You have to wonder why the BBC would post this propaganda right now ?

It's the anniversary of that game today. I wonder if they'll do the same on Thursday for the last time a team that wasn't Celtic won a major trophy.

I dont understand Hibs fans getting upset about people, Hearts fans or otherwise, looking back at that game.

It was a huge game, and they got a landmark result (that they rightly celebrate, as we would if it were us).

Taking the hump about it just makes us look a bit churlish, and dare i say, a bit hunnish in trying to shout down anything that isnt a puff piece about Hibs.

Tbh I don’t really care. (Them bottling it and us winning in 2016 healed that wound) I can understand why folk would though. The way they won it, Black should have been sent off and then the penalty that never was. We still may not have won but it was the manner in which it was won that sticks in folks throats.

But calling folks huns and churlish says exactly where your coming from and is out of order!

Got the reaction you wanted btw!

Relegation seems to have put their gas at a peep today a little bit. My Facebook timeline is very quite on the subject for the first time.

Craig Levein is the 'root of all problems' at Hearts
Ex-midfielder says too many want to ‘line their own pockets’ in Scottish football
By Barry Anderson
Tuesday, 19th May 2020, 7:40 am


The 35-year-old backed supporters to rally and help Hearts survive the drop but also savaged those running Scottish football, said they are only concerned with "lining their own pockets".


Black watched Hearts toil all season and feels former manager Levein is largely responsible. He was sacked in October and replaced by Daniel Stendel after the Edinburgh club fell to the bottom of the Premiership.


The Scottish Professional Football League yesterday officially ended the top-flight campaign and consigned Hearts to relegation.


Although admitting owner Ann Budge must shoulder a portion of the blame, Black said the majority of it must lie with Levein.


"I think it's ridiculous," he stated. "Ann has come in and saved the club, to then have to take some blame for a bit of the mess having kept Levein in the job for the amount of time she did.


"On a personal note, I think he's the root of all problems for the state Hearts are in."


Levein capped Black for Scotland whilst managing the national team but endured an unfulfilling second spell as manager at Tynecastle Park.


He has been working in a background role since being relieved of his duties as manager and director of football. He is due to leave officially on May 31 when his contract expires.


"The club will always survive because the fans will support them through thick and thin," said Black. "They dug them out of a hole once and they will dig them out again. They will bounce back from relegation.


"It's soul-destroying to watch – having achieved what they did to see how they are now."


Black won the Scottish Cup with Hearts eight years ago today in the famous 5-1 victory over city rivals Hibs. They were relegated two years later after lapsing into administration but recovered with aplomb to qualify for Europe in 2016.


This recent fall from grace comes after the SPFL and clubs agreed the 2019/20 season could not be completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.


Hearts had eight games remaining and were four points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership. Black even suspects the decision to end the campaign at this moment might have been timed to dampen the 5-1 anniversary.


"The people who run Scottish football are a bit of a shambles anyway," he said. "They've probably looked at this decision knowing it's today that Hearts are going to celebrate the greatest result in their history.


"To demote them and end the league on the day that they have, I wouldn't put it past them organising that. I've always had an issue with the way Scottish football is run."


He feels the Scottish Football Association don’t offer enough help to the SPFL, clubs or grassroots development.


"The people who were on the board when I was there were more interested in lining their own pockets than looking after the youth," he added.


"I've played in England and I still get contact from organisations down there. They send you links about wellbeing and offer you opportunities. I've played most of my career in Scotland now and I haven't heard from the Scottish FA once."

Thanks Ian Black, now the timing of the SPFL announcement all makes sense...

There's also the nonsense about people 'lining their pockets".

Anyone who might be making money in Scottish football will do so regardless of what league Hearts aree in.

The vast majority however struggle just to break even. Are they meant to take an even bigger hit (on top of the Covid-19 stuff) just to help Hearts?

Easy Tiger Leslie The Laundryman was only charged never convicted let alone tried. You might want to retract that before he sues you for a 4 figure sum...

They obviously meant to, but the "SFA" is such a "shambles" (according to Sevco, HMFC & Inverness) they must have got their dates wrong.

I didnt call anyone a hun or churlish i dont think, i said that getting wound up about them or others celebrating that match is churlish and hunnish (meaning the behaviour, not the people).

Hibs emailed me today, to say that a refund for Hamilton away, will be in my account by the end of the week, this was for away season ticket holders
So Livvi quite rightly have passed this onto Hearts

Not an AST but got the Hamilton away tic in my wallet still. Will email the club

Don't think anyone is getting wound up? The fact that a Beeb journo can write a piece on it but fail to mention they were overspending so much they went bust within a year seems a bit odd though, no?

It’s all Levein’s fault but he admits that Budge must take a portion of the blame ! What, you mean like hiring the guy three times perhaps ? The way they are all trying to deflect the blame for this clusterfeck from where it actually lies, with Budge the Fudge, is astounding, but very comforting because the longer this sad old biddy is in charge over there, the better it will be as they slump deeper into the mire, lovely !

So whose fault is it? is it Ann or is it Craig?

That's some conspiracy theory. I assume they didn't do it today because that would have been too obvious.
