    I am very worried

    We should be playing better!
    I have been backing Terry/Maurice all the way, why are they not doing better?
    Black eyes and booted arse's must be included in the next team talk!
    Play off/Relegation is unthinkable!

    I expected a lot more from Butcher, as did we all.

    I have been as guilty as the next man saying let's see what Terry does next year.

    It is time for Terry/Maurice et al to stand up and be counted this year, and keep us in the Premiership.

    Anything less is an abject failure.

    The way things are going, we'll be in the same league as them next season, but unlike them, we will be in debt.

    Yeah and that will make our situation so much better. Small minded attitude I'm afraid.

    Crazy isn't it. Hearts are still going to die so that means we're OK.

    Nah... it's lack of capitals and appropriate apostrophes.

    Some folks obsession with them is unreal. **** them and **** what they done. It's finished in my eyes and it's about time we pulled our own heads out the sand and started to see the mess we're in. Even if we don't go into the play offs some real issues must be addressed.

    Totally agree that going down would be an abject failure - FWIW I think we'll stay up but they are not half making us sweat about it. I hope my optimism is not unwarranted, regardless I think we'll all be glad when this season is consigned to the history books.

    Thought we had addressed the big issue and you are starting match day thread against hearts and everything else will be Hunky Dory after that
    Let's wait and see what happens when we know what league we are going to be in .Dont think the Board or should I say Rod Petrie will want to make any formal statement at present as he will just be prying we don't end up in play offs .
    But agree when we need to hear assurances from Rod what they are doing to support TB re transfers and assurances he isn't going to drag contract talks to point we loose out we need some key players in early .i would assume season ticket sales aren't that great so if we don't get some form of statement backed up by early signings speculation will start and T B will get frustrated and Ticket Sales won't gather pace .
    This next window is Critical .Get it wrong and another Season in bottom six without Sevco and Hearts would be final draw for even more folk on here .
    I can remember the last time we went down and didn't come straight up and it was a nightmare .some games away from home like Ayr United there were barely a few hundred hibs fans there to watch the team .But I still see some of those same faces at games today .Die Hards stick with the Team but I wouldn't want to go back to those dark days .

    At the moment we seem to have the cart before the horse, If YOU buy a ST we will buy players. I believe the RP STF and GL are all responsible. They must buy players that get the Hibs fans excited simple or ER will be a ghost town next season.

    TB and MM have to be given the Summer like me am sure they just want this season finished. I hope that they are allowed to buy players THEY want and improve our situation.

    TB has done himself no favours with our team telling them they are rubbish etc that should be done in private.

    I hope to hell we beat this lot on Saturday as I believe 3 points will be enough to keep us up but i don't see a win anywhere but football is a funny game.

    I am worried too - about the amount of threads there are on this same subject. Why on earth start a new one? Aren't there enough for you to join in with?

    Wish everything was hunky dory mate. Good to hear you still see the same faces though. Many have given up on Hibs and can't blame them. It's hard to watch them these days! A win on Sunday will left the pressure and maybe we can look further to next season knowing what league we will be in.

    Like you said we don't want to end up down there again.

    I thought we had always come straight back up? Agree with the rest though.

    I was a student then so going back 30 odd years so maybe it just seemed like more than one season in lower league Remember a cup reply against Dunfermline and was gutted we didn't win it and remember thinking it was going to be difficult to get back up .but my memory isn't the most reliable

    I think Ronniekirk must be about 135 years old because as far as I'm aware the last time we spent more than one season outside the top flight was back in the 1890s after Smelltic did the dirty!

    See post above The game was Ayr United away as I recall but as I said in second post it was over 30 odd years back so maybe it just felt longer back them

    yes we bounced back straight away winning the league pretty comfortably both times , so not getting at you as my memory might have been wrong as i couldnt work out when you were on about. but tell you something if we go down this time we wont bounce straight back up . will be down there for a few years i fear.
