Fair enough but Dunfermline aren't a big team either....:hmmm:Quote:

Even so it'll be a double whammy, the tribulations of both UBIG and UKIO will hit Hearts heavily and either aspect on their own would be enough to sink them - for those not paying attention this will appear as though it has "come out the blue". In fact it'll be 'Straight Outta Kaunas'.
The only other way they will be hit sooner, and subsequently hit by the football authorities this season, is if Frodo and Samwise Gamgee can throw the "one" ring into the....(oops, sorry wrong epic), is if Fedotas and/or Roman Romanov (still listed as Chairman) are dragged into the criminal proceedings currently facing His Vladness. My popcorn ran out ages ago watching this tale, but the denouement when it comes will bring fireworks, FACT etc etc ad-in.
It is public knowledge that Dunfermline have been in financial trouble for well over a year now (they failed to pay wages at the beginning of 2012) and possibly, privately, for much longer.Quote:

It didn't really, though.Quote:

In the Yams share prospectus it said that UBIG would continue with the debt as status quo but would be reviewed in July.
Wouldn't rely too much on that assertion now, given developments in recent months :greengrinQuote:

Not heard from Fatty "Lord" Foulkes for a while now. Is he on some extended foreign why-pish-your-breeks-in-wintry-Scotland-when-you-could-be-doing-it-here-in-sunnier-climes junket?Quote:

:confused:what? Lord Foulkes? Likes a freebie you imply? surely not. Is this the same Lord Foulkes who helped ease Vlad and the current regime in and was a rabid supporter of the dear leader?Quote:

The genial Blair sycophant George Foulkes - Baron Foulkes of Cumnock since Tony elected him a life peer and now one of the henchmen trying to treat Labour's Scottish schizophrenia - was a most promising shadow cabinet minister until he came to suffer "a nasty fall on the slopes of Glenfiddich in July 1993".
At a party held by the Scotch Whisky Association, the defence spokesman at the time, also a magistrate, drank adequately from the fountain of the water of life. One witness described Foulkes's subsequent behaviour as "like Zebedee on acid". The MP trundled back to the Commons for a crunch vote.
Unfortunately, the pavements of Westminster dipped and rose like the deck of a clipper on a choppy sea, tossing him into the arms of pedestrians. An attempt to dance with a 70-year-old lady resulted in them both hugging the asphalt. Foulkes biffed one persistently helpful constable on the chin.
He was arrested and invited to spend the night enjoying Her Majesty's hospitality. He pleaded guilty to assault and being drunk and disorderly, and was fined £1,050. He vowed not to drink whisky again.
So I am delighted to hear of an invitation doing the rounds. In his capacity as president of the Caribbean-Britain Business Council, Foulkes is hosting a party at the House of Lords on 13 March: a "rum punch reception". A Caribbean holiday for two shall be raffled and guests hope Foulkes will lead the calypso. (He is, of course, bringing the punch.) Boing!

But I really couldn't tell you who was the biggest sot between Fatty and WC, both were clowns in their own right.
What is it with this number "7" and the word "result" that keep reminding me of them? I know I'm getting a wee bit older, and my memory is not as great as it once was! I was thinking that maybe Hearts had a sponsorship deal that was worth 7 figures or was it with product that was made by Coca Cola that was on their shirts? Can some please help me out!!!Quote:

I see the Heart of Midlothian 2005 Company now has a dissolved note against its name in the Companies House web list.
Good to know they are not ignoring the Yams failures to comply with their rules.
Although this will have no real affect on the football club Company, did HOMFC 2005 not have a small percentage of the PLC's shares ( about 3% I think ).
If they have not been transferred, Her Majesty will now be the proud owner of part of Yam F C. :greengrin.
Will she be invited to join SOH or whatever the maroon cardigan brigade are calling themselves this week.
If Her Maj is now part of Hearts and they owe all that money to HMRC, doesn't that mean they owe it to themselves? :hmmm:Quote:

Was it CH that instigated the striking-off process, or was it housekeeping on the part of the company itself?Quote:
