Vladimir Romanov

[emerald green]

Saw this, and thought I'd post it since it's a good laugh. Mad Vlad right enough.

Old Vlad, i miss the fun of those days, I wonder if the Lithuanian pensioners ever caught up with him ?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

All we hear is [clap-clap]
Vladimir ga-ga...

[LancsHibs]

Must admit I actually miss Mad Vlad he was pure comedy gold Remember when the yambos thought they were the dogs dangleys and they thought they were seriously going to join Europes elite, we tried to tell them Vlads pink empire was built on sand but they refused to even acknowledge the possibility until it actually came crashing down Flumps!

[Thecat23]

The footage of when he arrived is still the best cringe fest ever seen in football. The boy with the chicks hair do was comedy gold in itself.

Rima had sticks.

He reminded us how gullible and up their own erse they are and for sucking them in with the megasuperhotel stadium, champions league and share issue crap I will forever have a wee smile when his name comes up.

The bowing in front of ''Mr'' Romanov was one of many highlights

As for the article, Vlad demanding to be included as a 60 year old substitute for their friendly with Barcelona is a new one for me - a classic, and classic Vlad! You have to give him credit for that one.

Punching Roman Bednar.

If he was in charge of hibs I wouldn't have returned after #4 until the whole board were gone.

You can put it down to an error of judgement if it happened once but he also defended another sex offender on a previous occasion.

Romanov was right about lots of things but his trivialisation of very serious offences is his legacy as far as I'm concerned. They can keep their 4-0s and 5-1s

[blaikie]

Number 5 ........ Wow

[givescotlandfreedom]

Some of the stuff he had going was wonderful. The pyjama man, the magic box, Rima and her golden stick for starters.

Jumbo Jim defended him in press conferences too. At least three of their players stood up to him previously, JJ was spineless enough to go along with it.

Yep, that's why we're hibbies and they are yams.

Sadly that video seems to have disappeared, I was looking for it the other day but no luck.

I suppose it's easy to say that I wouldn't go back or that they should have hounded him out but what do you do if it's your club? I know hearts fans who were disgusted but grudgingly went along as it's their club and they didn't want reduced attendances to have an effect on the field.

Either way, all their victories over that period are somewhat tainted IMO and not just because of the financial irregularities.

Romanov insisting Burley attend a drying out facility in Lithuania. Then hiring Graham Rix as Burley's successor.

Ditto - it had a title like 'Vlad meets the plums' or something similar, but the search engine draws a blank.

[greenginger]

I so wish Vlad would write his memoirs , with full accounts of all his dirty deeds both here and Lithuania.

Could be a best seller , a blockbuster film even.

Come on Vlad where there's muck there's money.

[Iggy Pope]

The fat sparryheid kicking his Russian hat whilst raging along McLeod Street.

[Jim44]

I'm a bit taken aback at the levity and joviality of some of the posts here. As far as I'm concerned, he is a dispicable charlatan who will never be taken to task for his criminal activities in Edinburgh. I'd like to think he is festering away on some archipelago in Siberia.

[Argylehibby]

Can you imagine the media reaction here if it was Romanov making the comments that came out of Ibrox post cup final? I bet they wouldn't have been so quiet and non challenging if it was him talking about the jambo's going on to protect their players.

They are still trying to extradite him but it looks like he is still living the good life for now.

[eastmainsmsh]

Just making an arse of the yams from the word go hero 😉🍺

Sorry but the yams you refer to were conspicuous by their silence except for the odd badly timed hat kicker. The rest were revelling in how far they thought they were told they were leaving the rest of the world behind.

Skip forward to now, without ignoring the utter humiliation of having to publish your own creditors list. I know where I'd rather be today even if budgie is building a one tier stand before they get close to having one share in their club buying it at 12 times uk interest rates

Desperate Dan who used to post on here had it on file I'm sure. If I could be arsed I'd search through some of the hearts threads from a few years back and I'm sure it would be there.

This is where a lot of fans, especially those who accuse hearts fans themselves of being paedos etc...are missing the point.

It's not about Thomson, his allegiances or his crimes, it is indeed about the collective inaction of their support towards their board. A board who either placed success before morals or, more seriously, had a casual attitude towards child sex crimes.

We all know how they feel about heinous crimes but all that needs to be asked is "what did you actually do?".

Never even thought about the paedo angle here though their attitude to the employees convicted of related offences is self evident.

I note the article's attempt to re-write history by omitting the fact that the Hearts support gave him their unequivocal adulation throughout his time in charge. They are every bit as guilty as Romanov, and unlike him didn't even get any cash to show for it.
