It's very sad and regrettable that Kickback closed down, it was undoubtedly one of the best fans forums in the UK, one which Heart of Midlothian could be proud of, but I understand why it had to go. The situation with fans threatning players on the bus after the derby was a real low point in our proud history. Things should never have come to that. And if protests were being organised, as they were, on KB then how could the club possibly facilitate such things?

Over the years there has been much criticism of the board and CPR in particular on KB, the board accepted this for a long time and it's to their credit, but the disgrace suurounding the incident with the team bus was a step too far. It has certainly put me off being involved in any future protests as I will never trust those taking part not to act with dignity and perspective.

Ok, so that's my tuppence worth. Lets just make this forum better than KB was and lets be honest but gracious. Some jokes wouldn't go amiss either!
