I’m sure Budge in one of her early reconstruction crusades also claimed that hertz could fund testing for all clubs - but only if they remained in the Premiership. That was a few weeks before the Anderson gift came to fruition. I still think that happened by accident after the old bat let slip in her weekly Sportsound sermon that the donation had no strings attached - much to Neil Doncaster’s surprise.

IIRC Doncaster asked her to submit this in writing and it caused a bit of a stir. I’m sure budge went on a rant about it!

He did mention that it was witnessed by a n other. He wanted it in writing to ensure things were done correctly .

It was in her main reconstruction proposal document. Any decent journalist would have identified the attempt to misrepresent a third party's charitable donation as the club's own funds and the hint that the money would only be made available if a decision was made that benefited Hearts commercially as out and out corruption and it would have been back page headlines for a long time. Sadly, we have the exact opposite of decent journalists reporting on our game.

Scottish Championship clubs have rejected a proposal to permit up to 5 substitutes per game. SL1 and SL2 will both adopt the 5 subs rule. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54353395

I wonder if this is a deliberate attempt by other teams in the division to limit the advantage that Hearts' spending power gives them. It could be quite crucial when it comes to how they manage the likes of Naismith's game time.

why no excuse?? They've got a decent squad - would likely be a top six side if they were in our league - it's as hard as a game against (say) Motherwell... Will be a tough match - if we turn up, we can certainly win though.

Have they though? Would they though?

They've lost a lot of players from the side that was bottom of the league last season and in poor form for much of the season before that under three different managers. They've lost Hickey on a transfer and Souttar and Berra are both out injured. Unless they do something spectacular before the end of the window the players they'e brought in don't look like SPFL top 6 quality. I don't think they've got a single player who would get in our starting 11 and not many who would get on the bench.

Hearts' first team squad (according to their website, which is out of date, and their wiki page):

GK: Craig Gordon, Zdenek Zlamal, Ross Stewart, Colin Doyle (on loan to Killie)

Defenders: Michael Smith, Aidy White, John Souttar (long-term injury), Christophe Berra (out for 6-8 weeks), Ben Garuccio, Jamie Brandon, Craig Halkett, Mihai Popescu (currently in quarantine), Chris Hamilton (loan at Dumbarton)

Midfielders: Jordan Roberts, Peter Haring (just back after career-threatening injury), Jamie Walker, Olly Lee, Harry Cochrane (flopped on loan at Dunfermline last year), Anthony McDonald (was on loan to Dunfermline last year and could barely get a game), Loic Damour, Lewis Moore, Andy Irving, Elliott Frear, Josh Ginnelly, Andy Halliday (added to original post)

Forwards: Steven Naismith, Craig Wighton (loaned out to Arbroath last season, has never scored a competitive goal for Hearts), Liam Boyce, Euan Henderson

I could have sworn I put him in. Must have got too excited when I was typing Loic Damour (still under contract until 2023 by the way).

[mal]

A wee quote from Kickback that puts Hearts' squad in a bit of context:


Still baffled by the decision to send Hamilton out on loan. Even waiting to ensure that when Popescu comes out of quarantine he can get match fit quickly would have been more sensible.


We currently have Halkett as our only match fit centre back. Popescu hopeful should get up to full match fitness quickly. Other than that our options are Smith but that leaves us looking short at right back and Haring who is apparently still a fair bit away from being fit enough to play regularly.

[B.H.F.C]

What makes you think they’d be top six and have a decent squad? They’re still full of the garbage that got them in to the position they find themselves in. Gordon probably improves them in the goalkeeping position but apart from that?

History tells us it’ll be tough though. Despite our respective positions they’ll all expect to win while we’ll hope to win. This is absolutely in the must, must, must win category for me. Losing would undo a lot of Ross’s good work so far.

A wee quote from Kickback that puts Hearts' squad in a bit of context:

Saying Halket is their only match fit CB is a bit of a stretch too. Anyone who's played football at a reasonable level knows that you're not fully match fit until you're 6/7 games or more in to your season. Friendlies and training just don't cut it. You could be fit yes, but match fitness and sharpness is a different thing. Usually the same reason teams from Sweden etc do well in Europe against us. Plus Halket is a fat *******.

[jacomo]

It's incredible what an irrelevance Hearts have become. Forgot they existed until this thread popped up.


I purposely ignored them for all of September and it was good. I’m back for the laughs.

Have they resolved their ‘18 live games guarantee’ squabble yet? Or are just content to forgo any season ticket income for season 21/22? They are dead rich so could no doubt afford it.

He signed a 3 year contract in May 2017 he signed a years extension to that deal in January 2019, so you'd assume he will be there until next summer. Don't think the falling out has been forgotten but given their lack of CBs at the club they probably want to keep him, he has experience of the Championship too :greengrin

I think they have underperformed. They are still left with 5-6 international players. They've made some decent signing and they have a good manager. A lot better manager than they had last few years tbh. Also a lot of the top league teams are a bit weaker than last year. If they were in our league I'd see them as a top 6 team. They certainly wouldn't be far off thats for sure. It will be a tough match. My initial post was to the "no excuses" comment - that's way too simplistic for me. It would be a real blow to lose, but I wouldn't judge Ross on one game - the overall season will be far more important for me personally.

Losing a semi final to them, as things currently stand, would be a huge blow. The emotional reaction of fans to losing to them, as a championship club, would be massive. If you take that emotional aspect out of it then it’s absolutely right that we should judge how we’re doing over the course of the season but that wouldn’t happen. Just for arguments sake, if we lost to them, then lost up at Aberdeen the week after, there would be people in full on crisis mode. We can’t let it happen and I am in the ‘no excuses’ camp. We’re superior to them but we’ve said that before...

I make that 24 players and Steven Naismith could easily fall to injury again.

Of the others, I reckon Haring is still a mile off playing and think there is a real chance he will break down again. Levein was an idiot playing him in the cup final. Could yet cost the guy his career.
Soutter is obviously a mile away and his injury appears chronic, Berra is still injured and really hasn't been the same player since he was badly injured so I think he is all but done.

Boyce will be highly effective for them this season and despite their issues they will win their league but .... won't beat us in the cup unless they have a lot of luck.

This summer Dundee have signed soon to be 35 years old Charlie Adam, which is impressive.
However, Kane Hemming left in the summer, Berra went back to Hearts and McPake doesn't appear to be the brightest of managers.
Striker Andrew Nelson & centre half Josh Meekings also left.

The Irish forward Afolabi they signed from Celtic, played 6 games for Dunfermline last season and that is the extent of his senior experience.
Hemmings other replacements are Alex Jakubiak, Danny Mullen and the wild card Nicholas Hamilton.
Are any of them as good as Hemming. I think not.

The only other player that they have signed is centre half Lee Ashcroft from Dunfermline.

A lot of Dundee's success this season will depend on how much they can get out of the senior midfield trio of Adam Dorrans & McGowan? There is a chance they could rule the midfield in games but someone will have to do their running.

Given all of the above I'm not seeing them being ahead of Hearts at the end of the season.

It's true Gordon is not currently in the squad. May never get back in...but he is a quality goalie and the essence of my original post is that Hearts have a good squad in Scottish football terms, and would likely do fine in the top league with their new manager. Will be a good challenge for us - and the view that "we've no excuse in the semi" lacks that context..

Imagine being bitter about another club because your own club has faced administration and two relegations in the space of six years.

They should worry about the mess closer to home before having the audacity to comment on the team third in the top league of Scotland.

The lead up to admin was fine though according to one of the intelligentsia on the thread as they were signing internationalists and Euro Championship winners. A couple of sensible contributors though.

I looked back to the start of the thread and the fawning over Murray is incredible. They seem to think he’s some kind of Scottish football saige.

I saw a thing on twitter the other day about a student that had done an (original) categorisation of conspiracy theories.

It started at the bottom of the pyramid with things that actually were real, like MK ultra and cointelpro

Then it was things people have legitimate questions about. Epstein, area 51 etc..

Next is the harmless conspiracies like Bigfoot, Nessie, crop circles and things of that ilk.

Then things that can actually be harmful to a person and society like anti vaxxers, flat earth, chemtrails, birds aren't real (yes, seriously, on no account Google this)

The last category was called the "anti Semitic point of no return" including things like 5g harm, Qanon, subliminal messages, new world order sort of stuff.

Allegorically, this is Hearts. They are so convinced that they were "voted out" as an act of spite that they cannot accept the reality,
that they were total pish all season and bottom of league and that ending things as they were was the only realistic, sensible and pragmatic solution.

Now they're beyond the point of reason, they want other clubs to fold, think Lawwell/ Petrie/ Dempster are controlling Scottish football to their detriment and are willing to distort reality to maintain the delusion.

Tbh, this model sort of explains the rangers since 2012 as well.

Anyway, my point is, there is no point trying to reason with them or even worry about what they're saying.

They are the Scottish football equivalent of a guy running around with a tin foil hat screaming "jet fuel can't melt steel" in people's faces.

Not for me either, but we’ve had a few on here over the years, some might still be here, they usually came in peace (London Hearts, JT Fi The Toon come to mind) and just to talk football. Don’t really see the harm in it as long as the username is highlighted in pink. ‘Resident Yams’ we called them or something. We had a Killie fan as well and I can remember a Hun a lot of years ago as well (Bloobell), although he reverted to type in the end IIRC. The fellah John Findlay even used his own proper name on here so wasn’t hiding.

Ha! They must suffer a lot of headaches with all the mental contortions they go through trying to justify whatever Hearts do while criticising everyone else.

[Prof. Shaggy]

A wee follow-up on the conspiracy theory discussion. In Chris Brookmyre's fairly recent "Fallen Angel" there's a character who challenges conspiracy theories.

Of him it is said, "As a psychologist, he understood how much easier it is to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled: that it is possible to sell an enduring lie because once people invest enough of themselves in it, they will continue to believe, in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence."

Of course, Brookmyre is a St Mirren fan...

[wallpaperman]

I remember when Calum Paterson signed for Cardiff City he negotiated that Hearts would receive a 15% sell on fee, which Jambos reckoned would be worth a fortune when he was sold on for £20 million.

He has joined Sheffield Wednesday for £500k which will net Hearts a whopping £75k. That’s cover Naismith’s wages for about 2 months.

I actually think he’s a decent player, had quite a few injuries.

The Scottish Govt stopped the League finishing, unless they are part of Doncaster's "cabal."

[The 90+2]

What about the current manager giving caps to half a dozen Kilmarnock players the first game in charge?

Playing Ian Black to get a reaction at Easter Road is the most Petty, Levein like thing there’s been.

1) Black was played because he was a ex hearts playing for huns in the bottom league.

2) any Killie player under Clarke is because he knows them. And on form.

3) Lewis had an amazing season and deserved it.

4) **** Levein, Ian Black and Hearts.

If their mental processes are the same as those in the ABC link, then, yes, the SG are part of the cabal.

People believe what they want to at times like this. And they go to convoluted lengths to justify themselves. I saw one on Facebook who claimed that COVID-19 is a satanic conspiracy. Their reasoning was that the 6 foot rule is 6 feet in front and 6 feet behind. That's 3 sixes, or 666, which is the number of the Beast in the Bible. There's very little hope for people who choose to be that deluded.

I'm sure this roaster can't help himself.

"Can’t help myself.

Aston Villa, a club who, I’m fairly sure, would have been demoted under a similar vote that demoted Hearts, Partick and Stranraer, had the EPL copied the easy, and corrupt, option taken by Doncaster and his cabal, not only escaped relegation on the playing field, but have thrived through sporting means.

Football, when it is allowed to reach sporting, rather than dubious, convenient and arbitrary, conclusions can still be a beautiful game.

Unfortunately, there are too many scunners in Scottish football and the Scottish sports media, to replicate such sporting fairness."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2020-10-05/conspiracy-theories-coronavirus-5g-conspiratorial-psychology/12722320See when Hearts flumps were celebrating "sporting success " with all those creditors money (Macraes Battalion trust, Big Hearts charity, Lady Haig poppy fund etc..)

They really couldn't help themselves. The club put itself into administration to avoid paying the debts they were so large. The fans must have been scunnered, in a sporting integrity sort of way obviously.

I think back in 2005 the oldest transcript was found of the new testament, in that they found in the book revelations which stated the number of the beast as 616, given it is the oldest version of this book of the bible I am sticking with 616 as the number of the beast.

Thought I'd have a look at their transfer window thread which was started on the 3rd July by Dazjambo

Here is the first post on the thread by Daz


Aaron Hickey will almost certainly join Manchester City in a permanent deal this window, with the option of loaning back for upto 18 months. The payment from Man City will be in installments and will include a 31% sell on clause to Hearts. Hearts will not pay any percent of his wage if he does return on loan. A left winger is also being looked at on loan from City.



Colin Doyle to leave soon.



Interest in John Souttar from Aston Villa, John McGinn has suggested that he is considered.



Michael Smith is in the thoughts of several english championship sides, aswell as Rangers.



Sam Nicholson desperate to come back to Hearts but has interest from Bristol City & Aberdeen.



Robbie has earmarked 6 current players he would like to move on, and is in discussion regarding a player from dunfermline and a loan signing from Arsenal.



3 ex players are currently out of contract and have offered to come back for little or no wages until January.

A wee follow-up on the conspiracy theory discussion. In Chris Brookmyre's fairly recent "Fallen Angel" there's a character who challenges conspiracy theories.

Of him it is said, "As a psychologist, he understood how much easier it is to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled: that it is possible to sell an enduring lie because once people invest enough of themselves in it, they will continue to believe, in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence."

Of course, Brookmyre is a St Mirren fan...

Ha, that stood out for me too when I read the book.

[mal]

They didn't sign anyone but MacDonald was shipped out, presumably on a free.

But they're okay, cos according to poster Beast Boy:


Without putting to fine a point on it, we should be absolutely pissing the Championship with the players we have, and two games away from winning the big cup, and all that that would mean for the team, the fans and the club... surely people realise that its a huge priority for us?

Look at the balance of the squad compared to last season. It's night and bloody day. It's not so much a team built to get out of the championship, its a team built to absolutely skoosh the Championship, which we will. We have more than enough about us to do that, but we also have players that can compete in the semi final and the final of the Scottish Cup. Anyone who doesn't think the cups have had a bearing on the signings we have made is not paying much attention imo. We had a team that would get us out of the Championship before Halliday signed. Neilson has assembled and retained a balanced team of players who could mostly be playing at top six Premiership sides.


I think we will beat Hibs in the semi, and I think we will have a fair shout v whomever we meet in the final.

Same guy reckons: "We have retained the better players from last season except for Clare.", conveniently forgetting that Hickey ever existed.

ETA: Undercover Hibby? Surely no Hearts fan is so lacking in self awareness as to use the handle "Beast Boy"?

[Since452]

Imagine watching your Premiership city rivals snap up some of the most promising Scottish young players while surpassing your win total from last season while you're in the Championship signing Andy Halliday, Craig Gordon and Elliot Frear. Oh how exciting to be a Jambo.

Hearts transfer window summary:

In: Gordon (GK), Stewart (GK), Popescu (CB), Halliday (DM), Frear (WM), Ginnelly (WM), Roberts (FW)
Out: Doyle (GK), Zlamal (GK), Dikamona (CB), Burns (LB), Hickey (LB), Bozanic (CM), Langer (CM), Clare (CM), Morrison (CM), McDonald (CM), Currie (FW), MacLean (FW), Washington (FW), Ikpeazu (FW)

In effect they've done much the same as us in that they've gotten rid of a fair few players and signed less on presumably higher wages, though they've notably lost a lot of their first team players (Zlamal, Hickey, Bozanic, Clare, Ikpeazu) whilst we haven't (though they did ultimately get them relegated). Their signings are also considerably less exciting than ours are, though it fits Neilson's strategy from 14-15 of focusing on wide play. I suspect Halliday and another (Cochrane/Lee/Haring if he's not ****ed) will sit in the middle and be tasked with getting the ball to Frear/Ginnelly/Walker, with Naismith and Boyce up front.

Premier sports is actually semi worthwhile now.

Scottish cup and league cup, Scottish clubs in European qualifiers and Pro 14 rugby.

Well worth the tenner a month in my opinion. Watch it far more than BT now. They also tend to be offering deals if you sign up, so keep eyes peeled.

Additionally, there is increasing reports of IPTV scammers cloaning credit cards and finally the risk of a conviction if you are caught, which will cost far more due to the hit your credit rating would take

Safe to say on this showing that Hearts won’t be skooshing anything anytime soon. The quality of their team is well below that of 2014/15. Commentator said ICT were without 8 key players and they lost another during the first half.

Hearts best player is the boy they’ve loaned from Preston, he’s a handful but his decision making has been questionable. Naismith not really in the game much at all and justifying his exclusion from the Scotland squad.
