Personally I wont be booing Webster but it aint because anything that Rent-A-Quote says. These folks at the federation, trust et'al really seem to get off on this spokesman status that the likes of the EEN gives them. Fair play that they may do a somewhat decent job in the roles they play for a small minority of the Hearts support but really ! they dont have to give us their wee snippets just because the EEN asks them for something.

No its not, i was merely highlighting the point that if one chooses to boo a player then its going to happen regardless if ones view on Webster as a very good signing.Booing of players is not my cup of tea, i will admit though that i have on occasion at games thought or mumbled, stupid ****, how the feck did he miss that ect or similar thought's or mumblings; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think there will inevitably be a few boos from a v small minority but they will quieten down quickly Fans are totally within their rights to boo. They are no more or less lovers of our club than the rest of us, however I just do not understand it. Time spent booing our own could be put to better use booing the opposition. We are the Hearts! support the club - not the player. I will applaud Webster. Not trying to sound self righteous as i've been highly vociferous about his return, buut he's here and that's how it is. I will support my team throughout. Besides I have a feeling we are going to get the best out of Webster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another point how many times do we hear the OF booing individual players, they get right behind their team and their players react.Yes you are correct ,Webster is here and is now a part of HMFC, that should be taken on board too and we all know that players react to encouragement far more effectively than being individually targeted with a chorus of boos.

Don't know the reasons why it didn't work for him at rangers. Thinking about it though, if he's such a devious character perhaps his constant no-shows for them was part of an elaborate plan to get back to us? Yeh, that's it.

jambonian Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Anyone who boos Webster should think of this before doing it.... Webster left under a cloud, yes but more importantly, he was free to sign for anyone and by that i don't mean some pishy wee outfit like Hibs, i'm talking about clubs down South that could afford to give him far more wages than we can. He must've thought very hard about this after what happened in the past but i admire him for having the balls to come back, he could easily have bottled it and went elsewhere. He was/is an International player, he's at a good age, he was Dundee Utd's player of the year by far last year and Hearts can ill afford to allow players like him go to other clubs for the sake of something that happened 5 years ago. Although not under the same circumstances, i remember Dave McPherson leaving Hearts to go back to Rangers, Hearts fans booing his every touch, he came back to us 2 years later, played another 5 years winning a Scottish Cup medal and becoming legendary status.

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I wouldn't boo him if i was there, instead i'd run up to him, whip down both our tweeds and ram one right up his farter. Then i would say "Hey Andy, we're even, welcome back" Unrealistic? Perhaps, it's about as realistic as many Hearts fans actually paying attention to what the federation spokespiece tells them to do.

Gizmo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I do find it highly ironic, given Rangers cloak and dagger way of getting Webster for virtually diddly squit, that he reamed them for decent wages and played nearly sod all games.
