More than what they deserve for all that "Hibs are no longer our natural rivals any more" nonsense circa September 2005.

Let's be fair, they're right about that one now.

Hey! Scrolling down that last link I noticed something.
That architect isnæ really called Massimiliano ***sas is he?
This must be a wind up

[Septimus]

On a positive note I understand that the local rats are plumpimg up nicely for Christmas.

[Lucius Apuleius]

I think it is totally unfair to single out the Bully Wee. Surely the East Fife's of this world cannot be far off the same number. And Queen's Park must be way way above them. Oh to be a big team.

Don't forget that Dunfermline have won it the same number of times in the last 50 years too. Massive club.

Good news

Advances in facial surgery techniques mean that Jambos can look like ordinary people. Apart from the drooling.

[Dashing Bob S]

Perhaps the club is falling down the table but at least its on a solid footing financially.

[Mixu62]

They could soon have the 4th best stadium in the 2nd division?

[Dashing Bob S]

Now that their CL domination dreams are in tatters, does that mean they get to parachute into the Europa?

Perhaps that's one for the Yamosauras:

Gorgie parachute, a

As the 'r' word is forbidden amongst the deluded Yams, they use that term instead. "We have be struggling to make the top six in the CL this year, but i'm not bothered. In fact, I can't wait to parachute into the Europa and visit places like Stark's Park and Palmerston.

I was on the bus last night and there was a yam explaining Hahahearts debt to a foreign friend. After a long explaination I thought this was a beauty!

“So even if you don’t have debt you're owe money to somebody so Hearts are no worse off than anyone else just because they're in debt”

[Dashing Bob S]

Might not a poem cheer up our Yam chums? Perhaps when they think of the great stewards their club has had; Mercer, Pieman, Vlad, this might spring to mind:

My Sad Captains by Thom Gunn


One by one they appear in
the darkness: a few friends, and
a few with historical
names. How late they start to shine!
but before they fade they stand
perfectly embodied, all

the past lapping them like a
cloak of chaos. They were men
who, I thought, lived only to
renew the wasteful force they
spent with each hot convulsion.
They remind me, distant now.

True, they are not at rest yet,
but now they are indeed
apart, winnowed from failures,
they withdraw to an orbit
and turn with disinterested
hard energy, like the stars.

Beautiful Bob.
Would surely bring a tear to a glass eye.

I like that, but Ive always thought that romanov is a kind of Ozymandias character.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Ozymandias

I MET a traveller from an antique land,
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

No. the architect's name is Massimiliano ...

... and the second word is what he does.

Marvellous stuff. I'm a big fan of Shelley and that fits them to a tee.

So is that another Lithuanian they've signed then?

You will not be frowned upon as much for dating your sister when visiting places like Ayr or Cowdenbeath.

Tickets are cheaper, so you can afford to get your mono brow waxed before your big date(with your sister).

The chances are, if you were to apply for the job of manager, you would get it, and that would really impress your "common law" sister-wife.

If you were to enroll your illigitimate son-brother in the hearts youth set up today, he would most likely be hearts sole attacking option by christmas next year. No doubt that would impress your uncle-dad.

Places like Ayr and Cowdenbeath might not have been visited by BNP recruitment teams before, so they're ripe for the picking.

I love the visible look of complete bemusement of the Falkirk defender's puss as he gets up from sliding to "block" Obua's "cross", as if to say. "How the f*** did he manage that??!!"

Let's dress up as clowns and twirl maroon scarfs over our heads as we strut down Gorgie Road.

...wait...the Yams thought of it first.

We all know how much the Yams like a charity, well - what else are they going to skim to line their own pockets? - well, to celebrate Movember, they can feast their eyes, and revel, in one of the finest mowsers ever...

Mattie, you're too good to us.

That was ever so enjoyable. Thank you.

BTW - did I spot the baldy heid of one Jim Duffy there just at the end?

You certainly did Doddie, IIRC he was Dundee captain that day.
Almost makes up for his time at ER.

A very emotional video. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried. In fact, as I type this, the tears are still rolling down my face.
