Twinkle Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Why is going down such a big deal for Hearts anyway? Most likely you'll have a pretty enjoyable season as you comfortably win the league, playing teams you don't usually play and visiting grounds many fans may not have been to in years, not to mention the different towns and pubs you'll experience, all whilst most likely winning most weeks and probably scoring a good few goals. You'll get a nice wee title party in front of a big crowd as well. A wee break from the same old monotony before resuming it is hardly the worse thing in the world? You'll barely bother about it in a few years and just see it as a blip.I said that when we went down.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the bit I have trouble with. If my team were in a comparable situation, would I rather that they 'got away with one' through not being relegated, learn nothing & possibly continue in poor form in the Premiership or; take the relegation, become lean & hungry, climb the league fuelled by a perceived injustice & wreak revenge in the Premiership when they return the following season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something in all of these posts but, on the other hand, there's also the fact that getting relegated is very, very embarrassing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really be the big team in a lower league but. Likely next season you’ll have a bang average to shite season & square it away wi the yams are in the champ. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support Hibs. I don't suppose you've noticed, but bang average seasons are pretty much what we do. But, I can't see our next adventure to the Championship being for a wee while yet. That's a new special relationship for Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sair as it was at the time we've since won the thing, built a bigger stadium than youse and sit in the league above you, all without the need for some daftie with more money than sense propping us up. Aye, ended right enough.

I never said ended at any point in time yet you mention it twice, it was a good day but nothing like 98 which shall always be my favourite. Could have done wi a deck o cards for the last 40 mins mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty other Jambos trot that line out though, which is clearly a nonsense because if I recall correctly the **** did youse 5-1 in a final not long before 98. Not our finest hour, that's for sure. Would have been a different result had Black had been sent off for his forearm smash on Griffiths in the first few minutes. Hardly likely to have happened with Thompson refereeing but. That's football though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least Hearts can say they were the last "big team" in Edinburgh to be relegated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
