WeeToonJambo Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I said after the game at Fir Park a few weeks ago that I would not be going to any more away games. Unfortunately, being a bit senile, I forgot and kept on going, including today. The first 20 minutes were the worst I have ever seen from a Hearts team. They were a total shambles. From there on in though, I thought they were the better team, even when down to 9, and could have got a draw out of it. Looking at the penalty claim they should have got a draw. The referee was a disgrace. Incidentally, it's a bit rich for the OP to say the away support was a "disgrace" when he didn't bother to go himself, thus contributing to that "disgrace".

portobellojambo1 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The team were pish but it's also cheating the fans when it's not a fair match and ref is a ******. The strange thing is though The Boo that we actually came into the game more when we went down to 10 men, and then had another mini surge when we went down to 9 men. For the first 25/30 minutes of the match, when it was still 11 a side we were chronically awful. I know some are saying we could have got a draw (fact is we could have in reality), but it is possibly closer to the truth to say that if Hamilton had taken even some of the many, many chances they created that game could have ended up as a cricket score. They were taking the p*ss out of us for the first 30 minutes, and could have gone in at H/T 4 or 5 up. Then towards the end, after Bouzid went they again had countless chances to finish the game off as we had sort of given up all efforts to defend by that point (apart from Craig Thomson). Think Calum Elliot's run into the box in injury time was possibly only the third time we achieved that feat (one Jonsson scored from and one burst from Santana early on were the other limited offerings in an attacking sense).

sked21 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 At this moment in time I am absolutely raging I went especially since it was ?22 to get in. After the MOtherwell game a few weeks ago I was thinking only going to the away games every now and then because I wasn't enjoying watching us sit back and defend and try not to lose rather than try to win. I have since been to Kilmarnock and Hamilton. After 25 minutes I was already composing a letter to Csaba and Heart of Midlothian (in my head) to ask for my money back. And a list of reasons why.

I went to that match at Motherwell. First away game in 4 years, usually working and it'll be the last again for a long time. Last time i was there, was 97/98 and watched as we thumped them 4-1 think we scored 4 against them the second game at Fir Park too that season but while i was sitting watching that garbage a few weeks back i couldn't help thinking back to the good old days.

Not only the attendances are dropping but the apathy amongst the crowd who actually go is noticeable. Thing is it's not just Laszlos football, it's been like this for a few years really. If we had not been grinding out the results, despite the mind-numbing football ,last season I would have expected the same response from the fans. I don't blame anyone who doesn't go and I completely applaud those who do - I haven't been for a few months as money is tight and when it's nearly ?20 per game, well there are just other things I need to spend it on.

I got a fair bit of stick on here for criticising Laszlo last season. His flaws were there last year but we were grinding out those results - some of them due to the return of Bruno and Neilson - and others through incredible luck. We've not carried any luck this season - but Laszlo isn't any different. His football is rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlo Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I was there - and well done to the others that made it through. Sadly, today's performance, result and turnout summed up everything that is wrong with HMFC at the moment. I just wish those who ran the club knew how painful it is for those of us who care about the club to see it being dragged through the mud like this.

Charlie-Brown Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Bad football, early sunday kick off, pre-xmas, live tv all will have had a negative effect on the attendance but mostly it's the poor football produced by manager/team. I once went to an away league cup tie at Kilbowie where the total attendance was only 539 so I guess that must have been one of the lowest away supports that night - our club shared a bus with 2 other supprters clubs that night and there was still only 13 people including myself on it - 84-85 season I think?

Saint Jambo Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've been living outside of Scotland for the best part of 7 years so I've got some making up to do. But as I sat in the stand today I was struck by how poor it all was. First visit to New Douglas Park and it wouldn't look out of place in the League of Wales. Aberystwyth's ground is comparable, but at least there you can choose to jump up and down on the terracing to keep warm. The cameras made it look like a subutteo stadium, where you could only afford 1 stand, but have still bought all the accessories. The tactics from both teams would be better suited to rugby - defend in numbers, occaisonally lump the ball up the pitch and look scared of the forward pass or carrying the ball into space. The level of skill shown by Hamilton (like St Johnstone two weeks ago) were shocking. The number of times they passed the ball straight out of play and their inability to score in the second half was like watching a game in the local park. Hearts have better quality players but approached the game like a pre-season friendly with no effort and refused to press the ball for the first 30minutes. The referee was like when you give a parent the whistle at a kids game, they don't know the rules and can't help but favour their own team. The atmosphere was rubbish too. I think the first song to take off was 'your not fit to wear the shirt' when we went 2-0 down. Only picked up in the second half because we could all have a good scream at the ref. I might have been spolied by mainly watching Premiership football from in the pub for the last few years, but at ?22 a head they were lucky to get as many as they did.

boabyarsebiscuit Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Not long back, with no bus running it was a train job and we stayed behind in Hamilton for a bevvy. First 20 minutes we could have been 4 down. But we weren't. At the end we were only denied by a complete cheat of a referee. Heard about the "afters" second hand from a Hamilton non-playing sub (who was a complete gent by the way) on the train back to Central. Anyway. I'm glad I went today. Don't want a medal or anything. But definitely glad I went. Full marks to all my fellow Hearts fans who also made the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
