Levein

[hibsbollah]

Who does that? Strange little man.

[Scottie]

What a throbber he is. Trying to start on Hibs two smallest players in Boyle and Barker right at the end in injury time. Wish he had tried that on Bartley or McGregor.

Never detested a Hearts manager as much as this cant. :jamboak:

I thought I heard that too, even rewound to convince myself I’d picked him up wrong. That’s the sort of thing fans would say to each other in jest. Very strange for him to come out of that and sums up his bitterness towards us.

[Pretty Boy]

Boys a ****ing welt. Never has a club and manager been better suited. Typical bully picking on the smallest guy he can find as well.

Agree totally, but Boyle wasn’t for backing down, Levein only came the tin man because he had a rake of back up. And as for that assistant manager, where did they get him the bloody zoo, total Jakey!!

[Crab apple]

He’s always been a *****bag as a man, player and manager. This mini defensive run will end soon and they won’t win anything. It will all end up painfully for him.

[One Day Soon]

What's this pi5h about him saying he wants to restore 'the natural order' in Edinburgh? How massive of a tool would you have to be as a manager to come out with something as low rent as that?

Truly defining lack of class, particularly since Lennon was generous enough to congratulate them on their win when he was interviewed after the game.

Did he really say that? What a ****. The natural order of things for him is failure. Throughout his playing and managerial career he has been awarded a couple of manager of the month awards. No trophies. Only failure.

[Pete]

His comments don’t make sense as they hadn’t beaten us since 2014 or something.

Our unbeaten run was achieved when we were both on a fairly even financial footing so isn’t that the “natural order”?

Maybe the natural order is Lennon punching him in the face.

[johnbc70]

Pin up that interview on the dressing room wall at ER at next derby, team talk taken care of.

[Scottie]

Wow, what an utter fud. That comment should be used as motivation the next time we play them.
Shouldn't need any motivation at all to play THEM. :rolleyes:

[weecounty hibby]

Leveins natural order is to be a ****ing loser. No winners medals as a player or as a manager. Long may it continue as well. Defined by his hatred of Hibs, probably stems back to their non double winning season when the one point we took of them that year lost them the title. The day he literally what himself to play

[murray26]

A prick is a prick he won’t ever stop being a prick.. get used to him.. we hate him he hates us and I’m quite comfortable with that

[Sir David Gray]

I hope we pump them in March at ER and stick his natural order up his arse.

[TelaStella]

Shame we're not allowed to swear on this forum because after today my hatred for that C*** has pretty much tripled. What the f was that all about with Boyle at the end as well? Some of the weirdest behaviour I have ever seen. As for his comments after the match I just can't wait till we play them at Easter road, PRICK.

Epitomises what it means to be hearts - classless, obsessed with hibs and pro-dirty tactics.

[gazzag70]

“The natural order” from a man who has won NOTHING, Absolutely NOTHING. He really is a perennial loser. His only glory has come from beating us and gloryfying any victory to the ****bos who worship his failure as long he can win the odd derby.

Anybody who is anybody in football must absolutely cringe at the utter garbage that comes out this clowns mouth.

Levein, you are, always have been and always will be an absolutely classless welt of a man.

[tamig]

Exactly. The only order he knows is from the Mercer years when the debt started accumulating. Natural order before that was a fairly even split of wins and draws. He’s part of the arrogant generations of hertz fans who’ve known nothing other than financially doped dominance. Hertz ****.

Shurely shome mishtake? Did Levein no play in the legendary double winning Hearts team of 1986?? Oh hing oan...he might have, but instead spent the 90 mins at Dens perched on the lavvy pan reading about the mischievous exploits of Dundee's favourite family The Broons, and local scallywag Oor Wullie, while his teammates shat themselves in a more public manner leaving Sir Albert to run riot.

Remember that well, came out with a completely gratuitous attack on our players as well, said some pish like "I didn't even know Beuzelin was playing".

When you hear arrogant managers like Mourinho stirring up **** and boasting about themselves you can kind of suck it up: he's a charismatic guy who has achieved tonnes in the game. Levein has won nothing in his entire career. Just let that sink in. :faf:

So, so glad he is not associated with our club. He's Hearts personified.

For manager of his experience, it's a juvenile comment you're more likely to hear from a bunch of Hearts neds outside a pub (too young to go in). Shows himself and his club up for the small-minded little people they are. They are still hurting, badly.

I kinda think this is the root of it all... he has literally won nothing in his whole career, and he didnt even really make an inpact on scotland due to miller and mcleish (despite him being a good player by all accounts) - and he (quite literally) shat out of his potentiallu biggest moment.

The only thing of note he has in his whole career is that he was part of a hearts side who had derby dominance. Thats all he has to cling on to.

Lennon should have just asked him to show him his medals, won in scotland and England. Amd Lewis Stevenson shpuld have done the same. And Hanlon, amd Gray, and McGinn and McGeouch, and Big Marv. And so on...

[Sir David Gray]

A total irrelevance as a player and a total irrelevance as a manager.

He was part of the biggest bottle merchants team of all time in 1986 and as a manager he almost relegated Leicester before he got the sack just in time for them to be saved, Dundee Utd won the Scottish Cup five months after he had left them, then he put out the most embarrassing line up in the history of the Scotland national team and also capped Ian Black.

The man epitomises failure.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Absolutely this.

Mind you, we have a tough set of fixtures between now and then with away games at the Ugly sisters and a resurgent Kilmarnock. We need to up our game and get a decent number of points in order to keep the fans on board and feeling positive.

Folk are right when they say Levin's 'natural order' comment though typical of his lack of class was directly aimed at a strategy of keeping in with the puddle drinkers, like those puddles they will lap up that *****.

But having said that, its the first time I can recall anybody actually employed by their poxy club using that phrase publicly. In view of which its fair for Hibs as a club to take notice of it, as a club Hibs can dismiss fan banter for what it is, but when its made clear that its also the attitude of Hearts as a club towards us that's different.

If we have anything about us as a club at all we should be filled with a massive resolve to ram that arrogance right down his and their throats, starting on the 10th of March. As you say ... we should do all we can on and off the park to make that day a 'welcome to hell' moment for Levin and his bunch of cloggers.

We got beat by a mediocre yam side. We had a shockingly negative build up to the derby that obviously seriously affected us with Stokes out of the squad for whatever it was he was up to in Portugal and other incidents.

Let them crow about it however I would suggest its far better to ignore their over the top celebrations which in Potter's case has permeated into publicly being the weirdo we all knew he was.

Let's concentrate on what's happening at Easter Road and get behind the team which of course the vast majority of our supporters will. We had a terrific run with nine in a row and with a much better build up we'd now be celebrating ten in a row.

Better to ignore the yams as much as we can for now in my opinion and hopefully the boys will put on a better show against Dundee.

Quite a good piece from Aidan Smith taking Levein to task over his OTT reaction to the win:

https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/competitions/scottish-cup/aidan-smith-scotland-s-natural-disorder-gives-lie-to-craig-levein-jibe-1-4668955

Levein is a pretty repugnant individual. He's done his best to airbrush his stint at Scotland's worst ever manager by re-inventing himself as some sort of football guru before venturing back into management. For a guy of his age, his behaviour and comments on Sunday were infantile.

That article pretty well nails it when it comes to not only Levin but Hearts as a club.

I've said it myself many times .... you don't hear other clubs talk about 'natural order' when it comes to derbies .... if ever a club could do it its Liverpool, but their fans would probably cringe at such a classless statement emanating from their club. You wouldn't hear their stadium announcer welcoming away fans from another country to the home of Liverpool's 'big club' either. And as the reporter says here, even in the hate filled Glasgow rivalry you rarely if ever hear such disrespect between club players or management.

When the teams run out on the 10th our DJ should play 'No Class' by Motorhead, what better tune to welcome them with.

Aidan Smith's article underlines the fact that Potter's definition of "natural order" (horrible phrase) is selective. Based on that criteria Hibs only lost 2 derbies between 1968 and 1983. Also Alex Mcleish had a period of losing only one derby in 12. Both pretty impressive.

Yes, indeed we have, but on the brain dead wasteland that is Yams Sickbag, you don't expect to hear it from the club itself because as Lennon rightly said its disrespectful to Hibs, to him as a manager and to our players.

But bang on though. A trawl through sickbag doesn't take long to show that they think they are 'Edinburgh's club' and that their single year of existence more than Hibs somehow entitles them to look down on us. Dirty anti ( their ) establishment Leith interlopers is exactly how they see us. A mindset that breeds arrogant Yam pricks like Levin by the bucket load.

Called themselves St Andrews or something at the time, played in blue, skitted about the Meadows or somewhere looking for games. Think the swimming club has more pedigree than the present institution.

And the same trawl on Kickback reveals every 2nd post referring to 'Hibs Sc@m' , 'Hibs V3rm1n' and the like. The fact that these words are not censored on their site only fuels the hostility.

As I've pointed out before, isn't it curious that when controversial, ill advised remarks are made they suddenly become 'humorous' or banter.

Levein suddenly trying to play them down.

He was deadly serioius when he made them and they are guaranteed to come back to haunt him.

Roll on March 10th.

I think NL now has free rein to make whatever remarks he wants and then put them in the 'good humour', 'banter' column.

cycle proficiency and 50mm breast stroke

He was riding a tricycle at the time and even then he cried all the way. As to the breast stroke, he shat his trunks in the shallow end during his swimming gala and the whole commie had to be disinfected and a search carried out for several missing suppositories.

[Paisley Hibby]

Levein is playing to the crowd with these comments, he knows exactly how it will annoy us and how his own fans will lap it up. I can't believe so many folk have taken exception to it. It's like the same ****** spouted by boxers. If Lennon had said it we would be laughing.

Exactly. Folk need to calm down. Revenge is a dish best served cold (on 10th March).

The point Lennon was making, though, is that he wouldn't make such a comment. Having played for and managed Celtic in the Old Firm derby on many occasions he knows there's a line you don't cross when speaking about your rivals, especially as a manager. It was an immature comment for a supposedly experienced manager to make and betrayed his desperation to end our unbeaten run, a desperation you could feel oozing out of his comments at the Hearts agm last year:

"Listen, nobody has sat in that stand feeling sick more than me. We’ve been poor in derby matches in the last couple of seasons and it’s completely alien to me."

As a Liverpool fan yourself, have you ever heard any of the club's managers make that sort of comment about Everton? That's a derby fixture that (in my time at least) would invite such a comment more than most. I'd be surprised if they have though. I do recall Moyes ruffling a few feathers when he described Everton as 'the people's club' but that's about it.

If we'd won or drawn on Saturday and Lennon had said something like 'it's good to see the natural order maintained' it would have come across as unpleasantly arrogant and disrespectful in the extreme and he would have rightly been criticised for it.

[Paisley Hibby]

He achieved what he wanted, love by the gorgie hordes and has wound up Lennon and the Hibs supp. Hopefully the Hibs players ram his stupid comments down his throat in the next game.

There's no hopefully about it, we will.

[MWHIBBIES]

Really don't see the big deal about this comment, Levein is a twat, we've known that for years. Easy way to shut him up, don't play like we did on Sunday is where I'd start.

Lennon being upset is pointless, do your job better and he never gets the chance to act like this.

From what I was told (by someone who knows him very well) he wasn't popular as a player either when he was at Tynecastle. Which is probably why no-one thought to check on him when he went for a jobby at Dens Park, and some mischeivous scamp had super-glued the lavvy seat so he couldnae play. If Craig had been on the park that day, Albert Kidd would never have scored those goals. It's a pure liberty, ah'm tellin' yaise!

[Eyrie]

The 'Slateford Supremacists' line was a bit incendiary. That's not far short of calling them all nazis:greengrin

My Celtc supporting boss said (unprompted) that the "natural order" comment sounded like Nuremberg. Looks like Smith regards it the same way.

[Peanut Shaz]

If we have anything about us as a club at all we should be filled with a massive resolve to ram that arrogance right down his and their throats, starting on the 10th of March. As you say ... we should do all we can on and off the park to make that day a 'welcome to hell' moment for Levin and his bunch of cloggers.

I've said it before on here, we are far too nice to all visiting teams and supporters. We should be doing everything we can to let them know they are in 'our ground and on our terms'. Put their supporters in the top tier, dont thank them for attending, play tunes to wind them up. We need to toughen up off the park as well. It's all very well being nicey, nicey and community centered bur not on match days. Football first and everything else down the pecking order.

[Not In The Know]

Not forgetting potter also acused Lennon of making a career out of kicking people.

That alone is pretty disrespectful. This was probably the last straw.

I wonder how how many medals and trophies potter kicked into his trophy cabinet.

[Scouse Hibee]

Lennon didn't come with anything resembling that last time we beat as he just wouldn't, and if he did I for one wouldn't be laughing. Its low level fans "banter".

Aye right then. Can't believe the moaning about this especially from Lennon. He's wound some folk up good and proper, Levein must be laughing his socks off at the precious wee hibees taking the bait.

I hate Levein, I hate Hearts. But I am going to have to put the tin hat on here and say I am absolute amazed at how poorly some Hibs fans have taken this from Levein. We know hes a prick so its not new to us.

But anyone who says they wouldn't lap it up if Lennon had said the same or something similar is lying to themselves. The only conversation we should be having is about how poor we were and how poor we have been for a while now and the dressing situation sounds a tad worrying for me. I want to see Lennon go about fixing that, not greeting to the press cause he's had his feelings hurt. Maybe I'm being harsh on him but this just feels its taking the focus away from the performances and the bad publicity we've had with the Portugal trip, Stokes, the loss.

Sorry Neil but the only thing that can make me forget about the shambles the last 10-14 days have sounded is putting Dundee to bed tomorrow. I hope to god we get a reaction of some sorts.

So the 30+ years between Mercer and Romanov wasn't cheating but was actually just a marvelous 'stroke of luck' for them in which they just constantly found better players/managers than us ?. Add in the fact their players/managers were of a standard far higher than the PBS's historical-norm with money that they didn't have and we would've won more derbies if only we'd had 'luck' like theirs !!

I won't be happy until Lennon knocks the f*** out of Potter. Sooner the better Neil.

Have to totally disagree with you. I would not expect a hibs manager to behave that way and would expect the board to have a word with him. We all know Potter is a classless dick but to come out with that childish nonsense is an embarrassment to Edinburgh and to Scottish football. I enjoy beating hertz but no more than beating sevco or celtic. Their obsession with us is cringe worthy and as Michael stewart finally has admitted they only were on top in the last decade or so due to spending romanovs invisible money. There is no natural order as witness by mann City being so far ahead in the epl and ajax, once the top power in Europe, struggling in their league. Its just typical of that small minded, petty club but hardly surprising coming from the worst Scotland manager ever. The fact he's so excited about winning a derby with a late goal says everything about them in the current natural order of things.

I actually don't care about his natural order quote. If that's the kind of thing he wants to say then it's no skin off my nose. But I'd still love to see Lennon knock his block off aswell. :greengrin

A guy who's spent 35 years or so in Scottish football, managed to throw away the league on the last game of the season when it was nearly impossible not to win it only to then go on and lose the cup final a week or so later which he also should have won. He's then carried on his medal-less tradition into management and his only "accolade" would probably be the fact that he's the worst Scotland manager of all time. Talk about natural orders all you want Craig, but you are the absolute definition of a loser. Not even just not winning anything has been enough for him, he's actually managed to nearly avoid cup finals etc altogether. 2 in 35 years, good going ya tramp :greengrin

Our squad has 35 WINNERS medals from major trophy wins. One for every year that specky has managed to avoid winning one.

[ajf]

This may already have been covered as I haven't read the whole thread, but did he not make a similar comment the last time they won a derby back in the days of yore

[Baader]

Aye right then. Can't believe the moaning about this especially from Lennon. He's wound some folk up good and proper, Levein must be laughing his socks off at the precious wee hibees taking the bait.

Who's precious about it? What's wrong with standing up for yourself? If Lennon finds the comments disrespectful why shouldn't he voice that? He is the manager of this football club. How do you think someone like Alex Ferguson or Shankly would've reacted to a comment like that from an opposition manager? Do you think they would just laugh it off?! Of course they wouldn't.

Maybe if you were Hibs manager you'd allow that loser Levein to trash talk and push one of your players? Thankfully Lennon won't and isn't afraid to call him out for it.

Maybe you're more tolerant in allowing bullies like Levein to go unchallenged?Maybe that's being 'precious'? Or are you just being contrary for the sake of it?

[mjhibby]

He shows his actual wee team mentality as he was celebrating beating us for the first time in 4 years. Big teams just take it as another win then on to the next game but he behaved like the underdog having its day. BTW the crowd was 18,700 so nearly a thousand of a the most loyal fans missing. Sad, sad club.

[mjhibby]

Let's not forget where he gave Ian Black his only cap. Petty in the extreme and shows that we , even more than his own club, define everything he does

He is always desperately wanting to be noticed and picking black at er made sure people were talking about him rather than the game being largely overlooked. He is a sad man who we should take pity on and shows what a plonker he is peeing off Lennon. Only one winner there. Their obsession with us is baffling to me as I never think about bar the run up to the derbies. The 0-7 is stuck in their heads for some reason as is 6-2 but that's history but still hurts them. Diddums.

Shanks could start a fight in an empty room you're kidding yourself on if you think he'd accept that. You would. Lennon doesn't and the majority are with our manager on this one. Obviously you preferred Hibs when we were a soft touch about these type of things...

[Kato]

Id rather Lennon upped the ante to be honest. Started talking about Leveins trophy cabinet. Years of financial doping. Hiding in the bogs in 86.And the contents of Leveins hard drive allegedly being of interest to Operation Yewtree. You know, just for the bantz.

[Firestarter]

Potter acted like a man with massive pressure on his shoulders then taken off his shoulders. Lennon seems to be playing deflective tactics over the past 2.5 weeks and has pressure if his own to contend with. He seemed like he was going to explode in that press conference yesterday. I hope for everyone's sake this all blows over and we do the talking on the pitch.

[The_Sauz]

I kinda think this is the root of it all... he has literally won nothing in his whole career, and he didnt even really make an inpact on scotland due to miller and mcleish (despite him being a good player by all accounts) - and he (quite literally) shat out of his potentiallu biggest moment.

The only thing of note he has in his whole career is that he was part of a hearts side who had derby dominance. Thats all he has to cling on to.

Lennon should have just asked him to show him his medals, won in scotland and England. And Lewis Stevenson should have done the same. And Hanlon, amd Gray, and McGinn and McGeouch, and Big Marv. And so on...
That and the fact he broke his team mates (Graeme Hogg) nose with a punch in a pre season friendly against Raith Rovers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Hogg

[lapsedhibee]

True. And a side managed by Shankly would never have lost to a Levein team anyway.

Presume we're talking about the more important of the two Shanklies here, Bob, and I doubt whether he or any other Hibs manager before or since ever made inane statements like Potter. Far from his utterances being a calculated attempt to wind up hibbies, I reckon Potter was utterly out of control after the match because he was so excited/relieved/whatever to have won. Natural order, wish the ball hadn't crossed the line, wtf? He should get someone else to go in front of the microphones after winning a derby until he's fully detumesced.

[hibsbollah]

Also famous for scoring a crucial own goal at Ibrox in 87 when they were top of the league and going for the title again after the 1986 'triumph'. He actually ****ed it up for the team he loves two years in a row. Which possibly explains the whole welt bitterness thing.

[PapillonVert]

Potter reveals his true self!

Would take more pleasure in beating Hibs by cheating rather than fair and square.

He said: “A laugh? I didn’t find it funny. In my time in Scottish football, I’ve seen a lot of people with a misguided sense of superiority in the game – without actually earning it or achieving anything.

I agree that I wouldn't fancy my manager coming out and acting like he has. But there seems to be this weird notion that him wanting to beat us is wrong and obsessive, and we dont enjoy beating them more than anyone else. I love beating Hearts. They're our rivals and if wanting to beat them makes me obsessed then fine. Too many people are trying to play down this loss like "dont care, didn't want to go through anyway". He's spewing his pish as per usual, I have a problem with that because we let him.

[norhfc]

But my question is whether it is factually correct to refer to these people, my grandfather included, as immigrants?

You will need to ask them that question, I cant get my head around it either, just stating the fact.

No, it’s not

They could be, by a stretch , called migrants. I moved from Scotland to London 30 years ago, now back. I regarded myself as a migrant seeking employment. I wouldn’t have called myself an immigrant though as that tends to be used more specifically for people settling from foreign countries.

I applied to go to New Zealand 20 years ago - I would have been an emigrant/ immigrant then.

[Kato]

Id rather Lennon upped the ante to be honest.

Years of financial doping.

You know, just for the bantz.

With you on that bit. That's how their "Natural Order" was achieved, years of reckless financial doping culminating in the money launderer being brought in by a member of Edinburgh Council. "Unnatural Order" more like.

More from Lennon here. I agree with him that Levein had likely been 'sitting' on the 'natural order' comment for a while, saddo that he is:

[Scouse Hibee]

Bully. Yeah. Making sure you push the smallest Hibs player on the park. Do you think he'd have even contemplated that if it was Darren McGregor standing in front of him? Stop bigging up Levein like he's some tactical mastermind. He's a classless s£1#*bag.

Shanks could start a fight in an empty room you're kidding yourself on if you think he'd accept that. You would. Lennon doesn't and the majority are with our manager on this one. Obviously you preferred Hibs when we were a soft touch about these type of things...

I preferred when Hibs were a soft touch? Does being upset about what the big bad man said make us hard does it? Give me strength, god help you if you ever meet a real angry man.

[Baader]

No bother pal. I can stand up for myself. Something you obviously don't advocate. Good to see Lennon no sap either. Don't see where he said he was upset - maybe you can show us that quote? He's giving it back and standing up for his players and this club. Clearly at odds with your philosophy of just rolling over and taking it. And it's you who is calling others 'precious'!

Carry on with your Levein love in...

[Kato]

Mmm, maybe your right - coming from Niddrie and going to Hibs games for 50 years I've hardly ever come across a "real angry man". :rolleyes::wink:

I don't imagine Lennon said what he's said because he thinks it makes us hard (although I personally regard Lennon as pretty hard!). He was rightly (in my view) offended by the lack of respect shown by Levein and called him out on it. Levein's comments were, in my view, exceptionally infantile in such a situation and it says something about the man that he felt the need to make them. As I mentioned somewhere further back on this thread, I imagine the Merseyside derby is one where it would be VERY easy for a Liverpool manager to take the p*** out of Everton given how often they beat them, but I don't imagine many Anfield bosses would show such a lack of class?

Like many on here I like the way Lennon wears his heart on his sleeve and stands up for our club.

[green day]

Are you aware that Levein also didn't bother to turn up for the traditional management post match glass of wine? He's at it acting the "big man" and - as Lennon says - it's the kind of behaviour you might expect from a fan, not a professional manager.

I don't think it's about arguing over degrees of pisstaking between mates, it's 100% about Levein being a twat to Lennon and Hibs.

[snooky]

FWIW, erkies like CL are better ignored. You give them satisfaction when you react.

If he's playing the turd coloured gallery then why take so much offence then? Let everyone laugh at the guy biting as Lennon has just makes him look like he's deflecting the real issues such as Stokes and Swanson and being out the Scottish.

How do you know how much offence I've taken?

Lennon is being asked about it in the press and he can either reply openly or blank the question. He's chosen, unlike some Hibs managers in the past, to say he wasn't happy about Leveins' words and actions after the game. We'll just have to see how that pans out but ignoring it in the past has made us look soft imo.

Did you see the interview? He looked absolute seething to the max. If that's him mellow **** missing the first team coach or taking the piss in training :greengrin

If this was the other way about we would be slagging off Potter hiding behind a siege mentality to appeal to the support deflecting being emptied out the cup and the squad issues.

Acting like you wouldn't kill to win a football match is probably a fairly sane approach. I was asking where you saw hibby people claiming that they didn't want to go through to the next round.

Scouse I think you are losing the debate :agree: CL is a grade A cock and knew exactly what he was doing if NL fails to mention it he is showing weakness he had to react right or wrong.

Nows the time to let it drop never to be mentioned again unless we win in March :wink:

[WhileTheChief..]

Lennon commenting on Levein’s statement made it a story.

If he’d said nothing the press would’ve ignored it and Levein goes away chuckling to himself.

Now at least there’s been a few pundits call him out for being a tw4t and his behaviour is being discussed. He’s been made to look foolish in the media and his smug remarks have already come back to bite him.

Meanwhile Lennon can sit back and watch.
Make no mistake, Lennon has got one over on Levein here :cb

One thing that prick levein saying it, another the official club getting involved...classless pricks verging on the old docksiders mentality...

[O'Rourke3]

I'm pretty sure the docksiders comment came from the same game Levein had a go a Tony Mowbray for not coming back for a drink and was all over the media about it. Missing the post match get together when you are the host seems like the behaviour of a prick. Of course if your world view is there is a natural order then you call yourself out as a prick.

I was aware it was Phil and didn't think that needed clarified. I have it my head it was the same game and not trying to make a case that was a Bogmonster Rolf quote. This was the start of Hearts starting to perpetuate the big team idea though and pointing out the irony of CL moaning about a rival manager not attending a post match ritual. Was Neil Lennon supposed to bring his own bottle?
