Boab Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 4 hours ago, HeartsandonlyHearts said: From about 1970 until I moved away in 1988 I bought the Wee Red Book and swore “this will be the year” I still go into every first league game of the season thinking this will be the year. That’ll never stop for me. I agree we’re in a good place right now but we have to start being like the two @$$ cheeks. Selfish to a fault. The vote to have us demoted showed us exactly how we have to behave moving forward. Hearts and only Hearts. If we continue being third, make money in Europe, have long cup runs then we’ll be able to afford the next level of player. The OF will always have more money due to as you stated gate sizes every two weeks. Hearts need to continue to improve and get closer season by season. The OF may cripple themselves trying to keep the same type of distance between themselves and us, while still trying to pull away from each other. I’m going to continue to dream that I’ll see a Hearts league win one day. I just wish our $#!tty association and football media could get on board with the fact that a competitive league is better than the same two horse race every season. We can all dream. HHGH I can’t disagree with a word of that. 👍 The only caveat I'd put in is, yes, let's be selfish. If they can get us into a better round in Europe by getting some coefficient points but not winning too much, take it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always gets brought up when the Old Firm are horsed in Europe yet when they come up against and beat teams in Scotland who have 1/10th if not less than their budget, they are bummed up like they are world beaters. Ramseys earns our yearly budget in less than 2 months so **** every one of them. They don't want an even playing field in Scotland and moan when teams reject low ball offers because how dare they block a player moving to The Rangers or Celtic like they are Barca or Real Madrid.

I am neither Catholic nor attended a RC school, but I still knew about Rangers' long-standing policy not to sign Catholics. Everyone did. There was even the famous Rikki Fulton sketch about it. I can only assume you are very young or you go about with your head in the sand. Lesser known perhaps was Rangers policy on no facial hair for its footballers. celtic had a policy of not signing protestants when it began to change a number of players including pat crerand were not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANOJAMBO Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 23 hours ago, May one-six said: Alex Ferguson got grief from a director at Ibrox because he married a Catholic. That's why he loved to get it up them. Ferguson was binned by Rangers after he got the blame for a defeat in a particular game ( I read this ages ago but can't remember the details). Needless to say his career went down the toilet after that. I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of Fergie's mouth , frankly, after the way he walked out on Man U. Someone mentioned a Rangers' player who marred a RC and was binned - the name I recall is Graham Fyffe (sp ?). As for the "water issue" on Tuesday - allegedly (some) kiosks were closed after Rangers fans attacked the staff , leading to shortages of everything, not just water.

Not doubt this will tickle some people, and regardless of what you think of sevco, that is pretty shit tbh. No wonder they were angry. I love tifos at football and something has gone wrong here.

SwindonJambo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I traveled North on yesterday's evening train from Euston to Edinburgh. A good few East Coast currants on board and I have to say they were all pretty sound, impeccably behaved and respectful of other passengers. Apparently none arrested in Seville but a few definitely reacted in kind when attacked by Frankfurt heidbangers. I'm sure they weren't perfect but it certainly wasn't a Manchester Mark 2.

Ex member of the SaS Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Water in the Sevco end. I read it somewhere that the kiosks ran out of water and when staff tried to replenish the kiosks they were attacked by Sevco fans. Hope they run out of STEAM today. Found it on the BBC site: A statement from Spanish club Sevilla FC, who hosted the final, said demand for bottled water was triple what was expected for a normal match and they sold out. The statement said: "The club tried to replenish the water at the bars, but the fans literally assaulted the employees who were in charge of replenishing before the bottles as they tried to reach the bars, then finally it was necessary to close them.
