iainmac Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You were doing so well until you mentioned "true fans" - cue the usual debate! FWIW I totally agree with your sentiments and will battle through the NE snow to get to Motherwell on Saturday. We could go 12 points ahead of the Hobos on Saturday - at least that would give us a retort to the 'admin' jibes - we'd still be above them.

If they can't muster up ?40k per week to pay the players now when these players have put together 5 wins on the trot then what is going to change by selling 1500 more tickets than we did last weekend ?

What other perspective is there to look at ?? When you mention Lithuania the only link is financial. They don't care about the club one bit - if they did they would't have dragged us down to the level we're at. Not being able to afford to pay players wages is a disgrace and shows very, very bad management. Thats not the first time I've used that phrase over the ;ast 2 and a bit years.

Legend Claws Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 That team have given us something we haven't had in yearts - pride! I was thinking about this last night and it would not surprise me if the likes of Christophe Berra are telling the rest of the dressing room to get their heads down and do it for the fans as we have been great over the last few games. Just do not let it slip in to the shocking booing or you may well see the players level of care slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToYouToMe Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 That is all we want from players really.

Dalstonjambo Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I really think what is being said here is the right attitude. We can't affect the finances (enough to sort out etc) but we can still let the players know we care. I realised something on the train on the way back from the huns game (you think when you have all these long journeys), namely that for the first time in a few years we had a group of players that were playing like I would if I wore that jersey, ie, they cared, and they were trying their bollox off. After the sacrifices and effort these guys have put in with all the stuff that's been going on, the very least they deserve is our backing.. so lets make sure every game from now until january we are right behind them.

redm Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yup. They have been awesome of late and considering the crap they're also having to put up with, they deserve our support more than ever.

Excellent post my man (had to do a quick edit there). For me it is getting tiresome, with those who have walked away saying they no longer recognise the club or it doesn't look like HMFC any more. Total BS as far as I am concerned and I would suggest that if you no longer recognise the team you went to watch up until a few months ago you buy yourself a new pair of feckin glesses. Team name hasn't changed, colour of strip hasn't changed, games are still played at Tynecastle, it is still the Heart of Midlothian Football Club, and the playing staff are not to blame for anything happening offfield. People are using the owner as a reason for not supporting the team, why under Romanov and not Robnison, who knows, but it adds more spice to the fact many are just using excuses for the statements they are trying to make. It is time to call it a day, you have made your fecking statements, now get your erses back along and support the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'sod the regime' we can debate another day (hopefully over a curry next week:)and to be fair you were not exactly a fan, with good reason, of the previous regime). However, your main point, that the current first team are good lads is absolutely spot on, and I fully expect HMFC's magnificent supporters to vociferously acknowledge this tomorrow.
