Gary G Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Was there actually anything in the article that was inaccurate? I am the only one who was concerned that in his interview, when asked about Hearts winning the league he answered by saying it was more important that we played younger players so that maybe they could go on to better teams? Is nobody else concerned that this is all he is interested in? What happened to the plans for winning the SPL & the Champions League? Just proves again that Vlad cannot be trusted. He says the things we want to here at the beginning to get all the fans onside & then totally moves the goalposts. Vlad is a far bigger ****** than Roddy Forsyth. He has no class in defeat and no class in victory & is a general embarrassment to this club. As a newcomer to this country Vlad was asked by a predatory press lynch mob wheteher he thought Hearts could win the League, Euro Champions etc. Whether he believed it or not he replied "yes", and why not have those ambitions if you had planned to invest heavily in a team. The headlines which screamed out from the papers bore little resemblance to the actual quotes Vlad made. They mocked him from day one for having the temerity to hope he could challenge the two Glasgow Giants. He was taken aback by this and decided to go to war with the press, a war he could never win, especially when some swallow every slanted headline, hook line and sinker without actually reading the quotes. Now decide what you want from Vlad. Does he state he wants to win trophies or does he say we won't. Either way the Press will have a go, its a shame when supporters of our club do the same thing.

Rods Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 http://www.telegraph.co.uk at what point did vlad say move on to better teams like rangers or Celtic He said better team this is not sloppy journalism it is plain outright lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary G Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Was there actually anything in the article that was inaccurate?. Was there anything accurate? We learned Vlad has a Rolls Royce with a private number plate. Lucky Barsteward wish it was me "Vlad conveniently waited tiil Kaunus had won the game before ranting about the Scottish Mafia" What did Forsyth expect a post match interview while the game was still in progress. Players will improve to go to a better team, Celtic Rangers? Happens to every team just ask Blackburn Rovers, Tottenham etc christ even Man Utd struggled to hold on to a player. the Celtic and Rangers quotes came fron Forsyth not Vlad. One thing you can be sure of though, they will go on Hearts terms, unlike the past when they went for a pittance when the OF showed up. Volatile commodities, a bank, under performing scottish football club, selling houses to fund a stadium. Theres a Scottish Club over performing?, 99% of banks will come out of the current ***** smeling of roses, thought we were building a hotel and leisure, commercial outlets within the new stand Vlad is far from perfect but he seems to hate the OF and the GFA and there lackeys in the press as much as I do, and that will do for me.

ernie winchester Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Was there anything in the article that was actually newsworthy and impartial? Every club that isn't in the upper echelons of club football will have to sell players on - be it from a lack of assets or from the players own desire to move on and, to be honest, I don't find those comments in the least bit upsetting. Vlad's comments were blatantly designed to irk the journalists that have given him pelters since he came to tynie. Worked rather well, I think. Good on him. Everything that turdbag Forsyth has written stinks of bitterness. Glad I saw this post Monkfish. I was starting to think that I was the only one who thought it was obvious that Vlad was simply treating Jim Spence with the contempt he deserves, and was basically toying with him. A lot of people on here appear to have taken every one of Vlad's words literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Actually feel sorry for Forsyth. Envy is such a cruel emotion, you can tell it's eating away at him. Vlad can afford a Rolls, you can't, deal with it you brat. His (pub?) team dumped your overhyped clowns, face up to it, don't go gobbing off ranting in the newspapers. This piece of bile is just that, a rant. Quite embarrassing for a grown man to act in such a manner in public. One good thing about the internet, it's shown talentless nobodies like this up, as I can read more thoughtful and well written pieces by people on forums such as this (no, really!). Spiers article is pretty good (at least tries to lend some evidence to his arguement/views), hope the bloke's wrong about us coming 6th, but with us startiung the season with literally the same squad that finished last, he might have a point.

Erik Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 How dare Vlad, a millionaire, arrive in a Rolls Royce. How dare Vlad have a private plate for said Rolls Royce. And how very dare he wait till AFTER the match before commenting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevmacd Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Just for a little bit of devilment I sent this. Dear sirs, Could you ask Mr. Forsyth what is wrong with a multi-millionaire owning and using a Rolls Royce? Is he so bitter and twisted because "his beloved Rangers" were punted from Europe by the Heart of Midlothian's B team that he has to resort to petty and personal attacks on Mr Romanov? I'm sure the owner of "his beloved Rangers" has a penchant for fast and very expensive motor vehicles so why not start every article writes about "his beloved Rangers" with a description of Mr Murray's latest wheels? Should the focus of his bitterness due to "his beloved Rangers" being out of Europe before the SPL begins (a feat I thought only able to be accomplished by the wee team in Edinburgh, Hibernian, by the way) not be aimed at Mr Murray and of course old Wattie? Surely a snide swipe at the Heart of Midlothian's majority shareholder is not something to be condoned by this newspaper let alone an article within it. Of course we, and especially the citizens of Manchester now know how well fans of Rangers react when beaten in Europe. Kind regards Ho Ho - I sent this to Roddy (funnily enough, I've not had a reply yet!) "I could feel your pain, reading your article about Romanov's Roller. Must have been difficult for one so clearly passionate about Rangers to take it so tight from a team of Hearts rejects. However, GIRFUY! Ho ho ho!!

marshallschunkychicken Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I've seen a few people, including quite a few posters on here, pick up on Vlad's quote ''This might be the way for them to go to better teams." am I the only one who doesn't take Vlad at face value for this particular statement? Given the context of the interview, which was basically a polemic on the Scottish footballing system I think this was more a sarcastic dig at the way football in Scotland works, with youngsters being developed by clubs only for Rangers and Celtic to pluck the best ones up(invariably to sit on their benches). oh, and Roddy Forsyth, MA HA!!! Have to say, that's exactly how I took the quote as well. not only has he taken a dig at the OF buying up all the talent with a sarcastic suggestion that Hearts will fall into line with this, like the rest of Scottish football, but Forsyth has failed to see the irony and taken the hook in quite majestic style. Wonder who looks foolish now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buca junior Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 While we are all having a jolly at Rangers expense, back patting and praising Vlad I think we must remember one thing..........it was Romanov's Lithuanian team Kaunas that humbled Rangers, not Heart of Midlothian. If we have another sub-standard season will everyone still be so enthralled at Kaunas' victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC_Hearts Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The accident happened after either a Dalkeith rugby game or training session (played in the same team as my dad). Drove a sports car, maybe mg, Jensen or similar, but the MIM empire was still in its infancy. In fact the story goes that it was the help he received from the rugby community that helped his business empire to flourish as it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdewar42 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Roddy Forsyth makes what could be construed as valid fiscal points- valid in the short term that is. I've heard many financial pundits discuss the present situation, but no one has ever said that it would last for ever. In any case, isn't Edinburgh bucking the worst of the trend. That said, such considerations have no place in the sports sections of the press, and only serve to reveal Mr. Forsyth as a envy-ridden, sarcastic, puerile, churlish blue-nose, who seeks to deflect attention from the pathetic showing of Rangers by an irrelevant rant against Heart of Midlothian and its owner. It is really sad to see such a total lack of objectivity from a journalist employed by a, so-called, quality newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samster Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 They still dont get it .............. Exactly what I'm thinking Jayel and it's highlighted perfectly in this comment: before issuing his customary rant about how Scottish football is run by the mafia Do Forsyth and the other media diddy's think Vlad's saying Scottish football is actually run by the Camorra or the Cosa Nostra?!? Sorry Roddy you complete donkey, he's saying it's run like the mafia. i.e. everyone with vested interests looks after themselves and they don't like outsiders upsetting the applecart.

freddiemac Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Since mr bitter face Forsyth is such an expert in club owners finances , he will no doubt be well educated on mr murrays recent business ventures. Selling the majority of Murray international metals just before the boom in metal prices and using the cash to plough into land and property just before the big craaaaaaaash! However as murray continues to trouser all the profits from catering ,car parking and ticketing at ibrox he won't have to worry where his next bentley is coming from.

Thunderstruck Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It was only a fleeting glimpse but I am sure I passed Walter Smith in a big Rolls or Bentley in Bearsden last April - probably on his way to Murray Park.
