Docksiders Vs *****s is perhaps not the best comparison. The word used (not by Marathonbet directly clearly) is probably the most unacceptable term of abuse out there IMO.

A bit of an own goal to not have noticed it and they're correct to have pulled the post.

The motivation behind their post was spot on and the pompous Hearts official statement is laughable, that much is clear.

I wasn't comparing.

Best sponsor ever. I bet they’re loving all this free publicity as well.

I think he'll a P45 shoved up him for that.

As much as I agree with the sentiment/wind-up that takes a bit of the shine off the goal.

Heart of Midlothian Football Club is disappointed to see a partner of the game in Scotland attempt to ridicule the club based on misinformation and the use of potentially offensive and inappropriate language.
This is perhaps indicative of yet another trend which sees those who gain so much from the game, attempt to demean it rather than support it.
For the avoidance of doubt, modifications to our existing control room are scheduled to take place as has already been fully explained to our supporters.

If I didn't know who that statement was from I'd be willing to guess that it was from a club who hadn't won a derby match in several years.

A professional company using an image with the phrase 'mo&*o' on it? Ok, someone made a huge mistake there in letting that go through. That's not great. But there's no way I can see anyway to defend that as banter. It's a horrific word, one of the top ones from a time we've hopefully moved on from.
I can't see any of that, or defence of it, as banter.

There is no defence for it, which is why they took it down once they realised the word was on one of the images used.

Does anyone know if the boy who penned the word has been dealt with by MB?

True. But I'd have expected a lot more condemnation on here tbh.

I think they filched the images from someone else and just uploaded them, no-one there penned the word it was on the images they used/stole/borrowed.

[Gatecrasher]

I'm going to open an account just for this. Anything to get under their skin. Nice to see they have chosen the statement route like their big brothers

It was removed right away once they seen what was written on the pic. Clearly they posted all 4 pics without proof reading the wording. As it wasn’t them who wrote it and then removed the pic with the offensive term MB have done nothing wrong.

They have a point about the unfortunate use of the word in question ... which if I understand correctly was a retweet and quickly pulled when Marathon Bet realised it. Its a shame the Yams were inadvertently given the chance to deflect from what is a great bit of piss taking.

The rest of their statement is typical humourless Yam moaning prompted by their sense of self importance, they never did have the ability to laugh at themselves, which is unfortunate for a club that are pretty bloody good at dishing it out. As for "one of Scottish footballs partners who gain from the game" who are they kidding? Scottish football needs the likes of Marathon Bet a lot more than they need us ... something the Yams would do well to remember.

Anyway .... nice one Marathon Bet, probably the best sponsor we have ever had

I was more meaning on here, we were a few post in on this thread before anyone really said it was a totally inappropriate thing.

Ah right, I’m sure we’d all agree it’s a horrible word and to be fair haven’t heard for a long time thankfully.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Their owner calling us docksiders, their fans physically attacking rival managers and players, constant homophobic chants, mocking blindness and sectarian songs. They have more faces than Big Ben that lot. I'm loving watching them squirm. Long may it continue.

...but they aren't they seem more cheesed off that the stand was taking pelters in that statement.

Nobody is saying that is banter. That's a **** up of a mistake, the rest is banter.

Nobody on here has said the pic with the word is banter, not one person.

Ah ok, fair enough. Ta for clearing that up.

[Thecat23]

Listen no matter what the stand is a ****ing joke and everyone is laughing because of the pig headed way they went about it as If they were the only club in the universe to build a stand. It looks **** all like what they said it would as well.

So get it right ****ing up any of yo **** wits looking in.

I doubt anyone will repeat that word on a public forum. It’s a vulgar word for someone with a mental handicap.

[davhibby]

The Hearts statement was all about someone slagging their precious stand and not really anything to do with the language in the picture. They really are in a very bad place right now as a club and long may it continue
