The editors and Editorial direction of Radio Scotland.
Now there’s something that has never had a light shone on it.
I’d imagine most Hibs fans and probably extending out to other clubs would have noticed a chance in Sportsound in recent years. More confrontational, controversial, stirring things up - Richard Gordon turned from mild mannered accountants to God knows what. Was it The Rangers going down wot done it?
Only a handful of folks seem to mention this.

There was a guy on here (username Davie Roy who appears to know a lot about tv and radio) who seemed to indicate one of the main guys in charge was a Hearts fan which would not be in the least surprised given the editorial content from never actually properly discussing Romanov to the truly bizarre act of an Aberdeen fan indicating it was Karma when Hibs were relegated to the pro Hearts regular studio guests.

Kiwidoug is the same guy that said their second half of the season was demonstrably better than ours.

He's the sort of guy that would spend a day in a revolving door because he couldn't figure it out.

He`s the bloke I was talking about! They have FOH, we had Hands off Hibs where one of their most prolific goal scorers stood side by side with us

He is one of their top roasters, an attention seeker whose more to be pitied than scorned. And that's the opinion of our family yam!

FoH have announced a slight increase to their monthly donations to Hearts. They didn't say what it was but they're already donating 120k a month to their budget (basically 10% of Hearts' monthly expenditure).

It doesn't look to me like they're too bothered (at least those in charge of FoH) about the delay in taking over the club and just see the contributions as a means of survival, which is fair enough.

I wonder if Hearts are getting rent relief at Herriot Watt?

They seem to think he's a guru. It's like us and CWG, (and others) except our gurus actually know what they're talking about.

Mental Guru!
Some older fans might get that!

The other difference is we don't go overboard about those type of signings &, as in your example, they're usually on fairly short contracts. Nelom was less than 1 year, Malaury Martin was 4!!

Martin now playing with Serie D club, Palermo - he`s stepped up then lol

Following 'Self sufficient Southern' I think Queen Anne should henceforth be known as 'Self interest Budge'.

Honestly JKB full of folk complaining about others looking after their own interests and ignoring that fact that is the only game in town for them

Quotes from wayback

"Ron Gordon lending money to Hibs is a wonderful opportunity for him to activate the securities he has on Hibs assets such as the ground and the training barn.

If Ron Gordon plays this right, he could gain ownership of a large chunk of Edinburgh real estate for a relative song."

"Hopefully Easter Road sold off to become a supermarket. Hibernian. Always the Lidl team"

Just WTF these people wander our streets.

Great bit of distraction from their issues. If someone throws a stick for them they'll fetch it back for hours on end.

They've just finished below "the LIDL team" for the third season in a row, so have to get some comfort somewhere.

Anyway, if we're LIDL then this must be the Hearts equivelant....

Unfortunately she will squander the extra cash on magic beans, jet-packs and a monorail. The reality for Hearts is that they would be better off if they were relegated. They could justifiably get rid of Herman the German, the ex-Managers Club and their over the hill over paid players. Start afresh with a Manager that knows the Championship, let FOH take over (let Budge stay on as a figurehead CEO if necessary) and be back in the Premier League the season after next, leaner and fitter. In my opinion, if the Premier League reconstruction is approved and they stay in the top-flight, they will no doubt continue as normal and face the same problems at the end of next season. There is something seriously wrong at the centre of their Club, which if they don’t address now, will drag them down.

Re Kiwi Doug. I believe he may be seeing all the infinite number of Universes and is describing one of these accuaratly. This universe also holds true that gambling millions in the hope you get promotion is the same as gambling millions to prevent relegation and that 17 points clear equated to 4 points behind. Known as "the Scotland were world champions equivalency", having beaten England in 1967.
Of course he could simply be an @rs3

For any Hearts fans looking in, we are talking about T-rex, and not Trex, the low fat alternative to butter you use in your bake sales.

At least it’s our Barn and we don’t need to move off when some random 7 aside teams turn up to play because they’ve booked it months ago!

As for Lidl teams.... if Lidl means paying your way and no bumping charities (including the Lady Haig Poppy Fund - for those looking in) then happy with that!

I mean we all have them, think Nelom for us for example. The difference being, our random nobodies pitch up, do nothing of note then quietly move on. Theirs arrive, do a weird interview where they talk about how small Hibs are, do nothing of note then move on to part time football or something. Utter weirdos

To be fair to Hibs, Nelom was a Dutch internationalist.

I'm fairly certain he isn't a Kiwi. Back in the day on the Scotsman forums I caught him numerous times unable to keep his time differences straight lol. The Prof and Totty were fellow compulsive liars.....
