    Dean Owens

    Who is he? He's on Off The Ball right now - Hearts-supporting singer from Leith?

    I've never heard of him - but that just might be my age...

    I used to work behind the bar in Leith Dockers Club, his old man Dode Owens was a member of the committee and a really good guy while Dean, came across as a bit of a smarmy arrogant git. Spoke the words and charmed the people but could see it was all a front.

    The Scots media especially sportsound are never happier when they're discussing the Huns/Yams. He's only on the show cause hes a Yam. Either that or its more Richard 'Hun' Wilson, Barry or Derek, Chic, Wacko Jacko, etcetera etcetera.

    glory glory

    It's fantastic listening. First time I've got to hear them cling on to the one thing they have. 'Aye but 5-1 5-1 5-1'

    I normally enjoy the show....but for a guy who insists the Hibs cup win means nothing to him he isn't half droning on and on about it

    I was just in the Ladbrokes at Nicholson Square, heard two older guys talking about the game last night in a fairly neutral way. Just as they parted, one says to the other 'Aye, but we're still the big team'.

    He said it in such a reassuring way as well. I reckon the say it to themselves in the mirror every morning. Bless them.

    He was on a while ago saying he couldn't understand why a couple of brothers from Fife would write a song about the weather in Leith then sang one of his own songs which was about Nashville. They really don't get irony.

    Whats great though is that it is so so so blatantly obvious that 21/5/16 was like losing an arm for 90% of jambos - they were so defined by the mighty hibees !!

  18. #17
    Heard him having a go at Hibs fans for bringing blow up cups to Tynecastle and having a pop at Hearts for bottling it in the 2-2 game last year. Didn't we get it that they beat us 5-1 in the final? Apparently it seems that everything after that doesn't count and we just need to accept that they own us.
    Our current unbeaten streak also doesn't count as they did 22.
    We just need to know our place it seems.
    The ubiquitous Jambo superiority complex.
    I quite like some of his music and have gone to his gigs previously. This was before I realised how small minded and petty he was. Seems a bit of a fud, despite his current charity work for Marie Curie.

    I must admit I never thought it would affect them as much as it clearly has. It's basically destroyed everything they have ever lived for and sang about. The pbs is Like a library,their words nor mine,and they have just no idea what's going on and are circling the wagons round pep cathro. It's amazing how dramatic the drop in them wearing their horrible maroon tops. They used to be everywhere and since may 21 I can honestly say I havent seen one of them. It's been the biggest kick in the gonads any supporter could suffer. Couldn't happen to a more ridiculous bunch of clowns.

    This tool should be putting whatever musical talent he has into writing a new songbook for his chums.

    It's funny but a Leith Jambo is the most bitter of all. Preston and him are great examples.

    He was trying to claim Easter Road isn't Leith!

  22. #21
    So basically just another irrelevant hearts fan in a long line of them who claims they aren't hurting about the fact we are 7 games unbeaten against them, pumped them out the cup twice, rammed their 1902 and in the meantime they've done the square root of **** all for 2 years? Lovely.

    Seriously? I stopped listening...as it was getting boring and a bit predictable. (NHC) but thought Alex Rae came across quite well.

    he has a song called "raining in glasgow" so that might well have just been a joke.

    i saw him once at leith folk club in the victoria hotel. fairly pish.

    Vaugely knew him as a laddie. He stayed in Madeira St and went to Fort primary. A Jambo in Leith in thise days must have suffered a lot, hence the bitter fuddery.

    Never heard of him, didn't hear the off the ball interview but going by what he's supposed to have said he sounds like one of these Jambos with wee willy syndrome.

    I listened to one of his songs and all I'm going to say is that I don't think Ed Sheeran will be looking over his shoulder.

    Comes over as a typical Jambo fud who produces uninspired music.

    They're all the same, they keep saying they're not bothered by us winning the cup, but it's them who keep talking about it. They're trying to convince themselves more than anything else.
    5-1 syndrome will soon be recognised as a genuine condition.

    United we stand here....
