Great to see big Ange getting the credit he deserves for narrowly winning a league in which only 2 clubs have a realistic chance of winning. All the while, spending only about exactly the same as his only competitor. Fairytale stuff and hopefully there’s a movie made about it.
Manuel Neuer is the best German goalkeeper in my lifetime and still gets a game for Germany at 38
Craig Gordon is the best Scottish goalkeeper in my lifetime and is sat at home despite being better than the 3 keepers in that squad.
Clarke’s a wank
Without either of these - there would not be a Heart of Midlothian, playing at Tynecastle, in the Premiership.
That’s just a fact.
Thanks
@The_FOH
and thanks Mrs Budge. Also a day to appreciate the work of Bryan Jackson.
Cool. 5% then.
1000 at Tynecastle.
3000 at Parkhead.
Brendan can write to 2000 season ticket holders at his own club to explain they have to give them up.
Fucking nugget.
Brendan Rodgers has called for a minimum percentage of away supporters to be enshrined in league rules as Celtic get set to travel to Tynecastle with only 576 fans.
That Sportscene comment about whether Shankland will be a Hearts player next weekend…
An encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with our shitty sport.
40 (FORTY) years since a non-OF club won this ‘competition’
Fuck these c**ts
🚨 BREAKING! 🚨
TAV ISSUES ‘END MY GLASGOW HELL’ PLEA TO GORGIE BENEFACTORS
We understand Hearts are within striking distance of an audacious bid to recruit ‘Rangers’ captain James Tavernier.
Sources close to the Ibrox star claim he is keen on a move to the capital. 👀
Narrowly (very narrowly) losing 3 cup finals against the old firm in 4 years is not embarrassing - reaching them was an achievement.
Losing a cup final to St Johnstone - that’s embarrassing
Getting pumped 5-1 by your city rivals - that’s embarrassing
QUITONGO HAILS TAV GORGIE MOVE
Former Hearts star Jose Quitongo feels James Tavernier could be a useful addition to Steven Naismith’s Hearts squad, as they chase down 2nd place and possible cup glory. The Angolan winger asserted, “I think it has to be done and it will happen”
🎙️ "How much do you like winning here?"
🗣️ "Quite a lot, bit of an understatement. I love it, I really do."
St Johnstone boss Craig Levein shares delight on St Johnstone's 2-1 at Hibs 🔽
Mind when Hearts were deducted points and Hibs had the chance to relegate us at Tynecastle. Selling out the away end and handing out relegation party leaflets only to lose 2-0 and later lose to championship Hamilton relegating themselves at Easter Road without a points deduction.
Hearts fans have travelled to some scary places in Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey.
But did we ever think we’d have to travel to Pilton?
Horrifying.
The only thing I’d say to Hearts fans who are choosing not to go on the 21st…
I travelled to Hampden far more in hope than expectation in April 2012 and we got a magical day.
They happen sometimes and it makes all the shite worth it.
Absolutely serious. If Rangers can give Celtic 0 tickets. And Celtic can give Rangers 0 tickets.
Why can’t Hearts give them 0 tickets?
Or, at the very most, one block. Even if that meant sacrificing 1000 ticket sales.
We don’t need them. We don’t want them.
Frustration around yesterday but (surely) we all agree that:
- we’ve got the right man at the helm
- a board that largely knows what it’s doing
- a strong squad to bolster in the summer
We are in a great position
Success will follow
GRÖNLUND URGES ‘RANGERS’ TO ‘PLAY BALL’
Finnish ace Tommi Grönlund today urged ‘Rangers’ not to stand in the way of James Tavernier’s proposed Tynecastle switch. Having rejected a £350k offer, Grönlund feels the Ibrox side should drop their demands “for the good of the game”.
You should be delighted about this 1 year hiatus. You’d have to beat us every game at your hovel for at least 8 years to draw level with us (and let’s face it - that’s never happening)
I’m not saying you have the worst derby record in the UK but it’s in the top 1.
Wonder if the SPFL are looking to get the Skyline and Gorgie Suite closed.
Seems unfair that we’re making money when Raith can’t open up their hospitality shed.
It’s clear that there are massive problems with Old Firm fans attempting to enter Tynecastle with counterfeit tickets and forcing 2 people through turnstiles.
The right thing to do is stop offering tickets to Old Firm fans. It’s a matter of safety.
All home crowds.
Souttar has made the right decision for him. Now Hearts can make the right decision for us by either getting decent money or having him train with the kids. Absolutely no interest in seeing him in maroon again.
Replacing Bobby Zlamal with Craig Gordon has earned us more points than if we’d replaced an outfield player with Messi or Ronaldo.
I believe this to be an indisputable fact.
Big Ange is truly a magician. Pumping clubs that pay their players £1 - 3k per week using only guys on £20k+ per week is alchemy for the 21st century. Even as a non-Celt it brings a tear to my eye.
My sympathy with other clubs railing against perceived injustices would probably be greater if every single one of these c**ts hadn’t chosen to fuck Heart of Midlothian over back in 2020.
Fuck them.
Aberdeen being unfairly denied a late winner by VAR is objectively hilarious.
CLEMENT SILENT ON TAVERNIER CAPITAL SWITCH
Ibrox manager Philippe Clement remains suspiciously tight-lipped, in the wake of growing rumours he may lose his captain to Premiership rivals Heart of Midlothian. ‘Rangers’ fans face an anxious wait for the transfer window to close…
Let’s just accept that Barrie McKay will do a job against Motherwell and Dundee United at Tynecastle but why even bother playing him against top quality opposition?
Right decision.
Great servant to the club and may well have managed to turn it but that possibility seemed increasingly remote.
People rejoicing and kicking the guy when he’s down are, frankly, cunts.
Heart of Midlothian Football Club can confirm that it has parted company with manager Robbie Neilson.
We'd like to thank Robbie for all of his efforts. A full statement from the Board of Directors will be released in due course. No further comment will be made today.
ℹ️⬇️
Hearts would probably have been better off getting some money and a sell-on clause for Souttar.
However, sending the message that we won’t be bullied into selling players on the cheap to Glasgow trumps that.
Well done Hearts.
I’d prefer if we kept all national flags out of the ground. Keep it football.
Keep politics and all the flavours of nationalism out of Tynecastle.
This ⬇️ just comes across as pathetic . Lads, do we really think waving a wee flag is getting it up them?
I’m doing a sponsored walk from Dens Park to Tannadice to help decide which is Dundee’s diddiest club. All proceeds go to support Sporting Integrity - thanks for your support
Funny wee stat:
Craig Levein’s win % during his doomed 2nd spell as Hearts boss was superior to:
Nick Montgomery
Lee Johnson
Shaun Maloney
Paul Heckingbottom
Hibs must be shitting it that they’re about to become the 5th biggest club in Lothian.
Heart of Midlothian
Edinburgh City
Bonnyrigg Rose
Livingston
Hibs
Tick 🕰 Tock
Steven Naismith, the footballer, was a horrible wee bastard in the best possible sense. Hated by all opponents.
God, I hope he is a massive bastardy success as Hearts manager. It would be superb.
Last time Hibs beat Hearts, Brexit hadn’t happened and Covid was something happening in a small corner of China.
Nearly 5 years since they’ve won a derby at their own ground.
Their city right enough.
Folk engaging in personal attacks on Ann Budge and mocking the appearance of a 73 year-old woman can just fuck off to be honest.
Want her gone? Fine
But try not to be a shite human.
All credit to them but you’re wrong about our classics - if you want to get the whole stadium singing, I’d suggest that the ultras mix in a few songs that the whole support know as well.
The Gorgie Ultras proved today that they are the future of the Hearts support at Tynecastle. No one wants to sit on their hands and sing silvery moon anymore. Flags, banners, drumming and chants for the whole game, top class. Announce a permanent section next season 🤠
#HMFC
HMFC major honours: 16
The shite major honours: 10
This includes winning one more League cup than Hibs despite our decision to stop competing in this competition after JFK’s assassination.
Clarke fucked it by playing that clown Marshall at the last Euros.
Fucked it again if he’s incapable of seeing that, even at 41, Gordon is still the best of those 4 keepers.
Saw a ‘Rangers’ fan suggesting we sell Shanks to them for £3m, to stop Celtic winning the league, for ‘the good of the game’
To be clear. I (like most Hearts fans) have no interest in which OF club wins the league. None at all.
As long as it’s not Hibs ( 😂) - that’s it.
If you get angry about a red card every now and then, let me tell you about the time the 3rd biggest club in Scotland were kicked out the top division with eight games left to play.
Young Wilson was excellent when he came on. Positive. Great shot. Inches away from sliding in for a goal. Won lot of aerial duels and got direction on his headers (against a big powerful defender)
Promising
