    Had the pleasure of sitting next to a yam on a bus today. Was on the phone to my mate talking about the Europa League draw and the yambolino thought wise to say "What do you think will happen to Hearts?" I replied "Honestly? I think they are knackered..."

    He turned and said "Really? Well I think we will last a lot longer than Hibs. We have such a large following and we have so much more money at our disposle"

    I mean seriously? Do Hearts fans really seriously think this??

    They cannot be that stupid surely?!
    Presumably you were not on a bus Ibrox bound if said Jambo passenger had paid a fare!! Mind you that lot are not known for paying their way...

    To be fair I think he was a concessionary fare...

    I still cannot believe some of them really believe Hibs will be bust before them. Do they not read news?

    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!

    To Be Fair.. We had to endure a Trip to the hearts clubstore to buy some (distant) but not distant enough... relative something..

    They barriers were there before last Christmas !!!!



    You seriously have to do the long Snake - walk around a long row or two of these crowd barriers just to enter the dump of a store.. Maybe they cany afford to get someone to move them.. / or they are considered a Permanent - Safety - Security / queue for Ticket feature.. ??
    Are they not left over barriers from last seasons league cup victory parade?!

    A potential rescue plan for the HMFC?

    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)

    Genuinely Perplexed by them

    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?

    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

    If the big team stumble into the new season, I wonder what big crowds they will get watching this side getting bummed every week.

    Big team, Big debts, Big royal humpings.

    It's really all win win this summer.
    1) Liquidation, shame - cheerio.
    2) Limp on, fine - lots of fun and laughing ahead at the low crowds in that crumbling stadium, as more "bills" fail to get paid, and well, just ridiculous amounts of things to laugh at.

    big team? you are a ******* laughing stock.

    My thoughts exactly. Despite Alan Preston et al saying the exact opposite in the media whenever theyre asked, the response of their fans to their situation has been pathetic. They have no baws at all.

    But they're going to sell 12,000 season tickets and sell out Tynecastle each and every week, while we struggle to get half as much...

    We would sell out Easter Road had we been told we're close to death. Of course we've not been told that.

    It's too late for them to do anything meaningful now, all they can do is give more of their ill gotten gains to the club and hope that someone with a spare 10m comes along and saves them. When action was required they burried their heads in the sand and hid behind 5-1 and we owe it to ourselves. 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.

    For the record for anyone genuinely wondering, Mchatties the one our very own David Worherspoon (who's a sub at best right now, no offence meant) ripped the pish out of at the cup game.

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