Glad to hear this has been cancelled. It was a ***** idea.
If Fish still wants his wee bit of publicity, how about a fund raiser to make money for the bankers who aren't getting big enough bonuses this year. Another well deserving cause.

Just read the EEN article, that tool Foulkes can't help himself "Hibs will be in trouble themselves".
F*** off ya clown.
Fish has cancelled his gig though!

Think he would have learned after Sevcos attempt to spin this line.Quote:

Besides, there are thousands of others who think his music is rank rotten anyway, and he'd have to pay me before I'd go to his gig's.
Has anyone contacted Ronnie Corbett to see if he'll bring his chair to ER and tell some 'funnies' for free?
I think this was always going to be the outcome. As I said in my previous post on here, I think it does Fish credit that he was prepared to make this offer, but again, I still think it was misguided, given the specific reasons behind why Hearts find themselves in this situation. They are definitely not the victims in any way, but they will have left some behind them who were perhaps more deserving of a gesture like this: the staff they had to sack, the very long list of creditors they are openly looking to shaft to maintain their big team status etc. etc. Fish seems to have made saving the derbies his main reason, as far as I can tell from his statements anyway, but there are prices that are too high to pay for doing that, and this was one of them.
Great. I can start feeding my fish again. They will be pleased.Quote:

Things have changed in the Edinburgh Derby since the failed taleover bid by "he's deid", Hibs fans will never forget that and this is when the hatred started and it will never go away as long as the yams are here, FFS they tried to kill us off, and since that time we have seen the mad one take over them and they have lorded it over us for years with there cheating, **** paying bills we will sign players on silly wages instead.Quote:

If Fish wants to do a gig and help folk then the Sick Kids is a more deserving cause, but maybe he wouldn't get the same kind of publicity for that, wouldn't surprise me if he is about to bring out a new CD sometime soon and he new he would get some publicity from the stunt he has pulled here.
**** the H*****
I think you have missed my point there as well. However I said previously I understand and respect what he wanted to do but hope it raised nowt.:greengrinQuote:

Having read the whole thread, it strikes me that the concert was more than likely cancelled due to Fish growing a conscience.
There have been a few posts that have hit the nail on the head and very few that have actually been abusive.
But to blame Internet 'trolls', as the EEN puts it, is very easy.
It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but there were plenty of Hearts fans at Easter Road for Hands Off Hibs and many more who spoke out against it at the time.Quote:

Anyway I'll step aside and let the "real Hibs fans" continue with their ongoing and never changing hatred of all things maroon. As a blow in/convert or whatever else I am, I suppose I can never really feel the hatred that others do!( thought it does come close sometimes with their constant baiting) That's not be being smart by the way,just the reality of how it really is I suppose.
Let us just be happy that they are now getting F all to keep them alive.Quote:

It's been like a repeat of the 'outrage' at HWU for not throwing Hearts out of Riccarton. The first self-employed plumber or electrician that helps them out with some free repairs is going to be in a whole world of pain.Quote:

Surely only a self-employed Yam would get involved with such benevolence.Quote:

**** off ya pish stained jakey
GIRFUY roaster :jamboclow
Anybody on here (apart from Fish :devil: ) want tae admit their part in this? :dunno: :greengrinQuote:
A Foundation of Hearts spokesman said: “It is disappointing that this gig won’t take place, but there are a huge number of other events planned and supporters of both clubs have and will continue to back Hearts during this difficult time.”
I'd love to be a fly on the wa' when that drunken auld gobsh*** talks to the Lithuanian ambassador. Poor woman, suspect she tells her security detail to release the safety catches on their shooters when the senile auld soak is nearby.:panic:Quote:

Anyone shed any light on this?
