So by "all members", he really just means Hearts? Hearts called him a liar and tried to get him sacked! Taking the spfl to court ffs How the f**k is it disgraceful to be cleared over loads of allegations and not be delighted? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs net admins are fine and the forum can’t have any kind of comparison to what they are allowed to say and do on kickback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As she's established throughout this, and particularly in yesterday's outstanding statement, this was never really about where Hearts happened to find themselves when the music stopped. Instead, it's all been about governance, fairness and decision making. I'm quite certain that Ann's noble quest will continue well beyond the bounds of today's petty circumstances. Can't be any worse than your disparity quest monkey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 More unbecoming nonsense from English in his latest piece for the BBC. Yes, there's amusement attached to Hearts' situation because they're a relatively big club, but the absence of empathy owes much more to the club's undignified, aggressive stance throughout this. The complete lack of humility has made them fun and easy to attack. His failure to recognise this surprises nobody of course, because he's been cheerleader in chief all along. This idea that nobody wants to talk about Partick Thistle's situation is also rubbish. Most can recognise that they were relegated on an identical basis, but by a tighter margin. In my Tom English parody, I'll observe once more that he picked the wrong horse and just held on tighter and tighter as it careered off maniacally. He now looks suitably bedraggled as he attempts to dismount. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really no fan of Doncaster, but he'd been accused of serious failings here. Of course he was pleased to be cleared of them. I actually thought he managed a pretty measured response, given the circumstances. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
