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.If he picks up his winning mentality while he’s at it then that would be grand.4 -
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]65 years would take us back to 1955. Hearts went on a bit of a trophy run in the next 5 years, 2 league titles, 1 Scottish Cup and 2 league cups.
If you go back 60 years, their trophy haul is 4.
Let's stick with 60.1 -
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.Ah shit I forgot about the Gretna one.
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.Findlay and Cameron did say they favoured reconstruction but this is the wrong time so perhaps there is a majority of clubs in favour of reconstruction.
It's deliberately difficult to get through because they fucked about with the structure so much previously.1 -
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.
Did it go down to the last 7 minutes? Think we have a different definition of the wire. Aberdeen lost by 2 points. Hearts lost by a couple of goals.Point still stands - we are the last team to push the OF that close.

Blaming others for their own failures? Hearts? As if that would happen.Nope, it should have been left after the clubs voted against any changes, the timing was never right and in the middle of the whole Covid situation the decision to take it further was a poor one in my view. Hearts are not going to change the system or bring down the SFA, they simply don’t have the support of anyone else. I don’t believe there is a cat in hells chance they will be playing in the Premiership next season and any comp will be a fraction of what they want. I just don’t see what they are going to gain from this other than driving a wedge between the club and others.0 -
That's fair. I think being comfortable selling players you need to also be comfortable that your recruitment is good too.Hibs too. Less than a decade after selling those players they had to spend multiple years in the second tier.
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.0 -
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.Yeah that generation that Hibs brought through must have done wonders for the club's finances but I don't think there are any players at Aberdeen that would have gotten close to some of those fees.
You can argue that is maybe down to a certain failure in Aberdeens youth scouting and training but there haven't been players demanding those kind of fees that Aberdeen have mismanaged as Aberdeen definitely would have sold them if there were.
I think I've actually missed at least a couple too. De La Cruz went for about 2.5m and David Murphy about 2m.0 -
A return from sick leave for the ages.
Good job, Agent Rodders.0 -
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.Outside of the old firm how many players have sold for more than that since? It’s not that common.0 -
Yes. Our midfield last season was okay at creating, but it was getting completely overrun defensively on so regular a basis it was unreal.Out of interest...do Hibs fans see Gogic as an out and out starter for next season?
I've always thought he'd be a great player to have in the squad but maybe not a player that I'd want starting in a game that requires Hibs to take the initiative in an attacking sense.0 -
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.Hearts were slaughtered for the above. For seeing what was coming.
Hibs stuck their head in the sand, made promises they wouldn't keep and basked in the positive PR being the "good guys" would bring.
Hearts were up front and honest about what was coming, Hibs weren't. I'm sure you can see the difference.0 -
But 5-1.Ach, its their USP - we are used to it and find their behaviour predictable and laughable.
They call Hibs fans spoonburners and vermin, generally look down on us despite being a comparable size.
When fans of St J (for example) might say "we have won the last 3 matches against you Hibby pish", Hearts fans will dredge up some period where they won no matches but shitfested draws over a period when the teams were in different divisions and unfurl "4 years unbeaten" flags or some other boring shite.
Its all to deflect from the fact that they spend staggering sums of money on no end result. Last season? Perhaps 5 times St J budget to end up bottom.

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.Yeah it's a weird system. And Dundee's one vote was still the decider. So here we are.0 -
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.I’m bracing myself for losing Boyle tbh. It can’t be all good news. Jack Ross did say we were adding Wright because we only had Horgan and Boyle as wide options so he sounds like an addition rather than a replacement. If Boyle goes we’ll need another wide player.0 -
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.Then they shouldn't have let it get to court and put member clubs at risk of a compensation payment they can't afford. There were other solutions that didn't have that risk. As I've said before it's incredible the support other fans are giving the SPFL over their handling of this. Hibs I can understand. Mid table, noting to win or lose, having a laugh at us, I'd be doing the same. I wouldn't be backing the SPFL like this though. Never seen anything like it in decades following Scottish football and there's some sort of dispute every year.0 -
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.The Sun claiming you are set to make up to 70 redundancies. I assume that's a typical Sun comment and most of them will be part time/casual employees?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.

Ross Jack on Periscope duty.
Genuinely dont know yet, not been announced. Might just be a guy with a camera up at East Mains !1 -
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.Did the Scottish gov not say schools would reopen part time then changed to a completely different strategy after lobbying? If the SPFL had paused the league instead of calling it so soon MAYBE the gov could have been persuaded to play closed door games starting July. Because the SPFL had already called the league the focus was on a later timeline.
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.4 -
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.Will there be 50k fans at each of the semi finals and final?
When are they due to be played?
They cancelled the league and they had broadcasters and sponsors, why would the Scottish cup be given preferential treatment?
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?0 -
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.
Resuming the Scottish cup is to get Celtic a treble nothing more , if they had exited they were be no talk of the Scottish cup resuming5 -
To say that reconstruction in the form she suggested would not pass. Which she was told early and knew.What option did she have? Even Neil Doncaster said he thought there was support. Quite a number of clubs are quoted as saying they were surprised how little support there was in the end. Anonymous sources were quoted in the Record saying some chairmen had decided they wouldn't vote for anything that benefitted Caley. It seems to have been a total charade.
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.
