This might sound really old-fashioned but I'm 50-cough and wouldn't dream of swearing in front of my mum. My neighbours however - jeez-o. The old woman across from us regularly has her family round and the language would make a docker blush. To hear a bairn of about 5 or 6 calling his gran a "greedy c**t" for not giving him more sweets was one highlight.
However, I met two of the teenage grandsons down the street and they were exceptionally polite and well-spoken so it might just be reacting to the environment.
Just saw this.
Exact same here. I'm almost 40 and I'd sooner die than swear in front of my mum.
Find it really, really weird when folk swear around their kids or tolerate their kids swearing at them. Always thought it's just one of these boundaries.

Over £25k raised by Hearts fans in 2 days by “Big Hearts” charity to make sure that some of those who can’t afford the expense of a day out at Hampdump,get to enjoy a free experience in Scotlands second city.
Incredible effort once again from the Gorgie
It's a great thing they've done. Fantastic work.
Looks like 18,500-19,000ish sold, which justifies the 50/50 split, imo.

He is a diving wee rat. VAR has basically neutered the guy.
I mind when VAR came in having a discussion with some mates about how Boyle was now basically fucked as a huge part of his game would go out the window with VAR. Loads of players dive and cheat, but he's just comical with it. I think that's been shown to be largely correct.
He's a decent Premiership player. Nothing more. f**k knows what Hibs are paying him, but I hope it's a fortune.

Naismith should have gone further, imo. Just baws out, "this lot are fucking pish and we're going to pump them".

I think we're maybe getting Rangers a game too late.
These Old Firm bad runs rarely last very long, and I think playing at Hampden will suit them much more than playing at Dens or Dingwall. The break from playing league games will probably be welcome for their players.
Hoping we make a better game of it than the League Cup semi, when we were far too timid and basically never showed up. Going in with serenely low expectations.

When I first started supporting us, we were in the top 6 all the time. To me, this simply feels like a "return to the norm" rather than a successful season.
Aye, just a 40-year blip, which followed a 30-year blip.
The norm.

Did you go under Romanov when you guys were effectively his toy and all you could do was hope and pray he had good intentions as the alternative to Tynie being Cala flats?
I was a teenager when Vlad turned up at Hearts. My view on the world is very different now. It's also a very different situation. He was a dodgy geezer rather than the issue of what Hibs have entered into.
And you actually touch on an interesting point there. Hearts had no choice. We were fucked, basically. Hibs have entered into this with no real need to do so.
Anyway. All been gone over before.

Cool mate, it wasn't a go, just mystifies me.
You hope it's a reckless move that provides difficult problems in the future, lets be honest about that though.
I personally think it's a good thing, the proof will be in the pudding very soon though. Partly wishful thinking on my part I admit. I also believe the Gordons have the right intentions for our club and they would do anything not to tarnish Ron's legacy. If it was actually Ron Gordon entering this partnership for the club I would actually be more apprehensive.
If Hearts enter into a deal like Hibs have, I'll honestly never be back.

The whole thing seems to bother you more than it does anyone else on this forum mate. Unsure as to why you give a shit so much.
Outlined at length why previously.
I find it equally baffling that so many supporters are happy to be cavalier with the future of their club.
Similar to people who aren't bothered about Livingston finding it strange that I object to them.
Governance of football matters. Scottish football has come through all kinds of problems relating to how our clubs have been run over the years, and I think this is a potentially reckless move, and potentially a very difficult to solve problem for the future.

Media reporting at the time of the Foley deal said the following.
"The SFA’s articles on dual interest state that nobody who is involved in the management or administration of a club, or has any power to manage or influence the management or administration of a club should be able to do so for another club."
I'm not down with the details here. Did the SFA change that section of the articles, or are Hibs now just quite clearly flaunting the rules?
If we're going to go down the road of allowing this kind of thing, then it needs to be codified rather than it now just becoming acceptable for clubs to pick and choose which rules of the governance of our game they follow.
ETA: I see the deal included the following:
This approval has been granted subject to written undertakings, signed by the club, which among other commitments ensure:
- Shareholding from the interested party, Black Knight Football and Entertainment [BKFE], does not exceed 29.99%.
- That the agreement with the interested party does not preclude the club from participating in any UEFA competition it qualifies for due to BKFE’s interest in any other clubs.
So, basically it's option B now. The dual interest section is essentially a dead duck.
A concerning development.

Hearts are 9/1 at some bookies for this btw.
Hearts are playing well, winning games, scoring goals. Rangers are in a slump and drowning in negativity.
Some laugh when we're 2-0 down in ten minutes on Sunday.

Aye, this. Apart from anything else, the players won't believe it any more than the (not daft) fans do. Where's the quick boost in player moral from talking obvious nonsense? There should be a middle ground from Clement.
He knows the players better than we do. He's got a few minutes to decide what to say and has decided that he reckons the players need to hear a bit of positivity.
I don't think at this stage it really matters to him how it comes across to the fans. There's hardly any of the season left and what he needs is his players to loosen up a bit.
I don't think the players are going to suddenly be walking on air after what he said, but it's more about avoiding the the inevitable fuss if he criticises them. That just piles pressure on. It' damage control. Of course they know it's a bad night. They don't need their manager out there telling everyone how bad.
As for talking about how he's going to fix it, I don't really see what that could mean practically. He's not going to give us an in-depth tactical analysis, and anything he does say he's going to change will be interpreted in the media as criticism of certain players.
Basically, it's a post-match interview and nobody should give a f**k what he said.

I think anyone with a functioning brain could understand Clement's post-match.
The players are on a bad run at a vital time, he sees no benefit in going after them as he needs a quick jump in moral. Get out there and say how well they played, give them a wee boost and project a bit of calm.
There's not a fucking prayer he believes what he said, and only the most credulous of observers could possibly think he does. Many Rangers fans will.

"sorry support for another shite season,".
A fair summary of Hibernian and their supporters.

St Mirren's start to the season has probably shafted a few people's predictions.
If you remove their first seven games, their form is that of a team in a relegation battle.
I'm aware that points won in August are as good as any other time of year, but that wee purple patch was built on narrow games going their way by a goal. Fitba is small margins, and they've been propelled into the top six on the back of that.
Expect some utter fools to hire Robinson and be surprised when it doesn't go well.

These threads are the same on every forum in the world.
Take last season's table, apply your team's coloured tinted glasses, post.
Next season almost everybody will predict Hearts to finish third, Killie and St Mirren to make top 6 etc etc.

Just heard the "Giwatiletmespeak" McIntyre - Stewart interaction from Saturday.
Fucking hell.
Stewart lost the run of himself and should have handled it more maturely, but I can completely feel his pain on this one.
McIntyre is trying to present him as some massive Monty-Fan, when all Stewart is doing is making the point (a resonable one) that maybe Hibs might be better off concentrating on other things to change before emptying yet another coach. You can agree or disagree with that, but it's a fair enough viewpoint to have.
Stewart sounds completely at the end of his tether with McIntyre, and I think most reasonable people could see why. McIntyre is like a wee shite in the school playground running about trying to start arguments and cause fights. He's a fucking c**t.
Stewart basically called him out for being a p***k in this interaction. Tom English did similar over the Warnock thing a few weeks ago. McIntyre must be horrendous to work with. All he does is chase wind-ups, twist people's words, sensationalise their statements, and then try to make them into controversy. Think how draining it must be dealing with that week after week after week.
He's such a dreadul, dreadful host. BBC complaint sent. I know they'll ignore it, but I couldn't not.

Aye. Not clear to me why they don't just put the OF game right after the split and get it all announced.
Seems painfully simple. Am I missing something?
Hope Hearts get a third trip to Dens. Dundee's always a good day out.

Dundee have completed the make up of the Top 6
What a great Home and Away record.
meaning Hibs
The Wrong Mans? Aye, Hibs have signed plenty of them.
and Motherwell will play in the bottom half.
And these fucking losers wanted MY money!

Hearts have also clinched European football

OFFICIAL HEARTS JUGGERNAUT THREAD 2020-
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

Hard to say. The system seems to be spitting up the odd seat here and there. It seems (from mates of mine who can be fucked counting this stuff) that there are about 180 left on sale, but I think there's possibly 2,000ish that haven't been put up for sale.
Seems likely we'll land around 19,000, possibly a bit above. Compares favourably with semi attendances against the OF, but less than we sold for the game with Hibs. By quite a bit. Prerty sure that was 23,000.
We're basically taking a home crowd.
