The generic Hearts thread

[CentreLine]

Horrified and Gobsmacked. They’re at it now trying to finish the press release bingo early.

Just as a matter of interest, exactly how many goals did that goal machine Langer score for them? Remember him? He’s that guy who scored in every town he plays in. 🤔

Think Langer was another of their midfield maestros and the man who scores in every city was Avdijaj.

[Bostonhibby]

"The Jambos owner also explained Robbie Neilson's squad trimming and why she picked her new chief executive"

Her new CE? Surely she's selecting on behalf of the FOH?FOH are just the ones who give her the money to play with. Doing stuff like the million pound pitch which turned into a tattie field right through to specifically telling all and sundry she was spending millions with the sole aim of avoiding relegation only to achieve.............relegation.

There's only one show in town. The megastand will be finished before she leaves, and that's saying something.

Thanks buddy 👍🏻 My mistake, you can probably understand why I forgot the eminently forgettable goal machine.

[h1bs4life]

Hopefully she is there for a long time yet, she loves the attention and publicity.
She came in stating there were too many clubs in Scotland then she begged them to vote for her.
She was voted on to SPFL board to sort things out and lasted a year.
Despite spending other people’s millions has she actually finished anything.
The new wonder of the world office block with the glass curtain , forgot to order seats ,had to change the layout , the staircase to nowhere , not knowing what they are going to do with some of the space in the stand and no money to finish it.
The million pound pitch that was ruined because one of the benny factors wife's wanted a concert on it.
Sure she likes to be in with the oneleagueback crew as they once sent her flowers , sure that where Stendells name came from.
The only thing she wouldn't listen to anyone about because of her undying love for him is anything bad about Leven to hilarious consequences .
She was very unlucky at the court of session and arbitration finishing 2nd at both places.
The million pound contracts that allegedly never went to tender she gave to Hibs supporting brother , the club bar managed by her Hibs supporting nephew.
Luckily nobody from the press calls her out neither do the thick Hertz supporters probably scared she leaves and takes benny factors with her.
If she continues her monumental #### ups I for one say long live Queen Bagpus Anne

Her comments on the new CEO are great...

I can’t say I knew him well but I did know him....Trump would be proud of that one.

He was easy to talk to....defo up there on the key competencies list.

He’s never worked at a club but he knows football....so actually has never done the job you have given to him or worked in a club environment at all. Perfect [emoji108]

He knows a bit about Europe and European football is changing....urmm not exactly too of a championship teams needs that, which is handy as knowing a bit about Europe because he had a few SFA jaunts there probably doesn’t really add up to too much at all.


Almost as convincing as her list of reasons she gave for Our Daniel at the infamous introduction presser.

[Jones28]

Here she's talking about the new CEO McKinlay. But I wonder if she still thinks this applies to her selection of last season's manager Daniel?

Quite rare to find a CV with “inept, downward spiral, failure” on it.


At least they’ll start triple checking orders for things like seats now.

Anyone else think that it strange that teams like Millwall, from London, travel all the way to the Oriam, to train?

Surely there must be nearer places for them to train than that....

what was the other team, Hull?

I seem to recall that Barcelona had training camps in Scotland and played Hibs and Hearts at Murrayfield. By your logic they should have stayed in Spain.

Yep their start of pre season used to be outsourced to the highest bidding events company hence the training camp at St Andrews and the friendlies at murrayfield and tannadice where local teams where sourced as opposition...not just an opportunity to challenge themselves against the famous in front of 60,000 of our pink chums as my deluded neighbour still believes

We were involved the second year as the initial year had a big payoff in ticket sales due to the novelty of barca being in town without the bigot bros being involved for the neutral, I think it more lucrative to the Far East now

Budge is hopeful that the first team squad can resume their schedule on Monday, but still can’t make head nor tail of why the SFA and SPFL decided to force them into a week of inactivity.

hoping they can resume on Monday. You mean the date that the JRG said you could go back to training at the origina notice to stop training :rolleyes:

[Col2]

Seems to be a lot of chat that John Souter has had another bad injury. Don’t like many of the jambos but he seems a decent young guy who has been unlucky with injuries. Hopefully not as bad or just a stupid rumour. Now if it was Naismith....

[Since452]

Was having a conversation with my Jambo mate last night. He's still gutted, and can't understand why they punted Stendel. Reckons rebuilding in the Championship with him clearing the deadwood and bringing his own guys in would have been ideal. Thinks the joy around Neilson from other Jambos is all false and he's dreading the style of football. Good to hear one of them being honest.

I played golf against a Jambo the other day. He thought that the season should have been declared null and void but conceded that could not happen due to the tv money. He also conceded that a 14 team league would not work.

It surprised me that he want Money spinning Neilson back though. He felt that Stendel did not play Hearts football.

His preferred choices were "another successful foreign manager or someone like Eddie Howe who could be tempted by some form of equity share from all the success he would create"

That's awful news for Souttar. He's always come across as a decent, grounded guy and he's clearly well thought of by a lot of folk in the Scottish game. Wouldn't wish that kind of injury on anyone, but it's particularly tough on him given his age and history.

Hope it turns out to be false, but that seems unlikely just now.

Two league wins in his entire tenure; 1 point out of 6 against Hamilton; 1 point out of 6 against Kilmarnock, 1 point out of 6 against St Johnstone; 0 points out of 3 against St Mirren, 1 point out of 3 against Ross County; 4 points behind 2nd bottom; 6 points behind 3rd bottom.

The below from kickback
“really think it's time to cut our losses with Souttar. I think he had the potential to be a great player but that's him has 3 achilles injuries now and that's a pattern by definition. Shame for the lad but we need a reliable CH that can play 40-50 games a season. Not one who breaks down”

Terrible news for Souttar, but on the upside at least Naismith will have someone to keep him company in the treatment room.

[PatHead]

I never bought into the "great" player thing. He is a better than average Premiership centre back. The family Jambo always said he was only good when berra played alongside him. He needs to be guided.

If he didn't play for Hearts would he be as highly regarded? They are very good at bigging up their players.

In any event its tragic for him if it is the same injury though. Is it the 3rd time with the same injury?

Souttar was highly regarded as a prospect when at Dundee United but has never quite built on that, mainly due to injuries.

[Baker9]

It is hard to qualify or quantify exactly what. In his last three weeks or so there was the beginning of some form of structure and stability about their team. Still a bit of a shambles but improving and they had a chance. We will never know.

Absolutely mental.

Other than Motherwell I don't think we've been outplayed in any game so far. Maybe for periods of games. But that's to be expected.

We're winning games without playing to the best of our abilities. Just wait til we start reaching those heights! Be a joy to watch. Much better than championship football anyway.

Tears and snotters is an understatement. We're 10 points off their total for the whole of last season after only five games while they are twiddling their thumbs until October until the Championship starts. Talking about Porto going bald early is where they're at. Must be pish.

Kickback does cheer you up sometimes, thanks to their inspired lunacy. I'm currently enjoying the discussion about whether their centre back problems can be solved by Chris Hamilton, whose only first team outing was a last-day-of-the-season 1-0 hammering against Kilmarnock two seasons ago ... and who, according to transfermarkt, is under 5'7".

[MacGruber]

If you think it’s bad now, just wait until we’ve sold Doidge, Allan and Porteous to pay for our share of Hearts £8m compensation claim.

Almost think it would be better if we’d got relegated instead of them.

They'll have more funds to add to their kitty once they start selling their large stock pile of Champagne flavoued ice lollies too

The Porteous thread on JKB is a direct display of the difference in class between us and them. Plenty of their lot fantasising about a young footballer breaking his leg and ending his career, whereas the majority of posts about Souttar on here were wishing him well.

Absolute **** of the earth to be wishing injury on any player, just because you don't like the team he plays for. There's something deeply, emotionally and mentally wrong with you to act in such a way. They seem to have a lot of them.

Bitter ****s. Rot in the Championship.

This is my hope for them, they seem to have learnt no lessons in their relegation, their hubris remains and I hope to hell they don't win the Championship, a wee play off loss to Hamilton would be nice. I genuinely think if they don't start winning immediately they could struggle, the shortened season could help my hopes too.

Absolutely pish player but by all accounts a nice guy. Shame for him that his career is probably done but he’ll be instantly forgettable in Scottish football.

[Brightside]

Kickback does cheer you up sometimes, thanks to their inspired lunacy. I'm currently enjoying the discussion about whether their centre back problems can be solved by Chris Hamilton, whose only first team outing was a last-day-of-the-season 1-0 hammering against Kilmarnock two seasons ago ... and who, according to transfermarkt, is under 5'7".

Chris Hamilton is about 5ft11 i think. Decent young player.

[mal]

Chris Hamilton is about 5ft11 i think. Decent young player.

Maybe he has had a major growth spurt but he's listed around 5'7" in various places, including some articles from a couple of years ago where his height is cited as a potential issue for a player in his position. They seem to think he's wee over at KB.

[Vault Boy]

They have 'mods' but I'm not sure they actually do anything. It's either that, or they actively encourage the toxic bile that's spouted all over that cesspool of a website.

I must have missed the news of the Souttar injury. A real blow for the guy, but how did it actually happen? Today's BBC report makes no mention of what caused it:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53875788

What I'm getting at is if Hearts haven't been training for the last 10 days or so how would he sustain such an injury again? Or have they been flouting the training ban?

He is on loan at the moment though and wont be back at them until January, thats according to their website

183cm on Wikipedia but 173cm on Transfermarkt. Maybe a typo? The Jambos all seem to think he's on the small side. There's a completely different Chris Hamilton who is 5'11" who plays American Football.

I think the Hearts' website is out of date and his loan spell at Cowdenbeath refers to last season.

The chat is he was "rehabbing" an injury so wasn't training in a large group. The details are sketchy though...or should I say shady.

Shameful, but I'm confident this is a tiny minority of the 400,000 Hibs Obsessives, most of whom know more about Hibs than most Hibs fans.

Football brings out the infantile in us all, that's part of it's attraction. But Kickback seems to be massed by sour schoolchildren. It's hilarious but sadly pretty representative of the attitudes of the board and club. There's something just plain weird about a huge section of the Hearts support.

Kickback must honestly be bad for your health. To have that much hatred, pettiness, negativity & whatever else in almost every post (or at least every second post).

Hearts playing a friendly today against Sheffield Utd and 1.5m man Hickey is in the starting line up. Thought if it was that close to being a done deal they would have him wrapped up in cotton wool

📋 Team to start vs @SheffieldUnited

Zlamal, Smith, White, Halkett, Damour, Hickey, Walker, Lee, Moore, Roberts, Boyce.

Subs: Stewart, Wighton, Garuccio, Brandon, Irving, Henderson, Hamilton, Frear (listed as Trialist - awaiting registration), McGill, C. Smith, Denholm. https://t.co/2wvGRxQt6h

That team would strike fear into many a fans heart. Especially in Alloa, Arbroath, Kirkcaldy, etc.

Not in the Scotland squad so probably not interested in playing for Hearts.

Kickback must honestly be bad for your health. To have that much hatred, pettiness, negativity & whatever else in almost every post (or at least every second post). Its bound to have an effect on sleep, diet, blood pressure & general wellbeing if thats how they act for the rest of the day when not posting. I dont bump into that many jambos as Im not in the country but my mates who are arent this bitter at every chance. Surely this isnt representative of the general support, I hope not or its gonna place extra pressure on the health service. What a horrible place to want to hang out ( I realise the irony of this as I was over having a look ;-)

A bitterest bunch there is none. The irony of spending others money cheating for years too.

it’s not representative. The internet naturally gives the dregs a platform to spew their bile.

the average jambo can have a laugh and a joke, and goes about their business each day much the same as everyone else.

[G B Young]

Can see why the new CEO got the job - he’s got the same arrogance and hubris as Budge:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53940375

Of course they are firm favourites to finish top of a 27 game Championship, but what if they don’t? Will they take the SPFL to court again?

Yep, it just seems to be blithely taken for granted they're winning that league. Very disrespectful and hopefully an incentive for other clubs to make things as hard as posdible for them. I would love it if they somehow failed to get promoted.

Hugely arrogant attitude pretty much the only way we are not winning the league is a second spike. :rolleyes:

Did he not watch them last season?

[JimBHibees]

Is Oly Lee back at Hearts

Saw a picture few weeks back him training with them. Assume he will be trying to sort a loan down south.

[JimBHibees]

I assume thats Sheffield Utd youth team? Why would a PL team want to play a Scottish Champ team?

Fleck scored the only goal. No idea how strong a Blades team were out

Obviously Hearts would be straight into the EPL after one season because they're owned in perpetuity by a bingo caller who is an expert at all forms of businessy type things.

Ok but why is their main fan site so minging?

Why have most Jambos on social media spent the past several months screaming about conspiracies, unfairness and a maroon pound boycott?

Why, most pertinently, can Budge get away with such ridiculous behaviour and get the approval of the fanbase?

Something doesn’t add up.

the roasters all over Twitter will probably be the same roasters that post such ludicrous nonsense on kickback. I suppose when you have such an echo chamber where no alternative opinions are tolerated it does become a bit cult-like. Mild case of brainwashing if you will.

i still struggle to believe that the majority of the tens of thousands of hearts fans in Edinburgh are like that.

I hope so too, but that still leaves Budge who acts like the biggest roaster of the lot and they seem to lap it up.

Things like lying about the number of seats their stadium has - an objective, verifiable fact - is Trump behaviour.

Nope, it’s been a persistent and deliberate falsehood, repeated often in print and elsewhere even after they had finally put all the seats in and knew it was wrong.

If you are going to announce attendance you announce it. Approximating the crowd is pants. If I can be tribal for a minute, Hibs declaring the non show STs is poor, our neighbours proclaiming sellouts week after week is pathetic at any venue. Pretty sure our only ever sell out(post East Stand completion) was in the Championship when Craig's penalty was the winner.

Had a wee look on Kickback to see how livid they were over us signing Murphy. I wasn't dissspointed. Apparently we won't get five games out if him and he'll be injured for the semi. He's 31 which makes him old and expensive which shows we're absolutely ****ting it for the semi. Conveniently forgetting their golden boy Naismith is two years older.

Their OTT confidence for the semi final is staggering. They're more confident than I am and we're the undefeated Premiership side while they haven't kicked a ball yet. I certainly wont be talking about destroying them like they are. Nuts. I'm quietly confident but it's football.

They are going to dish out this hammering by walking through our powder puff midfield and they now have what was missing last season, which is Frear who is going to set up plenty for Naismith and Boyce.

His wife is a Hibby and I'm going to grass him up first chance I get.

You do realise that it is only because of their benevolence that they are letting the National team use “their” facilities. Even though it disrupts their preparation for the start of the championship season they are delighted to do so for the greater good of the game.

It’s September so I’m going on a Hearts Detox for a month. I won’t read about or discuss anything to do with them.

Covid 19 has impacted the entire world yet the Hearts thought it was all about them. They are an angry, stupid and self-centred club, which isn’t good for them and probably isn’t good for us either.

Maybe if we ignore them for a bit they might start acting in a slightly less unreasonable way?

Hearts were playing away to Burnley today and lost 4-1 here are the teams. No idea how strong this Burnley squad is?

Burnley: Norris, Lowton, Long, Tarkowski, Pieters, Westwood, Benson, Gudmundsson, Rodriguez, Thompson (Mumbongo 65), Richardson (Elva-Fountaine 73).

Hearts: Gordon; Brandon, Halkett, Hamilton (Trialist 45), White (Garuccio 65); Lee (Cochrane 65), Damour (C Smith 65); Ginnelly (Moore 65), Walker (Frear 45), Roberts; Wighton (Irving 45).

I honestly don't think they will win automatic promotion. Other teams might look crap on paper, but they will not be laying down and letting Hearts take 3 points off them easily. Stumble into the start of the seasons and watch the panic set in!
