The generic Hearts thread

**NC1875** · 11-04-2020 06:55 AM

The last few pages have just made me forget all about my hangover. What a laugh.

When is hearts cup parade ?

Budge at the front of the bus and Levein at the back. 400k supporters kept 2m apart while cheering their heroes!!

To bring a bit of perspective, it's the same Hearts supporters saying it who were happy to win cups by fielding players they couldn't afford, ripping off charities, pensioners and local businesses in the process.

It's like trying to explain the concept of cheating to a 3 year old.

Exactly. They can **** off and go bust.

If anyone thinks differently just look at this revisionist pish from peak cheating/thieving/laundering years that we have to put up with.

Wow, welcome to Through The Looking Glass. Confirms the old adage that you should not post in the wee sma hours! Anyway it was a welcome distraction & I'm thrilled to note that I actually saw us win the cup about 60 years ago when we beat Peebles Rovers 15-1! Some final!

The scottish cup semis will be played next season. Its an SFA competition so not part of the end it now proposal. They might even use them as the season openers.

Hibs and Aberdeen have played 5 games in the complete and won 4.

Celtic and Hearts have played 4 and won 4.

That’s not the same win records.

I agree Hearts should be awarded the Scottish Cup, just so I can see them squirm when they’re trying to boast about their famous victory while concurrently claiming victim status due to their relegation.

100% the season openers will be Hibs v Hearts, Aberdeen vs Celtic, then a few days later, The Final

I can't see that happening. Think it will simply be abandoned.

I’m late to this party and by god what a party it has been!

The thought process of some Hibs fans (I apply this very loosely btw) suggests the fairest way to sort the winners of this years Scottish cup is goal average (or games win so far this season).

Dear o dear!

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.

Applying the average Duncan's logic,they should all be moving into Edinburgh castle and claiming they're birthright since they have the best view of it from any ground in Scotland.

That would only be a reasonable proposal if clubs are restricted to use only players that are currently registered with that club.

If they allow new signings to play, then it's utter nonsense.

Some much needed cash generated then, hopefully.

Agree has to be with current squads/registered players. would therefore require temporary contract extensions with all the players agreeing to same.

Hold the front page, celtc are claiming it as, of all the teams left, they have the most hoops on their strips.

Mrs Budge will be right on the phone to her pals to stop this happening.

What have I said that isn’t factually correct?

You are totally factually correct. I just can’t believe anyone thinks a cup competition would ever be settled this way.

It might be what they'd like to happen but they will ultimately be dictated to by circumstances. The chances of life returning to a level where we could safely host these ties in the next few months are slim to non existent. Allowing 100,000 people to converge on Hampden over a weekend is a long, long way off.

Yes, but can't see that happening. As soon as UEFA allow leagues to end the season - players, agents and clubs will be preparing for next season. There'ill be no need to extend contracts and I can't see any player/agent agreeing to stick around for 1 or 2 cup games - unless they had nothing else on the table.

You've not even got that correct. We've played 4 as have Aberdeen. Celtc & them have played 3.

I think it should be awarded to Hibernian as out of all of the teams left, Hibs were the first ones to win it. Therefore it is logical, and i say that completely objectively, that it goes to Hibs.

Interestingly, there is also thread on kickback regarding hearts winning the cup using this methodology....

Hearts have a 100% record. We don’t, we needed a replay.

You must be great company in the pub before or after a game!

I enjoy the pure logic of the argument here.

Applying it to the league for a moment, Hearts have the fewest points, won fewest games and have the worst goal difference so it's great that the comments on kickback seems to suggest Hearts fans buy into such a straightforward formula for the criteria for their relegation.

You would think Ozzy however I would suggest this would be the way of thinking of some (not Hibs fans however)
