The generic Hearts thread

The world has changed beyond recognition since 'a few weeks back.' There's not a chance the SFA could commit to that now.

It was after the lockdown came in that the SFA said the cup will be played to a conclusion once the world is back to being in a place where games can take place again

Erm. It does though. Clubs couldve signed free agents before the semi's were originally due to take place like we did with Logan which couldve changed the course of those semis. This is the exact same situation.

First up: This isn't 'the exact same situation' as anything that's ever happened in the whole history of the human race.


Conrad Logan was able to sign for Hibs because we suddenly had an emergency situation in regards to the lack of a First Team goalkeeper, for which there are special dispensations in place. The same would not have happened if, for instance, all of our Forwards were suddenly injured.

Hearts have about Four Goalkeepers, and probably Fifty Outfield Players on their books. They don't need any new signings to play one game.

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.

By that logic, award points as if they were league matches. Hibs and Aberdeen have 13 points, celtc and Hearts have 12.😉

Perhaps we could play the Scottish Cup games during the scheduled “winter break” and maybe by that time football will be back, teams will be match fit and even if they could not be played at Hampden how about a bit of vision from the SFA and play the games somewhere in the sunshine. Give us all something to look forward to; the games could be beamed all over the World on T.V. The Europe spot can go to 4^th place in the league for this year. **** the hertz.
Great exposure and lots more cash from TV. around the World. Our own owner has plenty experience in such things with his background in Spanish speaking sport on T.V. etc.
Scottish Fitba needs to get out of its small parochial little box and look forward.

The current buns and the wee current buns will need to be on statement overdrive if this ever happened.
But any slim hopes of the season continuing at a later date could be snuffed out entirely if European football's governing body listen to the advice of Marc Van Ranst, who is virologist and epidemiologist at the Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven and regarded as one of the world's leading authorities on the subject.
Belgian football initially incurred UEFA's wrath after they declared their season over, only to announce a u-turn later.
Now UEFA have turned to one of their countrymen to get a definite verdict on when football can return.
And he's advised UEFA to bin the season immediately.

None of that is true. We didnt need special dispensation at all.

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

Utterly deluded fools to a man (or woman)

How does that even work?

They have won 5-0, 1-0 and 1-0 = 7 scored and a plus 7 goal difference.

Our results are 2-2, 4-2, 4-1 and 5-2 = 15 scored and a plus 8 difference.

They are truly unbelievable and never let the facts get in the way of their agenda.

The last line in the article about how mass events like football matches or music festivals being the last part of any exit strategy is the real big one for me.

Too many people seem to think that as soon as restrictions are lifted then business as usual.

Closed doors games create no income but they do create expenditure. Non starter.

Restrictions will be lifted in stages and football is well down the list.

UEFA need to take the lead on this.

Correct.
If UEFA decide to call it as it is, we can all move on & prepare for next season, whenever that may be. I’m all for finishing season if possible, but financially, most clubs need prize money to survive & rebuild.

Do you think the current buns would take into consideration anything coming from a university called Katholieke?

They seem to believe not turning up at away games is going to be a hammer blow to the finances of top flight teams up and down the country.

So it's kinda like the financial armageddon we were promised when Rangers went pop... only on a much, much smaller scale.. good to know!! xD

Before we stray away from the ‘Hearts should be awarded the Cup’ based on statistics so far in the competition, I notice that the poster, forcibly defending the principles of this nonsense, has changed his tune over the years.
In a thread discussing our elimination from the cup in a penalty shoot out against Dundee United in 2014, someone argued that, instead of a penalty shoot out, matches should be based purely on match statistics. The poster, who in this present thread is pro the use of statistics to decide the winner of this year’s competition replied back then :

“Would you be complaining about penalty shoot-outs had we won on Wednesday night?

It's the best and most exciting way to resolve a cup tie.
Leave it to stats? Erm...no ta”

Interesting.

What a truly bizarre way to announce ones yamness!

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.

Hearts couldn’t even get their vote in on time, must have been using Romanov’s old machine
Seemingly the SPFL had to chase them up, as of 5pm it wasn’t received

I'd be all for awarding Hearts the Scottish cup if it means they are relegated. In fact I'd even nip along to solo clap at their parade.

Quite frankly do not believe the version that they sent an email in at midday and technically didn't reach the spfl. Not a chance that happened imo.

[Kojock]

It really is a hoot over the road. This one caught my eye talking about boycotting away grounds.

I'll certainly be avoiding any of their grounds or giving them my money, I even sent a message to Tony Macaroni explaining why I will no longer be taking my family to their Omni Centre restaurant

Queen Ann deluges the yams website with her inane rants. You van only imagine the drivel she sends via email to all and sundry.

The email to the SFA probably went straight to spam.

He still signed during the course of the season though. A very different scenario to playing the remaining Scottish Cup ties next season, when there's no knowing how many players will have come and gone, let alone when the games could be played. If we can draw a line under the league campaign there's no reason we can't do the same with the Scottish Cup.

That's a new classic right there.

Why only the Omni Centre? Will he still be frequenting Tony Macaroni restaurants at other sites? Was he crying when he sent the email? We need to know.

hope his email did not get blocked by a firewall and end up in the junk mail, perhaps he needs to follow it up wi a phone call as well.
