How many clubs with no ticket sales get £100k a month from their fans? How many had the balls to instigate wage cuts? But suddenly Hearts are the ones facing financial turmoil?
Hearts face financial turmoil with three Championship clubs resigned to mothballing next season and others eyeing two-tier SPFL. It's Saturday's gossip.

Read something this morning that said “ in your 20s you worry what others think of you, in your 30s you worry less what they think of you, in your 50s you realise no one was ever thinking of you”. Probably very true for most of us.

One of the surprising things about the

I have only twice gone to the Cup Final expecting us to win - Gretna and Hibs. Playing the OF we hope to win but mostly won’t. Sometimes effort or tactics can win, but usually not. I think most of us were there in hope but also loving being there in that sea of maroon

The Billy Boys is a vile song. I hate it when Hearts sing it but (poor excuse) the few “only” sing it at Hibs and Celtic. If it’s “only banter” who were the Rangers fans winding up today - roundly booed by the Hearts fans.

How is it acceptable to sing and chant sectarian and anti Irish songs on the streets? What clubs would condone this? I am deeply embarrassed any time my club’s fans transgress and fully supportive of the actions of Ann Budge and others in condemning it. Any condemnation from RFC?

IF the clubs had voted against reconstruction and all leagues started together and were to be played normally I might have said get on with it. However starting the 2nd tier in October because teams might not be ready is a farce. If you can’t play forfeit, or reconstruct who can

I buy a poppy. I observe the silence. Buying a poppy is giving to charity. It is neither a political nor a patriotic statement. I give to other charities too. It’s a personal choice. No one should be vilified for supporting it or choosing not to.
