I tell you, my mate at work sometimes comes out with some p15h but this one today took the flaming biscuit.
I didn't want them to go under, but bugger it, let them go right to the wall. Sick of the lies, the supporters saying they are still the biggest club in Edinburgh. He even then went on to say Hibs fans are the same as Celtic, saying they will be the biggest in Edinburgh, but "The Rangers" are the biggest in Glasgow and Scotland they have won trophy upon trophy. Of course when I reminded him that "The Rangers have only won one trophy in their history it did shut him up.
Nah, enough is enough now. Bryan whenever you are ready I am, turn the lights off on your way out mate. Thanks!
Are they not left over barriers from last seasons league cup victory parade?! :dunno:Quote:

Dear Billy G,
This is a plea to save the institution that is Heart of Midlothian football club. Due to gross financial irresponsibility, we need somewhere between £30 and £50 million pounds to cover our costs and pay back our creditors. The club is in administration, and is for sale. If you were to spare this amount we would be eternally grateful – Microsoft rules forever! As we are fundamentally honest people, we would like to pay back all of the money that we owe rather than use the CVA route which unduly punishes thousands of innocent people, mainly Lithuanians. Our plan to repay your investment is as follows.
From now on we will be a model of financial frugality, and will cover all costs before considering our player wages budget. We have a 5 point plan (and 1 optional point).
1. 20% of all turnover will be used to service the debt to yourself. This amounts to between £1.5 and £2 million per year. We would ask that interest accrued matches inflation, with a 0.51% additional (for your profit).
2. Operational costs will be met, and non football staff will be paid according to their contracts – on time, every time (that’s a promise btw). With the funds left over, football staff from management, coaching and playing staff, will be paid a percentage. With about 40 staff of this type expected, this amounts to about 2.51% each (or 2.49% for those with any Hibs connections). With a predicted £2500000 available, this amounts to £62750 per annum – a respectable yearly wage. Players may have to wait until the full accounts have been established before receiving full payment, but this has become standard practice here.
3. With the financial plan in place, we would like to impose a partial transfer ban on ourselves. Instead, should we sell any players for profit, the money gained will go into a separate account. 51% of this would go to paying back the balance on our loan to yourself (interest free as a reward). 43.9% of this fund would be available for transfer fees, with the remaining 5.1% of this going to charity. (Charity is a form of helping others less fortunate than yourself).
4. In an effort to atone for prior acts of arrogance, delusion, and callousness, we will organise a half time draw at all home games. One season ticket holder will be drawn randomly. This season ticket holder will either serve 51 hours of community service OR wear for 51 days a T-shirt saying ‘sorry for being a Yam plum’.
5. We couldn’t think of another point, but we need 5 you see, so we will sponsor Microsoft on our Jerseys – for free of course!
1. Optional point – We will all undertake a lifelong mission to spread the concept of living in your means, and extolling the virtues of integrity (our scholars are working on these concepts, and will prepare a report soon).
Sincerely,
HUMPEM
(Humble Pie Eaters of Midlothian)

For the first time I ever I went on to the Kickback site expecting to see hundreds of threads about survival, anger at Mad Vlad etc etc. However all I saw was lots of nonsense about dishing us, stupid comments about the now void cup final and just 8 pages (perhaps 160 posts) on how season ticket sales are going (their very survival). Our site has 754 pages on the Hearts situation, 22596 posts and 2.9 million views!!! I simply cannot understand the lack of reaction/ complacency in Gorgie. I know it has been mentioned elsewhere but Hands off Hibs mobilised thousands and was genuinely passionate. They seem passive about the whole situation. While I would be astonished if they do not sell 3000 tickets given the gravity of their position and it is frankly pathetic if they fail to shift that number the news seems very conflicting. Near silence on Kickback and anecdotal evidence from people who have posed saying their ticket office has a dribble of interest. It really will be fascinating to see how many they shift. Am I missing something?
you must have missed the bric a brac for auction threads :agree: all manner of crap up for grabs, from gary lockes latex gimp suit to danny graingers grandads vest.
Couldn't resist " cutting and pasting " this from a national newspaper comments column in reply to two jambo's slagging off Hibs
The words of this song sum you up perfectly
With apologies to Tammy Wynette
Sometimes it's hard to be a Jambo
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
That squad would struggle to stay in the First Division never mind the SPLQuote:

1) Liquidation, shame - cheerio.

big team? you are a ******* laughing stock.
GGTTH
All remains barry down Gorgie way though dont you know that :confused:
:tee hee:

When the bulldozers are moving in they will finally realise that they have let the club they love, the club their fathers and grandfather's loved go down the tubes without a fight. They have got a thread on brokeback to save their war Memorial, the irony is that the names on that war memorial had the guts to stand up and be counted unlike their present day counterparts.Quote:

Think about that for a minute, then think about us playing them next season, only with them having 11 of these Mchatties quality players.
