie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual it comes from fans who were not there Friendlies who ever you play against regardless of the prestige of the opposition always ends up being poor , so if you go take it with a pinch of salt ( skill factor ) However if its about effort -mark the card straight away , you are representing the Heart Of Midlothian and whenever you pull on that jersey -you wear with pride and show passion and commitment and no matter what the event is you give 100% , and realise another season like the last will not be tolerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It was horrendous. Then again hopefully it'll be the best thing possible. Csaba has now seen how bad they really are and will hopefully do something about it. Many things that have happened over the past two years have papered over cracks, but now we actually have a manager, he'll hopefully have the power to change it.

Jambof3tornado Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I boo'd and dont make any excuse for doing so. I paid a tenner to get in and deserve to see a team who can at least try and look like they give a toss. Too many fluffed passes and to those who keep going on about a young team it wasnt a young team,there were a couple of young players in ther but it was mostly a team of expected starters for the league who didnt look like they had even SEEN a football before,never mind play with one!!! Mole and Chesney did ok,Stewart was less than woeful,Wallace was terrible(come back Jose all is forgiven),Audrey was unimpressive,Glen was lonely,Zaliukas was inept and gave the ball away more times that I could count,Ruben was not in the game,anyone I missed out didnt even deserve to be slated. No positives at all from that and its pointless teaching the players 5 formations when they cant pass a ball 5 yards to each other. One thing I will say,I am hopeful that Csaba will come out and tell it like it was and not butter it up as some great display(in a frail type way),but I will wait and see what he comes out with. A lot of people paid good money to see that game and Hearts failed to deliver,pre season friendly or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimura Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The idea that this was a squad choc-full of youngsters is rubbish. Banks, Karipidis, Berra, Zaliukas, Wallace, Stewart, Cesnauskas, Audrey, Palazuelos all played for big chunks of last season...they are seasoned pro's not "youngsters" making their first foray into the world of professional football. As for the booing...people need to keep a grip. This was a friendly and given that we have not had a manager until last week we are WAY behind in terms of tactics, fitness and form. I have no reason to believe that Csaba had anything to do with the selection of the teams...he will be relying on people from last year to point him in the right direction. My hope is that he saw what I saw tonight and that was a team that is well short of the quality required...we have no right back, no left back, no right midfielder, no left midfielder, no ball carrying midfielder, no forwards and we lack leadership and experience. On a side note the quicker someone puts Stewart out of his misery the better for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we just sit back and do nothing, this entire farce will continue. I was at the game and I must say I was disgusted by the incompetence, how they can call themselves pro footballers is beyond me. Out of the original 11 players that took the field, I reckon 4 of them deserve to pull the jersey on, the rest should be looking at alternative careers, maybe butchers or clowns perhaps.

What do you expect them to be applauded off the park at half time!? Wasnt really much booing at the end, everyone just moped off, but i suppose you wouldn't know that.

shaun.lawson Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I certainly don't think much of the booing - though I imagine an element of it must have come from people who are understandably unconvinced that this really is a fresh start. It's up to the club through its actions, and the team through its displays and results, to gradually win them back. I've never booed my own team's players at a game, and never will, as I think it achieves nothing; and booing at a preseason game seems utterly daft. But it probably owes much more to the cynicism created by the last two years than anything that happened tonight. Not that I'm in any real position to comment, mind you. Because there's no competitive edge in pre-season games, loads of subs are allowed and so on, I've always considered my attendance at any such match would signal my having crossed the fine line separating sadness from madness. I'm still, just, on the right side of that line - well, I hope so, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
