Jambos Kickback

I think Saturday really showed how far behind the rest of Scotland are in terms of us and them. Hearts are the 3rd best team in Scotland. Yet they couldn't beat a team who have played 65 games this season, lost a massive game on pens on the Wednesday night. The only reason it went to ET was because we didn't have a striker, Craig Gordon and some goal saving blocks. They didn't register a shot on target in 120 minutes, in a final. Even the game they drew 1-1 with us at Ibrox, that was because of an individual error and some glaring misses, even then the first half they didn't have one shot and barely got of their half. They got pumped off our B Team and lost heavily to Celtic the week before.

If we manage to get CL football this year its only going get worse for those teams because financially ourselves and Celtic will pull away from them completely especially with the current TV deal and that Whopper of a league sponsorship at 40k per season per club.

Mate to be fair (a wee bit fair) to Hearts, we came back from an extra time midweek European match and played celtic on the Sunday and blew them away in extra time too - our players were running the length of the pitch while theirs could barely walk.

They have had a decent season finishing 3rd and getting to the Scottish Cup final only to be beaten by a team who are Europa League finalists. They only got promoted last season.

The caants over on jkb seem to have weird recollections of the 1976 Cup final. As history tells us DJ actually scored before the official 3.00 pm KO time and a fair number of Rangers fans in the hearts end were pelted with bottles as soon as they started celebrating.
We were in that end but only managed to get in about the 5 minute mark. By then the Rangers fans were retaliating including by catching the fartz missiles and throwing them back.
If you listen to those delusional pricks though - as usual - it as always the Rangers fans' fault and we started it.

Thought that was at half time , memory must be shit.:eek: We were right in front of their fans.
Anyway, my old man stood behind me and covered my head best he could as screw tops were flying everywhere . Didn’t last that long if I’m correct.

I was 13 and my bro 12 when we attended, going in the kids queue at the east end of the ground and some older Hearts fans staring giving us grief, 'feck off' 'this is the Hertz end, ken?' etc.

We baled out and older Bears asked us what was up, as were practically greetin' as my Da and Uncle were in the adult queue and nowhere to be seen. We told him, were escorted back to the queue and some hard words exchanged with the suddenly sheepish Embra wankers. Great day :))

Due purely to our efforts in Europe, which have they have booed every step of the way, they have guaranteed group stage football this year. That provides them with a big income boost next season and an opportunity to improve their squad. They have us to thank for that but I don’t think they realise it.

Spot-on, Brain. You won't see that anywhere prominent in the SMSM.

Looking in one of my Football stats books Hibs last won the league in 1952 and Hearts in 1960.
Mediocrity is a good word for them.

That’s a frightening stat but not one that would surprise many.

Since the inception of the Scottish Cup and the league thereafter, honours have taken up residence in the West, specifically Glasgow, more than anywhere else in the country. It began with Queens Park and continued quickly thereafter and now in the present day with the Old Firm. Call it the Natural Order perhaps!
 
The crying and wailing at the BBC coverage is even more hilarious. :D

BBC “Scotland”

Currently their top two stories are about Rangers winning the cup. How much further up Rangers’ fundament can they get? Literally pathetic.

First page i clicked on has someone wanting Atkinson thrown out the club because he couldnt handle Kent and Bassey.

Someone else pointed out the some of the best defenders in europe havent been able to handle Kent this season.

Bassey looks like a guy with the first 8 matches of the season under his belt not the tail end of 60
 
Hearts and Hibs would each need to fill at least a 40k capacity stadium every other week if they wanted to try and compete with us.

Never going to happen, they can't even sell out 20k stadiums. You're never going to have a decent budget with maybe 15k hardcore followers in the Scottish league so I can see how their fans are frustrated.

It's like a 12 stone noodle armed skinny guy complaining how he can never beat a prime Mike Tyson.

At least 2 or 3 of them referred to needing a "Colin Cameron" type player in the middle of the park B-D

This is hilarious because -

1) Colin Cameron last played for them almost a quarter of a century ago.
2) Colin Cameron was pish.
3) See point 2 again.

he was in my panini sticker album in primary school.

I’m now coming up for 40

The preparations, tactics, execution and modification were a total and utter failure. That was a disgrace, and an embarrassment at best to the reputations of our leaders and tacticians. An utter capitulation. James IV did better at Flodden in that he left a name for himself as a foolhardy but immensely brave and bold leader. That was a load of absalut shitebaggery the day. Embarrassed at Hearts playing like that in a cup final

I remember going to their place with a mate that was a Hearts supporter, was sat in their stand, this was back about 1992. We got beat 2-1 and after Brain Laudrup scored our equaliser, two other bears sat to my left took dogs abuse, to the point the Hearts supporters sat around them got the stewards down to kick them out and as they were getting escorted out, they were spat on and called every name going. That was it for me, as far as our association with them was concerned. And my attitude towards them has only got worse throughout the years, to the point again, that I put them up with the scum from Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd etc, now.

I was in that stand that night, a young boy had a Rangers top on a they gave him and his dad abuse most of the night.
As you say when we scored they went running to the stewards to throw them out.

Was it a case of how those titles were decided, Hearts lost on Goal Average in 65 but would have been top if it was goal difference and the opposite applied in 86 with Hearts losing on goal difference but been top with goal average.

Hearts losing in 86 always sticks in my mind, I was chuffed we were beating Motherwell to clinch Euro football and was stunned when I heard Dundee had scored as Celtic were cruising their game.
 
The funny thing is Hearts fans are getting all upset about a game they really shouldn't have expected to win. Especially when you consider they got beaten by our kids a week before.

However, they seem to be of the impression they should have strolled that game and were gutted they didn't. :)):)):)):shh:
 
Just memtion any permutation of any of these :

1986,
Albert Kidd,
Dundee FC,
St Mirren FC,
Ref and Hearts fan Bill Crombie,
The complete collapse that saw them lose a fairly solid looking double in just one week.

Triggered? You bet they'll be.
 
Interesting article from a decade ago in The Scotsman. Quoted a couple of highlights which exposes Hearts fans hypocrisy.

Hearts situation of 100 years ago bears uncanny parallels with today

DEBT spiralling out of control, stadium needing redeveloped, players being sold to cut costs and supporters relying on a Russian businessman to save their team. This is not just Hearts of 2011, for over 100 years ago the very same issues were the talk of the toon in Gorgie as the Edinburgh club...
www.scotsman.com www.scotsman.com

As mentioned elsewhere, Hearts formed a new company in 1905 to avoid paying their debts and taxes. They even added ‘the’ to the start of the new company name :D

It really isn’t that different to our situation at all, yet many of the idiots in Kickback have the cheek to call us a new club and still claim they were formed in 1874 :D two of their four league titles and three of their eight Scottish cups came before 1905…

From the article -

“Parallels between Hearts’ problems of the early 1900s and the modern day almost send a shiver down the spine. Current debts of £36 million are comparable to the £1450 owed in 1905. Pressure from the tax man and creditors threatened to kill Hearts off back then until a Russian entrepreneur and his associates intervened.

“With the team decimated and funds wiped out after a fire destroyed Tynecastle, those three founded a new company to rebuild the team, pay off debts and prevent liquidation. Hearts trade as that very company to this day.”

“By the end of season 1904/05 Hearts found themselves in serious financial trouble, running at a loss on a weekly basis. The bank demanded security and outstanding creditors were pressing the club hard. Unpaid rates, taxes and creditors totalled £1450…The debt was too big for a relatively small company.”

“The solution was proposed by a group of influential men who were to become the driving forces of the new Hearts. Fürst, Wilson and Leishman – later Sir James Leishman – formed a new company to take over the assets of the old one and pay its debts. In April 1905, the company was incorporated with a subtle change. It was called “The Heart of Midlothian Football Club, Ltd”. Adding “the” allowed the formation of a new company to rescue the old one, and it began with £5000 of capital.“
