End of season awards? Well that will have taken all of two minutes to give the best ball boy and girl their trophies. :greengrinQuote:

It's a process which is proving worth its weight in gold so far. Glad to hear they're sticking with it.
Also loving this from the Record:
'Former Heart of Midlothian captain Steven Pressley would be willing to leave his role as Brentford's head of individual development to help his old club, who have dismissed head coach Neil Critchley, steer clear of relegation trouble.'
I can see them going to a good old traditional Hearts style for that game. Hoofball to that big huddy Elton. Critchley was too exotic for them.Quote:

Whose playing Critchley in it?Quote:

One or two jambos over the road are saying they hope the League Managers Association reports Budge for her remarks, given that 2 people have just lost their jobs and when asked about it (as the employer in question) she just said "yesterdays news"
It doesn't feel very respectful or classy, I'd have to agree
Wins for Ross County, Killie and Dundee on Saturday would make things a wee bit interesting.
Mental opinion that. Why would you take a guy who has proven that he lacks the professionalism to even do the basics, ie no be a fat ****Quote:

Penrice would maybe get on our bench, other than that we’re stronger than they tramps all over the park. Long may it continue.
My opinion is he would score a barrel load playing upfront on a 2 and not being a 10 or wide or whatever else hearts were trying to do with himQuote:

Yep. All she had to say was something diplomatic along the lines of "we thank Neil and his assistant for their efforts and we're now moving on".Quote:

Conference Centre isn't a cheap booking. Why aren't they using the bigliest, most bigley impressive facilities at the most bigliest tin stand in Scottish football for their "awards"?

I’d love him to get it as he’d be absolute disaster
Is there anyone more boring than him to listen to? If you close your eyes and listen to him and Shelley Kerr you can’t tell who is whoQuote:

It was a daft, panicky comment from a flustered woman. Hardly merits some sort of sanction.Quote:
