I'd say the songwriting of both Cohen and Simon comes from a very similar poetic songwriting mindset or tradition. For my money they are two of the 20th century's finest poets in the English language, and I can read their songs as readily as listen to them. If you haven't already explored them, give them both a good listen.

I really don’t want to see another plastic pitch the top flight, hopefully St J or Ross Co send Ian Murray’s men home crying. As an aside, does anyone have the clip of Ian Murray getting skinned in a cup game? Think it was against Ayr or Airdre

We were behind that goal and it was mostly Hearts fans but some bluenoses, and when Ford scored this big tube walloped my young brother over the head, he was the smallest, typical. Anyway he regretted it. Great night.

Just seen the documentary. Some of it is sensationalised and not much worse than you'd expect when a large group gather, but the folk rushing the gates, attacking stewards, "jibbing" in were clearly opportunistic scumbags. Lucky no one was seriously hurt. Read a story separate from the doc about a dad who was taking his disabled kid to the game and he was physically pushed away from their wheelchair while some dick basically kidnapped his kid to try and get in posing as their carer. Disgusting stuff.

Great news Beni's football is pretty sexy

🙄

He has been one of my favourite Hearts players in recent years. A player we could rely on to show up in any big game. That kind of player is worth their weight in gold. It's been sad to see injuries take their toll and keep him out the team. As hard as it is to say, it is definitely the right time for a parting of the ways. He just couldn't physically cut it anymore. Hopefully he will get the reception he deserves tomorrow. Thank you for everything Pete. You've done a sterling job for Hearts and you will be missed. Don't be a stranger. The welcome mat will always be rolled out for you at Tynecastle.

I've never heard that song before. It sounds a little like Simon and Garfunkel!

Yes they do. They wanted me at work, but I refused as I'm feeling like shite, and didn't want to pass onto my colleagues.

Ditto

Bobby Parker is long gone.

Not for me. We need a proper defender at RB. CP doesn't fall into that category. He's not gonna shift anybody in midfield either. Resounding no!

In please. Lol

I wouldn't imagine many directors from that era are still with us tbh.

🎵 🎶 Donald Ford he is the King, He scores goals from either wing, And when he scores all his goals, You should hear the roars from the Gorgie Road, ….. …..Who are Hibs? Fork the Hibs Heart offffff Midlothiannnnn! 🎶🎵 * tune by ‘Lieutenant Pigeon’ (!!), song:- ‘Mouldy Old Dough’!

What does "best" mean 'n'all'n'anyways? If I were picking Cohen, I'd probably opt for: I've been listening to this for 50 years, and the third verse still gets me every time I hear it - maybe the finest piece of poetry I've ever heard. But could I call it the best song ever written? Dunno.

Does your work still have any protocols on this John? Otherwise just treat it like the cold/flu it is (now that so many of us have resistance) and go to the game.

Nor so sure about that. Tait flatters to deceive for me from what I have seen so far. Neither look that convincing so far but they ate both young and will improve given the chance

That's an astonishing amount. Well done everyone.

Just watched the first episode of Bodkin on Netflix. An American, an English woman and an ex-pat Irish woman go to make a podcast in a remote rural village in Cork. They're trying to do a human interest crime story about some people who mysteriously disappeared 25 years before. But it turns out that most of the village folk have something to hide - and a lot of what they're hiding doesn't seem to be 25 years old. So far, so good.

👍

When fit he was a great player. Had injuries not ruined so much of his time at Hearts he would have been a great player (if he was fit in 19/20 season, I doubt we would have ended bottom.) Seemed a great person and well respected in the dressing room. Hope he goes on to enjoy the rest of his career, and is not a stranger to us in the future.

A winger and a right back and we’re good in my opinion. Obvs a striker if Shanks goes. Early business done well so unless we get a chance of real quality we’ll do fine with another couple👍 Looking forward next season already.
