We lost because we weren't good enough.
80 points wasn't good enough to win the league. We were close but not close enough. Failure is a part of winning. We can only focus on the things we can influence. Ourselves. We had an outstanding first half to the season, but our form dropped in the second half, particularly our away form.
Games like Kilmarnock and Livingston away caused our loss, not referring decisions. Yes we had poor decisions against us at Fir Park. But we also had VAR decisions in our favour. St Mirren's '3rd' goal was embarrassing to benefit from. We had 2 at Ibrox when we won 2-0. There's no conspiracy or corruption. I believe it's more fear from Ref's and all-around incompetency.
The Refs didn't lose us the league. The Celtic game shouldn't be replayed. That patter is poor from our fans. I expect that from Hibs, not Hearts. Take defeat as a lesson towards winning and becoming successful. We just need to focus on how we can improve on this season.
Losing the league was gut-wrenching. It was so painful. But I want to feel that pain again as it means we will be challenging year after year. If we are consistently challenging for titles, then our time will come. The biggest clubs in the world all experience failure.
This is the worst the Hearts team will be. We will only get better as we improve our squad year on year. Hearts winning the Scottish Premiership is inevitable.
Take defeat with grace. Use it to fuel our future title battles. We are disruptors of Scottish football. We've changed Scottish football. Old firm split. Next step, win the league. Believe. HHGH ❤️
