New Rangers kits... 🙃 Or maybe it's the new Philippines kits if you're a lover of desserts?

Chelsea are not Brightons competitor's. They aren't fighting for a similar position in the league. Same as us with the bigots . . . . Before now !!

Should I pickle them instead?

Really pleased for him. Fantastic opportunity & a move that will financially transform his life. I know someone who worked with him at Partick, and was not impressed with his attitude! He’s turned his career round, and will now be held up to other players as a shining example of hard work.

why would they open the wheatfield when the other stands aren’t sold out ?

Not sure Wilson and his connections envisaged him playing for Livingston or Falkirk when the new contract was signed. If he's going to make it as a top player he will find a place in the Hearts first team. The assumption that precedes a loan deal is that he is inferior to all the other forwards and I don't accept that this is the case. None of the forwards being brought in using JTA are the finished article. If you follow the logic applied to putting Wilson out on loan then a number of the new signings will also be heading out on loan. 🙄

I think comparing the position Hearts & Brighton are is apples & oranges. Brighton play in the league that is basically the top of the pyramid. You can probably count 4 or 5 clubs across Europe that can pay the sort of fees Brighton look for that AREN'T in the EPL already. So the pool of prospective clubs is very small meaning they will be selling to rivals more often than not. Conversely, we'll generally be selling players for <£5m, of which there are probably north of 100 clubs across Europe that can afford that sort of fee. So we shouldn't ever really find ourselves in a position where Rangers or Celtic are the only suitors. Obviously Scottish players that can't see past Glasgow will remain an issue, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

Clarke has accommodated both Tierney and Robertson in a back 5 with Robertson as Left Wing back. Penrice could be cover for Robertson, whereas Tierney is used more as a left centre back.

People meant to die??? A well meant speech. It was a tweet and if you think that's fine, you and Harry are welcome to each other. Lots of heartfelt messages from thousands and right there in the middle like a massive iceberg, "People are meant die!" Great comfort to his wife and family, I'm sure. In passing "bearing false witness" means lying not disagreeing, but obviously going by your low level of understanding, not surprised.

Can’t wait to start watching Hearts playing at Tynecastle again (soon).

Bloody English!

Such a shame that Englands darlings got beat! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👏

Williamson got to the ball on time, and cleared it away. Karchaoui had no right to go sliding in late at that speed. She could claim unfortunate timing, but players are regularly sent off for the same timing error. Williamson seemed to hit her head on the ground, and I think that's what the ref was focused on.

Glad to see he can still sing shame he has to sit down on stage but he's putting on a show regardless

Couldn’t spell it, will stick with reeoka I think😁

No way it was full size I reckon. I'm pretty sure Joel sked said it was a small pitch too.

In nominal terms, definitely In real terms, it will take a while but it could happen. After 18 years of inflation, £9m in 2007 is over £15m in today's money (https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator) In football inflation terms, it might be a challenge. Apparently Gordon's transfer is the equivalent of nearly £25m today (https://www.totallymoney.com/content/transfer-index/data/#filters?/options?order=9|desc&search=Craig gordon) *honourable note for Percy Dawson who was sold by us for a world record transfer fee in 1914 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Dawson_(footballer))

Yes, as can the club however I'd imagine there will be financial penalty clauses etc to stop another club gazumping. IIRC did this not happen with Jon Obi Mikel. I think he signed a pre contract with Man Utd then showed up to train with Chelsea and signed a contract with them. I'm sure Chelsea had to pay Man Utd about £20m for him in the end.

Wowser that's a good target to aim for definitely! I reckon within 5 to 10 years we will.

Lets hope they have a shocker. It would be brilliant to see them tailspin.

Brighton merrily sell to competitors. Well, Chelsea. I get why it feels crap but it's good too- it's not just us getting a fee, it's less money they've got to spend elsewhere.

Come on Hearts stop doing the SFA Hampden thing and get the Wheatfield opened up. I know it’s not the section by section thing but this is ridiculous and even if they were to open up another stand it should of been the Wheatfield not the Gorgie Road Stand.

Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney play the same position as Penrice. There is zero chance of him getting a cap ahead of those two. There is no conspiracy if Penrice doesn’t get capped.
