I was being sarcastic.  (Too Young for 86)

You’re lucky. Sometimes I wish I didn’t live it. Never read a newspaper, never seen the highlights. Didn’t even watch the documentary that was around recently. Not interested.

Agreed - it is still too painful even to think about! 🙈

I moved to the US in August 86. It helped a little. No constant reminders. It still hurts even today. ☹️

[Lone Striker]

From what some folk more knowledgeable than me have mentioned, 1st August seems be significant as far as players in England are concerned  - something to do with their contract end date and them getting their final salary.     

 

Monday 2nd August seems  a worthwhile date to have a gander at Hearts twitter page - there might be a photo of 2 heavily tattooed arms holding a scarf aloft.       We can then take bets on how long before the JKB oot brigade turn on him for being sh1te.

JJ got the monkey off our back but nothing can erase 1986! 🥲

8 months in and as much as Robbie done himself with the Brora result what has he brought to the plate ?

I’ve never physically seen us win anything.

98 I was already coming home for the World Cup.

2006 my parents were here visiting.

2012 we were already booked for my nephews July wedding back home.

Next one hopefully 👍🏻

Listen, I’m quite vocal on the transfers thread about the lack of transfers happening being an issue. But it was never about the group stage, I’m not going to bash anyone over the head for that. Let’s get some perspective. My main concern is the league and that to get up and running in the league it would be beneficial if we had the signings we need in earlier. And I’ll continue to have my concerns over lack of transfers as it relates to the league season ahead but come on, the League Cup performances (and certainly results) aren’t the bat to hit anyone with.

 

Out of interest, would you rather get better quality in slowly or just more rubbish ASAP? I'd prefer to sign 1 more very good player now and wait till the next window than sign 4-5 average squad players.

I think it’s a bit of a myth that to get quality we have to wait until the last four weeks of the window. I think too many are hanging on to the hope we’re waiting on some Naismith style contract expiry payoff before we sign anyone. Maybe we are, Savage’s interview indicates he was excited about the prospects after all. But I have never said we should sign mediocrity, but we have several positions where we need either improvement on the current first team or there’s no competition for places (like RB/RWB) where we could get someone in who may not be first choice. We’ve let 11 go and we’ve recently been promoted from a lower level, it’s only natural that improvements are something that has to be made, especially if we want Top 6 or a European place. We need signings, it’s only better for the team if they have time to gel. Signing players in the last days or weeks of the window does not provide that opportunity.

[Homme]

I'll judge at the end of the transfer window.

By the end of the transfer window we will have played 5 league games - let’s hope Joe can do the business well before then…..

A constructive and well thought out post - the usual suspects on here will however pigeon you as a “pant wetting toaster”!

[pointon]

You have to hand it to Randy Savage failed to sign his top targets and the ones we could afford have now so for other clubs no wonder JJ left
