Levein and MacPhee sent off.....and then they sit right behind the dug out!! Surely the whole point of them being sent off is so they are no longer able to influence things. Daly is up and down speaking to them!

Less than 16000 there.What a money spinner this new stand is.

[theonlywayisup]

Can anyone post the "we're now in the top six, above the Hibs and we've still got all these games at Tiny still to play" statement?

I want to remind myself how it went.

Now the Hertz are 11 points behind the Hibs. Whilst they have re-entered the top six, they are only 3 points off the play-off spot. Also, despite all this rubbish about playing so many games away (from Edinburgh), I should point out that the Hertz have played 7 games at 'home' (W1, D4, L2), whilst Hibs have also played 7 games at home (W3, D1, L3). I think the Hertz are finding out that playing at home isn't such a great advantage in this league.

Next up at Tiny is Motherwell on Saturday, followed by Dundee, Celtic and Hibernian. Wouldn't it be funny if that ends up in four defeats.:greengrin

[lapsedhibee]

More lies from the ugly witch, they started on their girder a whole year ago, maybe she's got a lot on her mind?

She counts from when the old stand finally came down rather than from when the new stand started to go up, the slippery imp.

[007]

Berra biggest cheat/ diver ever

Didn't notice him today as was only sort of watching but he does do a lot of climbing on players and grabbing/blocking them at corners but when someone slightly touches him he goes down like he's been shot. He did it against us when Hanlon barely touched him and won a free kick in the Hearts box.

[WoreTheGreen]

On alba tramps like us baby we were born to run How apt

[Jack Hackett]

Didn't quite see how Walker got MOM when McLaughlin spared them a right doing. Only man in the team who's worth his wage

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Three games since they returned to Tiny. First one delayed as fans couldn't work out the new turnstiles, floodlight failure during the second game and the third one delayed due to an evacuation. Empty seats littered throughout the stand each game and no wins out of three against three sides in the bottom six. Pleasing [emoji41]

Add a safety warning at the end about reduced lighting on exit. It’s all money well spent.

[lapsedhibee]

Can't remember the last time I saw a manager so obviously not wanting to be a manager. How will it end for Potter? Will Ann Regina put him out of his misery, or will he eventually just flounce out? :dunno:

As director of football hecwill have to sack the manager again, himself.

If Partick win their game in hand hearts will only be 5 points above the automatic relegation spot.

Evacuation due to fire alarm caused by faulty equipment it seems.

Their professionalism is on another level right enough.

Apparently the PBS is quieter than a morgue these days. Speaking of which anyone had sight of Pishy lately? Last seen snoring with spit dribbling down his chin in the house of vermin sorry ermine :greengrin. Love to see the yam type vermin land in the play off spot for relegation against a hungry up for it team from the championship. I'd buy a shop load of popcorn for that one.

GGTTH

[ian cruise]

What a complete and utter fanny Levein is. There's just something not right about the guy, have said that since his playing days and it's not an anti Hearts thing. Creepy weirdo.

It's such an odd article, even by his standards. The dig about paying Stewart £1 and that being too much is unbelievably unprofessional. Pressure is getting to him big time and after his inevitable sacking I don't think there's anywhere for him to go.

[EL Green]

Due to the lack of a crowd at the new tiny PBS have they tried to disguise where they play? Sky News were fooled, plenty of seats for Potter to choose from after getting his marching orders today. Room for McPhee too :na na:

[Ronniekirk]

preston said on radio it was the ref they were booing. :yawn:

He really takes impartiality to s new low He is so biased in favour of Hearts he makes no attempt to hide it In fact he flaunts it He really should be reeled in by his employers its cringeworthy and embarrassing at times

There are 8 players inside the goal area and one at the edge of the penalty area. Potter sure likes to defend in numbers.

[truehibernian]

Watched their game on Alba and did anyone hear a safety message about 'reduced lighting' and for spectators to watch themselves when leaving the ground ?

Was one of the highlights (no pun intended) of their game right enough. They are a shambles on and off the park - pleasing as they say :greengrin

Please please please Neil, play with two wingers at Tynecastle on the 27th :aok: They are serious relegation candidates this season. So slow and laboured. Very interesting interview with Budge who was non-committal about whether they can bring in anyone in January, citing costs associated with the stand. Unhappy players, divisions behind the scenes, using media spats as a diversion - karma Mr Levein, karma :wink::aok:

I'd love Hibs to bid for Walker in January :greengrin

Absolutely. And she was modest when she came in but after all the publicity and the Queen Ann bull**** and the media fawning over her and suggesting she was the future of Scottish football, she turned into a right little self centred arrogant cow.

She couldn’t see anything bad about Harry Potter and allowed him to have full control including appointing a complete novice in Cathro and she wouldn’t question all the strange signings including the Jan panic buys with the vast majority through an ex player agency.

She went bullishly into the construction of a new stand, trying to protect club income through some over complicated demolition and build. She has never done construction but decided (presumably to save money) to avoid coost of overall accountable project management of the build. Now the project will cost c£5m more than she expected.

Team crap, manager even worse and crowds falling. It wouldn’t surprise me if they end up scrappping to stay out of the relegation play offs while they average 14.5k each home game.

But she has got herself a wee Hearts tartan jacket so it’s not all that bad.

I'd do it for sheer devilment Dom, but in all seriousness I wouldn't want him anywhere near Hibs. Has talent, yes, but not a player I would want at Hibs. A game lasts 90 minutes but he only plays for around a quarter of that (if that) - and my pot plant has more personality. Give me Barker, Swanson and Boyle any day above Walker. He's in the 'Eoin Jess' category for me, a player who will look good in this league but be well out his depth if he ever went down south. Flatters to deceive for me.

But let's bid anyway :greengrin

This is a tremendous post. I especially liked the going down south part. He's an expert diver who could 'win' us a number of penalties and free kicks around the box with his tendency to exaggerate a situation. Even if we didn't obtain his signature it would seriously wind up the big team who are already extremely vexed at being 11 points behind us and playing like a team devoid of actual football players. Maybe we could also put in a bid of a pound for Lafferty the boy who tried to wind us up yet we're way above his team in the league table and we actually try to play football.

:greengrin

[ancient hibee]

Wonder if Lafferty has the Stokes virus?

[monktonharp]

Well, after watching the Alba match I would be happier if we got Templeton. he was rippin ' them up for erse paper at times and doing all the tricks he learned with them, tripping,handball,tugging and diving discreetly. was noising them up big style. bring him in, that would annoy them:cb

[truehibernian]

I joked with a Hearts supporting mate last month that after NI fail to qualify for the World Cup you'd start to see Laugherty have 'wee niggles' here and there or injuries that keep him out a game or two - started almost immediately they lost :greengrin

If your main striker 'assures Levein' that he is fit and ready to play on Friday (as Levein said today on radio), in a team that can't score for toffee, against a big side who are physical, you don't have him on the bench - I'd go with your inference and suggest something is array with him and Hearts.

Berra wearing a gum shield too - do you need a gum shield when your game revolves around huge left footed hoofs up the park ? :faf: utterly depressing that he has caps and Paul Hanlon doesn't get a look in at that level. Horrendous defender and couldn't lace Paul's boots at present.

I must admit I'm astonished all footballers don't wear them given the propensity for some players to swing their arms about going for headers, so wouldn't slag him off for that.

Berra was wearing a gum shield? Hearts summed up

All boils down to psychology for me 660 - Puyol, Cannevaro, Tony Adams - wouldn't see any of them wearing a gum shield on a pitch. Bit like the 'wearing gloves' or 'leggings under shorts' theory in winter (playing football) - for me it's a sign of weakness from the off.

Admittedly it's a very old fashioned outlook but my old coach wouldn't let us wear gloves or long sleeves on a cold day because in his opinion it showed from kick off we were ready for a battle - froze my you know whats off mind - but it worked more often than not.

Hearts are soft from top to bottom and long may it continue.

She is usually stuffing her face with some sweets. By all accounts one yam fan was very vocal and critical of Budge and her family sorry board of directors and made it clear to them at full time. Given no quick exit for directors there was no hiding place. Budge was taken aback by all accounts.

Just wait to we pump them on the 27th, she will need a police escort.

They're a laugh a minute on and off the park.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I watched the game on ALBA and I was surprised at how much Hamilton were in it, even before the sending off ... the Yams had a good first 10 minutes and then nothing, they were very lucky to get away with a draw and I doubt it would have been any better with 11 men on the park for the full 90 .... That against a team Hibs totally dominated the week before :greengrin I will say they seem to have found a keeper though, he was solid at ER and made a simply brilliant save after Hamilton had hit the post.

The half time audience with queen Ann was telling though ... that's as close as you can get to saying 'there's no money for new players' without actually saying it :greengrin And the backdrop to the interview of the new stand really showed it up for what it is, a bland generic very basic construction of little or no merit, for all the joking about it, it was really surprising just how ordinary it looks .... they had better put a big sign on the worlds biggest truss saying 'main stand' or folk are going to get confused :faf:

Never that many, plenty of empty seats in the highlights- not just the 2 vacated in the dugout

Yet they were boasting the other day via their mouth piece the EEN that they have over 14k season ticket holders

Since we know that they could tickets sold not bums on seats, they only had 1300 or so walk ups and away fans

Tynecastle capacity will still be in the teens, hence no statement as they don't want their fans to really hurt about this!



Must be the reason mate. Strange that the official capacity is not clear

It's super duper massive world class, ok?

Anyway the Jambos aren't bothered by the actual number. In the same way that Levein is 'not bothered' by Michael Stewart

Dots available online - 18,832.

Only 300 available in the centre of the new stand labelled premium. Either side of that is 812 and 976 so even if you add 700 in for press, hospitality etc then that only gets to 19,500.

Yes, there is tiny section which has no dots to depict the police box but the dots immediately behind it are still visible online so were counted.

He's a classic "big teamer" but also knows when to give up, he said 19500 at best but it's a better quality set up than ER. Apparently.

Yeah, the premium section has 300 seats available and looks smaller than the sections either side of it so I’ve allowed a total of 1000 seats in it even though that’s more than the sections either side and it also has press benches etc so I’d say 19,500 is generous and probably about 300 too much.

[Firestarter]

I watched the game on ALBA and I was surprised at how much Hamilton were in it, even before the sending off ... the Yams had a good first 10 minutes and then nothing, they were very lucky to get away with a draw and I doubt it would have been any better with 11 men on the park for the full 90 .... That against a team Hibs totally dominated the week before :greengrin I will say they seem to have found a keeper though, he was solid at ER and made a simply brilliant save after Hamilton had hit the post.

The half time audience with queen Ann was telling though ... that's as close as you can get to saying 'there's no money for new players' without actually saying it :greengrin And the backdrop to the interview of the new stand really showed it up for what it is, a bland generic very basic construction of little or no merit, for all the joking about it, it was really surprising just how ordinary it looks .... they had better put a big sign on the worlds biggest truss saying 'main stand' or folk are going to get confused :faf:

Having seen a couple of clips of the recent Tynie games its obvious the huge regimented spaces are there because they cannot sell hospitality they cannot provide. They can however sell seats that don't provide a non restricted view. It's wonderful actually watching the cash haemorrhage.

The attendance on Saturday was around 15,300 meaning almost 5,000 empty seats if their claimed capacity is over 20k. There were big chunks of empty seats but no way on Earth would you fit another 4,700 fans in them. Their lying has no bounds, sad gits 😂

That will be how many tickets were sold, they calculate 'attendance' the same way we do.
Regarding capacity - useable capacity is somewhere between 19,300 and 19,700 depending how you classify players in the dug outs, directors seats, press spaces, disabled helpers seats, ball boys sitting on stools, police in the ugly tardis thing, Levein sitting on his toilet ****ting himself, etc etc.

[Springbank]

And to think, before Ann Budge took over Hearts, we hadn't won the cup since 1902. She could have had a capacity of 19,021 and the average Yam would have lapped it up.

As it happened, of course, Queen Ann's jambos bottled it in 2016 vs Hibs, 2-0 up, they fluffed it up, the Hibs went on to win the Cup (as the song goes)

Then they bottled it in 2017, outsung for 90 mins at Tynecastle & blown apart at Easter Road, despite Hearts shifting £200k on a new pitch, and goodness knows how much money on a new team of Greek 'stars', Malaury Martin and so on.

So now that 19,021 capacity doesn't seem quite so amusing, what a shame! :greengrin

And, the Epilogue to the Tale, in 2018 the first game of the year is a cup derby at Tynecastle....

The yams have been complaining about the male toilets in the new Tram Shelter. Apparently not enough troughs and far too many cubicles. This is part of the master plan to squeeze in as many seats as they can in to the McLeod Street Stand...even if they are restricted view.

I think Hearts should have built the stand on the scale of Motherwell’s home end. 18,500 capacity is clearly a little ambitious for them.

she definitely has to care about money. they have got to be in a precarious position with that particular commodity jusy now. well over budget, and ti is costing them more weekly as the 2 or 3 levels in the main stand are miles off being ready, and are therefor unable to generate funds to try to return some of the loss .

Of course they will but who do you think will be man enough (or woman) to stand before their web-fingered, windae-lickers and actually say the words -

"We are extremely sorry to announce that despite the over-spend of millions, the humiliating embarassment of the media-scrutiny during construction, and the general dissastifaction of supporters not happy with the seating, toilets, no view of the Castle, space etc, etc - that our new stand does NOT make our capacity larger than that of Easter Road - sadly, much like our team on the pitch, we've fallen short"

Its equally as great to be a Hibee right now as it is gash to be a Jambo - with the added bonus of knowing that things are going to get even better/worse !

Basically this ...... The derby will be a full house, unless the Yams cant sell their home stands out which if they don't get positive results against Motherwell, Dundee and St Johnstone isn't outwith the bounds of possibility. But if they do put up the 'sold out' signs then the announced crowd will be their full capacity and they will have to come clean.

The deafening silence from the PBS up until now says it all .... My guess is not only is the capacity less than Easter Road, its less than 20,000 which if true will be a crushing blow to them no matter how much of a brave face they try to put on it :greengrin

If the forthcoming game plays out how we'd like it, those in attendance will rib them mercilessly before and during the match about their crappy stand. There will be further mirth and an outbreak of even louder singing when they attendance figure is announced. Further delight will ensue when we score the required goals for the win and the Hibernian fans will stay behind to witness the ugly scenes as lines of burly stewards try to protect poor auld Annie and her fellow directors from the torrent of abuse as they navigate the narrow, slippy metal steps and try to find a way back through the shared concourse to the safety of the directors' lounge.

is this genuine?

Whether its real or not one of the things we were discussing coming home from Partick is highlighted on the letter - the lack of segregated directors and hospitality area. Say Lennon was sent to the stands in the next Derby, or McInnes or Rodgers wanted to go to Tynie to do a bit of homework etc etc, are they genuinely expected to use the same staircase and walkways with the average punters? The only main stand i've come across, old or new that doesn't have a separate area for directors and hospitality. On the plus side it should make it interesting if the Hearts current run of form continues. Wouldn't fancy being Budge trying to exit the stadium should they not manage a win soon!

I see the Evening News are putting out another piece today blaming the hearts lack of goalscoring on the fact they haven't played much at tynecastle
https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/analysis-why-hearts-must-get-their-bottom-four-scoring-rate-sorted-1-4632640

The world might have sympathy with that keech if it had been a draconian measure imposed on the helpless jambos by the SFA beaks.
Instead, the journalist completely fails to remember that Hearts have played away from Tynecastle out of CHOICE, their own choice, when they could have played in front of 3 stands like every other team on the planet does during stadium renovations.

Interesting that the police are effectively calling the council out on this and questioning their safety inspection procedures.
In the end I suspect it will merely result in another council inspection at the tax payers expense (maybe a bit of overtime thrown in).
The result will be that everything is fine and dandy, just like last time.

Spot on. Any impartial onlooker with half a brain could see that the stand (and the ground around it) wasn't, and still isn't, anywhere near safe enough for a large scale public event. The safety certificate should never have been handed out.

Shameful is the word, and much as I can't be bothered with most Hearts fans, I really hope there aren't any serious incidents in there as the potential effects could be disastrous.

Hearts equalised at Easter Road 2 years ago :confused: maybe 3 years ago or maybe just made up.

[GreenCastle]

Tiny stadium - massive problems - Smables FC

Below was taken from kickback.. PRICELESS...just admit your over priced dump of a main stand is not fit for purpose .

...........

so in total we have:

- no trackside gates (a minor temporary problem. As if it's hard to jump over and get onto the pitch anyway)
- directors' box location (minor issue)
- craig levein got sent to the stand (police issue? - wtf)
- ticket scanners in the wheatfield went on the blink (this has happened how many times ever, and was related to the new stand how exactly?)
- floodlight issues against Ross County (because no other ground has ever had a floodlight go out before)
- section N standing up (just like they have for the past umpteen seasons? - why is it suddenly a problem?)
- a fire alarm went off (so what)
- lighting problems
- no water in the toilets (again, police issue? - wtf)

So in summary, a bunch of non-issues

police scotland, **** **** *****

So some Jambo pushes the fantasy wife down a staircase, but it was not the fault of the person providing the push. Instead the blame lies with Hibs because....well F knows why. But just to make things worse, the same thing happened again at a later visit to ER! GTF ya halfwit.

That's like me pushing my wife in front of a bus in Princes St and blaming EDC for being responsible for the behaviour of a street.

The reality is this should never have been opened when it was. The cec working night and day to get it opened. Now they have played the smaller teams be prepared for "we're moving to Murrayfieild for a couple of games to allow remedial works to be done". This will allow an increase in revenue for the hibs and celtic matches. The only thing more outrageous is the complete lack of comment by football authorities and the cec on how games were ever allowed to be played at a stadium that presents a risk of to the public in attendance.

AllisBarry, Anne's going to "come out fighting" with a "strongly worded statement" :greengrin:

[CentreLine]

So they made a song and dance about finishing and opening the stand at the third or fourth attempt and somehow managed to scrape a safety certificate (temporary). Then they have played two teams with smaller supports and had almost three further weeks at this building site. Yet they still have a stadium that is, at best, questionable as to its suitability to allow access for supporters. This is a disgrace. They should be made to play behind closed doors until every one of these issues is sorted out.
Shambles of a football club and a disgrace to Scottish football:brokenyam::titanic:

These canutes are already rubbing their hands at the prospect of a couple of money spinning games v us and Celtic at Murrayfield.

I know the prospect of increasing our run is mouth watering and I can't remember a better time to face them, but what's the general sense of feeling about lining these thieving dirty bassa's pockets further?

I would prefer they opened up Easter Road and played it on a large screen (money comes to us) than put any more money into their coffers. Actually only the league game since we get half of the cup game - but still I think you get my drift.

What do you think the attendance would be if both the derbys were played at Murrayfield?

[Deansy]

The police are covering themselves here.

If, God forbid, there is a serious incident at Tiny Park and any of the issues raised in the letter are seen as contributing factors, individuals at the Council could face criminal prosecution.

The fact that the Police have felt the need to do this suggests there's something seriously wrong with the Jambos '8th Wonder Of The World' - surely the faults and flaws mentioned in the letter could've been addressed in a phone-call or perhaps a face-to-face meeting betwen the Police, the council and Hearts ?. Is it possible the relationship between the Jambos, the council and the Police has suffered a wee tiff - brown-envelopes got lost in the post ??. Either way, their new stand has definitely been worth all the trouble and expense as it's provided some pure comedy-gold moments/posts/one-liners for us !
