Dr. Bapswent Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The guy is a wee rat. But there is no denying his ablity. He also clearly loves hibs. Hibs are so lucky to have a player of his quality, playing for them, who wants to play for them. He epitomises what Hearts do not have, and need. Players who have a dream to play for Hearts, and will give their all for it. Do any of these players exist? Surely there must be youngsters, players in the reserves, or elsewhere who would give their right arm to play for Hearts? Anyone have any idea of who these might be? Are any of them decent?

leginten Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Talented he is. But he couldn't wait to get away from Easter Road and hit the big time. Now he's back kissing the badge. We used to have people who loved playing for Hearts. Not so long ago. Fortunately their treachery was uncovered before they really damaged the club.

Dr. Bapswent Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 He loved them so much he sold them down the river for a move to Sellick. Yep But his move to Celtic is only seen as selling them donw the river because he didnt do well there. If he had been a star, it would have been considerd a good move. But it wasnt, and now he is back, and doing the business. My point was, where are all these types of people who support HMFC? Do they exist? If not, why not? If so, who are they?

southside1874 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 He loved them so much he sold them down the river for a move to Sellick. The guy was getting paid nothing at Hibs. Celtic offered him 20 times his salary, so he went. He is now back at Hibs for 10 times his previous salary. I think it was Hibs who sold him down the river, we all have to earn our potential. The guy loves Hibs, but he was willing to come to Hearts if they paid the wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southside1874 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 While in China, a man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots. Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results. The man returns a couple of days later, and the doctor says, 'I've got bad news for you -- you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here ... We know very little about it.' The man looks a little perplexed and says, Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.' The doctor answers, 'I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your penis.' The man screams in horror, 'Absolutely not! I want a second opinion.' The doctor replies, 'Well, it's your choice. Go ahead, if you want, but surgery is your only choice.' The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims, 'Ah, yes, *****'ian We'Dee. Vely lare disease.' The guy says to the doctor, 'Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can I do? My Australian doctor wants to operate and amputate my penis!' The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs.. 'Dupid Austra'ian docta, always want to opelate. More money dat way. No need opelate!' Oh, Thank God!' the man replies. 'Yes,' says the Chinese doctor, 'wait two weeks. Faw off by itself!'

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Why seek players who's sole ambition is to play for Hearts? Once they reach the first team, thats it for them, they're not going to push themselves on to a higher level performance wise, and will sit in their comfort zone. We should be aiming for players that aren't just good enough to play for us, they're good enough to progress beyond Hearts. Gordon, as much as he loved Hearts, realised he could achieve far more away from the club (and indeed Scotland). Hibs (only after Celtic didn't deem him worthy of a regualr place) is the level of Riordan's ambition. Also, gone are the days of players like Gary McKay and Robbo, who, whilst good enough to progress, were extremely loyal to Hearts. Had Gordon played in a similar era, whats to say he wouldn't havr stayed at Hearts for a similar period? The fact is, players who are good enough and want to progress they're careers will move on, regardless of whther they're fans or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riordan had agreed a new contract at Hibs & it was withdrawn & then presented again a year on, he wanted the back money from the original contract offer, Petrie refused, he walked without signing, it was hardly the same as the way Webster took the P out of Hearts.

Sherlock Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 ...He epitomises what Hearts do not have, and need... Whilst we do not have and need a few things, Ratboy doesn't epitomise it. He was quick to play on a family members sellik credentials re the ashes-scattering and IIRC, he also bummed up his own sellik leanings when he signed for timmy. He simply epitomises all that is wrong, both in the capital and Scotland in general. He epitomises schemie culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riordan ran his contract down and left Hibs for nothing. Funny that the 'die-hard' Hibs fans Murray and Riordan were the ones who looked out entirely for number one. Even Rangers fan, Scott Brown, and Hearts fan, Steven Whittaker, managed to secure transfer fees for Hibs. Riordan can kiss the badge all he likes.
