Hearts are crass...

[Hakim Sar]

... cringeqorthy and full of their own very weird middle class Edinburgh self importance.

That statement just had to mention Jack Ross didn't it?

I don't think another club in the world has such weird rivals?

Anyone else think Hearts are plain weird?

[Weegreenman]

They are a dull wee club from the dullest part of the toon.

[Pretty Boy]

They are like that ex that claims to hate you but still watches everything you do on social media and passes comment about what you are doing with your life.

Obsessive oddballs as a club and as people.

I don't think I would. Can only speak for myself of course. My love for hibs is not quantified by my "hate" for hearts. I like how our club focus on us and our own actions and activities without resorting to petty one-upmanship.

And it IS petty what they have included in their statement tonight. Symptomatic of their obsession with status and importance.

[Aldo]

Thing is in all this... we wouldn’t have put a statement like that out. It’s should have been all about the incoming manager with no mention of anyone else.

Further to this there is one almighty lie in it all.... their No1 target.... REALLY.

Having been relegated prior to his arrival, Daniel immediately turned round their fortunes, leading the Oakwell outfit to a second-placed finish ahead of Jack Ross’ Sunderland, and securing promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking. He left them in October of this year.

I think a 16 year old writes their statements!!

[weecounty hibby]

1st choice my arse. Adams and Ross. Also interviews McCall and McCann before him and let's not forget Robinson at Motherwell. He is a panic 4th/5th choice and I hope he rinses them for hundreds of thousands before he gets sacked by continuing his form of this season. Total Muppets

For God’s sake, those muppets are championing a team of losers, in danger of being relegated, have had to reluctantly and subserviently bow to the demands of an unknown Messiah and his greedy former club. But still they try to belittle Hibs, a team towering way above them in the League. Their timing is sad and embarrassing. :greengrin

A club that needs to reassure itself by constantly droning on about how much better, bigger, richer it is than another club has wee man syndrome and a unhealthy level of Obsession.

Dr Queen Budge can do and say what she wants to the trumpets and they lap it up.
Around £17 million pounds for a single tier stand that 1st of all they forgot to order the seats for and then the architect forgot there was a police box in the way
A press box that everyone gets soaked when it rains and directors exit that they had / used to have to share with the trumpets to go for their prawn sandwiches.
Thats what really big and really famous clubs do. Contracts to her brother worth £6 million with more to come which at least went out to proper tender and the board decided there was no conflict of interest anyway Accounts that show in profit only after benefactors contribution. Relieving her right hand man of his duties but asking him to show the new prespective manager round the world famous stadium and the rented training facillites. Spending a fortune on the pitch thats now looks like a ploughed field but they won a trophy for having a concert on it which no doubt will be added to their list of honours in the same way they did after winning the tennents sixes in 1985. They had hang Anne Budge banners but now they have announced the recuirtment of there 3rd choice manager who doesn't really want to be here on a massive 2 1/2 contract just after after another defeat where they were lucky to get nil , they mention
Jack Ross in the official statement and everything is now Well Done Anne Budge
no doubt she could announce they are remploying Dr Football as sporting director and they would lap it up.

Absolutely 100% hearts having a wee go at Hibs to appease the ogres in a moment of crisis. 100% typical of hearts and one of the many reasons why I love to hate our smelly classless neighbours. Having our main rivalry with Livingston just wouldn't be the same. :)

I never get bored of laughing at Hearts. Their unique mixture of incompetence and self-importance should not go to waste.

At a fundamental level though I really don’t care all that much about them.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Truly weird club.

Cant think of another club that would release a statement like that when they’re joint bottom of the table, just as I can’t think of another club whose supporters react to every derby defeat by bringing up pointless statistics about derbies played decades ago.

they think they’re the big team in Edinburgh, yet every single thing about their behaviour suggests chronic insecurity and issues with self-esteem. And as they’re well on their way to a third consecutive season looking up at the “wee team” in the table it’s only going to get worse.

[oldbutdim]

Spot on.

I look forward to their statements, which are guaranteed to include a reference to Hibs in them. It's like watching a Hitchcock movie, knowing he will appear at some point although having nothing to do with the story.

The new manager will tell all on Monday about what a 'big club' he's joined, how he will be restoring natural order, and er............ how big they are.

Just as the The Rangers signings have to mention 'history' so do newly hatched Sparryheids have to mention 'big club'.

Jesus,they can't be that desperate that potter is in charge of pr feeding the masses Jambo mince. Even the Hertz fans take the pee out of his natural order. Best bit on kick back was them calling our new boss jack dross and the poster getting it tight as the third one went in on Saturday. They never ever learn when to boast and when to keep quiet.

My feelings entirely. If they finished above us and we qualified for Europe I wouldn't cry into my cornflakes. It's the money they have flushed down the toilet that is truly staggering. If we had spent that money I would,at a minimum,expect Europe every season.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Spot on.

I look forward to their statements, which are guaranteed to include a reference to Hibs in them. It's like watching a Hitchcock movie, knowing he will appear at some point although having nothing to do with the story.

The new manager will tell all on Monday about what a 'big club' he's joined, how he will be restoring natural order, and er............ how big they are.

Just as the The Rangers signings have to mention 'history' so do newly hatched Sparryheids have to mention 'big club'.

I think it's brilliant!

The Hibs cameo in their ramblings as their obsession rises to the surface :greengrin

I heard a jambo saying that the German will put a stop to the poppy appeal, and AB will ban anyone who mentions the war they one, it appears they feel the identity and soul of the club is being ripped out of it by AB and they want a return to how it was in the 70s time has passed them by, my advice to then is cheer up you still have that 70s through back Austin McPhee to remind you that your a long way from the 21cenury

[JimBHibees]

Don’t talk *****. It’s a pathetic thing to say and I would be embarrassed if our club said anything like this.

Even the folk on Sportscene were laughing at it as well as the appalling grammar. No doubt rushed it out to distract from another defeat.

[FilipinoHibs]

Like their mess up of the stand and all those statements, the long drawn out saga on the new manager and related statements, they are now clearly the laughing stock of Scottish football.

"Jack Ross continued his dominance over Daniel Stendel with a 3-0 win on a blustery boxing day today at Tynecastle". Easy comeback imminent.

I heart a jambo saying that the German will put a stop to the poppy appeal, and AB will ban anyone who mentions the war they one, it appears they feel the identity and soul of the club is being ripped out of it by AB and they want a return to how it was in the 70s time has passed them by, my advice to then is cheer up you still have that 70s through back Austin McPhee to remind you that you long way from the 21cenury

I think that Jambo was on drugs.

I think that Jambo was on drugs.

Or if he wasn’t then he should be.

they want a return to the 70s? A decade when they were utterly dominated by Hibs in the derby?

I hope they get it.

[CraigHibee]

Cheap manky team having a cheap shot, its about all they have to "celebrate"

[WeeRussell]

Although no doubt a good few of them will lap it up, I'll wager far more Hearts fans are embarrassed by it than Hibs fans are offended. In fact a few of them will be pretty p1ssed off given the current state of affairs over there. An official club statement going on like that :faf: The line about Jack Ross isn't relevant, nor clever or humorous.

I found the "first choice" line the funniest though.

To think I thought we were in as bad a place as them a couple of months ago. The really do appear to be as desperate and hurt as ever.

I’m bored with Stendelgate and was adopting the attitude of, sideshow’s over so. let’s just get on with it, now they've got their man, albeit second choice .......... I’m sure they’re relieved and happy. However, when I read drivel like this, I quickly change my mind:

Welcome stendel-lets get it right up the hibs and west coast media who are seething with this appointment.


Are we really? :rolleyes:

[Deansy]

A club that needs to reassure itself by constantly droning on about how much better, bigger, richer it is than another club has wee man syndrome and a unhealthy level of Obsession. They're already preparing the ground for the new manager who's career at Ya Ya Land will be shaped solely on how de does against the Mighty Hibees :greengrin

Exactly - these clowns have a massive inferiority-complex when it comes to us !. Years of cheating and now 'Mystery benefactors' and STILL they know that - deep down - on every level - sportingly & morally - they will never compare to us !. When we win - NO-ONE - can point to 'other factors' that aided that win and they hate that as they know that doesn't apply to them

Cant imagine so and as for the west coast media they will still be getting over their hangover from yesterday to notice.

[The_Sauz]

Hearts are is exciting as the strip they had on against Motherwell.....:faf:
No "Save the Children" on the front either, I guess all Big teams do that!

Crass? I thought they were The Exploited on account of Wattie

Looked like they were just wearing a plain black tee shirt, very odd.

They said the same about Cathro and then Potter or when Romanov wasn’t paying wages. At least they’re consistent if nothing else.

[flash]

Hearts are crass and their pies are rubbery as they say in Beijing.

I’m absolutely seething with cringe... at sharing a city with these ugly buffoons.

The fact that both clubs’ names start with H makes it worse... the casual observer sometimes mixes us up, and associates Hibs with their embarrassing foolishness.

We deserve some kind of compensation or goodwill payment from the SPFL imo. Honestly.

The new Hertz gaffer looks an alcoholic. WTF??

For some reason I believe their Save the Children thing is only for their hone shirt.

Would explain the black t shirts in their kit. Do they owe us a living???????

Course they ******* do!

Or if they don't owe us a living they certainly owe 29 million quid..... :na na:
