    Even if it did happen (which it won't), no Hibby would seriously consider that 2012 was the year we finally ended the long wait.

    It would be funny though.
    Be ***** to be honest.

    When hibs win the cup I want to be there and saviour the moment forever and think of it on my deathbed.

    No a cup given to us after what happened last year.

    **** that for a laugh.

    I wonder who The Rangers paid the Wallace money to ? It surely would not have gone direct to Hearts and I doubt that UBIG would have paid it into their Ukio Bankas account or the Administrator would have grabbed it to clear some of the debt.

    A Swiss bank account would be my guess.

    Wow...The EEN's shoddy stories fail me at the best of times but that one's almost left me speechless!! I've not heard of anyone, not even one Hibs fan saying this whatsoever and i know plenty and see/read plenty on here??

    Now it just goes to prove they just make up whatever they want to get a reaction, that's it...anything to get a reaction and i suppose it's worked but only because it's just so ridiculous, it's actually laughable!
    I just told my old boy who's 78yr old and he burst oot laughing and just shook his heid, that sums it up i think...

    What a load eh pish. Everyone knows that their cup win was bought with money they didn't have and it looks like it could cost them dearly. That's enough for me, wouldn't want it overturned and I don't know of any hibbies who've said anything of the sort
    To be honest I remember recently reading a couple of references to this on this forum but I think the comments were tongue n cheek and more designed to annoy Jambo visitors as opposed to a serious notion by the poster.

    This. Be a lie to say it hasn't been mentioned, but more in a 'that's what they deserve/wouldn't it be a hoot if.....' scenario rather than a realistic possibility.

    Winning a cup goes hand in hand with enjoying the moment itself and taking the financial benefits after. As unique as it would be to take a cup off Hearts like that, couldn't think of any more of a worthless token gesture.

    Hearts should definitly be stripped of the 2012 cup winners title. There is no way Skacel came back to Hearts to play for £ 3000/week, when guys like Driver were getting £ 10,000/week.

    The Evening News reported on Skacel doing a private deal with Vlad back in July 2011 to bring him back to the club and not break Hearts new wage cap. I'll bet if an examination was made of UBIG's accounts it would turn up payments to a certain Mr Rudi Skacel.

    That doe not mean Hibs should get the Cup. We do not deserve it any more than any other club Hearts cheated on the way to the final.


    They should be stripped of the Cup and heavily fined !........on second thoughts forget the second bit.

  10. #8379
    All for the cheats being stripped of the cup, but as has been said, Hibs certainly don't deserve it. It's a Mickey Mouse competition which the Jambo's only get excited about because of our sad, jinxed record in it. If we ever prevail in this shabby wee tournament, it should be on our merits, and not because some deluded clowns have wrecked their club in the long run by cheating in the short term.

    When the final whistle went on that terrible day, I thought I would never forget that gut wrenching feeling that had taken over me and to be fair the whole summer I was feeling bitter and hurting. However with every passing day I am more and more grateful that I was in the Green and White end that day. The Yams have led a merry dance lapping it up while their owner was completely destroying 140 years of their beloved club.

    However bad the 5-1 was, It won't hurt anywhere near a hundredth of the hurt that will come from seeing your team going down the drain. I can't believe they haven't all realised yet but soon it will dawn on them that their football team (the one thing in life that never changes) is very possibly never going to be the same again. However much I get frustrated with Hibs, I would never change them for another club and to know for sure that we will be around for a very long time is certainly worth that loss in May. I'd rather never see Hibs lift the scottish cup than see them going bust by overspending to win it.

    If you are looking in EEN. How about asking a few questions on things that don't seem right to the untrained eye never mind a journalists natural inquisitive nature.

    http://local.stv.tv/edinburgh/301232...-fee-to-agent/

    €190k Aye Right.

    Especially as:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18079732

    And I don't want the Scottish Cup handed over just natural justice.

    I don't know a single Hibby who would want the cup awarded to us. What a load of utter fiction.

    As far as I'm concerned their 2012 cup win was already tainted and worthless because of Thomsons bias. The financial doping should confirm it for everyone.

    As for getting it stripped from them...too right

    Awarded to us? No thanks. Our trophies and 5-1's come fair and square.

    As wee Gordon would say, I'm more concerned that I have a rather nice Yeo Valley yoghurt in my fridge about to go past its use by date, than I am about a Scottish Cup 'win' v Hearts.

    Comedy gold whoever wrote it though

    I was over the final the very next day and the Monday, after me and the missus booked a little getaway just in case the worst happened - had my own wee cup final win over those two days too and my decisions, unlike Thomson's, were very much not outside the box (sorry admins)

    Have to stick up for JC here. It's not their job to comment on UBIG's compliance with the law. They are acting as HMFC's auditors and, in that respect, their report is understandable.

    I am not sure what difference a reference to UBIG's non-compliance would have made.
    It seems that JC are not the only auditors who appear to be too close to their clients:

    Did I just hear mcglynns interview right? "Hammill, Grainger, zaliukas and Paterson out injured....right they're that's 5 or 6 players out and that's half a team".......erm is that not 4? 2 of which are long term injuries! In fairness he may have said other names as well but I have real difficulties making out what he says!

    He was also waffling on about how good a season Paterson was having, he was playing as a striker that scored about 4 goals all season, hate to see the boy on a bad run

    Just released on their Facebook page.


    The Foundation of Hearts today (Friday 22 February) urged Hearts supporters worldwide to get behind its scheme to bring fan ownership to the club as what it sees as some of the most crucial days in Hearts’ history are entered.

    “Without doubt, the recent developments around the Lithuanian companies involved with Hearts, including the demise of Ukio Bankas, have moved things onto a different footing which brings new ownership of our club very much nearer,” said Foundation chairman Alex Mackie.

    “We are therefore asking fans to go onto our website (www.foundationofhearts.org) as soon as possible and make a pledge of support.

    “This is not the time for recriminations or to create division among the Hearts community but rather a unique opportunity for Hearts fans to create history by throwing their weight behind a scheme which brings meaningful responsibility to the supporters, efficient and transparent management, strong governance, control of football matters handed to the right people, an emphasis on youth development, financial growth, and real Hearts people leading the way.

    “The Foundation has been working diligently for this moment and has brought together a skilled team of business and financial experts – all Hearts supporters – as well as the two largest fans groups, the Federation of Hearts Supporters Clubs and the Heart of Midlothian Shareholders Association.

    “This is a great team which has the interests of the club and the supporters at its heart, can deliver on behalf of the fans, and will provide the platform for a strong future for our club. We have already had great backing from fans. Now, as we move into this crucial final period, we need others to look closely at what we are proposing (the details are on our website) and hopefully give us their backing.

    “This really is the time for Hearts fans to make history and open a magnificent new chapter in the story of our club.”

    I "almost" feel sorry for Foh, they mean well and I'm sure they're really keen to run hearts properly and within their means they've just absolutely nae cash!

    They'll get there wish eventually though when they start again in the 3rd division next year.

    If these jokers are so committed to fan ownership, should their routine not be boycott Tynecastle, let the club go into liquidation and then re-form ?
    Certianly not fall for the Scotsman, Evening News and official Heart of Midlothian F.C. propaganda by buying season tickets.

    Their supporters are so confused, they always seem to follow the guidance from Hibs.net. I am now going to contribute to their website and commit myself to helping their cause and desire for fan ownership by boycotting Tynecastle myself.

    There's a hint of panic about that statement. Their talking of days now instead of weeks and months.
    I think they are just setting themselves up main contenders to start a new club.

    Ha, I like it! Almost feel sorry for them. If it wasn't for the fact that it is a vile, disgusting institution they were trying to save, I might feel sorry for them too. However, I don't

    I wouldn't do that. They will be using those pledges as a way of sourcing some start up capital. No point in helping them out.

    Aaah, (Without) Foundation. Been going 2 years apparently and they have achieved the square root of fek all.

    Without desire to invest a penny it seems.
