Halkett interview in the EEN

[Juice-Terry]

"It’s a massive club, it’s so well organised and I’m just really looking forward to the season getting started."

"It’s a big club with a massive training ground."

“Yeah, [the Hertz support in last season's cupfinal] was massive. Obviously, it is something you get to look forward to at a club this size."

Massive club. Well organised. Massive training ground. Massive support. Massive size. :faf::faf::faf:

Massive double cooked chips.
Massive egos.

Feel free to add.

He's in for a massive reality check

Should fit in well. Levein’s a massive *****.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Massive Pink Phallic Symbols

[MrSmith]

I really do think there is a person standing just out of sight of the camera, holding a board prompting the player what to say. Its always the same sentences when a player joins Hearts, embarrassing to say the least.

[MWHIBBIES]

Obviously a bit stupid with the vocabulary of a 6 year old.

Massive anonymous donations.

Massive real negative net income.

Massive big hoofs.

[The 90+2]

Massive **** up not ordering seats for a stand with a massive view of a high school.

[Pretty Boy]

Massive (growing) gap between League Cup wins

[Fife-Hibee]

Massive glass curtain ! 🤣

[Kato]

Massive stadium but smaller than Hibs.

Massive cup final support but couldn't sell half the stadium.
Massive training ground that isn't theirs.

Wait till he finds out Levein is a massive fud, whose treatment of players leads to massive amounts of resentment.

[Hibs4185]

Massive Grinch (the photo comparing old Budgey to the Grinch)

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Massive amount of people still out of pocket due to hearts spending massive amounts of cash that didnt belong to them

[Since452]

Massive bottlers. Imagine bottling a league you already won in September

[Bostonhibby]

What Hearts do better than anyone else is Biglyness, no other club does a better job of distracting their fans away from reality by just telling them they're Bigly.

Every one else is in their shadow because of how Bigly they are.

Winning nothing and sliding down the table, having actually built in a smaller capacity, smaller average crowds than your neighbours and a tiny wee non compliant pitch does not get in the way of their Biglyness.

Didn't think he came over too badly when I read it a couple of days ago. Didn't read it all though and haven't looked at it again but I don't think he does the Hearts are bigger than Hibs thing that some do.

He says something like Hibs and Hearts in Edinburgh are as big as Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow.

I might still decide he's an erse but not yet.

Massive medal collection won by the manager.

Oh wait..

[cocteautwin]

Massive laundry bill for the towels at the side of the pitch.

Did they ever score from a long throw by the way? Just curious.

Massive amounts of the fans money (£5m) given to a related party for service fees due in the building of their new stand. Roughly equivalent to the total overspend, funny that. Should have been a massive story in the Scottish media but was massively ignored.

Probably because it's nonsense.

[Pretty Boy]

Massive tears from a Bulgarian balcony.

Massive echo from solo clapping on the piazza in front of an unfinished stand.

[G B Young]

Massive raft of dud signings every season which Levein never seems to get taken to task for by Budge or the media.

[Bostonhibby]

Agree, but a raft is taking it too far, bad enough signing batches from the back of an agents ford transit but even hearts wouldn't expect them to travel by raft?

Are you certain these aren't joinerwork/fit-out costs?

Whatever it is, it's massive :aok:

[Smartie]

Massive conspiracy theory?

[Peevemor]

Whatever it is, it's massive :aok:

Maybe, but the "related party"'s business carried out work on both the temporary changing rooms under the Wheatfield and the main stand fit-out (possibly including payments to sub-contractors). It's a bit off to spread rumours and cry scandal when you're not sure why the money was paid.

And the related party is a very sound, trustworthy Hibee that I first met 20 odd years ago.

[The 90+2]

Big up Haulket all over the media, sell Souttar through the back door and nobody blinks an eyelid. Pretty clever.

[Iggy Pope]

Why wouldn’t builder costs be in amongst the overspend? Are only consultants part of that?

Cocteautwin's post suggested that Budge's brother has pocketed £5m of Hearts money for consultancy work. That's total nonsense.

[Peevemor]

My post? Delete that please. I don’t know Budges brother from Adam. Delete ASAP.

Edited - sorry for the mistake, that's what happens when I post on the sly when I'm meant to be working.

Talk to him then. You’ve quoted me with your nonsense my friend then edited it. Not nice.

I was answering you, I made a mistake, fixed and apologised to you.

Nothing malicious and no big deal.

[Jim44]

Massive sums him up. Is he really a pro footballer with a girth like his? Seriously.

I’ll delete the quoted post then which is what you should’ve done big deal guy.

Is there any need for the aggression? Was a simple mistake and an apology was given.

Mountains and molehills spring to mind.

Agreed. No aggression though. Read what you like. Bit scurrilous to band names about though. Budges brother indeed.

So you agree then?

[Peevemor]

Everyone in the Edinburgh building game knows he was involved in the project. Many will know him personally.

What's "scurrilous" is people unjustly accusing him and his sister of being up to no good.

[matty_f]

So you agree then?

I was just acknowledging the response, Iggy.

I for one hope the brother got as much money out of them as possible.

I never accused him of anything. Or his bloody sister.
I’ve been involved in the ‘Edinburgh Building Game’ at ascending levels since 21st July 1980 and I’ve never met him or spoken to him, or dealt with him. There you are.
I merely commented on a post and I think (only my opinion) that you need to either take a step back or get back to your work which is why you dropped the ball in the first place.

I’m out of this now.

[Dalianwanda]

Surprised the massive glass curtain hasn’t been mentioned
