Minter.

I think Nelson knew there was some discontent among Hearts supporters regarding him, he can't have been oblivious to it and so chose to get out now before it got worse, which is fair enough. He probably thought he could take us as far as he could and IMO he is right.

Gorgie Rules Smells OK

That was so 2014/2015.

It's funny, I was actually going to compare our situation to Dundee's. I've been hearing all season from Dundee fans calling for Hartley's head because the football has been shite but on the face of it, the situation is really far from critical, and Hartley on paper in the last few seasons has done an excellent job with Dundee. Then I tell them about Neilson and get the same reaction because on paper he is still doing as well as you could probably expect, but watching it week in week out is soul destroying. In the end we all just concluded we're a fickle bunch us football fans.

His record so far this season doesn't merit it, I think the worrying question is how bad it would have to get for Levein/Budge to actually sack him.

I'm still not in the get Neilson out camp (losing to Aberdeen might change that), and despite the last couple of results its a change to see people saying we were unlucky or we might have deserved more. What we have though is a total shitebag nature at the club at the moment and its made its way in to the team. I'm totally for making this club family friendly and making it a great place to watch football, but with the multiple statements we've turned ourselves into an absolute parody. It feels like they are trying to suck the passion out of the fans and it's carrying down into the team, which shows by the amount of times we've managed to throw away good positions or shite ourselves when we play big games. I think it helped more when we were a team that could get on with things whether people liked that or not and would be feared on the pitch (See Romanov) than this cuddly image we are trying to promote of ourselves which is blatantly not true.

Whoever spun this story has played an absolute blinder. Wouldn't happen in a million years.

We will finish near the top 3/4 this season, and that's because the rest of Scottish football in general is absolute pap.

This. The Romanov years were by far the most exciting time in our recent history. Less family friendly club statements and more media monkeys. The whole spending outwith our means thing actually worked out okay too.

Would have been better without the white collar (assuming that is what it has). Will probably buy it since it's something we've never had before. Edit: The pink will go great with the discoloured seats in the Roseburn.

Quite liking the look of this, about time we had someonething a bit different again, not had something out the box since the blue and pink wonga top. Edit: A yellow top with a maroon sash would be magnificent if you take that banner as a clue.

Whoooosh.

Pathetic stuff from the Hibs fans on here, the Scottish cup win was 2 months ago, time to move on. If the roles were reversed I doubt we'd still bring it up tbh. 5-1 yasss

I'm not sure where I stand on our management. On the face of it, a championship and a 3rd place finish is excellent progress, particular winning a championship that has both Rangers and Hibs in the style that we did it. It does feel like there has been a shift in the way we play though since we got promoted, and definitely not for the better, I'm not sure if that's just because we got away with things more in the Championship. I can't really remember a time when I've been this frustrated when watching Hearts though, other than maybe under Csaba Laszlo. Neilson's constant tinkering with the team (more so towards the start of the season it has to be said so maybe lessons have been learned) cost us far too many points, often in absolutely ridiculous games to try it too. I do think there is more potential in this team than Neilson is getting from them, 3rd in the league is good on paper, but taking into account it's been the worst SPFL since I can remember, and the amount of times we've chucked a game we should have won we could have challenged both Aberdeen and Celtic further IMO. It would be unfair not to give Neilson (and Levein) another season and then judge them on that...unless we get papped out by FC Infonet then I'm all over the witch hunt.

We took a bit of money of each currency with us and if we ran out used a cash machine. Handy to have some with you so you aren't scouting for a bank machine whenever you get somewhere. Echo what was said above about using buses too, we used 'student agency buses' between prague and vienna which was excellent, had tvs on the back of every seat and was cheaper than the train, only about 14 euros iirc.

It would have been shite to have seen Hibs win the cup in 2012. There's been an air of inevitability about Hibs winning the cup since that game though with the players and fans wanting to right the wrongs, their record in the Scottish Cup has been excellent since then. Edit: I mentioned this on the actual cup final thread but Hibs scoring a last minute goal against one of the old firm was by far the most pleasing way they could have broken the duck from my point of view

BBC can go f**k themselves cutting off Sunshine on Leith.

Rangers Well done Hibs, delighted for the Hibs fans I know that have waited for that, will be an incredible atmosphere around Leith tonight.

This referee has been excellent.

I'd like Hibs to win because I think the celebrations would be pretty special, and certainly eclipse anything the old firm has ever seen. At the same time the Hibernian train wreck is magnificent to watch. Tough call. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

If we win 8 out of our last 10 games I reckon that would be enough to clinch the title. Genuinely believe the quality is so poor this season that that isn't entirely unbelievable! BELIEVE

Can see us sneaking up the table and winning the league now.

Sorry - didnt see the other reply! I found it to be a bit stodgy so had to add in a wee bit more milk than i usually would, apart from that it really is excellent, adding bananas is a good shout. I didnt find there to be a lack of sweetness but i did put in an outrageous amount of peanut butter.

Reading this thread got me in the mood for porridge so tried mixing in peanut butter like someone mentioned earlier. Whoever thought of that was a smart man.
