I thought Docherty was pretty good for us, but there's some serious limitations with him in my opinion. First, he'll be on higher wages than anyone currently at ER, and I'm unconvinced he's good enough to justify that here. Second, he's really not a great passer of the ball. He's not a great tackler either. He was also invisible in the Derby and at Pittodrie in two big games for the club which concerns me. More positively he does run about like f**k, he reads a game okay, plus it's nice to have a midfielder getting into the box. I just don't think he's enough of an upgrade on either Mallan or Hallberg to justify the money he'd likely be looking for.

What was the last thing McGregor actually won like? I mean beyond a decent payday when he left for nothing when the old club died. Since then.

Fucking typo, was meant to be 55 to specifically exclude their terrible trio side but include Killie skelping them last day of the season to beat them to the league [emoji1]

Should have went with 3 trophies in 65 years to make your point. It's the same number as Kilmarnock for reference. Less than Hibs, Aberdeen or Dundee Utd. One ahead of St Mirren. Which is why their sense of entitlement and demands to be treated as special is fucking baffling to everyone else.

You don't need a majority, you need 80% from every tier of the league. It's deliberately difficult to get through because they fucked about with the structure so much previously.

Behind the goals at Dens. I was in this at the Hibs Aberdeen semi final in 1986 and have no recollection of it being this big. It looks enormous here.

Aberdeen and Hearts both would have won the league with a point in their last game. And yes, technically it did go to the last 7 minutes for Aberdeen. If they'd scored twice they'd have won the league.

Blaming others for their own failures? Hearts? As if that would happen.

That's fair. I think being comfortable selling players you need to also be comfortable that your recruitment is good too. I think Aberdeen have been miles better at this recently than most, so if I was an Aberdeen supporter I'd be less fussed about selling players because I'd have reasonable confidence they would be replaced adequately. That was not the case at Hibs at all.

It basically paid off the stadium and built the training ground. It not being reinvested on the playing side was a bit of a disaster tbh. I think I've actually missed at least a couple too. De La Cruz went for about 2.5m and David Murphy about 2m.

A return from sick leave for the ages.

It's not an annual occurrence or anything, but Hibs have sold O'Connor, Whittaker, Thomson, Brown, Fletcher, and Mcginn for more than that. He's wrong about Hibs highest fee being the 4.4m for Brown fwiw, Fletcher Hibs got more for after sell on fees got added. Mcginn will likely be the same.

Yes. Our midfield last season was okay at creating, but it was getting completely overrun defensively on so regular a basis it was unreal.

Hearts didn't have the insurance to cover it. Other clubs did. Yet another example of why this entire horse and pony show has been about distracting Hearts fans about how utterly shite your club is run.

But 5-1.

It was the deciding vote cause the boy who didn't order seats for your new stand had hatched a cunning plan. Surprisingly it didn't work out.

I love the boy, but he's got a year left on his contract and has had two pretty bad knee injuries. He's came back from the injuries without missing a beat, and he's continually got better, but if there's a good offer for him I think we probably have to take it. I think it would take a good offer though.

You're a fucking halfwit btw. You honestly think Hibs took their decision to get it up Hearts? Along with 9 other clubs in the league? They took decisions based on the best interest of their clubs. And it was an identical decision making process to the one Hearts would have taken if they weren't the worst side in the league.

Aye. Seen a boy who was running hospitality saying him and all his team had been made redundant. Others likely will be other matchday staff. But, I'd not be surprised if they had cut everything else to the bone. I'd also be surprised if every other club hadn't at least been looking at ditching their matchday staff at the moment.

Is he outside the gay sauna on Leith Walk?

On what timescale did they change their mind on schools? Was it about what happens in August maybe? Which is when they have allowed football to start. Because transmission of the virus is now mostly under control here. This is going to be difficult for you, but can you perhaps imagine how every single other industry (which dwarf football in terms of importance to the economy) would have reacted to special exemptions being introduced for football while their businesses go out the box. BTW, football restarting is one thing. There's zero to say that it won't be put back into lockdown again. This is another reason why they want to start the new season rather than try to finish the last one.

Given they've said they're only going to schedule it when fans are allowed, I'd say yes it will be in front of roughly that amount of people. Unless of course Hearts fans boycott/think they'll lose. They ended the league early because there is a substantial increase in TV money for the coming season. Attempting to finish the league meant they would have breached their contract with Sky for that and have to renegotiate it. This after Sky knew that BT had bid 13m less a season than they did. Why exactly do you think the only clubs not wanting to end the league were those who were impacted by relegation/non promotion and Rangers who need to appeal to their nutjob support?

That is utter nonsense. The SFA want the cup to go ahead because they can't afford the hit of not having around 140-150k fans buying tickets for the three remaining games. The clubs remaining in it will all be in line for around half a million each just from the gate receipts from the semi finals. Cancelling it means refunding the sponsor and broadcasters.

To say that reconstruction in the form she suggested would not pass. Which she was told early and knew. There was some support for reconstruction. There was never anything remotely approaching enough to have what Budge proposed passed. It was a complete waste of time and energy. And to me it looks like it was only done to wind up Hearts fans when it was rejected. How many new FOH subs and season tickets have been sold on the back of other sides rejecting Hearts reconstruction plan? The reason why reconstruction is difficult is because you have to produce something better than what you have for the majority of teams. The Budge proposal was better for 6-8 teams and definitively worse for another 36 sides.
