kingdannyb Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I never leave games early but if we finish in the bottom six and have no big teams or europe or ANYTHING to play for, what is the point of going ?

That man is the most optimistic pain in the ass hearts supporter I've ever had the misfortune to go to games with! He's sat through the whole 90 minutes of every crap result we've had in the last few years while I've retired early to the pub and is by no measure of the imaginination an 'glory seeker'. But feel free to resort to petty point-scoring in a thread which raises a fairly interesting discussion point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibpc Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 There was certainly precious little to get excited about today. Falkirk seemed more intent on "getting a result", closed us down quickly, passed amongst themselves efficiently and were more dangerous on the break, sometimes from all players in their own third of the pitch. We didn't get on top of them, tried to play a passing game but got harried out of it, made no outright chances hardly had a long-range shot and had no plan B. A tactician on the bench and two strikers on the pitch please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laranjinha Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I will go to every game. I am hoping for Inverness away, Aberdeen away and Gretna at Livvy for the away games. Killie and St Mirren at home. That will do me nicely - home games are pish. I'll still go, but Tynecastle these days is a depressing place to watch the Fuhrer's hand-picked dross.

kingdannyb Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have left one home game early in the last three years and pride myself in being there for the full 90 minutes despite getting humped 4-0 at home to Rangers or United or whoever but every now and then the players and management need to know how upset we are by not turning up. I haven't decided yet but this team is so poor that maybe they need to be shown how pi55ed we are all with their performances for the (apparant) third force in the country.

SHow the players you support them no matter, and are not just a success desperate glory seeker. People like you should not reall go to any games, your attitude stinks. This is not a fair or valid point. As we are all more than aware all we want is for our football club to be run within its means the best that it can. This we are not getting but are paying for. Everyone within Hearts still gains financially. The management and players still get paid no matter how poor the performance. Money wise we the supporters are the only losers. Why should we continue to support this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish1979 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I haven't decided yet but this team is so poor that maybe they need to be shown how pi55ed we are all with their performances for the (apparant) third force in the country. TBH, I think we need to get rid of the "third force" idea. We could have been 2 seasons ago, IF things had carried on the way they were going. At the moment, we're pesh poor. If we don't make the top 6, it's because the players on the park have been beaten there by at least 6 better clubs - whether it's down to better coaching and tactics, more talented squads, better team spirit or all of the aforementioned. We can quite truthfully say that we've seen nothing of those three vital factors from our team this season. On the face of it, they look like a bunch that are thouroughly fecked off with their jobs and are going through the motions every week until they get their summer holidays. Or has the weegia got them so down that they know that they're damned if they do and damned if they don't? Do they suffer from the same sort of misinformation that we do? I'm normally fairly positive about our team, and I'll never be ashamed to call myself a jambo, but I do feel a wee cringe from time to time when the guys on the park have promising runs of two or three games before reverting to the (now) usual gutless pap that we tend to see these days, feeding oxygen theives like chick dung so that thy can dribble on about our inevitable demise and our psychotic, meddling owner. Managers are - for 90 minutes on most weeks - irrelevant. Frail isn't telling them to go out and lose - at least I hope he isn't. If I get told to do something at work, I do my utmost to do it to the best of my ability. Our players don't seem to be doing anything "to the best of their ability". I can handle losing. I've actually enjoyed a few games that we haven't won. I detest seeing people that (IMO) are overpaid at the worst of times looking like what they do doesn't matter. Fans will go or they won't, and I don't think there will ever be a time when we're all 100% happy, but I think the time has passed for the "better fan" debate. It's less a case of "supporting" these days. It's more of an endurance test..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I haven't decided yet but this team is so poor that maybe they need to be shown how pi55ed we are all with their performances for the (apparent) third force in the country. I will continue to attend our games through to the end of the season. Was listening to a discussion on Talk107 Friday evening about the above subject, and had to agree with the summing up from those in the studio. A Hearts fan had contacted them indicating we were still playing to relatively full houses, had the highest earning players outside the OF so were still the third force in Scottish football. The studio response reflected my thoughts, i.e. the size of your support means nothing, the wage bill means nothing, your status and position in footballing terms is determined by results on the park. Unfortunately in my eyes, and according to the up to date league table, we are far from the third force, or apparent third force, in Scottish football at this time. To be recognized as the third force in Scotland is a right which must be earned on the park, at the moment the team are not even earning their salaries.

Cobblers Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I feel a bit guilty posting a view on this as I haven't been to as many games as those who have had enough this season, due to where I live. I did buy a season ticket this year which I've not used anywhere near enough. If I don't renew it will be more to allow someone else to have the ticket, than as a protest. All I can say is that when I lived in Scotland I went whether we had anything to play for or not. I was one of 4000 who watched Eric Carruthers score against East Fife in a meaningless match at Tynie. It was a worthless match but I did meet Tommy Wlaker outside the ground so for that alone it was worth it. He told me and my mates to stick by the club and despite all the dissappointments I've seen the good days will always outweight the bad ones.

chester copperpot Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Romanov has my money, therefor I've given my support to the club for the season. Whether I am there or not is neither here nor there. The atmosphere in Tynecastle this season has been dire, anyone who thinks by turning up is showing their support is wrong, as we never seem to sing, therefor that argument is a no starter. I want to be wrong, but I dont think I am. Support is singing songs and getting a rousing atmosphere going. I only like away matches now, but thats more the social gathering before and chatting with my mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got rid of the larger part of my post, and kept the bit you seemed to have missed. In fact, I have emboldened the key bit. As for the correlation you have made about "playing well" and "enjoyment", you obviously decided to make up your own mind as to what I term "enjoyment" when it comes to our team. Yes, I enjoy it when we play well, I enjoy it more when we win, I STILL enjoy it when we play bad and lose, unfortunately, I don't enjoy it when we are robbed blind by a hamstrung side that will not try. I will sidestep the usual "better fan" bit as it is below me, if it weren't below me, I would suggest that at least I was doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
