Snake Plissken Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I misunderstood the OP in my vote. Of course there should be a Pressley banner. The greatest club captain since Dave McKay. Welcome back anytime Elvis. As did I - wonder if there were a few others that did that too. Yes we should replace it, I thought it meant replace it with another player.

Rods Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 To believe Romanov IS Heart of Midlothian is tragic. GMAN think you misunderstood my point Romanov is currently in charge of the club who by the way saved tynecastle. He is still currently paying all the wages at the club. I meant if he gets it up romanov he gets it up us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man (and the other Riccarton 2) dragged us through to 2nd place and a cup final win, when it was all falling apart. He was also immense in seasons before that. Owning the club shouldn't necessarily mean putting blame on others who have a real feeling for the club just to absolve you from blame for a stinking confrontational attitude to everyone.

Eckauskas Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Only if the committee of 25 real Hearts fans convene at Robertson's bar and approve the motion unanimously. Of course it should be replaced, the banners are for Hearts' legends and there was no greater Hearts legend than Steven Pressley in the last decade. That is easily the most ridiculous statement I have ever read on here. What absolute tosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Elvis is in the Hearts Hall of Fame; rightly and deservedly so. I tend to agree with GMAN, although I'd suggest his (significant) contribution was for less than a decade, he most certainly epitomised all that is right and proper about our club while serving as captain - with distinction.

Pilmuir Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 He was voted a legend and remains a legend. Legends sometimes move on and play for other clubs and even celebrate a win for their current employers. Guys who have fought for Hearts the way Pressley did should always be welcome back at Tynecastle. We have a fickle section of our support with very short memories. No doubt Velicka will get the treatment as well. But before he does, we should remember it was Vlad who moved him on (like Pressley). Who could blame him for having a dig at the mad one when he returns to Tynie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It was a moment of stupidity from Pressley, I don't think you'll hear anyone arguing otherwise. However do you honestly believe that that one incident overwrites all of the positive things that Steven Pressley did for out club? If you do, that in my opinion, is much smaller minded. How many Scottish cup winning captains do Hearts have? If he wasn't aiming it at the fans, why has he never come out and apologised for ofending us? He's bound to know how a lot of us feel about it.

Presley the celtic groveler orchestrated his move through that interview:mad: so he could join a club who's fans at best hated him, though that didny stop him running up to them begging for acceptance to which they laughed at, no self respect what so ever Had Elvis left the park that day without trying to be accepted by supporters who despise him then i would have thought 'nice one'Nope he had to run up to them at the same time sticking two fingers up(not literally, well maybe:p)and that is unforgivable, a legend never a crawler deffo:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Avoiding the question?Pressley's actions had the appearance of a massive "**** You" to Hearts and the supporters. He should have known that. If he didn't he isn't the clear thinking leader he is portrayed as. Why don't you answer instead of making cheap jibes? Christ, the man was our best captain in aeons, keeping our team together despite the tinkering and idiocy VR was foisting on them. That he gave 100% for his new team against his old club - would you have expected anything less? Sure his GIRUY at VR was perhaps mis-interpreted, perhaps a daft thing but so what. Do all these 'haters' now cringe when they re-watch our cup win and watch our greatest Captain in years hold the Scottish Cup aloft? I'm proud to have designed the huge Pressley flag and the Captain Fantastic T-shirts, the man is nearly the dictionary definition of a legend.

The very fact that some posters would like it to be put back up just to annoy people they disagree with is reason enough for it not to go back up. It's no use having individual posters telling us that they spoke to Pressley and how he said he was misunderstood. It's up to the man himself to publicly talk about the chest thumping moment.

The Mighty Thor Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The banner should be replaced as soon as possible. It shouldn't be a point of debate really and Hearts should under no circumstances be pandering to the unfortunately large number (it would appear from the poll) of narrow minded, bitter and twisted individuals that base their hatred of Pressley on the fact he signed for Celtic.

Two minor points; 1. Is that Paul Hartley or Jhohn Phaul Hhartley as he was formerly known by many of a certain persuasion around these parts? 2. Pressley despised by the vast majority of Hearts fans? Not according to the poll or indeed any Hearts fans i know. Do you mean the Hearts (sic) fans that drink in a certain public house?
