Mr Sifter Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "It'll be a pleasure to see a team of this stature at Tynie".... "Just to play these guys in a competitive match is enough for us".... "Gareth Bale is frightening. Looking forward to seeing him on the Tynecastle turf".... These are the sort of things I've been reading the last few days on here. It seems there may be some serious golf clapping comin from oh support every time a Spurs player plays a decent ball. Hope not. Yes, Spurs are a great side. Yes, it's exciting to see these guys at Tynie. But at the end of the day they are trying to beat OUR club, so let's remember who we are there to support!!! So Spurs fans.....no disrespect to you guys....but **** you :-) HMFC FTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo-Jambo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 You can show teams too much respect and almost become fearful of them before it even kicks off. I reckon we should get tore in about them from the first whistle even if it means ditching some of our new managers style of play. Hassle them, chase down every ball, play at a high fast tempo that might unsettle them and a few tasty tackles early doors with Tynie rocking you just never know.

Rudy T Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What's the panic..... If that Gomes clown is in the sticks it'll be like playing the Hibs, they can have all the chances they want, 3 shots on their goal and we'll be 3 up......and they slag Scottish keepers !! That said my prediction is it'll be like the play off game Scotland v England - they'll come up here horse us because we'll give them too much respect, then we'll go there have the game of our lives but still go out on goal difference. We are Hearts that's what we do....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bn jambo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think there has been an over reaction to Spurs on here, It's 11 Men against 11 Men, treat both legs as a final and you never know!!!! Yes, if they were in the same league as us they would come higher than us, but this is 2 individual matches , which the players hopefully will see as a platform to show what they can do on a big stage. I don't want the players acting like the majority on here and thinking they are beaten before they are on the pitch , **** it steam into these overpaid prima donnas. TYNECASTLE IS OUR HOME, OUR MECCA, IF THESE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYERS WANT TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM US OR BEAT US , WE SHALL STAND TOGETHER ,OUR DEFENCE WILL STAND STRONG LIKE THE OLD CASTLE ROCK, OUR MIDFIELDERS WILL BATTLE FOR EVERY BALL, OUR FORWARDS WILL ATTACK LIKE LIONS , AND WE AS FANS WE WILL AND MUST SUPPORT THE FAMOUS HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN IN FULL VOICE TILL OUR LAST BREATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that's not possible I want the opposition to know they've been in a game. It's all I ask. I will not be fawning over Spurs on Thursday and don't think anyone should. However I make no apologies for the fact I'm looking forward to seeing Spurs and I think the majority are the same. Spurs are my English team but I want you root, toot and oot so bring it on...if we happen to be unsuccessful so be it. We'll have been in a game against a top side from a very top league, our bitter rivals can only dream of such a thing. Would ANYONE on here rather it was Happoel Tel Aviv on Thursday night???

DevoDave Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What does it matter if people respect Spurs or not? It's not going to affect the way the team plays against them. I doubt they read the forum and think, ''The fans want us to respect them, let's do as they wish, Gareth Bale is great etc''. Having a healthy dose of reality that Spurs are a really good team is one thing but shouldn't detract from wanting to beat them. Surely no one will be happy with a beating as long as someone like Van Der Vaart plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you didn't change your name to Broken Hearted of Midlothian. To make matters worse, it was Hearts who initiated the change to goal difference based on their 1965 experience (and also because it is fairer). We had goal difference in our league before you. The Broken Hearted thing is a gift to sub-editors but is rather over-used on the few occasions that we lose. More usually "Hearts Broken". Obviously you'll not be reading "Hearts Broken by Spurs" anywhere this week. If you really don't know your Scottish football history, should we assume that you know all about Alfie Conn senior (I'm guessing your choice of user name refers to his son, who played for both our teams, but the father was the real hero)?
