I've joined the main team in Edinburgh

[theonlywayisup]

Stephen Humphrys says 'I've joined the main team in Edinburgh. Hearts' facilities are English Premier League level'

Who? Humphrys is a 24-year-old English striker out of favour at Wigan Athletic.

“This training ground is like English Premier League standard. It's probably better than a lot of English Premier League clubs' training grounds. Tottenham and Man United have spent hundreds of millions but I've been to St George's Park and I'd say this is up at that level. Compared to Rochdale and Shrewsbury, for example, it’s on a completely different level."

I smell horse dung! :******:

“To play in Europe for any team is massive but to play for such a big team – for me it's the main team in Edinburgh". They can't help peddling this rubbish, Natural Order and all that.

“I didn’t score many goals last season [seven in 49 appearances]. The season before when I was at Rochdale I managed to score 12 goals but I was injured for half the season, so I felt like I was in a really good goalscoring space.” He's obviously used to playing in the top leagues.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I didn’t score many goals last season.

Also, I didn’t score many the season before that either but I’ve got my excuses ready for that one.

[Lancs Harp]

Hes only signed for the view of the castle.

[cabbageandribs1875]

should someone on twitter/whatever maybe inform him about this wonderful training centre heartz get the use of ? :confused:

[Bostonhibby]

Hes only signed for the view of the castle.Maybe they haven't got any badminton courts in Wigan? If not you can understand him being in awe of the facilities that the thieves rent.

[WeeRussell]

Have hearts signed David Brent?

And does he realise that Rochdale and Shrewsbury aren’t premier league teams?

His quotes read like some of the posts on here.

[Bridge hibs]

He obviously done a tour of Oriam wnen the pot noodle munching Quiddich Students were munching away at break time.

Wonder if he done a tour of the biggliest stadium (under 20k) the steps to nowhere, the grand view of a school, the 5 aside pitch & the absolutley ****ing horrific pink seats in their theatre of noise

Although I heard when he approached the main stand (glass wall) he said **** me, this is a big Tesco !

[007]

Standard fare. They tell all potential signings the Oriam is theirs and when they sign they've to have a sly dig at us. Mind when Stendel got his lines confused and admitted he hadn't heard of Hearts before.

This guy's not too bright if he didn't notice all the members of the public milling about the Oriam. Or maybe it's normal for the England team to have make way at St George's for the local ladies hockey team. 😂

[Eyrie]

Usual waffle from the Hearts PR team in a desperate bid to big themselves up. And let's face it, no-one else can or will do it.

Humphrys hadn't even heard of Hearts until his agent told him they were interested.

What a bunch of fandan's they are. It's so Hertz and to be honest, they don't how to be a big team really. When the going got tough last week there fans were mute. Suddenly a new signing and out comes their wombles and they talk about their size again. The wee lambs need a a wee bit reassurance, aww bless.

[007]

It's indoctrination. As soon as they sign, Budge straps them into a chair with cable ties and forces them to listen the Hearts song on a loop and watch YouTube clips of Hearts winning WW1.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I recall not that long ago Hibs actually making a joke about how every new signing has to say nice things about the training facilities and after getting the piss taken for the multi pen McGeady used to sign making sure Chris Cadden used it to sign his extension.

Said it before but it's a real difference between us and them, we can have a wee laugh at our own expense now and again, whereas they are absolutely humourless and bland ..... A sign of that is getting every new player to wax lyrical about facilities they don't own and say, not what a big club they are, but how they are the biggest club in Edinburgh ...... its always about us :thumbsup:

The big question is .......... why the hell don't Hertz play in beige? :faf:

[California-Hibs]

He clearly hasn't found out yet about their last result and that that's the 60th year in a row of being put out of the League Cup, a Cup that we've proceeded to win 3 times since then, and also that they haven't won Silverware since 2012, of which we've won a Scottish Cup since then. Impressed with their facilities? Wait till you visit Easter Road then Stephen. The largest footballing ground in Edinburgh.

Harry McKirdy just needs to two foot this **** really. Pish spouted like that won't be tolerated. 👊🤦*♂️

[One Day Soon]

'I've joined the main team in Edinburgh.' A quote straight from Heart of Midlothian's utterly obsessed with Hibernian FC central casting.

No outsider coming into this environment would come out with pi5h like that unprompted. It really says something about Hearts that their PR machine decides to put these words into his mouth rather than anything else. Their fetish about us is a little unhinged.

It's just weak.

[Tambo]

Never heard of this numpty before, Nouble will have their defence for toast and then they will fall Thursday but Gordon will save them a point vs St Mirren.

The training ground doesn't belong to Hearts. They are mere tenants.

It is still an excellent facility which incredibly they have landed with. Incredible given their years of nonpayment

It’s pretty minor that point when they have access to it as long as they need it….think they are planning to build their own sometime relatively soon too….

Don’t really follow Hearts but do they not still rent Riccarton and use public parks and facilities ? 😀

Don’t remember them building a TC with all their pots of cash

[Stairway 2 7]

They probably make it look good by doing a well timed tour, but its mainly a uni facility that they get slots for. Their training area can be booked by Heriot Watts quidich team literally. The main hall is used by hearts hibs youth, Cowdenbeath, edin city, Heriot Watts multiple teams and more.

They get a slot in the uni cafe for lunch. Same with the main gym. They get exclusive use of 1 outside pitch and 1 changing room and about 4 office's. Everything else is on a rota. Hence they are looking at trying to fundraise to move somewhere

[Rumble de Thump]

Hearts are brilliant. I love everything about them. I wish we were as amazing as them.

Maybe they'll just nick charity tins?... again

That's how they fundraise.

Given their history, I'm surprised they've not just built it then bumped the bill.

I was doing my ‘entry level’ coaching badges there probably 5 years ago, and we took the lift past the ‘hearts area’, it’s basically just a corridor, with Hearts FC printed on a piece of paper and stuck on the door with blutack. Every other facility they share with the students and divvies like me and 30 other ransoms doing badges so they can teach kids football :greengrin Humphrys will be aware of this situation straightaway like all the players are, it’s just pre scripted pish.

Realise it's not on the same scale as renting a gym hall once the schools have finished with it and having your lunch box in the public canteen at the Oriam, but ever little helps.

We’re lucky to share a city with one of the giants of the game. When fans the world over hear the name “Heart of Midlothian” they immediately think of state of the art training facilities, the legendary 19,000 capacity Tynecastle Stadium and its famous atmosphere that strikes fear into all who visit to play there with the wall of noise with songs about fans vomiting.

Less perhaps about trophies and titles, but can’t have it all.

Let this nonentity Stephen Humphrys try to get a rise out of us in his pathetic way...we just signed Harry McKirdy and he is going to wind those *******s up like a swiss watch spring. He will be hated by those Rover driving tossers and he will LOVE noising them up at every opportunity !

[Hibernia&Alba]

Why does every one of them instantly start bragging about what a massive club Hearts are, the moment they arrive? Methinks they doth protest too much. This idiot has gone full Yam lunatic from the instant he pulled on the stinking maroon jersey: our facilities are like Man United's and Tottenham's.....WHAT??? :lolyam:

He should have also mentioned 400,000 supporters and then checked himself in for a psychiatric evaluation.

They are mental. They are small fry, desperate to be relevant. It's such pitiful patter they employ, in an attempt to appear a big club.

That's what Man United and Spurs do :lolyam:

[Hibees1973]

Obviously been fed a pre-written script from one of their small minded PR guys. He wouldn't have had a clue about the Yams before joining them.

Can't remember this being peddled out when Levein/Stendal was in charge of them a couple of years back. A bit of humility wouldn't go amiss at Tiny but with 'money spinner' Neilson in charge this is the type of stuff coming out from them just now.

Embarrassing

[Bostonhibby]

I've got access to a 24 hours Tesco whenever I need it, same sort of setup Hearts have at Oriam.Are you paying tesco any rent?, or did you come to an understanding where you forget to pay it and they forget to collect it until one day it pops up on their very own creditors list like hearts did with the previous version of the Oriam arrangement.

Curious move from Zander Clark to join Hearts. He won't see much first team football, unless he's heard Gordon is heading for retirement. Or maybe he's just getting better wages there than at some of the teams who might have wanted a first team regular.

Isn't there some kind of syndrome that causes guys that are... how to put this delicately... 'not particularly well endowed' to drive round in massive cars?

In their own minds, the public image they give of having a massive vehicle somehow compensates for other things not being quite so massive.


I've always suspected that Hearts' obsession with how big a club they are, especially compared to Hibs, is based on something similar.

I posted on here a week or two ago that he had been offered a contract by Hearts, the person who told me claims that Zander has been told he will take the no.1 spot once Gordon retires. That might well be next season, I can't see him sitting on the bench for a couple of years.

Yeah, I think it’s probably similar motivation to that which saw Cam Smith join Liv golf to spend more time in Australia rather than the £140m.

They’ll have offered him the most cash, it’s certainly not about growing up wanting to be Craig Gordon’s understudy or being able to understand the secret behind the stairs to nowhere.
