Should just be renamed Delusional FC

Ignoring for a moment the fact that there's actually a process a new club has to go through to get in at the bottom of the English league pyramid, why would the English FA send someone from Hull and Millwall to meet the famous?
Neither of these clubs seem to have anyone on the Executive, or the members council. Maybe they were just looking for tips on how to nearly build a single tier stand or avoid relegation.
Got to be someone under cover winding them up?

Merge with Hull and they could be the biggest team in Hull, doubt the merged team will be called Heart of Midlothian though!
Can't see Millwall wanting the stigma of being associated with Hearts, they've got their good name to think of [emoji16]

That is brilliant! I started thinking it was a spoof but realised as the outrage jet plane started to gain height and reach the fever pitch of cruising altitude that it was real, then I really thought it was hilarious!
Well done Anne, keep 'em coming!
Edit: Just saw that I am not the only one to think it a spoof. Brog too.

The statement from Federation of Hearts is even better. On statement bingo they throw in 'beggars belief' to trump the 'for avoidance of doubt' in the official statement. Has anyone ever used those phrases in a normal conversation?
Apologies if already discussed but what is the 'Only Hearts' tweet mentioned at the end of this story meant to mean?

That only Hearts train at the Oriam? Or that only Hearts get stopped from doing so?
Whatever it means, it must be rather embarrassing for them to have it so well publicised that their supposed 'training academy' is actually just a communal facility that can be booked by anyone. Personally I'm not surprised Heriot-Watt are welcoming the likes of Hull. At least they'll pay for their time there, unlike the funds they'll never recoup from when the yams stiffed them by going into administration.
Alloa! :faf:
I'm going to nip down to my local gym that I pay to use and take a photo of it from outside with the caption "only since452". Seems to be all the rage.
Obviously Hearts would envisage the grateful population of any English Town or city they decided to merge with to accept that the likes of, say Hull City fans, would appreciate their teams name will be changed to heart of midlothian and they'd be expected to travel to Edinburgh.
It's a small price to pay for such a bigly famous name.

Why don't they just train at Tynecastle if they think it's so imperative that they train two months before their season starts?
Leslie Deans says Hearts should play in England and he is "aghast" in todays Scotsman.
Ah, OK thanks. I had thought the ruling just applied to communal facilities like the Oriam.
So it's no big deal really? The 24th is a perfectly reasonable start date for clubs who don't start their season until October and I don't imagine any other lower league club was planning on training before then anyway.
Don't think they have been. Only Hearts were training.
Whilst I can see how Hull being allowed to train and Hearts not, can be viewed as being unfair.
It is worth remembering how funny it is 😀
I love how different organisations are taking turns trolling them. They remind me of that person you would always wind up because you knew you'd get a reaction everytime.
I don't what their problem is. They were given special dispensation to train early because of their court case/arbitration. Now they are being brought into line with the rest of the championship. They had and still have an unfair advantage over the other 9 teams. Whole thing covered up with Budge les and spin.
I see Deans is pushing the 'play in England' line. There are rules against that sort of thing.
Who do they think they are? Oh, yes, I forgot, rules don't apply to them and it's unfair to expect them to comply.
It used to be funny, now it's just pathetic.
I used to work with a guy like that, but the difference was he had a sense of humour so the wind-ups were taken in good part. Po-faced Budge, on the other hand, can't see past the end of her nose and feels compelled to batter out a dissertation-length statement in response to even the merest perceived slight.
Dean's must be a closet Hibbie. Nobody could say these things with a straight face.
Just listened to yesterday's Superscoreboard and Darryl Broadfoot was on and said Hearts players are scheduled to have a holiday from 22nd Aug until 30th Aug and suggested they could just bring the holiday forward therefore only miss out on 1 day of training. He pointed out that it's not as if the players would be booked to fly abroad for the holiday.
Sounds like a sensible solution however Budge is either not bright enough to think of it or didn't want to pass up an opportunity to put out yet another whinging statement.
Leslie, Leslie, Leslie. Oh dearie me. Think he needs help finding the plot. Lost it big time.
Hearts, as usual, think the world and their uncle are against them. However they need to start being realistic, I know, I know:rolleyes:
Professor Jason Leitch made it very clear that football is a non essential industry. ‘Elite’ football has been given special dispensation for training and playing games that allow close contact. This sat alongside stringent testing and protocols to be followed. Most other non essential industries face widespread restrictions.
Hearts do not have a game of football until October, there is simply no justification for their unnecessary training and unnecessary risk of infection in what is a non essential business. Again, as usual, they are aggrieved but simply TOUGH. Stop whinging and get ****ing on with it like millions of people throughout the country.
The bellend's favourite bellend.
As any good lawyer would know, a quick read of the FA rules might be an idea before becoming aghast and offering up impressive sounding solutions.
Is aghast better or worse than other Duncans who seem to be incensed and / or incredulous?

Leslie Deans is brilliant. An absolute hoot.
Tom English and Ewan Murray are demanding answers.
Thing is, Hearts are having one of their tantrums again and we all know that it’s pointless trying to talk to them when they are in this state. Just let them wail until they’ve calmed down a bit.
In comfort blanket news, Gary McKay is on hand to remind them they are the Bigliest. Biggest in the Championship, but still:

Seems to be suggestions that Jason Cummings in talks with them. Probably not a surprise as he has no job and Hearts have no strikers who seem to be able to score.
Think he could do a great job for them, and while it makes me a bit queasy thinking of him playing for them, it’s a short career and you could hardly blame him.
The problem with them demanding answers is that when they don’t like the answer they just pretend they haven’t had the answer and keep asking the same questions over and over.
It’s very clear why it’s happened, and as much as they don’t like it, there’sa good logic to it.
Deans thinks that the Celtic Aberdeen game should have been declared as 3-0 defeats to each as punishment.
Mental.
Why do the Scotsman keep giving column inches to Deans? He is an absolute nobody, even the more normal hearts fans think he’s a tube.
Uncomfortable truth for our pink chums.
All of this is happening because they were bottom of the league. That's on them, absolutely their fault.
It really is that simple. No conspiracy, not unfair, they were just really really *****.
It would actually work. Both clubs get zero points from the game and a negative three goal difference. A points deduction would be more painful though, and in any case I agree with Ozy that the players should get a lengthy suspension rather than punishing the clubs direct and they should not be available for the re-scheduled matches.
Why do people keep mentioning the impact it will have on Naismith playing for Scotland next month? He shouldnt be near the squad anyway. The guy is finished and will probably get injured first time he sprints. God help the national team if they are going to select naismith.
Mikey Stewart feeling the burn, saying Hearts aren't a championship club.
So Hearts had notified the SFA they were taking 8 days off, whilst other Championship clubs had intimated they were starting training on Monday, hence the blanket ban on training.........Hearts being very disingenuous again then :cb surprise surprise.
Leslie Deans calling the Arbitration Hearing 'secretive' and forgetting Hearts and Partick denied the decision being published in open domain :cb
Don't let facts get in the way of the truth Jambos :aok:
Oh and Leslie, enjoy the petition to get yer team into the National League North :greengrin
No, think it through. If it were considered appropriate to dock points you wouldn't do it this way, there's just so much wrong with it. How would you play a game knowing the result in advance? What would be the point? If there were a loser then they would effectively not lose further points from the deduction, so get no punishment beyond a potential change to their goal difference. In fact, if Aberdeen were to lose 4-0 then they would benefit from the decision. If it were decided to scrap the fixture altogether then there's a benefit to the teams from not having to play a backlog game, risking injuries, bookings etc. It's nonsense.
Why do people believe their training facilities are owned by hearts 😂?
It's like being declared self sufficient just before putting themselves into administration.
They're in trance like state which means reality doesn't enter into it. Budge remains the only show in their wee town. Long may it continue.

I haven't seen any mention of this so maybe it's just me reading too much into it, but ... on last night's Sportscene, Jonathan Sutherland mentioned that O'Donnell had been a guest on the midweek programme and was now lining up for a new club. He said to Naismith - in what I thought was a pointed fashion - that it was a good show to go on if you wanted a move. Don't get me wrong, I'd far rather Naismith saw out his contract and continued to divert all the maroon pounds into his own coffers, but I wondered if this was an indication that there are unhappy bunnies currently grazing on the unused Tynecastle turf. Did anyone else pick up on this?
Boyce isn’t happy at the club and looking for a move to a premier club or back down south.
Maybe I misunderstood the op - I assumed he/she was thinking that both sides couldn't lose the same game. The point I was making was that the game would not be played and neither side would have the opportunity to gain points from it but would sustain a three goal deficit. I wasn't suggesting it was a good idea, just that it wasn't impossible. My opinion is that the players should be punished with a hefty suspension as the clubs don't appear to have done much wrong.
Wonder how they’ll find a way to remind the world that they exist now that all this appeals nonsense has ran its predictable course? It’s a long time till October, and nobody is really even that bothered about the championship.
Because that's what they tell people. Just like when they told people they'd built a new stadium when it was actually just 1 stand they'd built and like when they tell people it is a 20k+ seater stadium. 😯
Due to this situation with Hull using the Oriam, a lot of people who were under the impression they owned their own top class training facilities will now know that they don't.
Any update on the Arbitration bill i thought it was due to be announced last week?
🆕 The club is delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew McKinlay as Chief Executive.
