  1. I think we'd need £20-30 million to add 5000 seats onto the wheatfield stand due to land ownership and ethanol tanks at the distillery. The club should be investigating it now but it'll not happen in the next 10-15 years I suspect regardless of what we do. Can't see how we'd expand beyond that.
  2. It doesn't sit right with me to cut hibs allocation. The few thousand fans that go to Easter Road deserve to see that game ahead of supporters who are less committed in comparison who'd but a season ticket in the Roseburn. It also ruins the atmosphere of the derby.
  3. A really disappointing season but the reaction to this predictable result from Hibernian Football Club, it's manager and supporters has been a welcome boost. Thanks to all.
  4. Below average is a bit harsh imo. With everyone fit we're a good side but you have to expect injuries and compensate with signings. Hibs have missed key players too this year. When considering the squads as a whole they're all about average I think, probably shouldn't be competing for third under normal circumstances. Boyce and Halkett got done in European games, I'm not sure what impact it has so long as you're spending the £3m Euro profit on players to compensate. We only spent a third of it apparently. Its interesting that I've seen each of Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs play good stuff and terrible stuff and that away form has been poor for each side. Is this a consequence of playing more possession based football out from the back? Who knows but confidence and team work has been an issue for all three sides. Anyway I would be miserable this summer and desperate for club football to resume to make up for it but I've remembered the Scotland double header this June and we're DEFINITELY qualifying so I'll be too busy soaking that up to care about hearts for a while.
  5. Bingo. It doesn't matter if it's virtually impossible, it'll cause cranial detachment as other fans are aghast at your arrogance.
  6. If you're not on this site to rip the pish out of other fans when you're on top then you're as dull and grey as Aberdeen granite. Creating the jeopardy of calling it early is part of the fun. It's been dull for weeks with the Dandies going oh erm um, not sure if we'll do it ken when it was clear after Rangers they would. That's it my man. Bookmarked for when we murder you this weekend shree zip.
  7. I'd take that, it'd be funny as hell if Inverness got group stage Euro football instead of, let's be honest, pretty average hearts, hibs and Aberdeen sides.
  8. I've got a feeling that it'll all be done this evening with Aberdeen winning and us losing or drawing. I was up for giving Neilson time until we lost to St. Mirren but in retrospect he should have gone a couple of weeks earlier. there's still the chance through Euro qualifiers of course but it requires a lucky draw and us at the top of our game with a good pre season behind us.
  9. St Mirren are probably more likely to win a two leg tie against a good European side than Hearts, Hibernian or Aberdeen are so wouldn't mind them making it anyway.
  10. Not giving Josh Ginnelly the 3 year contract he wants and deserves would be peak Heart of Midlothian. Stop pissing about and get it done.
  11. Is the last 5 pages just kickback trolls whittling absolute tedious nonsense and Aberdeen boys crowing about how angry we are? If so I'll skip it.
  12. He's two and a half so he's at the stage where he can understand basic instructions but is usually inclined not to follow them. He does nap during the day for an hour at least. I just think carrying him on public transport and along busy roads sounds like a pain in the arse. Eating out can be hit or miss I'm terms of enjoyment, I usually shovel my food down Quickly while trying in vain to keep him occupied.
  13. That's my thinking too, I'll be dreading it. Mrs wants to go back to Portugal because we used to go there twice a year. But that was when it was just us and we could get pissed up and have a big lunch in the sun and walk for miles exploring places. I suggested we book a hotel on Lindesfarne Island outside Berwick upon tweed. Let's just find somewhere safe with no traffic and lots of beaches for the boy to play on but I don't think 10 miles over the Scottish border was exotic enough.
  14. I didn't mean for you to get too focused on the work thing, that's just one example of where you might encounter other football supporters day to day. In your hypothetical question, yes I'd have still cared. Obviously less so but still it always stings to lose to Hibs.
  15. You come from a one team city (sorry Cove) so perhaps that's why you disagree with me. You always care when you turn up to work on Monday and take shit off the other side. They'll care less than any of the other 5 games of course but it's still important.
  16. Again you've missed the point. If you really cared about the extreme financial disparity then you'd give up supporting Celtic. You've stated you don't care so you carry on supporting them. Straightforward stuff. Comparing me to a Nazi because I think you're bothered about a game of football is sure fire proof that you're not having a heids gone moment. My work here is done.
  17. You don't have to be raging, I just don't believe you when you say you're not bothered. It was against your city rivals. That would be important to any real football supporter no matter the wider context. It's ok to admit that. I know that. That's why you support a team who are astronomically larger than every other club in the country with the exception of Rangers.
  18. What in God's name are you droning on about? I haven't expressed an opinion on that one way or the other. I'll do the working out for you based upon what others are presumably saying. Beating clubs with a fraction of your budget is hollow (Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen pay their players more than 6 times less than you and that's before we factor in transfer fees). Getting beaten by your rival who has comparable spending power means something, even when there's nothing to play for. oh wow that was surprisingly simple to demonstrate that it can work both ways. You're welcome.
  19. Posting isn't the issue. It's the posting incessantly about how unbothered you are that's funny. That's easy enough to grasp I would have thought...
  20. You're still on here more than 24hrs later pressing this point and I'll be honest you're finally starting to convince me that you're not bothered so well done.
  21. Step one for us was raid the poppy fund. That was morally acceptable given our sacrifice in WW1. Step two was steal from Bosnian pensioners and Lithuanian Government. Slightly dubious I agree but they probably enjoyed the 2006' and 2012' cup wins. St. Mirren will probably have to rely on bake sales. It's worked for Dundee a few times so you never know.
  22. Great thanks. Good to know it won't take forever too, my wife is desperate to go somewhere abroad. We were last away January 2020 and she's 40 this year.
  23. I think they're trying to get rid of sliding tackles, especially ones at speed even though the tackle there was completely safe he's just tripped him to stop play. It's nonsense but there is a small group of people in authority who are determined to spoil the game across all the leagues.
  24. Thanks. The problem is for applying online it just says 'we'll tell you what documents you need to provide'. If you want to work out Before you begin whether of its easier to do online or by post you cant.
