dannymack Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 or should i say The Famous Four picture ? My mate was given this picture from the Sports Memorabilia shop in The Gyle and on closer inspection he noticed that the two Rudi celebration pictures are of the same goal, he went in to ask for a refund but the Manager was insistent that it was of the 2nd and 5th goals, despite his plea the manager sent him on his way refusing the refund but offered a credit note instead, he sent me the picture and i think he is right after examining the cup final footage, the devil in me responded with "You should have bought the other one instead fud " lol what do you think ?

dannymack Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Aye same goal! Any more responses agreeing with him will make him even more determined to get a refund, i told him just to swap it over for something else (there is a better montage) but he is now insistent due to the manager disagreeing with him lol Personally think it's a great urine extraction of the hibs' Famous Five.

mattyw_1874 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The 5th picture shows Rudi from the front and you can see Hearts fans. Rudi scores the 5th and celebrates with his back to the hobos at all times. As for the second. To prove the matter. Gowser is hugging Rudi when he does his points to the boot thing. At the 5th goal he gets lifted up as he bows. Both same goal. FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 95 quid that picture costs. Nary a signature in sight. I could make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi magic Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I would also point out to the boy in the shop that in the 5th photo grainger is in the background behind rudi. Grainger has just shelled the ball from left back to suso and was absolutely no where near rudi when he scored the 5th! Definitely not a photo of the great man celebrating his 2nd.

Floyd Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Your mate has been bumped a cracker!!!! Tell him I know a boy who can sell him magic beans that will grow into a beanstalk and let him into a giants castle where there is a goose who lays golden eggs. In order to get these beans, I require all of his possessions and money. Tell him to PM me and I will negotiate the details on his behalf, half up front the other half when I deliver the beans.

Guest Prentice Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The shop is apparently owned/run by a hibby, and several folk have posted on here in the past about having had complaints and problems with the shop.... I've been into this shop a couple of times and the quality of prints is terrible. Last time I was in there was a hubs Christmas card in honour of Albert Kidd. Probably their best seller.

The Treasurer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I saw this as I was passing the shop yesterday and thought it looked quite good (I only had a brief glance so didn't notice the detail) Thanks for the warnings. Hopefully the club shop can come up with something along the same lines, but with appropriate photos. I'd much rather give my cash to the club than to some dodgy hobo trying to cash in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 95 quid that picture costs. Nary a signature in sight. I could make one. Exactly. I'd be making the guy give a refund. False advertisement and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 ?95 !!!!!!!!!!! FFS he didn't mention that. I passed on all the responses from this thread to him this morning and he's heading up there this afternoon for a discussion... knowing him he'll end up in the cells lol. He didn't take the Albert Kidd cards and the owner being a hibee very kindly so I think we've added more fuel to the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h751 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I was gonna say just stick a photo of the 5th into the 5th slot... There are plenty pics doing the rounds... But at 95 quid?? F that. Ram it up the guys arce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 There's no doubt it's the same goal celebration and ?95 seems a bit steep but other than that, I think it's a smart bit of work, particularly 'The Famous Five' dig and the excellent font.

Badgeofpride Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 That picture was on sale the Monday after the cup final. It's cheap tat and the quality of the pictures are very low. The shops early stuff is high quality and since then it's gone downhill. The guy that runs it in my opinion in an arse and the whole of the Gyle Centre is pretty balls.

hughesie27 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Before the final he paid players feom both teams to sign a load of memorabelia.

Say What Again Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The guy that owns it is called Alex. He used to be a freelance journalist. He's the biggest con man I've ever met! He'd actually call up players hounding them for boots, tops etc.. Had the 'pleasure' of him introducing himself to me and a mate one day in my local. Said he was a sports journo and proceeded to rattle off about six exclusives he quoted as "done deals". I'm 99% certain not one of these done deals ever happened. He passed us later on the evening and asked my mate for a light. He offered him the lighter and he refused it, saying he would only accept it if he could guess my mates star sign , then proceeded to sit down and make a guess. He was told to take the lighter and f--- off, or simply f--- off. I'm pretty sure he's barred now for getting into an argument (in which he was clearly wrong) with the manager.

That's sounds exactly the type of thing he would do! He's so strange. I was out in Mercado one night thru the week with Kenny miller, that's when we first met him. After hounding Kenny for the whole night we managed to pie him and head to another boozer. Within ten mins of being there he strolled in and admitted to following us. I honestly couldn't believe it. His brother is just as weird, he was with him at the time. We ended up going home and in the morning Kenny calls me and says his dad got woken up at 4 in the morning from a guy called Alex wanting to know how his night went!!! That's how strange this guy is.

Craigieboy Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 To clarify the pre cup final signing. The guy actually paid a lot of money to the entire hibs team to sign frame mounts, not photos. These were to be used to frame photos of hibs with the cup. Fortunately it was a complete waste of money and I can only imagine how much of a prick he feels for doing it in the first place.

He'd actually call up players hounding them for boots, tops etc.. He also tried to stitch up a couple of SPL players by selling pics to newspapers of players on nights out after a Scotland game, even though they didnt do anything wrong. Wouldn't buy any of his stuff. Hope your mate gets a refund! I don't have any inside info but let's just say I'm amazed at how long this particular business has been on the go.

Badgeofpride Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 He had a massive basket of Robbo 27 and Skacel 8 shirts, he got Robbo and rudi to do a signing in his shop (I was happy enough, 98 and 06 final programmes signed for free), Robbo and rudi gave these away for free on the night... Next again day the creep was popping them off for ?100 each. Plain maroon t shirts, with a brick font on them. Zero do with Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Okay folks, unfortunately my mate couldn't make the shop today but he did try to phone the number on the business card several times but all he got was the Tesco answering service, he also phoned the land line number on the shops "recently updated" website but all he got was for what he assumed was a very cheesed off Asian woman (her personal land line number and is sick to the back gums of people phoning her in search of Extra Time Memorabilia). I have passed on the email address supplied by Rudy T (CHEERS `1 ) and he has also contacted Trading Standards, the ball is firmly in his court. He will be visiting me tonight and i'll be showing him this thread, he appreciates all the responses by giving him extra armour in his quest for a refund.

Wee Robbo Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Really hope your brother gets his cash back. One other thing on him. Kennys ex was in the shop when he was at Ocean T and noticed a pic she personally got framed and signed by Kenny was on the wall. It was given to a friend of the family. Anyway she said were did you get that? Not recognising her he spouted how Kenny came in and signed it personally and how he got it framed. She then said "oh really? Funny that because that's the same pic I got framed myself and was there when Kenny signed it and gave it to a family friend so your lying" apparently he was lost for words. He should be closed down.
