Was only asking? Wasn't having a go, but since you dodged the couple of questions I put to you I'll leave you in peace with my mind now firmly made up :D
Texas bug me, but don't mind beautiful south to be honest!

Just wondered why you chose so long to post. We have cup final threads etc... But you posted on a hearts related thread wanting them to be ok. Surely you can see why folk are asking?
To answer the original question greiggy responded to, 'would you have accepted the 5-1 BEFORE the final if you knew they were going to go bust 1 year later'
Surely the answer has to be NO (as greiggy said). Surely we all went there wanting to beat the b**tards, that would have shut the lot of them up for decades. Greiggy has only added later that he values the derby and old firm matches, so what thats his opinion and fair play for saying it. I love that they're going through the wringer but i would pass that up to have won that final last year. Winning the cup tie this year was nowhere near enough, and i was at both games.
Ok. I don't want them to be ok. I didn't like that they beat us with a team paid 5x what our team was paid. I didn't appreciate that a referee turned a probable defeat into a rout. I find the whole 5-1 thing very tedious as at any level such a victory is tainted. But to be honest if the boot had been on the other feet .... I do think relegation is reasonable for them this season or next and if it turns out they've done a rangers then maybe 3rd division is where they belong. I just can't figure out why we'd want a league reduced to Celtic and the rest forever. Vengeance etc. shouldn't be part of this. What is good for HFC? And I know Wallace thought otherwise but most real football fans in Edinburgh at the time felt differently.
Nope, common misconception that. They maybe didn't come out in full support of WM but they sure as hell didn't try to stop him or take any real part in HoH. He was only stopped by Hibs fans standing up to him and not bending over and being shafted like the Jambos over the last seven or so years
This whole thing is turning into a witch hunt.
Q: Would I have taken the defeat last year knowing they would be bust now ?!
A: No. I knew they were going to go bust at some point. Us winning last year would have sped that process up a little.
Q: Do I care now, a year on ?!
A: No.
Lets leave it at that. :flag:
I voted for them to not exist anymore.
I really, really enjoyed last Sunday, against initial expectations. So, at the risk of being controversial, should we keep them?
You keep them if you want, I want them tae ****. Cheats need tae pay the penalty. The penalty as far as I'm concerned is the same one that the now potted heid ex owner (backed by the huge majority of fans) of that club once tried tae inflict on mine. I've been waiting over 20 years for these ***** tae get their comeuppance and I want tae see them get it. **** h****s
Ok you've got me. I'm outmatched and you obviously have a better recollection of it than I have. I must have imagined having a season ticket throughout and watching them since childhood. I'll shut up. Promise this time. Apologies for the celine dionesque promises of last ever appearance!!
They really think they`re a draw!
The TV companies, SKY particularly, couldn`t give a flying one about the Edinburgh derby. That`s why nearly all of them have been on ESPN over the last few 3 or 4 years.....SKY dont want them. If they did, THEY would show them and even though there has been no bigotfests this season, SKY have still only shown 1 Edinburgh derby live.
TV execs, sports editors and radio broadcasters are only interested in one Scottish game............and it doesn`t involve Hearts. The lack of Edinburgh derbys will not, IMO, affect a TV contract in the slightest.
Knock yourself out mate, and I can see you have been given a hard time before I arrived!
My view is that the difference between the dear leaders era and big wallies has been the agressive immunity the yam fans have blindly assumed post Romanov.
There hasn't been an ounce of shame before the imminent collapse or humility since in the face of what most normal fans could see was wrong.
During Whalearses efforts to basically do a deal that was all about property and profit (he was a rugger bugger tory in the thatcher era) there were a few, a very few yams who put football first and we acknowledged and appreciated them at that time. Since they swallowed the laundered money and the love in with the dear leader began I don't see them as a club where circumstance outside the fans control has left them vulnerable.
We had something to fight against and I remain as proud of what we did then as I am now. The yam have nowt to fight against as its something they courted through the likes of Foulkes and Mackay, became hypnotised by as the likes of Nade and big Trudi arrived on wages they couldn't afford and they now find themselves with no real means of doing something about it as fans by way of taking to the streets or any other public show of support.So just as it was under the dear leader they are hoping for some legal loophole or financial trickery to help them limp on.
Hopefully not in my lifetime.
Hearts are crooks (amongst other things) and should be given the electric chair.
It may not be good for other clubs in the short run, but we'd all adapt and get used to it.
We're already getting used to there being no Rangers polluting our league.
Are they died yet???
