Salmond "helping" Hearts (moved from meltdown thread)

[Nomeancity]

Really interested with Alex salmonds comments on the situation. Most politicians would hock there granny to save a vote but he seems to be ignoring that and quiet prepared to openly support them at the expense of losing votes. Or is he just so arrogant that he is willing to dismiss how us hibbies might feel about his support for them. I appreciate he can't abandon them but his comments don't exactly accept they are in the wrong. Vote no!!!

He's playing to a certain gallery.

He is yet, as a lot of Scottish establishment have to do, to start asking the questions that many of us on Hibs.net have been asking for years with regard to the HMFC situation.

I get frustrated at times as they all ignore the obvious which we have been pointing out for years but remain hopeful that one day soon they will all have to acknowledge what we have been saying for years is in fact true.

I agree but I think he is short sighted with his hopes of Hearts surviving and his inflated view of how hearts are a big employer etc when in actual fact they are not, certainly not as big as some other employers such as HMV. IMO, he should be talking about the fact that because of hearts the tax payer looks to be out of pocket by a few million, lithuanian tax payers out about 60 million, police out 20K or so and many other small businesses out of pocket.

Much wiser to vote on it basing your vote on the evidence that Salmond is, obviously, a cock.

Why not ? If he can spend so much time on Hearts is he a

[Craig_in_Prague]

Salmond is a leader of ideas and vision.

It was he that set-up the pie ordering facility from your Ipad etc whilst seated in the dump, erm sorry, the PBS.

[Iggy Pope]

Interesting. Football is all consuming for a great many people here and however baffling you find it, may well influence how they vote.

When it comes to me deciding whether or not to vote for independence, the thing of littlest concern to me is going to be whether Alex Salmond is, or is not a cock.:rolleyes:

[The Tubs]

I would rather not take this off-topic - although several hundred pages tell me that there have been many twists & turns in this entertaining epic - but nor is the referendum a vote for Salmond or any other individual. It's about whether you believe that the interests of your nation would be better served free of the United Kingdom.

You need to make your mind up yourself and not let football nor personality cloud your judgement.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Much wiser to vote on it basing your vote on the evidence that Salmond is, obviously, a cock.

Or, and I know this is a crazy idea, vote based on whether or not you think Scotland should be an independent country.

[07hibee]

Not sure if you are aware of this but the first thing Alex Salmond would do if Scotland became independent is celebrate then retire from politics. Political parties would be free to form and Scotland would fill up with Scottish MP's booted from Westminster. Strange but true!:agree:

Oh, sorry to go off topic!

[Craig_in_Prague]

I know, what I meant in first post was you would think he'd have more pressing things to worry about apart from Hearts? Iv'e never heard of a Prime Minister getting so openly involved in a professional clubs problems for example.

Salmond should keep out of the Hearts nonsense, but just remember you are voting for independence, not necessarily the SNP and Salmond.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Eh, you do know it was in Edinburgh last week?

It could be argued that mature voters might take a broader view of what a politician has to say. Admittedly though, most seem to get elected because of their personality.

Feel free to vote whatever way you want, it's a democracy. If you think the future of your country hinges on what team Salmond supports, I hope you're the only one.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Eh, you do know it was in Edinburgh last week?

I doubt that HH would get away with masquerading as a teenager!

[Sylar]

Don't have much love for Salmond or his policies but he's simply a fan expressing his concern.

I'd like to hope football allegiance wouldn't be a factor in the referendum - I recall Salmond also being quite supportive of Rangers too?

[Jack]

Why not ? If he can spend so much time on Hearts is he a good politician?

How much time is he spending?

I used to work with the Scottish Government and over the piece was involved a number of times when your Cabinet Secretary/Minister was hijacked, it fair pissed me off so it did. But what are they supposed to do? All this sort of stuff normally happens when the very important Scottish Government business has ended anyway.

I might also like to point out that I didn't much care for for him.

You're right guys, pretty much said what he said with sevco. All clubs have a responsibility to run properly and meet their social obligations, like paying tax. Good luck although its probably good bye.

[LeighLoyal]

I don't agree with him, but he's coming from a fan point of view, not as bad as that idiot Labourite Jim Murphy writing to HMRC on Rangers behalf. "Please go easy on Rangers, they don't need to pay players PAYE, NI etc... Scotland needs Rangers FC and I need their votes..." Shameful stuff.

Does he honestly think that this will only annoy Hibs fans? Did he rush out and buy a season ticket for Ibrox last year? Would he run out and buy a Hibs/Celtic/Kilmarnock season ticket if it was one of these clubs in admin?

Like **** he would, this is shocking and poltically very wrong. Hes the First Minister FFS, he's supposed to be unbiased in his views wherever private entities are concerned, it's the exact same as him saying, "I love Tesco and think ASDA are a bunch of w***s".....

No, because he doesn't support any of those teams. He may be a fat yam but he's a smart politician and I don't see this as a particularly political move. He loves getting his face in the papers but it looks more like he's just trying to lend some support to the team he supports.

Was never going to vote Yes but everytime Wee Eck just gives me more reasons not to. He is an opportunist, the FM should not be seen to be giving support to a business which is tax dodging and aboutyo shaft various other business. Shameful man and shameful club

[Part/Time Supporter]

Thread moved back to Holy Ground because it is more political than anything to do with football.

[Stevie Reid]

I notice that he is taking a principled stance regarding not attending The Open at Muirfield due to them not permitting female members - yet he is happy to contribute to an institution that is morally reprehensible and has continually attempted to evade/avoid tax, not to mention is about to stiff a huge amount of creditors for a lot of money.

Is chunk himself trying to do a sly 5-1. Try and do what he is doing with your left hand. Its not natural.

Not at all and I didnt say that.... In fact had you taken the time to read my post the very first line....

"I have no objection to Alex Salmond supporting Hearts, or Alex Salmond buying a ST for Hearts...."





I object to him using the fact he's bought a ST to promote both Hearts & try and self serve his inflated ego...... He's a politican and publicly should be seen as support of all things Scottish rather than cherry picking what he wants to be seen, as it happens I support his intentions not to attend the Open Championship at Muirfield on the grounds of the clubs sexist membership policy so I'm not just trying to rubbish him wholly on this.

As it happens also, I would urge everyone to vote NO anyway regardless of this, just so we're clear, however thats a totally different debate:wink:

[hibee_nation]

Scotland Free or a Desert, Vote YES.

[Bristolhibby]

He is a polition who supports Hearts.

In that respect he is entitled to buy a season ticket.

As for basing weather Scotlad should be an independent country on a dislike for Alex Salmond or the SNP that's just mental. Rennet the SNP will disappear the day after Independance, job done move on. It's then up to Scots to choose Scottish MPs to form a government.

More right wing governments from London or own on decisions made by our own elected MPs?

It's a no brainer.

Really not sure what he is trying to achieve with this move beyond trying to support his team. The young yam has possibly the smuggest face on the planet.

This must be very urgent business for First Minister to make a personal appearance in front of the press at Tynecastle. He used to be the cleverest political operator in Scotland until he started believing he was untouchable. Over the last couple of years he has become a smug self satisfied caricature of himself. A typical Jambo really.

I don't know about people on here, but there certainly are people out there in the general population who would vote based on something ridiculously trivial like this IMO. The general public are an ass, and I hate them.

"Salmond is a smug ****stain" is seventeenth on my list of reasons to vote 'no'.

[SMAXXA]

Watch stv or bbc news tonight cant say much else at the moment.

Is this what you were referring to earlier the Salmond thing? If so its hardly worth the secrecy and the build up :confused:, im disappointed to say the least thought it was something substantial.

[Scouse Hibee]

Salmond has merely reinforced my long standing opinion of him.

[Andy74]

Is chunk himself trying to do a sly 5-1. Try and do what he is doing with your left hand. Its not natural.

I can do a number of things with my left hand that aren't natural.

[deeks01]

Just an observation here but if people are quite genuinely saying they will vote 'no' because Salmond is a Jambo Fud, will you not be condemning all the rangers fans who will vote no because they are 'proddy' (despite having no clue to the connotations of being protestant and why it is irrelevant) and because they like singing GSTQ while screaming anti Irish/Catholic abuse? Will you , indeed , be supporting these people? Because it comes down to the same thing really. Football and Politics - Do Not Mix.

Why would someone voting 'no' because of Salmond be supporting someone voting 'no' because of sectarianism?

I'll won't vote on either basis but I support the right of every citizen to vote however they please for whatever reason. That's how democracy works.

Are we getting all political about a fat Yam buying a Yam season book?

A wee bit precious no? He is a fat, self promoting tramp and always has been. This changes nothing.

[Oscar T Grouch]

For those of you that think the vote next year has anything to do with the SNP, here is a definition of the word.

ref·er·en·dum
/ˌrefəˈrendəm/
Noun
A general vote by the electorate on a single political question that has been referred to them for a direct decision.
The process of referring a political question to the electorate for this purpose.

This vote has NOTHING to do with the SNP or Salmond, this vote has to do with whether you think Scotland will be better off as an independent self governing nation, or if we would be better off remaining part of the UK and ruled by Westminster.

The easiest way to get Salmond out of your political and general senses is to vote for independence, once that happens all the other parties will have to accept that Scotland will rule herself and they will then form proper Scottish versions of their parties, other parties will be formed and we can have a general election, where you can vote to dump that @rse Salmond.

If you vote for the status quo then the SNP will have to go on existing, just like in 1979, and we will never rid oorselves of this tw@t.

If you vote yes next year and Scotland becomes autonomous there will no longer be the need for an SNP, and we can actually start sorting out the major problems facing Scotland in the future, instead of debating whether we want to do it by oorselves or with the 3 other countries in the UK.

Vote yes of no, but base that choice on what is best for you , your family, Scotland as a whole and not on whether Salmond is a d!(C)k or not, because we all know he is.

[deeks01]

Why would someone voting 'no' because of Salmond be supporting someone voting 'no' because of sectarianism?

I'll won't vote on either basis but I support the right of every citizen to vote however they please for whatever reason. That's how democracy works.

If someone has misgivings about Salmond politically for whatever reason then yes I completely support their right to vote as they feel best. It is a democracy after all. My comparison , apologies if it was unclear , was that those voting solely based on Sectarian views (of which I've seen a few) would surely be seen by most people as rather moronic although it is still their right to do this. Most people would point out when presented with a scenario like this that the mix of sectarianism based on football loyalties used to make a political decision is not a good idea. They should remain separate. Now if any on here were serious , and I have my doubts that any actually were when push comes to shove , about voting no solely because Salmond is a Hearts fan - could a similar argument not be applied? Would the same people still condemn the amplified and bigoted west coast version?

I just thought it may add another angle to the discussion which could become quite interesting.

[RoxburghHibs]

Your opinion which you are entitled too as always :agree::wink:
Suggest you make the effort to spend some time in the company of S & S , as I have on a few occasions,and you will soon note that their "ego's" shine out like beacons
Comments like " In my job most of the time my own opinion is the only one worth considering " from Salmond at Prestonfield Hotel a couple of years ago are proof .
Anyway I'm sure you agree a Hibs Forum is not the place to discuss politics so for me I will not comment on "Yes/NO" further

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :thumbsup:

Surely there are pluses and minuses on both sides of the argument unless you are in the Scotland is currently a basket case camp? Or in the Scotland will become the poorest country in Europe camp if we vote for Independence.

[heretoday]

Salmond's got a right to voice support for his team and I'm sure he'd count himself among the "decent" type of Hearts fan. There are a few!

He should have had a word with the yobbo beside him in the News pic though! Bad PR, Alex!

On the whole he'd be best advised to steer clear of the whole business from now on. He will seriously alienate not just Hibbies but not a few folk from other parts of Scotland who don't share his dewy-eyed view of Hearts FC.

[JohnStephens91]

Alex Salmond looks like Boss Nass from The Phantom Menace. Fat, odius, frog faced prick.

Quite possibly not the most erudite contribution to the debate, but what makes it worse is that you've betrayed a knowledge of the name of one of the characters in episode 1 (2? - nae idea, it's all unforgivable). Your head is obviously full of nonsense, young man (bet you wished I'd called you "padawan" there, eh? :greengrin)!

[Sir David Gray]

I won't be voting for him or his party because I think he's an awful man who only has his own interests at heart and I disagree with his party on many important issues.

The fact that he's a Jambo clown is a mere side issue but it's also the icing on the cake.

Hearts and Alex Salmond go very well together.

[ManBearPig]

I've just heard we may have to pay roaming charges when in England on our mobile bills if we vote to be independent! There's a real reason to vote NO!:stirrer:

[VivaHiberña]

:top marks

It worries me people will not vote YES becuase they don't like the SNP or Alex Salmond.

YES vote is not for either of those - if anything it's the best way off getting shot of them!!

:agree:

The best way I heard this summed up was that voting no because you dislike Salmond or the SNP is like not buying your dream house because you don't like the wallpaper; one it's yours, you can decorate it how you like.

That's true. Scotland will be around a lot longer than Salmond. It's one for the heart rather than the head.

[lucky]

Whilst independence does not mean the SNP and Wee Eck forever, but it allows them the right to negotiate the settlement. I think Scotland could be an independent country and probably survive ok. But why take the risk? There are far too many questions not answered. The UK is one of the richest countries in the world. Even during these times of austerity we are still a rich country. What the UK needs is a distribution of wealth, fairer tax system, investment in public services, Nationalisation of untilities and railways. Then as an island we will see the people put before profit. The seat of government being at Holyrood won't deliver the changes I'm stating it will just move the capitalist system from London to Edinburgh. It's a change of policies we need not a transfer of government.

Do you think there is remotely any chance of this of this happening in the UK? Labour are not interested in any of this, and if you take a "finger in the air" assumption that at least half of any century will see a Tory government, it's just impossible. I'm not saying that independence would deliver these things but Scotland's political make up surely means achievement of at least some of them would be more likely if we didn't have to rely on hoping that somehow the south east of England allows us to do it?

Reading that report on the Scotsman r.e. Alex Salmond offers to help hearts survive....

He states he will step in should the issue become political.....

In what way will this possibly go political?

It’s one company trying to ascertain funds from another company, there should be no political issues at all.

If you don’t have the money you are owed then I’m afraid you go bust......

[Gus Fring]

Barry Anderson is, as usual, reading for too much into this. Salmond would only get involved if he has no choice basically if it became a political matter between the 2 countries. It's like when the Police say "we'll get involved if this becomes a police matter" in silly wee disputes, it doesn't mean the police will get involved.

The general feeling amongst my colleagues in the press is that Salmond is steering well clear of all of this until he's duty bound to do something. He's a Hearts fan but he values being the first minister much more and sticking his beak in here would give his opponents a substantial amount of ammo and what with a certain vote coming up in the not too distant future it could affect that as well. The last thing he wants is headlines saying "Salmond goes all out to help paedo paying, charity robbing, creditor conning business alive"

Scottish Football fans aren't exactly known for "forgive and forget" either and doing his utmost to help Hearts would, at the very least, anger Rangers and Hibs fans and probably the rest of the leagues fans as well.

Rest assured, he'd rather let them go bust than risk losing votes.

(I hate bringing the independence vote into football matters or anything but it's applicable in this case)

Paradoxically, if Salmond and the SNP are to make serious inroads into the West of Scotland then the Rangers supporting demograph is exactly where this is most likely be achieved. You will see far better SNP performance in areas like Airdrie than you will in more 'Celtic-minded' places like Coatbridge.

It is a vote, to either keep the situation as is, or a vote to give a mandate for an Independent soveirgn state of Scotland., to which ever parties stand for elections in the event of the vote being a bawhair over 50% for independence. cant see this mythical catholic minded group being in the equation.

Irish nationalist and Scottish unionist - which to me, seems like a very difficult and bizarre position to take. But, each to their own logic.

George Galloway is perhaps the best known (and most strident) example.

From his own words, he seems to take this position because Scots were colonists (particularly in Ireland) whereas the Irish were colonised.


A numpty tweeted last night in *relation to my views on Ireland: “So, it’s OK for Ireland to be independent, but not Scotland. Twisted logic”.

I replied: “But it is OK, Scotland can be independent if it chooses (unlike Ireland). So why don’t you have a *referendum, now, to find out?”

The SNP have been offering *independence to us since the 30s, an offer unsubscribed to by the great majority. They could have a referendum now to settle the question, but instead plan one in 800 days, maybe.

The Irish did vote for unity and *independence nearly 100 years ago, and their choice was drowned in blood and Scottish settler terror.

There are no settlers in Scotland. If we want *independence, not a shot will be fired to stop it. Scotland is not a colony of England as Ireland was (indeed many English think we’re colonising them). Rather Scotland and England colonised the world.

The bedroom tax will be abolished almost immediately as soon as the powers are transferred to Edinburgh.

Thing is there's no quotes etc in that article ... it's all hearsay..... the closest is

"The First Minister is a well-known Hearts supporter and has told BDO he would be willing to intervene if the issue became political between the two respective countries"
