redm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This thread has actually cheered me up. One of my principal worries about Webster coming back was that it would damage the spirit that's around our club just now, in the dressing room and between teh players and fans. the current ggod run has seen a marked decline in the scapegoating of players and the OTT criticism that sometimes happens. I had major concerns that a portion of the support would immediately get on his back if he re-signed and would generate a negative atmosphere. Sounds like that is a very small minority. Me too. I don't like Webster for pretty obvious reasons but one of the things that concerned me most when I heard the news was that his mere presence would be a bit poisonous. I could no longer just adore this team unconditionally (most of the time), there would be wee moments when you'd catch yourself then have to rein in a bit of the enthusiasm just because you've remembered he's there too. Meh. People might not boo him too much but there would still be a bit of an odd atmosphere at times and the other players would pick up on it...a bit tense, a bit awkward. I don't want to have to think about it that much, I just want to cheer the lot of them on with wild abandon. Plus there's the issue of his track record/commitment to/hideous treatment of this club + his salary level...bit of a kick in the teeth to those in our squad who earn less but run themselves into the ground most of the time for Heart of Midlothian Football Club. I don't care what anyone says about that, they're definitely not all money grabbing selfish mercenaries. I definitely wouldn't boo him, but I might grumble darkly under my breath every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt his attitude is very different considering his experiences over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, to behave like that in the first place you have to have some serious nerve and probably no conscience whatsoever...and to walk back in to the same club just a few years afterwards could only be the work of someone with not one smidgen of shame in his entire body and a very high tolerance for abuse.

sandyseymour Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The funny thing is that the way I remember it, the people being most vocal about not wanting that slimey ***** back at Hearts are the same people who defended and wanted Mrowiec back... you've described me above .....and there's nowt funny about it....

jambonian Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Romanov was an interfering erse who should have kept to the background and not interfered with team matters, he's not qualified for that. What happened with Webster was between them and Romanov did the same in following years with Goncalves and even this season, with Zaliukas. I'd be very surprised if he did sign for us anyway, Scotland International, 28 years old, he'll get offered better money down South and he knows that. In our own League, he'll not get a better wage anywhere else, Hibs and Dundee Utd are interested so if it was on salary and contract alone, he's have signed for us already. Utd would probably be favouites to sign him as long as he wasn't being greedy after the season he had there and no bad feelings of the past there either. Hibs? well... if he signed for them then he really has reached rock bottom! Problem is that if he was pretty gash then you wouldn't want him anywhere near Hearts but he's a good player, even winning Utd's player of the year, Hearts can't afford to let these types of players slip away, especially as Bouzid is working his ticket oot the door anyway.

scott_jambo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This thread is not interesting, its just a pathetic troll. Which by the mods reaction to it, they would agree. I will say it one more time for the hard of thinking. WEBSTER IS NOT BIGGER THAN HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN F.C. the vast majority will not boo because Webster does not deserve to effect our team negatively. He hasn't earnt the right for any sort of reaction that effects Heart of Midlothian in a negative way. He has done enough damage. Ignore him. If he got a career ending injury on his debut, I wouldn't cheer, but I wouldn't shed any tears either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanes de Silentio Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 WEBSTER IS NOT BIGGER THAN HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN F.C. Of course, he isn't - no player is - I just can't see how booing the team or individual players can benefit anyone other than our opponents.
