Skivingatwork Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 In order to properly vent our current disatisfaction at the state of affairs within HMFC we need a song. Mumblings and grumblings on JKB and post match rants in the pub are, and always will, go un-noticed. A song, however, will gain support and catch on with the masses at Tynecastle. This will allow all fans to deliver a single-minded message to the club on a continual basis. Yes, I appreciate that Vlad doesn't attend the games but the consistency of the message and it's delivery would eventually filter it's way over to the Kaiser and his interest would be piqued. If we truly want him to consider his position and sell up, the only way to do it is by continually letting him know that as a result of his actions, and recently lackthereof, he's not welcome. So far no negative songs have been penned regarding our owner. Friends, I believe the time has now come. Cue the songwriters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.N.T.H. Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Liverpool sung one about Hicks and Gillett last year. "They don't care about Rafa, they don't care about the fans... Liverpool football club is in then wrong hands". Pretty effective and pretty good allround. Youtube it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I thought the booing was working already. The team haven't performed in months and I am sure that's partly down to the hard work by the boo boys. Good to see fans trying to up the ante with a boo song. If you really want to send Vlad a message you have to stop going to games. That's all he'll notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think that Vlad will be running to hand out transfer fees because his favourite fans are singing a song about him? Better off accepting that nothing will change and going to games with the intention of having a laugh with your mates and who gives a **** how bad the team are. Hearts over-all have always been crap - a couple of sparkling moments have kidded some people on that Hearts should be world beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could catch on Pres/PB - out of interest, do you have a tipping point which would ever turn you into being anti-Romanov? If Hearts got relegated, would that be it? If we got relegated and stayed down, would that be it? Or would you always be supportive of him regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The problem with these Kickback protest movements is that it's kind of lazy and very disposable. I would have much more respect for them if I actually saw an organised protest in the flesh. That could be leafleting, demos, marches, sit-ins, singing, banners etc. So far, I haven't seen ANY protest of Romanov in the flesh. Sorry, but sitting in your livingroom typing on a pc doesn't cut it for me. By all means, use the internet: but take to the streets if you want to get noticed. Let's face it, anyone can type any type any old crap on Kickback. The reason I say that is that you have jokers like Fabuloso (or was it 'Y2Ketc') who was stirring it for long enough when it turns out he's a Hibernian supporter. Anyway, as for a song. What about nice power ballad; Whitney Houston or something? 'I believe the children are our future...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take your chances if you like, I'm realistic, and I'd rather the Hearts survived. Apart from anything else, I've seen alot worse than I have at the moment, maybe your sort are hoping if the club dies, you can go and support a more successful team, might suit you better.

It is not about being scared of him pulling the plug but showing him some appreciation, being thankful. You don't have to like him. He gets as long as he wants because of the mess we were in when he bought the club. If everything was rosy when he bought Hearts from CPR then everyone would have been angry at him a long time ago.

If everything was rosy when he bought Hearts from CPR then everyone would have been angry at him a long time ago. It wasn't like that. Again - this argument appears to suggest that we should always be appreciative of him as long as the club continues to exist, no matter what happens on the pitch. That makes it woefully weak IMO. Yes, he bought the club four or five years ago; but that's past. The present and future are what counts - and to many people, both currently appear pretty bleak. He was more than happy to lap up the adulation when he "saved" us, and we finished 2nd and won the Cup. He should be prepared to deal with the criticism too. It goes with being owner of any club; not just our one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was extremely popular when he took over, and enjoyed much praise and support up until about the year 2000, I went off him when he sacked Jim Jefferies, but didn't protest against him until he decided to attempt to sell Tynecastle, even then it wasn't personal though, as he had got himself into a situation where he had no option.

NIT interviewed Robinson in November 1998. I'd say he was already unpopular, even just six months on from winning the Cup - largely because of his shocking PR and arrogant, brusque dismissal of fans' views.
