PresidentRomanov Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 According to Heart of Midlothian FC's ticket office records, Alex Salmond has never owned a season ticket for Tynecastle. The ticket OAG is referring to, was one of two, purchased by his party, for entertaining guests. They also had two for Ibrox Stadium, Easter Road, and Parkhead. Alex obviously changes his team depending on who he's talking to at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known all along that Fatty was a wrong 'un. :mad: I'd like to see how the Salmond apologists get out of this one. Personally I believe, without any evidence other than the fact that he says so, that our first minister is a Hearts fan. I accept he may not have been to many ( or indeed any ) games recently but there are a lot like that. My old man, who has seen Hearts win more trophies than you and I ever will, hasn't been inside Tynecastle ( apart from my 50th birthday party in the gorgie suite ) since the John Cumming testimonial in the early 90s....and I paid for him to go to that....however I would still class him as a Hearts fan ( lapsed ).

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Personally, i'm not bothered by Salmond being a 'true hearts fan' or not - but your original argument that he cant be cos he likes the proclaimers is a pile of bull jism. See, i've been a season ticket holder until moving here and been going for many many years - yet get this - i also like the proclaimers, in fact i have 4 of their CD's, have been to see them a few times and have met them a couple of months back.

However, i'll quite happily continue to support Hearts and like the proclaimers at the same time. Incidentally, i have also listened to Simple Minds in the past, now they're a tic band are they not? And The View, they support one of the Dundeh teams. ****e, i'm not a real fan unless i only listen to Cicero!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WASTREL Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 First Hearts fan I've heard of that likes the Proclaimers. Fat, smug git. http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/latestnews/It39s-only-rock-and-roll.4273478.jp Well I must be the second. Have to admit it goes back to the time Charlie Reid donated a grand in cash to the Craig Levein testimonial fund. Salmond is a big Tartan Army man and guess what groups songs are played a lot when Scotland play. Also I used to sit not far from Salmond when he had a S/T.

The Vulture Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I saw Salmond at the 1998 Scottish Cup Final with scarf on. You shouldn't mix sport and politics anyway. Many politicians who share different political views are good friends when not in the house, e.g. going back a few years Norman Tebbit's best mate in the Commons was Dennis Healey, and a university friend from N. Ireland had a summer job in the European Parliament and she told me that John Hulme and Ian Paisley hung out together, whenever Hulme would turn up late IP would blame it on the devils buttermilk.

rdewar42 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Therapist seems to think that if he repeats something forceably and often enough, it will be recognised as fact. Who needs evidence or reasoned argument? I do believe Alex Salmond to be a Jambo, and can't understand why any Hearts supporter would wish to go out of their way to question that. The fact that he is an M.S.P., party leader, and, above all, First Minister might explain his failure to attend many games. No matter what you think of his politics, he is not deserving of the insults directed at him. I can only assume that Therapist is a perfect physical specimen. P.S. I am not an S.N.P. supporter.

Only by vetting every single fan at every single game could you know this. You may be correct, but how can you be so sure, and why do you wish to prove this point.

Shaggy2 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Never understood why we have to like/dislike/even hate someone because of the team they support. Some of my best mates are Hibs fans and we love winding each other up. I know Hearts fans I wouldn't give the time of day. My two grandfathers supported either side of the OF so football supporting hasn't ever really come into my judgement of a person. I've seen the Proclaimer's in Glasgow (while wearing a Hearts tartan kilt) and some of the banter was tremendous. I've also seen their musical (where I bumped into a Jambo mate fi North Berwick). Being a Jambo doesn't mean you have to stop being human. They're not mutually exclusive FFS! How do you exist if you hate people because they support Hibs??? And btw Salmond is a Jambo despite what Therapist and his picky bumchum say, I once met him in Ashley Terrace on his way to a game at Tynecastle in early 2000 (I'm sure it was Dundee) with scarf et al. Very friendly chap he was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Have seen him at Tynecastle on several occasions when Hearts have been playing over the last dozen or so years. He often attends with his niece. What is your problem? "Several" times over the last "dozen years". As opposed to "many times a season". As I said, I go to the games with 20 people. I know many many more regular attenders outside that inner circle. None of them can recall even seeing the Smug One at Tynecastle. If you put your evidence - which is extremely flimsy - against our evidence in a proper court of law, the only conclusion that could be reached would be that Salmond is no Hearts fan. Case closed.
