If it's coming from the fans, then genuine non-acceptance (ie something more tangible and hard-hitting than just ranting on a fans forum) might include (in non-Covid times):
- A baying mob of irate fans laying seige to training at East Mains on a Monday morning after an 'unacceptable' result and hurling abuse/threatening the players and management.
- A 100% boycott of the next home game coupled with a demand that the players and management make a filmed public apology for any 'unacceptable' result.
- Management/players having it written into their contract that their employment with club can be terminated if fans deem their performances 'unacceptable'.
All extreme scenarios which would never come to pass because when all's said and done we do ultimately 'accept' all manner of dreadful results, otherwise we'd surely just stop supporting the club. If every bad result was genuinely 'unacceptable' then why, really, would anyone bother investing so much emotional energy in something over which we have no control?
Football is absurd in its capacity to send us spiralling into despair. Somebody's posted a list of all our 21st Century Hampden results on another thread and when you read through them and remember (as I do) being at the vast majority of them and the quite awful post-match gloom brought on by many of the defeats you have to question whether the fleeting moments of joy actually make up for all that.
As I've mentioned before during this pandemic, the inability to attend matches over the last year has provided me with a bit of distance from the game and helped me weigh up how much I actually need it in my life. Watching footballers playing to empty stadiums has really brought home to me how faintly ridiculous it is that the performance of an ever-changing cast of players can impact so heavily on your sense of wellbeing.

Do you really want RG to be firing out statements like Anne Budge? What do you want these statements to say? Some copy paste pish that’s just an attempt to appease supporters? You want him to throw the manager and players under the bus when they are perfectly capable (as we have seen) of communicating with the support? I’d rather not get some patronising crap from the owner of the club.
They’re gonna change x, y and z by getting rid of these 5 players and asking Jack to ask the team to try a bit harder next time please.

I expect a significant drop off in season tickets sales anyway, but dire football will ensure they fall even lower.
However, if Jack miraculously turns this around and wins the Scottish Cup, I may be proved wrong.

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

[QUOTE=The Modfather;6436609]My memory of Lennon at Hampden is getting the formation/personnel wrong from the start (McGeough at left midfield v Aberdeen), acknowledging it wasn’t working, making the right changes but having left too big a job to fully recover.
Dinnae reright history. We were beaten when our cup winning legend Daz deflected the baw into the net. F. all to do wi tactics.

St Johnstone semi final - 3-0 / play well for 20 mins (10th-30th min).
Ross County league loss
St Johnstone draw recently at ER
Alloa late goal - mince performance
Dundee Utd dropping points - late goals - everyone could see it coming.
Semi Final v Hearts
Sheep x 2. This season
Sheep x1 last season
Motherwell at home 2nd home game performance.
Clinging on at home after being 3 up against Hamilton.
Derby last season at ER - absolutely awful performance
Livi at home - winning 4-0 away then 3-0 going on 5+ at home.
BetFred cup group stages - some of the performances were awful ( I know we won the group but still issues)
Add in the Drey Wright - the 55 / 50 min subs he regularly does, lack of goals at home (crap home record).
His team selection in semi final ..Cadden and Irvine aren’t fit. Boyle doesn’t play through middle. Allan was never ready to come on. Why drop Gray from squad even for his experience (leader / club Captain) and influence. Gullan no minutes - Hallberg who has been fine no minutes supposedly 2nd in our assist. Mallan won the game against Alloa - not even on bench. Doidge not starting for all the crosses we put in.
This is not good reading and I’ve lost faith in him and the players. Mentally weak and the manager has players that won’t stand up to him and definitely won’t stand up to others = constantly get bullied and lose important games.
Not accepting means fans will voice opinions on this messageboard to hopefully educate others what’s happening. Fans will also stop spending ££ during a time when £ is already tight for some. Not accepting means drop in ST sales, worse HSL uptake and a serious missed opportunity for more £££ reaching the final and all the benefits a cup win brings - new fans / merchandise/ ST sales etc.Last edited by GreenCastle; 27-01-2021 at 07:42 AM.

Now Pat Fenlon, there was the man we wanted. Played 2, won 2, schooled the great Craig Brown and even afford to give one of our opponents a 3 goal head start at half time.
Absolute winner.Last edited by James Stephen; 27-01-2021 at 08:17 AM.

Livi are on an incredible run of winnng form. In recent games we have been royally humped by Ross County, Livi and St Johnstone.
Predicting that we are more likely to end up fifth rather than second or third, not that extreme given the circumstances ( the circumstances being that our manager is making increasingly erratic team selections, the team is playing dire football)
Out of interest, what do you think is likely to happen at Hibs?

Also don’t assume every poster on this site is a man - some would say that’s lacking education / poor judgement.
