maroonlegions Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 This was told to me this morning from a hobo work colleague about yesterdays win,"Aye if Fletch had not been sent off we would have won because we were at home and had the fans right behind us". :108years: Yip, he said that with a straight face and seemed to think it mattered to me as i rightly reminded him that Fletchy boy deserved to be red carded and Why did he fail to score when clean through ,was it because he is fecking over rated , maybe.He walked away from a chorus of "1902, 1902, you"ve no won the cup since 1902", from me and a few jambos who were eagerly listening and waiting for his excuses.:108years: Anyone else had their jaw dropped in bewilderment from hobo work mates excuses.

Therapist Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anyone else had their jaw dropped in bewilderment from hobo work mates excuses. If the people in question are in proper employment - ie a full time job that doesn't involve dealing drugs or pimping - then it goes without saying that they cannot be true hobos.

willie wallace Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 To be fair none of them at my work even mentioned the sending off.They said a lot about Mixu and Riordan and basically admitted they are a poor side.Of course they say it was a dire game between two bad teams but you always sat that when you lose.

JamTarts1874 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Aye most folk I ken who are hobo's admitted they were gash yestarday and deserved to lose. But where do they get that they were the better team before the sending off? In my opinion (trying to NOT be biased, however hard that may be) I thought that it was pretty even before the red card was shown. Oh well.......

neave Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Talking to a Hibee mate of mine post-match, and he revealed these pearls of wisdom: Berra should've been booked for diving. Nade is ****e. Szamatulski is a great 'keeper. Hearts didn't deserve to win 2-0; a draw was a fair result. Only one team looked like scoring and that was Hibs. (Honest to ****ing God, KB; trying to point out that it was, indeed, Hearts who scored twice was met with an 'aye, but you ken what I mean'.) The Hearts fans were silent all game and hardly made a noise when we scored the first. The Hibs fans were noisier. The ref should be sacked. Apparently Hibs should've had a penalty.

Drylaw Hearts Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 One of the Hobo's I 'work' with had the cheek to tell me he didn't actually care we beat them. Now considering he spent all day on Friday informing me exactly what his team were going to do to mine I found his statement a little strange. When I reminded him of our pre-weekend chat he promptly told me to ****** off. Small Club and a small Support with really small brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
