heartsfc_fan Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I looked at the crowds last night in the Carling cup: West Ham - 10,000 (they normally get 35,000 every week!) Blackburn - 8,000 Fulham - 7,000 Notts Forest v Sunderland - 9,000 Bit of a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEE Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 How many people who want the so called diddy cup scrapped would turn up to see Hearts parade the trophy should we win it? Time for a reality check. Hearts only real chance of silverware at the moment is in cup competitions. That is of course if we can sign someone who can score goals.

There are only 2 trophies Hearts can win. Get real. Any club getting to the final can make around 1m, not money Hearts can turn there nose up at. Last night was a crap performance and there are no real excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 No, keep the cup, but make it mixed-sex teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanky Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It's not a diddy cup for the "wee teams" that have beaten spl over the past 2 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As has been alluded to it is one of only two chances per season we have at a trophy (unless we still had GB as manager!!!) so it must stay. Crap we were and we have to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phage Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Scrap it and have a Brittish Cup instead. It might muster up more interest than the CIS or Carling Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Our record in this competition is as shameful in its way as Hibs in the big cup, especially given the OF lack of interest in it in recent decades. After winning it 4 times in 8 years (and 4 times in the first 17 years of its existence) we have gone 46 years without a win (or 47 the way we count Hibs' big cup performance). I can only think of one occasion in those 47 years when we even came close to winning it. I don't think we are in any position to call it a Diddy Cup.

Susie-Jambo-66 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It would be a totaly different story if we were still in it . Exactly. Scotland has 3 trophies up for grab..........I want Hearts to win any of them............Even the diddy Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieholt Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It's not a diddy cup for the "wee teams" that have beaten spl over the past 2 nights. Indeed, wee teams like Rath Rovers, Livie and Hibs have won the damned thing in the recent past ! Just proves that the other teams and the fans just don't care . . .

Le Chat Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If they made it that you could only play Scots and Under 23's it might regenerate a bit of interest. Its dying on its arse at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Give the team winning it a European place. Dropping the Euro qualification devalued the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
