The generic Hearts thread

[Col2]

Text from my mate I wont take the credit

Can you imagine those 2 teams having the cheek to talk about integrity & morals 😱

Why is there not a team calling them out and making a statement to put them in there place

Rangers are never catching Celtic, and Hearts have been the worst team in Scotland for a year &1/2

I wish it was possible for Celtic to dig there heals in and insist that the games should be played, forget next season - put Rangers and Hearts in their place.
If Scottish fitba allow Hearts to weasel out of the drop I may give up on fitba, if it's league reconstruction it has to be 3up and 1 down

Remember Levein wishing that the ball hadn't crossed the line at Tynie coz that would have made the decision to award their goal even sweeter, karmas a bitch, I hope they **** get relegated then I hope they go out of business then I hope auld bagpuss falls a sleep on her Hearts cushion in her big windae for the next 40 years

Integrity, morals, can't believe what I'm hearing from those *****

PEOPLE IN GLASS CURTAINS SHOULD NEVER THROW STONES‎

Jambos Kickback raging that Livingston are voting to end the season as is relegating Hearts despite them taking the third largest away support to Livi.

Livingston v Hibs Att 4902
Livingston v Deluded of Midlothian Att 3854

[PH91]

It’s a vote on the lower leagues season to end. It’s nothing to do with the Prem season ending. I’ve listened to various chairman and officials from most clubs indicating they want the season to be concluded. That will be decided at a later date.

Have you read the guardian article? It says that the vote is for all 4 leagues but calling the prem over will be delayed so as to be seen as following uefa guidance. But the decision will have been made.

That's my take on it anyway.

UEFA guidance may possibly be to play the games behind closed doors though, something the lower league sides can’t do. If there’s no possibility of the league finishing as guided by UEFA then voting the resolution through would be our only option apart from voiding the league.

Going by the skysports video she looks like she has given up.

[Lee Marvin]

Which is fine. If it doesn't pass Friday, it will pass the next time it proposed. The league is not going to finish, it's going to be almost impossible to do so before August.

The end result will be calling the league, whenever that happens. Reconstruction is looking extremely unlikely with every passing day so I reckon it's near inevietable that Hearts are down.

[Green Reaper]

So, if it doesn't pass tomorrow is it the case that they will just have to have another vote when the season definately can't be played out, which it won't, or would we be waiting on some direction from UEFA

Completely agree.

If it fails on friday, there'll be ongoing amendments until it does go through. Its the only viable sensible solution. Hearts and some other clubs are acting extraordinarily selfishly in attempting to block what is the sole pragmatic way forward. It will go through at some point.

[Deansy]

This is why so many fans, not just Hibs fans are angry. The 2 teams who went bust only 7 years ago by constantly trying to buy success, are almost bust again! Once can MAYBE be seen as mismanagement from last owners BUT TWICE. Blatant cheating of the highest order. Not only that, wanting leagues voided or reconstructed, but payment of prize money before doing so, & some on here wonder why we want them down! FFS, they’re putting THEMSELVES down. It shouldn’t even be open for debate. Remember, this is the club that tried to KILL us. I am amazed that ANY fan or board member with the clubs best interests at heart would help them in any way. It’s total nonsense that we need Hearts in any way. Yes, I’d miss the Derby’s, there special occasions. But if Hearts struggling makes it easier for Hibs to be successful, I’ll settle for that.

:top marks

FAO LD

I understand the business-case but there has to be a time when you say 'NO MORE' - they've been cheating since the day Wallace Mercer took them over in 1981 and despite getting a very clear and concise warning of what can happen with 'Perpetual cheating' only just 7 (yes - SEVEN !!) short years ago, unbelievably they completely ignored it and carried on exactly as before !. It's a totally different board with a totally different owner yet they're still in the same position ??. They're totally and utterly incapable of learning - they're so accustomed to cheating that they now know of no other way !. The position Hearts (and their big-bros over in Govan !) find themselves in just now is entirely and utterly 100% of their own making !. Have no doubt, as per 'munchar's post, one of the biggest losers in all of this has been US - and we should NOT be voting for prolonging Hearts preferred way of 'doing business', it's well past time that they learnt -

CHEATING SHOULD BE PUNISHED - NOT REWARDED !

[CentreLine]

I wont be hating Hibs or hurting Hibs if Hearts don't go down.

As you say the polarisation of the debate is stupid but normal these days, every discussion on the internet ends up with extreme, over simplified views with the most vocal at either end of the scale.

I'd like to see Hearts go down, it would be well funny, but it wont colour my feelings towards Hibs if they stay up.

Bottom line if there are no consequences to Hearts’ overspending and poor management, why would you expect them to change their behaviours ? Fed up being one of the clubs who try hard to run its business in a responsible and sustainable way, only to find ourselves having to bail out for free those that don’t.

Listening to First Ministers questions, it came out possible peaking of the virus till the Autumn.
Then we have the dropping figures at the other side of the peak, it could easily be another few months after the peak before things get anywhere near normal!
So its far to early to make any decisions about getting back to football, and any possible outcomes!!
Could be to finish the League and Cup for this season, and get ready for 2021/2022 season????

Killie will have about four players left in contract, Hamilton and St Mirren, St Johnstone too. Can safely say what way they will vote tomorrow. Who does that leave? Us? Celtic , Aberdeen and Motherwell with two of they clubs needing to vote to stop it going through from the prem to join huns and hearts?

Is that allowed?

[Hibee87]

Can't UEFA just make the call? Ok ther eight be slight anonymities with leagues who start over the summer etc. But for the main, shouldn't it be as easy as them saying all leagues that are suspended, if they can't start up and finish by XXX date, then they tell the FA's to finish as Is. Every country is given the same time to finish, and no local FA can be accused of any bias arrangements. Failure to comply results in expulsion from European competition. I can't see how any right minded people would be against it. (Obviously a few teams are going to be upset, but by and large, I think it would be acceptable)

The answer would have to be no, otherwise out of contract players would be able to move on. If there's no transfer window, then they have the "choice" of accepting an automatic extension or being without pay and training on their own.

Additionally you couldn't have clubs finishing the 19/20 season with different squads to those they had prior to the shutdown.

I agree, they are coming to the correct decision but letting the balloon down gently. We HAVE to save next season in the format and TV deal as it is (if that is even possible), this season is done. Hearts are unfortunate not to be able to fight out their remaining games but every statistical outcome would put them down anyway.

[Unseen work]

Just send them down!!!

They’ve been the worst team in the league for about 15 months now and have had ample time to get themselves out of their current league position.

Could they stay up? Absolutley. But there is an argument that every club in the league could finish higher than their current position and will feel hard done by. St Johnstone would likely go ahead of us if it was then placed on average points per game, leaving us 7th. So be it, these times are completely out of the regular and tough decisions which don’t please everyone will had to be made.

For me we can’t pick to promote teams and not relegate others. For example Dundee and ICT would have the argument that they could have got promoted before if the season had finished and rightly so, they’ll be losing out on a hell of a lot and are in the same ‘what if’ position as Hearts.

Finish them as they are and use an average points per game to calculate it the remaining games.

If this was Hamilton there wouldn’t even be a discussion. No team is too big to go down.

It makes sense to do it now. I just wondered how the 1 team who are adamant that the season must be finished, ripped up their pitch before the announcement of a delay until June!!

Is there one rule for football and another for everyone else.? Essential work?

The Aberdeen players going training together in the park seem to think so.

[sean04]

If by some miracle we get to play out the remaining fixtures in say mid July or August ( can’t see it myself) a lot of clubs will have lost a few players who’s contracts have expired. Would any new signing be eligible to play in the games from season 19/20 ?

I’m sure if clubs have deferred wages they can’t sign anybody

But it is not essential.

[tamig]

The answer would have to be no, otherwise out of contract players would be able to move on. If there's no transfer window, then they have the "choice" of accepting an automatic extension or being without pay and training on their own.

Additionally you couldn't have clubs finishing the 19/20 season with different squads to those they had prior to the shutdown.
UEFA are looking at temporary contract extensions to cover this season finishing - but I reckon that’s still a long shot at this stage. The current season being played to a finish I mean.

Most the clubs in the bottom half of the league won’t be able to afford temp contracts when there’s no football to be played, that’s why they want it finished now.

Hickey will probably be sold.

This will be the 2nd time the yams are relegated in a short space of time - extraordinary considering the amount of ££ spent.

Less season tickets sold.

FOH donations will probably go down.

Budge and Levein under even more pressure.

The stand probably still won’t be finished for another 12 months as money is diverted elsewhere.

[StevieT]

I wonder if Budge phoning around to see how other clubs are going to vote is to allow them to get a jump on next season? If the indication is that the season is going to be over, then could they go in to Admin before the result is announced thus getting the points deduction this season. End result is the same ie Hearts are relegated but they start next season on zero points

[Garymcl]

Has no one ever thought if they are relegated with season not finished could be yet another call to arms “as the poor wee us being hard done by the worlds against us “ scenario budgie appeals to supporters again to snap up season tickets and show the world what we think ie record season tickets as even the not so die hards rally to the cause

Basically that’s the size of it. If it goes through the SPFL board will go to UEFA at the end of the month and put to them that the clubs in the top division have also voted to call the league now and if they agree it’s cheerio Jambos (as long as no crazy reconstruction ideas are put through).

Wouldn’t get too excited about any vote anyway. Irrespective of how Dundee vote there will still be discussions on reconstruction.

If current vote fails Rangers are resubmitting their proposal as they are desperate for cash and other clubs will put pressure on to get prize money.

Why would the clubs vote the rangers proposal through when they’re either:
A) in a great position league wise in terms of over achieving/staying up.
B) great the prize money is there but we have no squad at all to finally finish the season whenever it may be as all our players are out of contract.

Most clubs want the season to be done for various reasons. I’m not sure at all what Dundee or Inverness hope to achieve at all? Keep the season for as long as possible going in case one of them has a chance at going up only to be beaten in the playoff in January next year from Hearts, crippling many clubs as the go about it?

The reconstruction vote is DOA. Forget about it.
So is the Sevco proposal.

If Dundee vote yes and we are in limbo Rangers will tweek their proposal. It’s all about getting the prize money.

Anyone been on sickback?

They seem to think they should be awarded the Scottish Cup on account of goals for :rolleyes:

Would it get passed through to be even proposed though? I highly doubt it. It has to go though legal procedure then it has to be voted on by the board (who are one club away from their own main proposal going through) let’s release the money and then what? Wait for xmas? Not a chance it would pass in the Premiership to begin with, all ten clubs voted for this proposal apart from the two dirties. The majority of the clubs in the Prem wouldn’t have voted for the cash now priority, it’s to self serve. Who would change from yes to huns proposal that much to vote it through?

Huns
Hearts

7 other teams required.

Celtic no
Us no
Aberdeen no
Motherwell no
Livi no
Ross County no

St Mirren and Hamilton aren’t going to vote aye to cash now relegation later either.

It would never go through.

What goes on in those pea-brained heads??

[macca70]

I didn’t think this vote applied to SPL, just Championship and lower.

Or are we assuming that whatever happens to the lower leagues Is also likely to apply to SPL?

Doncaster has made a complete shambles of this vote, how can it be acceptable that only 1 vote remains and that will be the deciding vote which has significant impact of what happens with there rivals. It’s a complete mess.

In their place, I would be doing the same.

If they’re calling it on one competition then they have to call it on them all. Hearts have the best record from the four remaining teams.

I know I’m going to get grief for this but it’s how I feel.

I know a lot of them are stupid but surely none of them really think that. It must be a joke post.

Thank ****. That was a big concern. Thought they might have pulled it

That article is from a few weeks back so things could change yet.

The Cup is an easy one to sort. Can be done in a week, or half a week if we are really pushing it. Semis on Wednesday, final on Saturday.

It’s only 3 games left.

You are joking I take it? If not, why would a cup competition be settled on the same basis as a league campaign? Its just not possible. I hope you were joking though.

[TheHarpy76]

I’m not joking in the slightest. Why should one competition be decided on performances and not another?

I’m not saying that it should be played out that way. But I can understand why they’re saying it.
Let’s not kid on that we wouldn’t be saying the same.

I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if Hibs were being humped left, right and centre for over a year and rooted to the bottom of the league but then started to demand the Scottish Cup because we had scored more goals vs Airdrieonians in Round 4.

Eh because in the league you all play the same teams...in the cup you don't.
In the league you play teams home and away...in the cup you don't.

[CloudSquall]

I wouldn't because it's weapon's grade moonshine given the cup is a knockout competion and the league isn't.

I really don’t think we would, you don’t apply goal difference in a cup which is different than a league so that logic is crazy border line idiotic imo

[TheHarpy76]

That’s called the luck of the draw.

[TheHarpy76]

So how do you decide the competition?

[O'Rourke3]

Hearts have the best record from the four remaining teams.I know I’m going to get grief for this but it’s how I feel.Let me get this straight. Hearts have a better cup record than a side in the same league that haven't lost a cup tie in nearly 4 years? I take it this is based on goals scored versus goals against in the current competition? Always a decent ruler to measure from of course. Their 5-0 win at home versus Airdrie being the clincher or simply "we beat the Huns?" I can't recall the last time a team from the Championship beat any team from the Premiership on route to winning the Cup.....

[SMAXXA]

You apply the same logic as the league end it now current positions stand equals no winners with 4 teams left. Or roll the 3 games into next seasons schedule

[Archie70]

There's been some belting posts on this site over this years but this is right up there with the best of them.
Absolute classic. Award the cup on the luck of the draw...when it could be finished in 4 days and none of the teams left in are due to enter next seasons competition for about 8 months...classic.

The cup has always been luck of the draw. Why should this conclusion, in these circumstances, be any different?

No. Award the cup to the remaining team with the best record. Who they played is completely irrelevant. Just as it would be if the cup was played to its conclusion in the normal way.

[Ozyhibby]

The cup will get played. I think European comps will struggle to go ahead next season or will be severely cut back. There will be free midweeks.

He (they) are saying cause they've scored most goals in the competition. It's a wind up. Dont even go there. 🤣

Its totally different. In the league you are playing your peers. The positions are decided by average points. The cup draw is a lottery. You can’t compare the two.

With extra lunacy involved that seems to suggest their seven goals are superior to our 11, gotcha. Not even adding in the replay.

[Michael]

I heard that they're going to draw straws for the Scottish Cup.

[TheHarpy76]

Of the four remaining teams. Hearts have the best record. You’re welcome to go check.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Cause you are. Jeez mate just give it up yet not fooling anyone. 😄

[Broken Gnome]

Of the four remaining teams. Hearts have the best record. You’re welcome to go check.

What, like they have a goal difference of 7, and ours is 6?

[TheHarpy76]

Exactly.

If we won the cup by the normal channels, having played East Kilbride, Huntly, Cowdenbeath, Airdrie and beating Celtic in the final. We didn’t really win it because Celtic beat Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Rangers?

The cup is the luck of the draw. That’s beyond agreement.

As I’ve said. I’m not saying that it should play out that way but I can understand why they’re saying it.
