Boris Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The standing ovation any returning hero deserves Perhaps he may deserve that, however after his chest thumping antics i doubt he would get it. A character that definitely polarises opinion! Which is a shame, given his years of sterling service to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigandy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 There would be some boos but I would hope not that many. On the subject of half time returns for players I'd love to see Mickey Cameron and Anti Niemi back. Mickeys back up in Scotland now and injured at the moment and Anti is retired so both should be possibilities. Think they would both get 100% positive receptions!!!!

redjambo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Oh god, not another random "I love Pressley" or "I hate Pressley" thread. Have we nothing else to talk about? For the record, and like a moth to the flame, I think he gave sterling service to us and should be appreciated greatly for that, but he is now part of Hearts' past. That may change in the future if he ever comes back to us in any capacity, but for the moment let's just concentrate on the present situation and the present players, no?

Alan Lawrence and Brian McNaughton were the half time guests last week. Part of Hearts' past. And recognised at half time last week. Just as the guests are every week. And a nice touch it is too. Hopefully the likes of Mickey, Anti and Elvis will get their turn this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I took a long time-out from JKB and when I left it seemed every second thread was on about Elvis even though he was long departed. I'd hate to think nothing had changed. I think that it would seem more natural though to invite ex-Hearts players that have finished their playing careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'd give him the respect a cup-winning captain deserves. It's not like there has been that many of them.

So, why has he never came out and explained his actions were 'allegedly' directed to vlad and explain why he banged the chest facing their fans and not the main stand where Vlad would have been seated if he were at the match? PS i do understand thats not a question you personally can actually answer. He knows what he did but has NEVER made any attempt to explain his actions nor apologise the the Hearts fans for his lack of respect. If he did that perhaps some would regain some respect for him.

His only regret was not signing for Celtic when he had the chance to 3years previous. *i am only saying what i was told by someone who was in our company at a corporate day out at a Hearts match** when the topic of Pressley came up and that maybe he regretted the chest thumping event, he just told us what Pressley had said in his company when asked if he regretted upsetting Hearts fans with his chest thumping moment, this was asked at a Celtic function at Parkhead, so that has to be taken into consideration also.

To be fair I have no problem with Paul, he has never shown us anything but respect. highlight of the day for me. I've no problem with any of them. But then I'm the same with Webster and ritchie. I judge them on what they did whilst at HMFC. And on that front, I have no complaints over any of the players mentioned (hartley, webster, ritchie or pressley). If we had more in the team right now with the sort of commitment that Hartley, Webster, Pressley and Ritchie showed on the park for HMFC, then we wouldn't be in the position we are in.

Johanes de Silentio Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'd welcome Elvis - there was a major problem with discipline in the dressing room - we all wondered about it - Elvis chose to speak out about it - there are still all sorts of rumours about dressing room indiscipline, what with Larry, Berra, Zaluseless, etc. I don't blame Elvis for speaking out - whether he, Gordon and Heartley should have hi-jacked a club press-conference is another matter. If we wouldn't welcome Elvis, then why would we welcome Gordon? Both players were behind the Riccarton statement. We can't have double standards, can we? Elvis's biggest crime, of course, was signing for Glasgow Celtic, where he won honours and earned a fortune - the *******! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Gambo, the most ardent Vlad defender on JKB, in a not backing Elvis post!!! SHOCKED. I don't think he ever did anything wrong. Where did i not back or even back Elvis in this thread? I told you something i was told that was different to something another poster was told. I made it clear that this was told in front of a Celtic minded audience (which is understandable). I personally think Pressley was wrong to thump his chest the way he did that afternoon, but i had no problem with him giving his best in a Celtic shirt for 90mins. Do i think Pressley holds our fans or our club in the high esteam(spell?) that some think he does.........no. Pressley imo will see us in the same way as he sees Rangers/Rangers fans, Coventry/Coventry fans, Utd/Utd fans, Celtic/Celtic fans in that we were a club he spent some good years of his career with.

Hypocritical? Of course not. It's not really the same situation. The point in the "easily offended" stuff is that most of the songs argued about on here have no lyrics which should be offensive to a reasonable person. Of course, it's really the "us and them" mentality that I was getting at in your post. If you were in a totalitarian dictatorship, you'd probably be looking down on the downtrodden masses in no time. If we wouldn't welcome Elvis, then why would we welcome Gordon? Because Gordon didn't come back to Tynecastle with our biggest enemies and pump his chest. He isn't a Jhudas.
